So, you did something so not wrong, that you held a press conference about it before the allegations were made? Beyond the other allegations. And the other other allegations...

Why do I have a sinking suspicion that he will be able to parlay this into a lock on the
GOP nomination purely by making it look like he's being hounded by the press?

I was listening to a local call-in show here in NJ last night about this and there were a shocking number of people convinced that Cain was the subject of a left-wing conspiracy to discredit him. "He's an important figure in history, a black Republican running for president, and that just sticks in liberals' craws!"

/The show got really entertaining when a RON PAUL caller got through and spent his time outlining why RON PAUL is the only logical choice.
//I swear he even said his name in all caps.

Yeah, but no one cares. Herman Cain was last month's flavor. The new hotness is Newt Gingrich, and he's laughs at Cain's paltry 13 year mistress story.
 
2011-11-29 11:01:24 AM
We get it. He's black.

An affair with a 13 year-old? That's sick!

You have to admit, it would be a hilarious campaign to watch in certain parts of the country.

Did his wife know about the "friendship"? If not, why not?

I think it is other Republicans and it's kind of mean because it's so easy. I do not understand this guy at all.

Whatever... This clown was never serious about running for president anyway, but boy, oh boy did he get all the rubes and yokels in the GOP to buy some books.

Yes, the white woman who claims to have carried on an affair with Cain for 13 years now wants to do him in because she's racist.

Obama vs. Cain (aka Alan Keyes II). The debates would LOL legendary:

Moderator: Mr. Cain, what is your view of the current foreign policy situation with the U.S. and the Libyan people?
Cain: ................................... TWO WEEKS! ...................................
 
2011-11-29 11:10:44 AM
When these allegations first came out, they were followed with news stories about how donations to his campaign increased. I wonder how the people who donated to Cain because he was caught screwing around on his wife feel now.

Do you think it is a coincidence that there is a media blackout over the well established facts verified by such esteemed publications as NewsMax and Canada Free Press that the current Resident is a crack dealer who has a history of sex and drug abuse with gay prostitutes and having those in his way mysteriously done away with (in keeping with Muslim practices with killing non-believers)? Meanwhile they are taking the word and evidence provided by fly-by-night left wing rags like Politico and Fox at face value, even though Cain has set the record straight that he has never behaved in an inappropriate manner in his life.

If you don't see what is obviously going on you must be crazy.

Herman Cain actually thought he could carry on an extra-marital affair for 13 years, dump her so he can run for president, and she would just STFU and go away?

FTA: "From there, she said, he began flying her around the country to meet him at speaking engagements.

As for proof of the relationship, White handed over her cellphone, which contained dozens of calls and texts from a number she said was Cain's private cellphone. The last one had been as recent as September.

When Russell, the WAGA reporter, texted the number, Cain called back. He said he knew White but was only helping her financially."

/Airline ticket receipts and cellphone records have a distinctly liberal bias.

"It bothered me that they were being demonized, sort of, they were treated as if they were automatically lying, and the burden of proof was on them," White told the station. "I felt bad for them."

The burden of proof should be on the accuser.

That's kind of how our legal system is set up.

You're guilty!
No I'm not.

Well can you prove it beyond any shadow of a doubt in a court of law?
How do you prove a negative?

GUILTY!


"I'm not proud," Ginger White told Atlanta's WAGA-TV in a report that aired Monday evening. "I didn't want to come out with this. I did not."


So then why did y. . .


She described herself as an unemployed single mom trying to make ends meet.


Ah.

I'm starting to think that Cain is in this just to piss off his wife enough for her to divorce his ass just so he can go sell books, give speeches and bang more women. It's a win all around and hell if does become POTUS... hey more chicks! Right?

It's just a matter of time before we discovered that he paid for his girlfriend's abortion, and then he's toast.

When Cain gets attacked for eating arugula, rolling his sleeves up, taking his jacket off, using a terrorist fist-bump, holding a hip-hop bar-b-que, and being secretly Kenyan, you can make a comparison between him and Obama.

I'm not taking the time to read other's comments, so if I repeat...

1) attention whore wanting her 15 minutes
2) who cares? it's between Cain and his wife
3) that's the best he could do? for 13 years?

Hey now, he's not the flavor of the week; he's Black Walnut.

He's two-thirds correct, because it is undeniable that he is black and that he is a nut.

farkityfarker: Did his wife know about the "friendship"? If not, why not?

I always interpreted the notion of "helping her financially" to mean exchanging services for money.

I've been married ten years and if I did anything other than maybe put in a good word at somewhere I worked for another woman I would consider it over the line.

The GOP needs to police themselves and toss this clown out. It will at least lend them the sense of dignity and good taste that has been missing for over a decade.

Herman Cain is a patriot who is once again a target of the liberal-elite left-wing media machine. And even if something did happen, it was between two consenting adults who are hetero-sexual. The only issue with this whole situation is that her name is "White" and she looks like she might be white. The Tea Party is, of course, all for racial equality, but that might be a little over the line.
 
2011-11-29 11:48:22 AM
I am waiting for the reveal that all of these debates and contenders are really in on a big joke on the GOP. I say keep giving them rope...

It's a good thing GOP pruimary voters wised up, stopped supporting a guy with a long history of sexual misconduct, and switched over to Newt Ging--oh wait . . .
