Cause a woman without a husband is a treacherous beast with nothing to live for

"Dear Mrs. Cain, don't pay attention to these pathetic husbandless women who are jealous of women like you in happy long-term marriages," a supporter from California writes. "These vindictive women can't find a husband or keep one. They are like stalkers who try to latch on to any man who shows a bit of kindness or attention to them. When these unstable women come out of the woodwork to make accusations about Herman just say, 'Honey, get a life, I believe my husband.' We want you to be our First Lady Mrs. Cain!"

You know the original draft of that had the words "Hussies" and "Golddiggers" included.

I bet they're LIBERAL husbandless accusers, too!

TravisBickle62: Cause a woman without a husband is a treacherous beast with nothing to live for

Everyone knows women can't find the kitchen without a strong husband to guide her.

What does the fact Cain's accusers aren't married have to do with anything? If they had husbands, would that make them more believable?

I think Der Spiegel sums up the GOP's greatest hope quite well:

And so the farce continues. The more mind-boggling its incarnations, the happier the US media are to cheer first one clown and then the next, elevating and then eliminating "frontrunners" in reliable news cycles of about 45 days.

Take Herman Cain, "businessman." He sat out the first wave of sexual harassment claims against him by offering a peculiar argument: Most ladies he had encountered in his life, he said, had not complained.

In the most recent twist, a woman accused Cain of having carried on a 13-year affair with her. That, too, he tried to casually wave off, but now, under pressure, he says he wants to "reassess" his campaign.

If Cain indeed drops out, the campaign would lose its biggest caricature: He has been the most factually challenged of all these jesters.

As CEO of the "Godfather's" pizza chain, Cain killed jobs -- but now poses as the job-creator-in-chief. Meanwhile, he seems to lack basic economic know-how, let alone a rudimentary grasp of politics or geography. Libya confounds him. He does not believe that China is a nuclear power. And all other, slightly more complicated questions get a stock answer: "Nine-nine-nine!" Remember? That's Cain's tax reduction plan that would actually raise taxes for 84 percent of Americans.

Has any of that disrupted Cain's popularity in the media or with his fan base? Far from it. Since Oct. 1, he has collected more than $9 million in campaign donations. Enough to plow through another onslaught of denouements.


But who really cares what the richest nation in the Eurozone thinks about us anyways.

the 'Demonacrats'

Shoulda gone with Demoncrats. Not only is Demonacrats clunky but it has the wrong number of syllables. I know there's pressure on free republic to come up with "the next 0bama", but you should have vetted this one yourself. Lousy work.

Because if they had husbands Cain probably would have had his a$$ kicked by now.

This shows how intelligent Cain is. Farking a married woman might get you shot. Many stupid men have made this mistake.

"Husbandless accuser" is not really fair. There is nothing wrong with being husbandless. Besides, there is already a term for a woman who accepts money from a man in exchange for sexual favors.

This reminds me a lot of Bush's "unscripted" talk with the troops.

Ah yes, the old manufactured website "testimonials"...

I write these all the time for various clients' websites and print collateral.

"Well you don't have a husband" just sounds on the same level as "Well YOUR FACE IS FUNNY!"

This is our most desperate hour. Help me, The Herman Cain. You're my only hope.

What is it exactly that makes him such a "great hope?"

Right now, his story is that he was giving her money but getting nothing in return for it.

In an interview Thursday with the New Hampshire Union Leader, the Republican presidential hopeful said he gave Ginger White money to help her with "month-to-month bills and expenses" without telling his wife.

Cain has denied a sexual relationship and said he and White were only friends. He said he helped White pay her bills because she was out of work.

He described himself as "soft-hearted" and said White is not the only friend he has helped financially.

Fun fact: Cain is an associate minister at Antioch Baptist Church North in Atlanta. I wonder if he's ever given any sermons on adultery, and if there are any videotapes of him sermonizing.

In the words of the little boy in the YouTube video who was doped up on Dentist drugs, "Is this real life"?

Client wants "testimonials" section on their site or in their print collateral.

Client can't be arsed to collect actual testimonials from their customers or they don't actually have any or, as is probably the case with Cain's site, they need to craft a narrative that speaks to the target demographic and validates a predetermined point or "fact".

That's where the advertisers come in.

I'd much rather be designing instead of crafting bullshiat, but not all clients can afford a professional copy writer, and I've got deadlines to meet. : )

Oh I'm not judging you, it's just silly that we live in a world where that sort of thing happens. I mean you have literally no way of knowing whether it's a testimonial or a "testimonial". At least on TV you sometimes get the "this person was paid for their endorsement" disclaimer.

No worries, I don't feel judged. I have no illusions about the industry I work in.
Believe me, manufactured "testimonials" are probably one of the least sleaziest technique I've seen advertisers and marketers use.

Any "Dear Penthouse" letters on that website?

I read that as "soft headed" and nodded in agreement.
