Cain Accuser's

[Chubminnow]

This may have been discussed here before already, not sure if it has. At any rate...have you all seen what any of these so called "victims" of sexual assault look like? The one and only one I have seen is the fourth woman who came forward.

I know we ain't supposed to judge a book by it's cover...but she sort of has a "look" about her (in my opinion). For one, she looks slightly high maintenance to me...and if I see a woman who looks high maintenance it portrays to me that she's really only after one thing, and that is money.

Why is this woman just now coming forward with these alligations anyway? Who is paying her to come forward "now"? Is she getting paid to come forward now? What does she have to gain by spilling the beans now? What is in it for her? How come she put herself in a position to be supposedly be groped and felt up by Cain in the first place? The artcile I read mentioned that she was shocked when she arrived at the hotel to find out Cain had upgraded her room to a suite...and then AFTER DINNER her and Cain was sitting in his car and that's when Cain started getting touchy feely (supposedly)...Lady, if you had any respect for yourself at all you never would have been in that car alone with Cain in the first place. I'm sorry but I just see this lady as I do any other slime ball politician who is full of lives, deceit and looking for ways to recieve a windfall of cash so they can experience a slice of heaven on earth.

I have not seen the other three "victims" so for now I don't have any comments about them. I'm not saying I'm in support of Cain one way or another...I just find it to be ridiculous the amount of accusations that come out of the word work on anyone who's running for any office of any kind, anywhere. I ain't no saint and niether are you or you or you or Cain, or Bush or Clinton or Nobama or anyone else...let's just stick to poiliticking and leave the man's personal happening years ago at rest.

I have nothing to base it on but my gut feeling....but I think Herman did it.

I could look past it if he'd own up to it, come out and say that he did it. People make mistakes. Men (and women) do stupid crap sometimes. I'm sure some Democrats aided in the "discovery" process on this deal. But the fact of the matter is that whether he did it or he didn't do it, the court of public opinion is associating Herman Cain with a touchy feely sexual harasser. He has seemed a little confused, side-stepping, and wishy-washy when pressed on the issue thus far, IMO. I'm not sure he can survive the press on this deal.

It's all going to lead to Romney as a front-runner, which will lead to 4-more years for Barry the Magnificent, I'm afraid.

As for the woman not "putting herself in a position" to be harassed...okay, fair enough...but I don't really think that's relevant to whether he did it or not. I have dinner with women now and then for business purposes...that is common in today's world...but I have the integrity as a professional (not to mention a married man) not to try to feel them up, take them to hotels, upgrade their rooms to suites, or shoot for sexual favors. I sleep pretty good at night on account, without a clear conscience and a wife that can trust me. Either you IS or you AINT a slimeball, and right or wrong, Herman has an image problem in that department right now.

What makes me still doubt the validity of these accusers is the way its being put out there and the timing. I also cannot believe Who pops their head up on this none other than Gloria Allred....geez does this bad nightmare get any worse? She is an ambulance chaser and seems to fit right in when someone is trying to make a name for themselves at the cost of a rich, famous or well established professional person.
I'm stubborn to the core and this whole thing stinks. I mean you can roll this turd in sugar and package it in fancy pretty little sounds bites but in the end it's a turd.
No doubt perception is a lot these days and he is taking a hit in that department. I still hope he comes out ok and gets this past him. There are still many months before the decision is made on who represents the GOP so put this crap to bed (pun intended) and get back to what he might do to help this country get on the right track. These distractions are great for who? Oh yeah.....obamy that's who because now we have little coverage of the failing economy or the failed policies or the trillions/billions spent and promises he made that didn't work out....all we hear about is Cain and he isn't anything but a man running for an opportunity to lead.

Not for or against the guy either...But why would you make (2) out of court settlements for these accusations if they did not happen..

I tell ya, if I was ever accused of this type of thing and I didn't do anything wrong...I would go down swinging and spend my last penny to clear my name of such an accusation by a woman......

[Chubminnow]

I guess it don't bother me if he did it or not, if he did do it does it make him any better or worse of a presidential candidate? I don't know if it does or not, I thiought Clinton did a pretty good job. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't President Kennedy known for having a fondness for the female physique? The media just wears me out. I read Sarah Palin's book and while doing so it dawned on me just how influential the media is when it comes to trying to sell certain politicians on the voters.

I agree with Splitshot....all this negative attention toward Cain is taking Nobama and everyone else out of the spot light...and I pray like hell that it doesn't lead to four more years of Noabama.

Businesses do it all the time. Their liability insurance company looks at the case, determines what it would likely cost in court to prove your innocence, then compares that cost to an out of court settlement.

I know of several cases where lawyers have told the accused that they can definitely prove their innocence, but it ends up cheaper in the long run to just settle. Businesses and insurance companies don't necessarily operate on principle...they operate on the dollar...

It does not surprise me at all that Cain would have settled out of court, even though he maintained that he was innocent.

There is something about incidents like this that always bothers me. Why is it that ONLY wealthy men have sexual harassment charges levied against them? I never hear of a man without money being accused of such things. It makes me think that there are some females willing to take high risks in order to get her hands on easy money.

I don't know if Cain is guilty or innocent but I do believe that the news media will choose a particular politician to support and then spend the rest of the campaign trying to destroy the reputation of all the others. They have the means to play dirty and that's what they do best.

My ,02 worth thinks the democratic party is paying these women off somehow. With this latest bimbo to come forward she says she was not paid to come forward, nor was she promised any employment. Nothing at all, that she's only doing it because it's the "right thing to do."

During a Monday press conference in New York, Bialek said that during a 1997 encounter Cain had wanted her to trade sex for a job. Herman Cain's communication director J.D. Gordon said in a statement late Monday that Cain's opponents were behind Bialek's public accusations, noting her representation by high-profile attorney and Democratic supporter Gloria Allred.

Supposedly this woman has a long history of severe financial difficulties, including personal bankruptcy, to accuse Cain of events allegedly occurring well over a decade ago for which there is no record, nor even a complaint filed.

It's also noteworthy that the Bimbo's lawyer, Gloria Allred, is a celebrity lawyer who specializes in generating publicity for herself and her clients.

Hmmmmm.....just like any other political soap opera, we'll never know the truth.

I heard on the radio that this woman consulted her 13 year old son before she went public. He said it was the right thing to do....to tell on Cain. Really? She should have kept that part to herself like the so called indescrection from over a decade ago.
I'm just saying...

I heard a news reporter saw their meeting a month ago and said it was nothing like the accuser said it was. I think there may have been something there but it was not harrasment, I think someone is looking to get paid.

Hahaha the local radio show with Kruser played the womans description of what happened with Cain (you prolly heard it by now as she described Cain grabbing her head and stuff) and in the background they played "Lets get it on" from marvin Gaye. It was funny..Hahahaha Gotta laugh at some of this stuff.
