Herman Cain accused by SEVERAL women of inappropriate behavior

[JohnOfSheffield]

Looks like someone might been caught with their hand in the cookie jar??

The new finding might give Perry a boost

The man is an idiot plain and simple, this is one of the reasons why anyone SHOULD vote for him.

He has described his economic politics... the man is a fucking loon.

Going to wait for the details to pass judgement, as the accusations are quite vague. It is obvious that he did not do a pelvic thrust or air hump the women, as they said it was not overtly sexual.

If this turns out to be him asking a woman up to his room and calling it quits (ie drops further pursuit) after getting shot down, this is setting a bad precedent for sexual harassment claims, not that I'd be surprised. If he continued to harass her after getting shot down, obviously there is cause for concern.

Saying things about a black man is just racism.

Lying that all attacks against racism are baseless is racism.

 

[Craig234]

This story rings true as very likely accurate. Everything in Cain's response suggests guilt.

The question is whether his corrupt supporters will turn a blind eye as with others.

I actually don't consider the story to be a show-stopper to his electability. His policies, his corruption and sponsorhip by the Koch brothers are that.

But that's in spite of the wrongdoing, not as corrupt supporters will do and falsely deny it.

Is it conceivable that the Cain campaign teased a spurious tale of sexual harassment accusations to enhance the candidate's standing among Conservatives with echoes of Clarence Thomas?

"Hey baby - you wanna come up to my room and raise a little Cain?""​

I laughed. That's the best one so far.


I wonder it the Left or the Right is behind it. Could be either.

"If I said you had a beautiful body would you hold it against me - and then have sex?"​

Herman Cain is behind it. No pun intended.

Don't blame the people who expose him. No pun intended.

No, IMO. Clarence Thomas was a huge injustice, but the allegations didn't help him. By the way, his confirmation vote was the lowest in US history, with only 52 votes IIRC.

So, Cain claims that the people working below him settled this for 5 figures each?? Yet Cain claims that they proved there was no wrong doing? Yet Cain claims he didn't know about the settlement? Illogical that they would have settled then, and we'd have to be retarded to believe that his subordinates settled for 5 figures for each woman, AND that he had no clue that they settled this case about him.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

His campaign has completely mismanaged this yet again. He has shifted his position repeatedly on it even today. First he is adamantly denying any awareness of a settlement, then later admitting he did know of an "agreement." He comes off like a liar and/or a moron (my sense is he's both). It shocks me that the GOP's distaste for Mitt Romney is so strong that "Train Wreck" Cain continues to match or beat him in polling.

GOP, you have a real problem. The next President will either be the one you already hate (if you nominate Cain, Perry, Bachmann, Paul or any of the also-rans), or a different one who happens to be a complete liar and whose politics you may like no better (if you nominate Romney).

I said early on in this campaign season that the election would likely end up like 2004, where a relatively unpopular President managed to knock out a thoroughly disagreeable challenger. I still think that could well happen - we shall see. If it does, it will be an undeniable statement about the dysfunction in the GOP, which SHOULD be able to win the election given this economy and this President's poll numbers.

Actually if you read the full article, there is an allegation that he came on to one woman and invited her up to his hotel room. I have no idea of the veracity of any of these allegations and have no skin in this game. I'm just pointing out what the article says in case people aren't reading the whole thing.

What guy hasn't asked a woman to come back to his Room, Apt, House etc... It would be a different story had he forced her back to his room.

A lot to do about nothing IMO.

 

[cubby1223]

So, basically, this "scandal" boils down to ultra-partisan-liberal "progressives" will now *not* be voting for Cain.

Message received loud and clear!

 

[RampantAndroid]

again 20 years ago, and so what what if he ASKED a woman to go up to his hotel room. she said no and didnt go end of story.

from what i have read this is just a bullshit story. the man didnt do anything wrong or illegal.

Shhh, you're trying to reason with Ausm. You'll have better luck hitting on a brick wall. :sneaky:

Seriously, read thread title. Response "Oh joy. But hey, Clinton was an angel and it didn't matter"
See thread author. Response "Oh, he's busy having a seizure because he can post more bad things. Here we go again."

Give me a break. I don't care what happened 20 years ago. I don't care about affairs. CAN YOU RUN COUNTRY? IF YES, I VOTE YES. If you want to bone someone while doing it, that's your business.

There are so many examples of why this guy won't be president. The election hasn't even started and already he's completely un-electable. Some people don't realize that yet, though. Just cut him loose already, his campaign was done even before this.

A lot of you people must be at least temporarily delusional if you genuinely think Cain asked two women to his room, they said no, and that was that and yet he settled or people representing him settled. Come on, use your fvcking heads, people. Have some dignity.

I said early on in this campaign season that the election would likely end up like 2004, where a relatively unpopular President managed to knock out a thoroughly disagreeable challenger.

You're completely correct. This is the GOP's election to lose and by God they seem to be trying their hardest.

 

[Double Trouble]

He was unelectable before, and he's certainly unelectable now, even though there has been no actual evidence of any wrongdoing at this point.

CAIN TOPS PERRY -- IN TEXAS...

Sorry, but that headline leads my mind right to the gutter.

Neither Cain being a pitcher nor Perry being a catcher surprises me, though.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

What I find bizarre about this is that his campaign is so poorly organized that they didn't have a plan in place to deal with this if and when it was revealed. Before he even announced his candidacy, someone (Mark Block?) should have sat down with him and said, we need to know EVERYTHING potentially revealing in your past, and have a preplanned strategy for dealing with it. Cain's campaign seems completely dysfunctional.

I find it funny (if unsurprising) that the GOP pundits are already calling this another "high-tech lynching." Does anyone seriously believe that if Mitt Romney's company had paid off two women who had accused him of sexual harassment, it wouldn't be considered newsworthy?

Mitt has been the Republicans man since day one. These other sideshows are just there to reaffirm Mitt. Bachmann, Perry, Cain. These three clowns make Mitt look like a polished well oiled machine to sell to the electorate.
