Subscribe to RSSNBC's David Gregory and Chuck Todd discuss the impact the extra-marital affair claims against GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain will have on Cain's campaign and the overall Republican field.
A new woman alleged a 13-year-long affair with Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain on Monday, prompting the former Godfather's Pizza CEO to issue fresh denials of any wrongdoing.
Cain sought to offer a pre-buttal to an Atlanta FOX affiliate's report featuring a woman who alleges she maintained an affair with Cain.
Cain offered no specific rebuttals to any of the forthcoming claims, explaining that he would not respond to allegations before the report had aired them. But he did acknowledge a relationship with the new woman, whom he called an "acquaintance" that he had tried to help.
"We will address these when they come out. At this point, I just want to give you a heads-up, I don't have anything to hide," Cain said on CNN.
Ginger White, an Atlanta woman, told FOX affiliate WAGA that she engaged in a 13-year-long affair with Cain, which she said ended only months ago.
The woman is just the latest accuser of Cain, whose once-promising White House bid has been weighed down by a series of women to have come forward and accused him of sexual misconduct; other women have accused Cain of harassment, not an affair. Some of the women have made the claims publicly, while others' identities have not been made public.
Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain has denied having a 13-year affair with Ginger White, an Atlanta businesswoman who claims an intermittent relationship with Cain that ended a few months ago. NBC's Lisa Myers reports.
Still, Cain lumped the forthcoming allegation with the previous ones, which he has steadfastly denied and called "baseless." When asked specifically if he had an affair with this latest accuser, Cain replied: "No, it was not."
Cain's attorney responded to the FOX affiliate in more evasive terms: "This appears to be an accusation of private, alleged consensual conduct between adults - a subject matter which is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public. No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life," attorney Lin Wood said.
The businessman's campaign had blamed a variety of opponents -- from fellow Republican contenders, to Democrats -- for the trickle of accusers, and Cain himself indicated Monday that he thought the latest allegation stemmed from someone who wished to slow his campaign.
"What this says is that somebody's awfully afraid that I'm doing too well in this Republican nomination, to continue to dig up these stories to put a cloud and a damper on my campaign," he said without accusing a campaign or person specifically.
A woman has gone public with what she says was a 13-year consensual affair with presidential hopeful Herman Cain. But Cain is denying the story. NBC's Lisa Myers reports.
Cain also emphasized that he continued to carry on with his campaign, though he acknowledged for the first time that, if the media scrutiny of his personal life takes too large of a toll on his family, he might drop his White House bid.
"I'm not going to allow this sort of thing to cause me to drop out simply because it's tough on me," he said. "I don't want it to be tough on my family, and there comes a point where, if it's tough on my family, I have to consider that at that particular point and time."
When asked specifically about whether that would mean he could drop out, Cain said: "I'll make that decision dependent on the circumstances of how it's impacting my wife and my family."

Pre-Buttal (def): The need for a campaign to enter hyper-spin mode.
Except, of course, his pepperoni!
Hermie's sentence is WRONG on so many levels... lol
Cain, I say again. Why are you still here?
.
Too many accusations. If this is not true, and if someone wants him out that badly, there must be a reason we are not aware of. 13 years is a long affair. Think we should lose this guy,
"Cain, whose once-promising White House bid"
Sure it was!
Well, there goes Newt's brief leap in the polls. No doubt, Cain will now surge ahead. He has out-adultered the Newt. Those conservatives love their morally bankrupt candidates.
Another day, another Cain sexual indiscretion. Meanwhile Cain is busily trying to funnel the millions in campaign contributions to his private "Princess" account... lol
Just check out how much he's spent compared to the other "serious" candidates..
A new terminology was born: " Pledge a CAIN".
" I'll give you a heads-up: I will be accused of something , but it's a lie".
Deny it all, and blame it on: " they know I'll win, and trying to derail me"
13 year affair..WOW I imagine the wife (if she did not know)
If this keeps going, he is going to have more accusers than the non-registered sex offender, Bill Clinton. It is probably time for both of them to get away from politics.
Apparently Cain tries to help a lot of women...out of their clothes. What a scumbag. By the way UnitedStates1776, the answer to your question is, of course, MONEY. But I think you know that.
Does anyone really suppose she doesn't have some tangible proof of a 13-year liaison?
Phone records, e-mail, a trinket or two?
Wait for it.
I love it. The Obama camp makes this crap up, the media toadies spread it over the mushroom patch, and all of the obedient mushrooms then post their predictable attack comments...which are, of course, all very clever and witty.
Give it up guys, Cain is finished - and he did it by himself with his obvious ignorance of world affairs. Your trite, predictable, juvenile attacks had nothing to do with it.
It has been fun, but it is over Hermie.
U R done. Get over it and quit.
The truth came out and your goose is cooked.
You lost, next time remember even though the TeaNuts loved ya, the normal
people in America want no part of your dumb ass.
BYE BYE.
2012 is going to be a sh!t show. Can't wait!
Unless their gay or democrat, who cares?
Translation: Let me see what evidence she has first and then I'll come up with appropriate lies and denials to cover my arse.
Here I thought it already was... ;o)
You mean it's going to get better?
You're right - I can't wait!
*popcorn*?
Take it to the bank, folks. Cain's lawyer is now claiming that consensual sexual affairs are not a proper matter for inquiry, and it's nobody's business.
Well, it might not be if he hadn't denied it.
And I guess he only means heterosexual consensual affairs. He seems to have some problems with homosexual affairs.
Hypocrite.
Now the scum bag worries about his wifes' feelings.
spider-737231
Maybe, maybe not. But they are fun. And fun that doesn't require a great deal of effort. Though I will admit it does make for a moment of pause when you see the guy you were going to shoot has shot himself..
By the way, nice juvenile attack. Which media toadie or obedient mushroom did you steal it from? I thought conservatives were above such hyperbole, what with the moral high road, and what-not? BTW, it is predictable that if you are a public figure and a scum-bag, and a hypocrite, you will eventually get caught.
spider: "The Obama camp makes this crap up." Like the daytime talk show producer says: you can't make this up, its too good. Cain giving a pre-butle (through his attorney, no less) that anything associated with a person's private sexual life is off limits.
Well, there goes the book sales. He's got
sixfive weeks 'til Iowa, then he and most of the other clowns will be gone. I expect Huntsman to drop after losing New Hampshire. By the time Florida rolls around, I expect the race to be down to Romney, Ron Paul and (representing the truly crazy part of the GOP) Bachman and Santorum.Newt may have some popularity now, but he's got too much baggage on both the personal (nothing says love like divorcing your 2nd wife while she's in the hospital for cancer) and political sides (fannie mae $$$, ethics violations.) The GOP establishment really doesn't want another Nixon.
The Obama camp makes this stuff up? Wow Spider/random numbers- Get some professional help!
I thought he is done, why keep recycling old news?... the other 20 ladies have yet to come out; they are still duck-taped somewhere...
The Teapubs are not gonna win this election, period.
"Meat Nomney" is not going anywhere....so is Newty....they are just recycled garbage from the right...
"The Obama camp makes this crap up"
Some credible sources for that assertion please.
I just heard the woman say he phoned and texted her for the past two years. I suspect there will be records of this.
It's not the affair, folks.
It's the holier-than-thou attitude of conservatives, coupled with the lies.
And before you say it doesn't matter, just remember what you all said when liberals said a little lie about sex (Bill Clinton's) wasn't that important.
Wonder if he realized he had no chance of becoming the nominee (or made enough money on his book tour) and talked a friend into coming forward with a story so compelling he just has to 'get out of the race' to protect his wife and family?
If that happens, does he get to keep any left-over campaign monies for his own use?
He's not. What you are seeing is an after-image.
Boy, step away from FR to make peanut butter brownies, and Hermie's in a new scandal. Can't wait to see what happens when I make my cheesecake!
"I love it. The Obama camp makes this crap up"
Spider - Do you have anything to base this statement on? Cain's already out of it. Come on, anything? If you're going to pull things out of your posterior, I would rather you keep them to yourself.
I'm sorry, but did a Republican spokesperson really say this? Does a Republican candidate actually believe this?
This is the same party that fought and argued for the right to question the "private sexual life" of military men. This is the same party that questions your "private sexual life" in determining marriage legislation. This is the same party who constantly calls people barbarians or abominations, based on their "private sexual life".
But NOW they are saying that "No individual... should be questioned about his or her private sexual life."
Would you describe this behavior as blatant hypocrisy or simple lunacy?
Herman Cain should grant America a Favor - and quickly bow out of the presidential candidates' race. As he continues to stay in the race, we only learn more unpleasant "situations" about Cain.
I truly wonder what he is saying to his wife...
...truly, his wife deserves our greatest sympathies.
IndieParty -- You KNOW why they're saying that.
It's the last defense they have left. She's got texts.
Hopefully, his wife will meet him at the door with a big smile and a cast iron skillet!
@ IndieParty:
And let's not forget the Bill Clinton "Whitewater" scandal that becaqme 6 years of cigars and Monica Lewinsky.
The GOP is just a bunch of petty hypocrites. Whatever scandals they commit, they want to remain hidden, whatever scandals other people have they want to examine in minute detail.
It was not an affair with Cain. It was a couple (1,748) one night stands.
13 year affair...that is a long time. I Imagine photos, e-mails, text, vacations details etc..will come out. two possibilities:
OR a more sinister situation than what we think..
watch out for " the big helper sperminator Cane"
Since I got into this story late, the hubby wants to know if she was a blonde? Don't know what difference that makes, but, he wants to bet a week's worth of kitchen clean up she was.
Boy, he sure helped out a lot of women back in the day...what a guy!
"Cain's attorney responded to the FOX affiliate in more evasive terms: "This appears to be an accusation of private, alleged consensual conduct between adults - a subject matter which is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public. No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life," attorney Lin Wood said."
Hummmm....wonder why that defense didn't work for Bill Clinton????
Hand him the sponge - you WON! lol
Alabama, technically those campaign funds (PACs) are supposed to be used for the campaign only.
However, Sara Palin recently demonstrated how they get around this. You simply assign family members "jobs" in your campaign, and pay them whatever you want. So if a family member ever opened a letter addressed to the campaign, they are now a "campaign worker". I believe Sara's parents made a couple thousand for "mail-related" work.
This is why I will never donate to any PAC.
Alright!!!! And it's gonna be a busy week. Lots of baking to do! Feisty, I shall send you a piece of my chocolate turtle cheesecake!
In his previous life, he was known as Pimp Daddy Cain.

lol
And she was the aggressor 1,748 times.
If only he could remember it.
Actually, she is NOT blonde.
Herman Cain is nothing if not an equal opportunity opportunist. ;-)
Normally, at this point I would have long since said "stick a fork in him, he's done." However, since Cain is a pizza guy, maybe it is time to take this one out of the oven and cut it into slices.
Cain: "As president I will f&*k as many woman as I want. It is non of your business if it is consensual sex. So sais my dime store attorney, Lin Wood. He looks great in a business suit doesn't he? Glad Sandusky and Fine are out of the game. I am not a security risk by allowing myself to be lead by my sexual desires."
Nine. Nine. Nine. :)
Don't know if I'm right or not but the article said it was a 13-year old affair not a 13 year affair.
"We will address these when they come out."
So I guess there's another? Or three?
Those who take their daily shot at the Obama camp for this are fools. Do you think for one moment the republicans want to run a black man against another black man? Half of the south would stay home. If anything the Democrats would be pushing for Cain to get the nomination to dull the racist vote.
Every person who is serious about running for office should realize by now their past is part of the vetting and when you do that you stir the pot and almost always like making stock the crap floats to the top and has to be skimmed off. These allegations are just the fruit from his vetting. Or maybe in his case the nuts. Cain commited political suicide on his own and why waste ammo on a person who is no longer a threat.
Please supply the phone records too so we can get rid of this "they're framin Hermie" crap once and for all!!!!!!!!
Late breaking --- NBC just ran the release by Cain's lawyer. It was a consentual private relationship. So Cain is now admitting that it happened, but that the woman wanted it. So he lied to Wolf Blitzer earlier today. HA HA HA.
I wonder how the ultra right wing will now feel - he admits to a 'consentual' affair with his employee. Is it OK to screw around if it is 'consentual'? What about if (as the woman says) it is not consentual?
PLEEZE get real .. did anyone here ever think Cain had a shot??? Honestly ..even if he would have gotten the nomination there are no republicans in the tea party that would have voted for him.... Just let the guy sell some books ..that is all he really ever wanted..
No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life," attorney Lin Wood said.
---------------------------------
Looks like Bill Clinton had the wrong lawyer. What a hypocrite. It was ok for the rethugli-cons to go after Clinton but not ok for women to come out concerning Herman Cain. Only in the con's mind would this be true. Gotta love the Family Values Party.
Of course he would deny it. It is what he has become good at.......lyin' , and denyin'. He has years of practice.
What else would you expect out of this jizzbag?
"This appears to be an accusation of private, alleged consensual conduct between adults - a subject matter which is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public. No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life,"
Sounds like they know this one will be easily proven and now they want us to know Hermie is capable of consensual cheating on his wife as opposed to sex assault .. iow hermie's not all that bad, he's one of the boys just havin some fun.... lol
JoJo-362265
Don't know if I'm right or not but the article said it was a 13-year old affair not a 13 year affair.
Interesting observation JoJo. The caption under the photo says 13 year affair yet the first line in the story says 13 year old affair. Hum? Wonder which is correct?
Spidey,
Obama and the Dems would absolutely LOVE to be able to run against Herb..er, Herm Cain. Or Perry or Bachmann or Palin or Trump or Newt. Mittens is the only one that has any appeal with the undecideds. And the anti-Mitt enthusiasm gap will be filled by the GOpers-hate-Obama-more-than-life-itself enthusiasm hype. They'll hold their nose, but they'll vote against Obama. Anyone other than Mittens though and you'll be whining for another 4 years of GOP obstruction.
I think the real proof will come in how long his marriage lasts after he doesn't win, guarantee you she is only staying with him to save face.
Spider- there is no way on earth that the dems set this up. Cain is an ideal opponant. If this was set up ( and I doubt it was) it was the other reps.
Ten days or so until he drops out citing family obligations as the reason. The man clearly was not "ready for primetime." How could he not have realized that all of this would come to light? Running for POTUS is a singular endeavour that few could come away unscathed. If one is not squeaky clean or nearly so, why even bother? Betcha he wishes he was back running Godfather's.
"she is only staying with him to save face."
money probably, nice divorce settlement if it's the right state...
AND the bigger and more dramatic the scandal the more $$$ for:
talk show circuit
Magazines
book perhaps...... hey the wife is on the Cain Train!!!
Pre-Buttal (def): The need for a campaign to enter hyper-spin mode.
definition 2: What Herman was chasing before he ran for president.
6-9, 6-9, 6-9
I see the new KKK (read democrats) have become very active these days. Their latest lynching is Herman Cain! Where's the proof boys! Where's the proof?
Yeah SPIN it and blame Obama and the Dems.
This report is coming from Atlanta FOX afiliate(not MSNBC).
So now you are saying that FOX is in bed with Obama and "liberals"?
The BS just keeps getting thicker.
Regressive tea Party types demand fingerprints on the booties or spent rubbers as proof. Nothing else will suffice. It's the one area where they favor scientific certainty as long as it's a regressive Tea Baggin candidate............ lolololol
Leave it to Fisty Redhead to toss her 2 cents into the cauldron, along with her nasty sarcasm and off the wall commentary. I do believe she's looking for a job with MSNBC. Perhaps she can join Rachel. Or perhaps HBO is looking for a sidekick for that other jerk, Mahr... Jerks of a feather.... Nice job on the condemnation Fisty, and all you other devotees to trial by public opinion!
Feisty is god!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Cain is a Serial liar" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To: carrot top (aka feisty redwig)
You don't actually believe the sewage you spew at this site? Are you trying to impress those who provide free boiler makers for you... or do you just like to stir up liberal nonsense? My guess is you like to do both! lmaObama!
Very little was said about Weiner from the liberals.... He was proven to be a creep. All we have here is an accusation and the liberals have Caine tried, proven guilty and ready to hang. I'll bet it's because he's black. The liberals are nothing but a bunch of racist pigs... They won't admit it because they deny everything that sheds a negative light on their motives but this sure smacks of racism to me!
Leave it to Tony D to toss his bull@!$%# into the equation! lmao!
You
can notor will not defend what you have to choose from, so instead you feel it necessary to go to personal attacks...Bring it little man! ;o)))
P&J - when you manage to grow up - you will may be one day Feisty worthy! In the meantime, troll on little dude! You are always ggod for a chuckle or two! ;o)
Two bit Tony - tell your tale of woe to someone who gives a @!$%# will ya?
Love YOU Marlon, but make that a Goddess! ;o)
Brianb:
Weiner really didn't do anything illegal, nor outlandishly wrong.
If you believe like the lawyer for Cain does, it was nobody else's business if Weiner was sexting or not.
oh and Brian:
The "libs" aren't the one breaking this story. It's an Atlanta FOX news afiliate.
Try again.
The point being - liberals are going after Cain because he's black. Obama is only half black... but yet anything said about his agenda was constructed as racism. That was the game liberals were playing at the time... so what's good for the goose is good for the gander... How is this any different? Nothing is proven... accusations are not proof. I could accuse you of anything I like... doesn't mean it's true. What it boils down to is racism. It's only logical.
American Lobo - do you actually read these posts? What the F difference does it make who's breaking the story? It's the glomming on of the liberal element that activates the racism. How does it feel to be called a racist for no apparant reason? Cain is black... and liberals are accusing him without any provable warrant.
I love it!!! What a complete screw up. I didn't say a word 3 months ago when my ex sister in law (the well off very conservative lobbyist) said she really liked this guy and was about to help him in his campaign. I wonder how much money she gave him and is now being used to fund his flings and parties.....
Stick a fork in him. He's done.....
kath, it seems carrot top actually believes her propaganda.... what a joke!
keep up the good work, don't let the libtards get you down. Kudos to Cain for bearing up under the liberal machine!
Let's see a link to verifiable sources, that show "liberals" are the ones attacking Cain.
For all you know, the "attacks" could very well be from GOP campers.
No "lib" here.
When I see those accusing Obama of being Muslim, anti-American, not a citizen, elitist, "friends with terrorists" or Communist/Marxist/Socialist, it's not hard to ascertain that most of those accusations come from bigoted(and yes, some racist) sources.
It's not playing a "card" pointing out those who want Obama to fail so bad, that they are willing to repeat BS accusations against him.
Cain , on the other hand, has shown HIMSELF to be a bigot(ranting against Muslims).
People coming forward to accuse Cain, is not just hearsay. It's coming from SOURCES(supposed sources, I will grant you that).
Let me break it down for ya.
Faulty arguments against Obama(I like to call them 2+2=5 , twisted math):
Obama is "best friends with terrorists" because he's had business contact and is on friendly terms with Bill Ayers. BS assumptions by haters.
Obama is Muslim because his father was, and because Obama shows common courtesy to other religions besides Christianity. More BS from haters.
Obama is anti American because he didn't always were a flag pin, and admitted to the world that the US has been wrong, in past foreign policy decisions. More rhetoric and opinion.
Obama is a "lefty" because he's read literature by "leftist" authors. Obama is actually more centered than most Dems or Reps. Just because he's to the left of far right wing theocracists, doesn't make him a "lefty". Obama has leaned right of center a few times(and the GOP still gave him flak for it).
Obama vacations too much. More BS. Compare past POTUS's rec time, and you will see he isn't on rec time anymore than they've been.
It's BS accusations like those, that leave logical people with the conclusion that it's coming from bigots, ignorant fools, or both.
Arguments against Cain(that show 2+2=4, correct math).
At least 4 different sources are accusing Cain of sexual harrassment(2 were paid off by the NRA, to keep from going to court). It can't be proven, but where there is smoke......
A woman is claiming Cain had a affair with her off and on for 13 years. Details haven't been released yet, but Cain and his lawyer aren't denying them(like they were the other accusations).
Cain has said he wouldn't trust or hire anyone that is Muslim(out of his own mouth). That shows he is a bigot himself.
Cain has played the "they are attacking me because I'm black" card himself.
Obama never said he was attacked because of his race(He's half white, but he looks black), in the face of all negative and false accusations made against him.
See the difference?
Brianb liberals did not accuse him, a lady stepped forward and said they had an affair, that makes her the accuser, his lawyer said his private sex life was off limits, that sure does not sound like a denial. The lady said she had a 13 year long affair that just ended months ago, and Cain says he does in fact know her, but was trying to help her, so again pretty weak denial. I am not accusing him, I am judging him, I find him guilty, in the courtroom of public opinion. I wish he would get the nomination, he is quite a bit of fun to watch, and by the way nobody ever brings up his race but him. I think you are just having a little fun tonight stirring the pot so I thought I would oblige, hell I like to that myself once in awhile. BTW I checked my crappy spelling twice, how did I do?
The liberal attack machine is going after Cain because he's black. This goes to show you how racist the liberals are. If he were white, they'd leave him alone. Look at all the other white candidates... no accusations of philandering... only Cain. They are coming down hardest on Cain... Their hatred is showing through... Yep... racism through and through.
Awwww shucks Forrest... don't blow my cover. You know I am being absurd on purpose. Kinda like sticking it in the face of all those people that accused conservatives of being racist when it was about Obama. I'd say something about his agenda... and the first thing I knew, I was being accused of being racist even thought my comments had nothing to do with race.
It's not only the liberals that can have fun on these boards... I am just as apt to not only stir the pot, but to bring the pot to boiling. Just like you, I get a kick out of people's reactions.
Many times I have to leave the boards but before I do, I'll toss out a very contrarian comment... when I come back later... I get a kick out of the collapses, or the reactions. You know the feeling... and just like you, I never take these boards seriously. They are an outlet more than anything.
How ya been? Hope your Thanksgiving was very nice.
A 13 year long affair? Hell that is not an affair that is polygamy
Forrest - just so you get supper straight from super. LOL! I'll bet nobody has ever invited you to super. hehehehe
Herman Cain has been using his status as "CEO" of the NRA to attract and have white women.
What so sham of a man!
I had a great Thanksgiving, I was reminded of just how much I have to be thankful for, I hope yours was as good. I stir the pot at times, and sometimes I am dead serious, I now try to make it fairly obvious which is which, as sometimes people did not always pick up on my sarcasm, a special sarcasm font would be helpful sometimes.
His attorney Lin Wood said, "No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life," attorney Lin Wood said. The republicans sure weren't saying this during Pres Clinton's term.
Cain will not win the primary because the Republicans do not want an African American as their candidate. I wouldn't be surprised if the Republicans dug up the sex scandal dirt in the first place. And why aren't they talking about all Newt G's affairs.
Words in all caps SOMETIMES helps to excentuate how you mean things to sound. If people read the individual words and place the proper emphasis on the words in all caps, you can manipulate the point as being a jest. I use several graphic connotations in how I want it to be read... a trailing thought can be ended by using three periods... Golly! I learned that in English 101... LOL! A double colon can be used to emphasize sounds like ::Thud:: Then there's the all important parenthesis... (to separate a thought within a thought).
Just tidbits of thought to use in ensuring the meaning you are trying to convey is taken as intended... but then there's always the failsafe... just say it and wait for the reactions... LOL.
I had a wonderful Thanksgiving... Except for the drive back from West Palm. I got caught in slinky traffic between Orlando and Ocala FL. I lost 3 hours on my way back to Montgomery in that 50 mile stretch. It was more stop than go. I will have to attest that a lot of people drove this holiday.
Whoever the Republican party nominates is not the business of the Democrats at all. It is between the conservatives and the republicans, whom they feel will stand the best chance against Obama.
If you want to talk about Cain, go ahead. We all know you liberals become racists, when the candidates are running for the opposite side. When Bill Clinton was accused by Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky, you liberals did nothing. For you to show that you somehow care about women's rights now is complete garbage. It did not affect you one bit, that the President of the United States was having an affair in the Oval Office. I don't know why you think it should affect you now. Or perhaps, you liberals are just used to it?
You lose...again.
American Lobo. In your long list of what Obama isn't and what Cain is, you assume that the two sets of rules can't be crossed over. Obviously you have taken the time to list out the items that are against Obama as viewed by the right, but at the same time you say "where there's smoke there's fire" when it comes to Cain. How come the same analogy can't be applied to Obama? Where there's smoke there's fire... In Obama's case, there's lots of smoke. Obama may have you fooled that he's just left of center but he doesn't fool me.
According to Clower and Pivins - two professors at Columbia University where Obama studied, the Marxist plan to take down a nation involves destroying their economy. The best way to destroy it is to greatly increase the debt to currency levels. In a mere 3 years, this nation's debt has risen $5 Trillion dollars under Obama's watchful eye. When he started his term we held $10 Trillion in debt. Today it's $15 Trillion. He's increased the debt by one third. Our GDP is less than the debt. Our currency reserve is right at the debt level. It won't take much to bring us to bankruptcy... That, my friend are the facts. When I insinuate that Obama is a Marxist, it's the outlying facts that support my view. The outlying facts are our economy and how it's being systematically weakened and destroyed. Obama is the executive in charge of this nation's welfare. Under his hand we are heading to the brink of the falls. This is why I can't understand how come liberals support him so much when the evidence is all around how much damage he's doing to this country.
Some of the posts on here are cracking me up tonight!
How can Herman Cain not be looked at as anything but late-night fodder? I can't wait to see what Jon Stewart and SNL do with this...haha.
For those throwing out the race card: I personally don't give a rat's a$$ that he's black. I give a rat's ass that he's a tool and totally unfit to run this country! And to compare a 13 year (or 13 day) affair to what amounts to a "reply all" error made by Weiner is ludacris...sorry. Not saying Weiner didn't have a lapse in judgement, but c'mon! Hello, apples to oranges!
You'd think, given how much Cain likes to "help" people, that he'd be more supportive of working class Americans and the safety nets. Or that he'd be a supporter of gay rights, if the sex lives of two consenting adults is no one else's business...right? Or is that just my liberal-leaning mind going all twirly again? Silly me. Must be MSNBC and Feisty polluting my mind again! ;)
My heart goes out to his wife and kids. They don't deserve this.
@ brianb:The current taking us toward the falls isn't the President. It's the republicans. Suggest you read another page.
You are gonna share those with your FR pals, right?
Brianb,
"Obama is the executive in charge of this nation's welfare."
This is true. What he is not in charge of is the nations budget.
YAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These statements seem authentic and sincere, to me, because female business associates and family members said almost the same things in my presence a few weeks back when the sexual harassment allegations came to light in the media.
Women don't approve of other women being demonized and called "liars" for complaining about sexually inappropriate behavior by men. I suspect the reason is, most adult women must contend with such behavior at some time in their lives, and are consequently all too painfully aware of how the behavior affects their emotional selves.
Men seriously need to get a clue.
Well....it is whitey you shal get then my liberal friends....
PS....You stupid mother @!$%#ers!!!!
Cain should have just been content to be rich, powerful and womanizing.....it would appear he had more fun when it was more of a secret...
guess he will have to change his game a bit.........
wonder if his wife will survive the public humiliation....
the republicans really scraped the bottom of the bowl for this election..except for John Huntsman..who of course won't get much backing because he actually thinks UNASSISTED by the Carl Rove's of the world....republicans don't really like thinking politicians..just yes men.
See ya Cain.............don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Well my daddy always said careful son, a rumor will kill ya faster then lightning, but a lie? Your dead before you even get started. Regardless of how true this all is, Cain needs to just hang it up now.
I am just really curious which one of the other candidates leaked all this stuff.
As to his lawyers statements:
I mean what job do they think he is running for ?????
But your blacks are so much better than our blacks ... lol
"A 13 year long affair? Hell that is not an affair that is polygamy"
Hermie playing the Mormon card? ... lol
In response to AM's assertion that all conservatives had out the tar and feathers over Clinton's brush with infamy-
Go back into my archives and read what I had to say about Edwards.
Spider, above, contends that this came from the Obama camp- and is asked for proof. While there is no proof at the moment that this garbage comes from Chicago, one would have to be deliberately obtuse not to see the immediate correlation to what was done to two of Obama's opponents during races against him. Mysteriously, twice, sealed divorce records became public knowledge.
Obama has already proved that there is nothing to which he will not stoop- he lied about his own dying mother- so, yes, my suspicion is that his campaign is behind this garbage.
And the media, which has abdicated any semblance of professional ethics, ( to the point, on this board, of denying such exists), have become uninterested in investigative reporting, and turned, instead, into Nosy Parkers.
Laughably, on this board, we are told by the writers that they have no interest in the "scandal du jour". Obviously, that means they have no desire to report on the misappropriation of taxpayer dollars, thereby giving Obama a pass on his Dollars to Donors program, but are quite gleeful at opportunity to write salacious stories about any opponent at whom Chicago directs them.
Well, Obama promised a negative campaign. This is what we have to look forward to for the next year.
Brianb - what carrot top isn't revealing is that she was a big supporter of Weiner right up until he resigned in that now famous press conference. But she is voicing the loudest faux 'outrage' against the black republican Cain. More liberal based bias! I guess 'liberal bias' is a redundancy!
Now we know why, the republican party was begging for Christie to run for the nomination. This present group of candidates are absolutely pathetic.
Christie would undergone serious scrutiny of his weight, not his women (AFAIK)...
Steve, you're just feeding carrot top's ego.... she loves being recognized for what she is.... Just like when she's trolling Roselle truck stops for free boilermakers from grateful truck drivers, lol the only difference is she shows now bias at truck stops... she'll take a boilermaker from any guy, no matter what his political persuasions are.... :)
Herman Cain is a liar. All of these allegations are true. His wife is an enabler, not in the sense of a "stand by your man woman," but in the sense of a wife of a wealthy man who has long ago made peace with his dalliances.
Cain has demonstrated on many levels that he is out of touch with reality. The fact that he would run for president with all of this in his closet is telling. With no consideration as to what it would od to his family, let alone his campaign, he continuse to plow on with incredible hubris.
This type of personality would be a disaster in the White House. Clinton was sexually impulsive, but he was also thoughtful and intelligent with regard to the conduct of his position. Cain appears to be impulsive, ego maniacal, and lacking in substance. His lack of regard for people in his domestic policy is reflected in his lack of regard for the "women" in his life.
I think that his wife has written him off and is enjoying the money despite her protestations to the contrary.
The thing that sold me was when the accuser who said that he grabbed her and physically indicated that he wanted her to engage in oral sex said that when she balked he said-"You want a job don't you?". That sounds so much like something he could say and it really resonated with me.
I'm not a fan of Cain, but I agree with his attorney, no person should be questioned about private, consensual sex between adults. Period.
Ah , they're already giving in to this and 'splainin it away as a private matter. oh the hypocrisy is thick and deep and man it smells bad!!
The "true" conservative posters on here are all playing to the egos of the LWNJs who post. There is no reasoning. There is no compromise. There is no discussion. So, if in fact those of you who are posting as conservatives -- and are actually not LWNJs shills posting to give the pretense of back and forth on here -- stop posting. Stop trying. Stop adding fuel to the fodder. Some of the conservative postings are so stupid, ignorant and ridiculous that the MSNBC shills have to be behind them. How many times do you want to set yourself up for insults after insults.
You also have to notice that for the most that 99% of the time the boards first three strings are controlled by LWNJs. Do you honestly think this is coincidence? All of a sudden new LWNJs monikers appear and are able to post before the string is even available for the public to post. Coincidence? Is it coincidence that each and every Friday Jody gets to post her week long skewed synopsis of events as the first poster on the second or third string -- followed by the circle jerk of "right on" Jody; the best ever; etc?
First Read/First Thoughts is a fraud perpetrated by MSNBC and hired shills. Connect the dots and as many have said on the Cain story -- where there's smoke there's fire.
If there are true conservative posters who want to set up a "counter" army to discuss each day strategies of what we will post and how we will support each other, my email address is available. The best way to approach might be to ignore the LWNJ liars and down right mean miserable persons on here and post what we want and watch the fun begin.
The lying high-tech lynching machine is at work here in these Cain attacks! They've done it before and they'll keep doing it because there are millions of hate-filled people in our country who will want to join in to foment more hate.
It's probably a good thing "Dirty Hermie" isn't a sailor! He apparently can't tell when his boat is sinking!
Save yourself any further embarrassment there Dirty Hermie and quit. Your past seems to be catching up with you faster than you can ATTEMPT to stomp it down with lies.
JK:
By those standards, Clinton and Weiner should never have been questioned about their "private lives/affairs".
Ben-636050

Ben-636050
That's it Ben, when your group puts up a group of candidates that came out of a Clown Car, just whine about the treatment they get. Make up a conspiracy.
There's no point in telling the truth now, Herman.
You have to wonder about all those women conspiring to shove his hand under their skirts all those years ago, just so they could ruin his poltical aspirations at some untold time in the future.
Life is so unfair.
JK-4363698 Considering the fact that he is married, his wife may disagree with this attorney. Also the American people really need to know about this man, if he is running for president. If his own wife isn't able to trust him, why should the American people.
You libs make me sick. Where were you when this was going on in the White House with a 19 year old? Yet you still worship tht guy and his spouse. Selective memory, or just change the facts to whatever you want them to be.
Well at least he wasn't poking cigars inside his female help in the Oval Office then smoking them later and bragging about like Clinton did....then lied under oath about the whole deal. What about that low life Vice Presidential candidate Edwards??? Screwing some girl while his wife is dying of cancer...knocking her up...Lying about it for along time…then illegally using campaign funds for his girlfriend and his new bastard child...Hmmm liberal hypocrisy at its best talking about Cain.
I don't understand why you people are still trying to support this guy. You no longer even try to defend him, except for "what about Clinton, Weiner, Edwards, etc". Truth is they are all dirtbags for their behavior, and they are on both sides of the aisle. There is no need to go back and forth with who is worse. So why not just admit that Cain is a dirtbag too. You still have a list of other candidates to support. What's funny is, while you are bashing Clinton (or whomever) for their deeds, you are also bashing Cain who has all but admitted this affair. And being a liar and a cheat does not necessarily make a bad president. Being a bad liar and cheat does make you a bad candidate. If, God forbid, Cain were the President, I for one would say to forget all this, we need to support him. But he is not.
Brian - "According to Clower and Pivins - two professors at Columbia University where Obama studied, the Marxist plan to take down a nation involves destroying their economy. The best way to destroy it is to greatly increase the debt to currency levels. In a mere 3 years, this nation's debt has risen $5 Trillion dollars under Obama's watchful eye. When he started his term we held $10 Trillion in debt. Today it's $15 Trillion. He's increased the debt by one third. Our GDP is less than the debt. Our currency reserve is right at the debt level. It won't take much to bring us to bankruptcy... That, my friend are the facts. When I insinuate that Obama is a Marxist, it's the outlying facts that support my view. The outlying facts are our economy and how it's being systematically weakened and destroyed."
So I never before heard that GWB is a Marxist. See, you should have posted that while he was in office so we would all have known the truth!
Cain - Of course I deny an affair. An affair implies consent.
I can't help but think of that great quote from Cleavon Little in Blazing Saddles, Herman Cain style - "Excuse me! Excuse me! Excuse me while I whip this out."
HA made my day!
In my youth Jan Smithers was the object of many a schoolboy fantasy and more than one good Act of Contrition. I always thought she was much better looking than Lonnie Anderson.
jkh
Jim, sorry, I look like Mother Carlson. Hirsh!!
ROFL! It would have been sooooo fitting for WKRP to break this story. Great show; loved Bailey. She was awesome.
If Herman drops out of the GOP scramble, there is a job for a pizza store manager available in my area. Well, it isn't high pay but its better than always covering his azz every time the phone rings.
Moderator: Do either of you have any admissions to make the the public tonight?
Obama: Nope. My birth certificate is on public display at 400 locations throughout America.
Cain: My salami has been on display to 400 different women throughout America but none of them were affairs. I sexually assaulted 176 of them and there was the matter of 1,748 one night stands. But no affairs. They're all liars.
@scrambolo
He really shouldn't start out as manager. He should sleep, er, work his way up!
The Cain candidacy now plays like a failed porno movie, but how much campaign money went down the drain while Herman kept his pants zipped long enough to flash his ego in the Presidential primaries? Can you say "campaign finance reform?"
Oh please. ME- ME!! I had a black "boss" once, when I worked for the first Wendys Burgers in Washington State!! Can I now get some money if I jump on this bandwagon claiming every black boss I ever had was Herman Cain?
Blazing Saddles! That's a good one.
Unless it's 1994, you're Newt Gingrich, and that individual is Bill Clinton.
Evangelical preacher, indeed. Who in their right mind would look twice at that for president of the U.S.? Even the voters of heavily black Georgia rejected this buffoon for a pedestrian state legislature job.
Sort of like Jesse Jackson(D) knocking up his office asssitant?
Well at least he wasn't poking cigars inside his female help in the Oval Office then smoking them later and bragging about like Clinton did....then lied under oath about the whole deal. What about that low life Vice Presidential candidate Edwards??? Screwing some girl while his wife is dying of cancer...knocking her up...Lying about it for along time…then illegally using campaign funds for his girlfriend and his new bastard child...Hmmm liberal hypocrisy at its best talking about Cain.
I loved Cleavon Little in that movie, I think that (at the time) it took courage and a lot of heart to play that role. Cleavon had just the right temperament to pull that role off and did a lot for this country by exposing racial stereotypes in society,
Ben, I'm so sorry the libs keep jumping in ahead of you after you obviously have been waiting patiently for so long to be the first to post. Come on libs, I know you guys are faster thinkers, but give Ben a chance. He's very anxious to be the first to post on this left wing liberal nut job website that he can't wait to read.
How many more has Herman been spermin?
This guy`s a role model!
I think you mean roll as in "roll in the hay" model.
A regular Tiger Woods. These women are crawling out of the woodwork. No body can make this up. Where is his wife ? la-la land for sure.....heeeee. At least Tiger came clean. This guy is a chronic liar.
Never knew a pizza parlor was a great pick up place but I guess it is....
I wonder if he was nailin Palin too.
Now we know that 3 am call for Herman Cain will be a Mistress!
This post shows how you how democrats are racist. You can't blame republicans anymore you hypocrites!
Herman seems to have enjoyed himself during his career. I wonder though, why this upsets so many republicans, while at the same time, these moralizing bastards love the hell out of Newtie. Newt Gingrich has involved himself in more such mischief than a lone satyr loose in a nunnery, yet, the conservatives love him as though he is the returning Christ. I haven't any use for either, but I am beginning to think those who fancy Newt over Herman are given to colored judgements.
Unhappy are you so old you talk like you type....DU..DU....DU.....Duh
Herman!
These claims are base, not baseless. There is a difference. Looks like your wandering tallywacker's goanna get you into big trouble and your pecker tracks only lead to political oblivion.
Mac,
Doesn't upset me, glad to see him go.....
one down six more to go.....
Well at least he wasn't poking cigars inside his female help in the Oval Office then smoking them later and bragging about like Clinton did....then lied under oath about the whole deal.

Come onnnnnn...You people are this gullible? Who is this guy? Shaft? Superfly....Give it a rest...Anyone with an ounce of brain can see right through all of this garbage.....
Yes, most people probably do see right through your post.
Whose garbage? His? Yep, we see right through it.
Sorry Hermie's not cool enough...
He reminds me more of Huggy Bear! ;o)
Feisty, don't you think the timing is just a little suspect in all of these allegations?
I don't know that I would vote for him, but apparently he has some people very afraid. Including the feisty redhead.
Herman and Trump are out to prove that yes, no matter how stupid or ugly you are, money IS an aphrodisiac...
Afraid?
Not hardly! lol
You could say I'm more disappointed than anything - I was SO hoping he would snag the nomination!
Papa,
The Democratic Party would donate millions to have him be the nominee. He would make Goldwaters 64 bid look like a barn burner.
jkh
Not afraid of him at all...more like shooting fish in a barrel with his obvious foolish history...like the press wouldn't find out? Every time a conservative is shown to be full of crap, the right claims the left is afraid of him/her. Who said.."me thinks you protest too much'eth" or something like that. Then again, it could be made up...look at how the Swift Boaters crapped on Kerry. I have a conservative buddy that served with Kerry in the Swift Boats and after that smear, votes Dem now...
papa: think about it: other than Newt, who would the d's HOPE would stay in the race?? He's a GIFT to Obama...why on earth would anyone on Obama's team want the guy to drop out?? It doesn't get any better than this...the Independents will run screaming from getting anywhere near the party that looks at these guys seriously. (let's see what evidence she presents of her 13 years with him...He's already admitting a 'relationship'...what the heck do you think that means?)
Hell, if I wasn't sure he was just going to retire from politics and keep his campaign money, I'd donate to the guy. He would be the GOP's Nader, given the chance. Almost a shame. I was looking forward to the debates.
Moderator:"Mr Cain, any comment on the continued allegations of sexual misconduct that have dogged your campaign?"
Cain:".....9-9-9......"
Moderator:"...Right. OK, then. Mr Obama..."
Obama:"Actually, I would like to yield my time to my opponent. This is too much fun."
I believe he is specifically who the President was referring to when he said his campaign adds would just air the Republican debates verbatim.
Papa,
You should look before you step out of the elevator. It's a loooonnnnnnggggg ways down.
NomNomNom,
That was pefect! The same response would apply to Rick Perry or Bachmann or Rick Sanctimonious, for that matter.
Conservatives! Please listen! You really, really need to understand that when the rest of us, like Feisty, crack jokes about your off-the-rails candidates -- we really are laughing!
Today's "base"-ready Republican is a hypocritical, under-educated, bad-mannered bozo who whimpers about Jesus while picking pockets with one hand and copping feels with the other. Sorry, your people are just ridiculous, and a couple of them are downright insane...
Be honest and raise your hands if you'd feel comfortable waking up in the middle of the night in a lonesome country house containing Michelle Bachmann, Rick Santorum, a loaded shotgun, and a bottle of Wild Turkey. Come to think of it, that actually is scary.
Uh Oh....is there a child from the result of this 13 year affair? Now that would be a really big Ooops! I can hear Mrs. Cain now....."brother fom another mother", my ass! Ouch!
Fiesty is wanting her some, after all she is the lead lib, first to post, she don't like it when someone leaves her out. "cigarette anyone"
@BobJ
I'm not quite sure what you said but I'm pretty sure it was none too bright. Another "Fail".
Speaking of wanting 'some'!
Booby Jones is a classic example of when someone is so desperate they spread mayo all over their balls and spread their legs anticipating the dogs arrival!
While he is sweating profusely in anticipation!
Feisty-you owe me a new keyboard! ROFLMAO! I was so enjoying this champagne, too!
A new meaning for sticky keys! Wonder what makes Booby Jones keyboard sticky? ;-)
To the idjit above : The only venue you would have heard about an idiot like Cain on before would have been Springer or something...Nobody else would care...Now he is running for POTUS and he has attracted the national media attention...So yes the timing is just right to show the kinds of candidates you hateful hipocrytes support......Do you get it now?
Melissa-1175724-1762238
I would go for the shotgun first....
Thanks SW, I was going to say the same. For all we know, these women were speaking out years ago. It's just that nobody heard of this guy before a few months ago so who would care? If one of these women went to the news with it at the time, do you really think it would have made national news? I am an independent, but I swear I just keep getting pushed further to the left all the time. Usually it's by the hypocrites in office, but it's also from the idiotic things I hear from their supporters. I know it goes on on both sides, but at least the left sounds intelligent (except for the name calling, I wish you guys wouldn't sink to that). It seems as if the only arguments I hear from the right, except for a select few, are "well he did it first" or "ok, we saw the birth certificate but where's the proof that it's real. Yet with Cain I hear "where's the proof these women are telling the truth? You can't see what's right in front of you. I think if you would just say "yeah this guys an idiot, let's support a different candidate" I would respect that a lot more than "well Clinton did it first"
Sounds like someone in the political scene is trying to take advantage of the allegations against him to further discredit him.
And before ya'll go Blame Obama crazy, don't forget there are other politicians out to get him- namely ones who are losing and competing for sponsorship money for the presidential ticket.
I doubt the allegation is true, but you never know.
You are truly Inadaze.... Now how bout sending Hermie some more money?? huh???
Seriously, if someone was making up an affair, do you really think they would make it a "13 year" affair and not have a shred of evidence to show for it?
As for whether or not I care about his extra-marital behavior, personally I don't. What I can't stand are people like him who try to be something they are not, and who would crucify others for the same behavior they are engaging in. Moral hypocrisy is a clear line for me...and that's where the Republicans always fail spectacularly. They just don't practice what they preach. Period.
Ok, so first the guy is so "dangerous" and "powerful" (in the low single digits in the polls mind you, with not even a viable campaign staff or any real money), the big bad "conspiracy" finds 3 women who, more than a decade ago, "faked" accusations against the boss and got payoffs to be quiet, just in CASE he ever ran for President ten years later? Now, the big bad conspiracy had found a woman who he "had a relationship with" to lie about a 13 year affair? That's one helluva conspiracy...poor guy. All this to what end? Anyone who likes the guy will just make excuses for him and say if someone lies, cheats and harrasses, gee, that's THEIR business...and those who are actually not confused about how this bafoon could even be considered seriously as any kind of a political leader have already long written him off. The D's would love this walking poster child for incompetence to be the Republican nominee. So who exactly is "out to get him"?? The actual sane people left in the Republican Party?? I don't think you have enough left.
Further discredit him?????/
Where do all these harlots gather to cast these disparaging and utterly false accusations against the next Republican President of the United States.
Oh yes... I bet George Soro's has something to do with it... lol
Ain't it strange.... Cain doesn't marry them... Newt gets rid of the old one and then marries the new one..... I guess it makes sense, somehow?
I can't wait until the big guns get warmed up on Newt. This is a guy who was so corrupt his own party threw him out of office and here he is pontificating and blowing smoke. The Dems are laying off him in the hopes he can get the nomination. He'd carry the hick states but he wouldn't carry any others. He's a dream candidate. For Obama.
not much. What woman would be in the sack with NG ? gag.....Is he rich ? campaign money maybe.....going to the jewelry store.....
Trophy wives have no pride for the most part. Hedge on the prenup grit you teeth and take it and wait for the creep to screw up so you can get to the good part. The divorce.....
If I were on a fire watch tower, I would presume Herman Cain to be a large out of control forest fire. So much smoke, there has got to be fire there.
Herman should go back to peddling pizzas instead of running for president. The American people prefer to be fooled about their presidents morals and so far Cain has already proved his case.
And Tiger Woods breathes another sigh of relief. ANOTHER ONE?!?! LMFAO!!!
Good one! HAAA!!!!
Ok scumbag, time to go away now. Thanks.
A woman named "Ginger White" had an affair with Cain? This gets better and better! Herman Cain is a train wreck .The man is not vetted properly, and clearly has a whole mansion full of closeted skeletons that impugn his personal character and qualifications for the job of president. The man ought to just go away. At least hire some professionals to deal with this mess. Herman is a total moron if these allegations are true. http://www.sunstateactivist.org
Sounds like a professional name doesn't it? Now appearing for one night only, Ginger White...
Why do I hear the them to Gilligans Island?
Cain's campaign is somewhat Gilligan-esque I would say
Ginger White....Tiger Lilly ? sounds like a stripper.
And this is the tale of our Castaways, here on the Republican Isle...ha!
In the spirit of the holiday season....we have a new discount on the isle of misfit toys.....oh, Hermie!
Have you noticed that all of the women have been "white wimmins". I bet Cain's wife feels like an IDIOT by now. No wonder she wants to hide. She's a black woman with no pride. She needs his money and she could care less how many "white wimmins" her old man has been screwing. This last accusation came from a "white woman" who knew he was married and knew the situation with him and still screwed him. Now Cain is going to deny it. What a damn joke. Cain looks more like "Homey the Clown" everyday.
I agree, she comes from the old school where the women just preteneded they did not know and feign ignorance when it goes public on them. Notice in her interviews she did not say that she believes he is innocent (She merely said that he would have to have a split personality). But the Homey the Clown comment is priceless (Can't wait till In Living Color is back on the tube).
Hermy the Clown....I don't think So (Bop)
Too funny
As Herman might say, "don't hate the playa, hate the game"...
@Kevin,
Newt doesn't marry all of them, just the ones named in divorce court as the "alienating party." The list of affairs attributed to the Newtster would make Hugh Hefner blush. He was pumping a nurses aide when his wife was at Grady for cancer treatment and was banned permanently from the hospital as a result. He didn't marry her or any of scores of others. You notice that Callista NEVER lets him out of sight --- EVER, not even for a second.
come on...he can't be that good. He is repulsive.
"No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life," attorney Lin Wood said.
Are you f***ing kidding me?
Cain is toast.
... but Bill Clinton is the best president every?
Mr. Cain would do well to get himself another attorney if he intends to fight these multiple accusations rather than try to ignore them. With comments like the above, Mr. Wood sure didn't help the Herman Cain case.
It appears Mr. Wood's veiled "threat" to any other potential accusers ("...they better think twice...") really wasn't all much of a deterrent.
And Mr. Wood only used a single word to do it...well, maybe two words.
Yawn.....Who cares about who he F.....that is for his wife and family to get excited about.
Nope, don't care who he does. But I do care about the lies and hypocrisy.
Yeah, I mean why would anyone care that a presidential candidate is a lying dirt bag lliving a complete double-life with a clueless wife at home, accused three time sexual harrasser, now accused long-time adulterer. It's not like we nearly had a Presidential impeachment over things like that...oh...wait.....
Yawn... @azereta, crawl back under that rock and keep your head in the sand - the grown-ups are trying to decide who should be president...
I don't care who he sleeps with but I do care about him trying to use power to get sex....And that is the only way he could get it because he is one scary lookin' dude dats fo' sho'
With so much chaos why doesn't he just take a polygraph in front of the American people to clear his good name. Maybe because he wouldn't pass it...???
He said he would do just that. After learning some of about the allegations adjudicated at the NRA, I now know this is all crazy.
That fact that people take it on face value without doing homework to find out what's going on is even crazier.
Oy,
What have you found not credible? He paid off two of them.
jkh
Polygraphs do not detect lies, only changes in physiology which some claim indicate lies (not true). In fact, the only people who can take a polygraph and pass with flying colors are psychopaths. Cain would probably do well.
Good god Oy!! The man said he would take a lie-detector test if he felt it was appropriate!! Do you really think Cain would ever feel it's appropriate??
You kinda need to be a little more critical of your candidates. They kinda need to be able to pass these easy tests let alone the hard ones... Don't ya think??
Liar, Liar, pants on fire!
Another day, another revelation...this is getting old.
Sounds like a pick up line. Excuse me, my pants are on fire. Can you help me take them off?
Bailey--you are the BOMB!
remember in Kalifornia we have the Kalifornicator, no he never did anything wrong! it was all about it was all about taking down Arnold, yeah right!
999: The Movie- That's what the Ginger White deal is meant to distract. Check it out.
It's no surprise that as soon as a new phase of the campaign is underway, another unsubstantiated allegation surfaces.
Timing is everything.- and in this case- suspicious.
If I had an affair with a married man the LAST thing I'd do is tell the whole world about it. This Ginger White confession of a sordid affair is pointless.
Ginger White and women who claim bad behavior with no shame = no class
If they had an affair, she should've been a REAL woman and took it to his wife.
Yes, Cain is definitely fit to be your nominee.. (Yikes!!)
Ok, so if that's your standard, don't vote for the woman who had the affair WITH Cain...oh wait...she's not running for anything.....
oy, even without these accusers coming forward, Cain had no chance. Cain doesn't even follow what is currently going on in the news around the world. Cain didn't even know what happened in Libya or that China has had Nuclear Weapons for over half a century.
We, the Democratic party, would love to have Herman as the Republican nominee.
Unfortunately, Democrats, including myself, for the most part didn't vote in 2010. This is why Republicans regained a foot hold, because we thought U.S. voters were smart enough to elect a decent house and senate, and governors. I will never make that mistake again, and will vote in these off-year elections.
oy-vay, apparently you don't even bother to read or listen to the news before your ignorant posts. White has phone records going back 2 years, and the reason she came out was because news sources were already on the story. Comments by Cain's lawyer make it obvious that something did happen, and that once again Cain has lied. No wonder this country is going downhill with morons like you allowed to vote.
Cain doesn't recognize the new PC reality. He should have had a homosexual affair. Reporting that is "homophobia".
whereas it's now PC to have paid off three women for sexual harrassment AND conduct a long term affair while married? Geez...maybe you should start your OWN political party...
When he drops out (I'm betting this week.), it will be "the media's fault".
I remember Rich Kotite, former spectacularly unsuccessful coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, who blamed the Inquirer and the Bulletin for every loss.
Please Cain drop out! And, no you can't legally keep the campaign contributions for yourself!
He already set the stage for that when he said if it gets too much for his family.
It would not surprise me if he himself is not behind these "revelations"....
After his recent goofs maybe this is just a way to go away and have people feel sorry for himand forget the stupid crap he did in the debates.
he's not that smart
No, Herman, what it means is you're a pig and nobody wants you anywhere near public service.
excuse me - a LYING pig
It's not wise to have strong feelings about things you know nothing about!!! It's irrational and void of logic.
You don't know anything! You haven't done any homework. You make a judgment (prejudice, bigotry) based on what you heard without looking at the facts.
It's this laziness that keeps Americans electing politicians they can't stand and then bellyache about later.
oy-vay!,
yes after 8 (?) allegations, how can we be sure with that dang liberal media?? Give the guy a chance, right? Never mind he's about as qualified as a walnut!
I suppose you also think it woulda been better if Rick Perry just skipped the debates too. Why you coulda just elected him on his looks and conservative ideals....
"Oy-vay" is the right phrase - enough with these nuts! Let it be between Romney and Gingrich and get rid of these dingbats (Cain, Perry, Bachman)
Marlon: how nice of you to summarily dismiss the only two intelligent persons left in the GOP nomination race, Dr. Paul and Ambassador Huntsman. Since we can't really be sure what Romney or Gingrich stand for (which way is the wind blowing today?) aren't we better off with principled, intelligent persons ?
Paul/Huntsman 2012
dirp101,
Yes those are legit - just keep the loonies out (Cain, Perry, Bachman - not fit to hold the presidency's jock strap!)
Don't put Paul in Huntsmans category, Huntsman is the only hope of GOP for 2012
Paul endorses Huntsman. You heard it here first!
"...he did acknowledge a relationship with the new woman, whom he called an "acquaintance" that he had tried to help."
"Yeah...let me help you out of those clothes." My wife would knock me senseless if I suddenly started consensually "helping" young ladies for years on end. This is classic bush league nonsense. Why do Republicans think that running for President is for amateurs?
"No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life," attorney Lin Wood said.
Really? Where were you on the Monica Lewinsky BS? I'm just wondering how this newfound respect for sexual privacy is going to sit with the same Republicans who hunted down salacious scraps of gossip on Bill Clinton like a bunch a of rabid dogs chasing a steak. Pretty well, I bet. Have fun with Newt - there'll be plenty more of this with that guy.
Herman was but a human form of what the Koch Brothers tried in Wisconsin and Ohio with Labor legislation.
The number of people who supported Herman would serve as a measure of how close they were to staging A coup d'état of the US Government.
Like in Wisconsin and Ohio, it appears the American people are not "buying".
Funny, his attny said that an affair is a consensual matter between two adults and is of no concern to the public. He did not deny it. AH HA.. So an affair is different than sexual harassment or assault. Herman, Herman, the cain train is being derailed.
Well put...
With each allegation, Cain has blamed everyone but himself. First it was Perry's fault, then Romney, and lately he blames the Democrats for his plight. I wonder who he'll blame for the exposure of the Affair.
I'm sure he wouldn't want to call the very person he had a 13 year affair, a liar. He has to know and even be worrying if he says anything unflattering about her, she'll tell more of his dirty little secrets....
Yes, dear ol' Herman has been "helping" a whole lotta gals out there. And how do they repay him? Well, just like any woman who has been "helped" Cain-style: they accuse him of sexual impropriety or an illicit affair. Poor Herman....such a "helpful" man, yet so ill-equipped to deal with the ramifications of all that tender care. Boo-Hoo.
this cannot be true. If it's a women who has consented, then this must be a lie.
hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!
My dear Hermin in the interests of the American people, your wife and pizza companies all over the country please drop out of the race. Either that we will be subjected to a parade of floozies that you have in some way shape or form either harassed, molested or had consentual sex with. While as a private citizen it is none of our business as one running for the highest office in the land you have made it our business. Your character and your willingness to cheat on a woman you have made a committment to is a good indication of how you will be in office and treat us the American people. Besides that you have me wonder if there were some 66s in between your 999 tax plan.
Besides that you have me wonder if there were some 66s in between your 999 tax plan. Er, I think you mean 69s not 66s
No, I meant 66s in between those 9-9-9s together make 69s. I was trying to refrain from putting 69 for the sake of people who are going to read this and think it is crass.
can you please explain that again?
