I heard 7 out of 10 Republicans say what Herman Cain has done wouldn't keep them from voting for him..I wonder what they would say if it was their daughter he was sexually harassing..Guess that tells me the 7 out of ten don't care for their daughters..Through the years as a divorced woman I fought off men like him constantly..They thought just because they were my boss or supervisor they could man-handle me all they wanted..One time I punched a boss and guess what..? I didn't get fired and he let me alone after that..I have been pinched on the breast, patted and trapped in my office by "Herman Cains"..I think he is a pig!!!

You think Herman Cain is a "Pig" because he called some insecure woman "Sweetie" or "Honey" fifteen years ago, and it made her feel "uncomfortable." But I guess it was OK for Clinton to do what he did with Monica and the cigar, and it was OK for John Edwards to father a child by one of his assistants and use campaign funds to cover it up?? Mr. Cain's accusors have not said one word. We don't know what he did.

Well, after yesterdays announcement, it looks like we don't need to worry about Herman Cain anymore, he's toast ! I know it's her word against his but after so many accusuations no one is going to trust him. He just might actually be a "pig" ! and he will never be our president.

I don't understand the reference to Clinton. It is not relevant to this discussion. Yeah it happened, and no it wasn't right, but what does that have to do with now and a potential presidental nominee?
The issue that disturbs me is that sexual harrasment is not about race, it is about power over another and abuse of that power. Herman Cain and various GOP/Fox pundits have made this into a race issue. This is not an issue to be p-shawed (as my mom would say) and we are losing the larger focus. What type of person, don't care what color the person is, takes advantage of people in this fashion? Typically I don't care what people do in their bedrooms, if politicians want to cheat on their significant others, that is between them and their partners, my vote the next time around will reflect my position. But when people use the power they have to intimidate someone and make them feel uncomforable in a sexual way on the job, that isn't right.

If you believe everything that the news media tells you your too young to know better. The news media isn't telling you anything but what they want you to know. I remember the day when a broadcasting network didn't align itself with a Party. This has changed since Obama became president and bailed out their big business owners. They don't want Herman Cain to run because he's smart, honest and not a pervert that's a put up job, he tells it like it is and has the business snap to pull this country out.

DTaft,

Have you seen the latest Hermain Cain bungled response when he was asked a simple question if he agreed with Obama on Libya. Here is the raw unedited footage from the Milwaukee Journal. Watch and then ask yourself. Is this presidential?

It's not like Libya hasn't been in the news. It's not a gotcha question. I would guess 90 percent of Americans would be able to articulate a better response.

We should understand that Herman Cain is a product of racism and segregation. He went to an all-black high school and an all black college.

What we also need to understand is that some people in the black community prospered under segregation. When we think of the segregated black community in the south, we remember the brave people who fought it. We forget that there were many Southern blacks who opposed Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement. They were comfortable blacks who knew their place and didn't want to rock the boat. This is the world that Herman Cain comes from. His father was the personal chauffeur for the President of Coca Cola. Apparently, being an uneducated sharecropper, Luther, was a godfearing good southern Christian Negro who knew his place. He was differential and obediant and never spoke back to his master/boss. He accepted gifts from his master/boss, such as tuition for little Herman to go to Morehouse college. He trusted in Jesus and the white man to help him. The result - dead at 57 from diabetes.

Note that when Cain was made president of 720 Godfather's Pizzas by Burger King President Campbell, there was not a single store owned by a black person. Three years later, there was still not a single store owned by a black person.

Cain has done well in the white world. he knows how to shine the shoes of the rich, white folk he works for and never criticizes them in any way. Like the rich, white folk whose ideology he has adopted, he hates poor and workingclass people, black and whtie equally. In his class hatred of the non-rich, he does not discriminate.

Reference: Politico, November 29, 2011: Herman Cain abandoned by conservatives.

Herman Cain is now “reassessing his plans" for the Presidency in light of the allegation of a 13 year affair with Ginger White, a "friend." While many conservatives stood behind him on the sexual harassment charges, they are now abandoning him. Mike Huckabee declared on Fox News that White’s charge was “the most damaging allegation that has been made, to date” about Cain.

Really? An affair is more damaging than a sexual harassment charge? Or ignorance of government?

My view is that what Cain and White did on their own for 13 years as two consenting adults should only be an issue between Cain and his wife. And maybe his wife who has a lot of class has had enough. And that is why he is reassessing his plans.

However, Cain should have been totally dismissed a long time ago for his ignorance of foreign affairs...and his 9-9-9 Plan. He is unqualified to be President, yet the fact that all the important issues needed to define the President of the United States didn't matter to his core supporters until it was revealed that he had an "affair" says something more about the hypocrisy of the Republican Party than it does about Cain himself.

Schmidt:

The other Republican candidate with a "zippergate" problem is Newt Gingrich. While he publicly lambasted Bill Clinton about his relationship with Monica Lewinsky, he was himself conducting an affair with a staffer, who ultimately became his third wife.

As is the case with Herman Cain, though, all that sex stuff is just a distraction.

Two years after Time magazine named him "Man of the Year", Gingrich was disciplined by the House of Representatives for ethics violations. He continues to deny that he was a highly paid lobbyist for Freddie Mac, and he also says that he is a "visionary", and not a proponent, of the health care consultancy that he founded eight years ago.

www.nytimes.com/2011/11/30/us/politics/gingrich-gave-push-to-clients-not-just-ideas.html

I continue to be amazed by the fact that he is apparently the leading Presdentail candidate. It's not surprsing that the New Hampshire Union Leader endorsed him, since they are based in the "live free or die" state, but I'm pretty sure that other newspapers are smarter than that.

2012.presidential-candidates.org/

Oddly enough, I hope that he gets selected to run for President by the Republican Party, since a series of televised debates with Barack Obama would finally convince enough people that he is totally unqualified to be President. I'd also like to see him pick Sarah Palin (or maybe Tine Fey) as his running mate, since that would REALLY seal his fate.

Thanks for the Gingrich links Arizona. I thought I would start a new topic on Gingrich rather than carry it forward under the Herman Cain heading.

Gosh there's a mountain of stuff on Gingrich and am somewhat surprised that so little of it is public knowledge ...yet.

Cracam:

Although NewHampshire DID legalize same-sex marriages on January 1, 2010, they were far from the first state to do so.

The timeline below shows the "approval ratio" in various states and countries. The first same sex marriage in America occurred in 1971, in my home state of Minnesota. However, same sex marriages actually go way bacy to the Roman Empire!
