“I repeat: given that we’re constantly told that sex doesn’t matter, and given that the iconic feminist Gloria Steinem herself ennunciated the “one-grope” rule, I don’t see how Cain’s 15 year old aggressive sexual behavior, which he stopped as soon as Sharon Bialek told him to stop, matters. If we were still living in a society that followed traditional morality, it would matter. But we’re not. We’re living in a radically sexually liberated society, where conservatives are automatically dismissed if they attempt to uphold traditional standards of behavior. So let’s please stop this absurd hypocrisy.
If Cain had engaged in more serious sexual transgressions, that would be different. But I don’t see how the Non-Judgmental States of America in the year 2011 says with a straight face that Cain’s alleged 15 year old grope and head-pull disqualifies him for public office.
I believe Cain is wholly unqualified for the presidency, and that conservatives are making fools of themselves by supporting him. But that is an entirely different issue from these accusations of sexual impropriety. “

I think he’s worthy. I trust his direction. He can surround himself with experience. His optimism and personality resonates with me. We need a patriot in office...
You know the whole thing is a joke when one of the accusers is named Buy A Lick.
So you’re assuming that Cain did something?
