ATLANTA (AP) - Republican candidate Newt Gingrich is decrying media coverage of the sexual harassment claims against rival Herman Cain and says that Cain's tax plans deserve more attention.

Gingrich has told WSB radio in Atlanta on Wednesday that he thinks it's "disgusting" that the news media has started what Gingrich described as a "witch hunt" against Cain. It was revealed this week that Cain's former employer, the National Restaurant Association, settled in the 1990s with two women who claimed that Cain had sexually harassed them.

A third woman has told The Associated Press that she considered filing a sexual harassment complaint but never did.

Gingrich says Cain is trying to help a country that's in trouble and has gotten more coverage for what Gingrich termed gossip than for Cain's tax policies.

“Shame that Perry and Romney turned down a similar debate, would be entertaining to watch those two.”

No, it's not a shame. I've had enough of those two clowns. Willard and Not-So-Slick Rick (along with Santorum at times) have been a flat out embarrassment to this campaign and the debates.

The Cain-Gingrich debate will for sure be the best, most intelligent and informative debate of the campaign.

I swear, if Romney or Perry gets the nomination, I will have to stay home election day. They will only continue the damage 0bama has caused. I'm done voting for “the lesser of two evils”. The lesser of two evils is still EVIL!

I’d vote for a Cain / Gingrich ticket in a second.

Ditto that.

Exactly right on all counts.

If only most of the idiots wake up and see 0bama for what he is, what he’d done and it’s time for a drastic rescue.

God help America.

Newt continues to show he’s an adult in the room. We need more of that in this campaign cycle.

I am soooo sick of the GD Marxist media in this country blowing up this who gives a damn story in their attempt to destroy this good and decent man, while totally ignoring the blatant theft of a billion dollars (or more) by Jon Corzine, who should be in a prison cell by now.

It is truly mind boggling that Corzine openly and arrogantly steals taxpayer money. It's theft on a grand scale. He knows the MSM will totally ignore this story.

Our Republic is being raped daily by the evil left and little is done. I pray that 1800's justice can be handed out to Corzine. He is as slimy as they come.

Newt’s “nobility” on this point will actually win him support. Right now, he comes across in Republican circles as the only “adult” on the stage (how scary is that?!). Oh, I still don’t trust Newt as far as I can throw him, but he’s starting to hit his stride, and when he does, he’s one of the BEST politically.

it’s from over a decade ago. the ladies can plead that they forgot some details. Also, quite frankly sexual harassment can be anything — there is another post about how Cain asked someone “Darling, more tea please” or something.

That can work. Far better than anything with Perry (RINO with small horn) or Romney (RINO with big horn) in it. If Cain implodes it is possible that voters will move to Gingrich. That’s fine with me, as long as it is not a move to (Obama prototype/Liberal lite) Romney or (rocks for brains) Perry.

The VP debate alone is worth that.


Newt would neuter Biden.

****

Newt would VAPORIZE Plugs. It would be embarassing to watch. (for Biden).

You got it! “Vaporize” is right.

Cain would wipe the floor with 0bama.

Let's be honest, a cardboard box could vaporize Biden.
