RE: Call me naive, but I cannot even fathom just what that gesture might be.

Have you ever been to a tailor trying to measure your height for a suit and instead of using a ruler, uses his hands to emulate the ruler instead?

Never been to tailor. I’m just an off-the-rack kinda gal. But I do get your point. Thanks

RE: It seems the people closest to Cain dislike him the most.

Many people have come out ito testify to Herman Cain’s character and integrity and MOST were people who have worked closely with him.

This is just one of them — click the link below:

I don’t know where you’re getting the above information from.

RE: Cain will never get my vote unless he could prove he is innocent.

How would you like to be zotted as a liberal troll unless you can prove you’re not one? How does that sound like?

The guy at the radio station = RINO Huckabee 2008 supporter.

Therefore you are incorrect when you say that the broadcaster Deace is a “staunch” anything. The guy is a squishy liberal RINO.

But the media firestorm has overlooked one key fact: We still don't know what Cain actually did. New details emerged ...... unnamed women ....Politico originally reported ..... accused Cain of making "sexually suggestive" remarks and "improper" gestures. ....reports provide some NO clarity to the scandal, mostly by providing...printing bullshit information that differentiates does nothing:

According to both bullshit stories, [someone] paid... . The NYT reports bullshit....blah blah blah....

Politico reports bullshit that the [someone else] got paid......blah blah blah.....reported, .... while leaving out the details of the incident.

But in the end, the new revelations raise more questions than they answer, more bullshit . In fact, the Cain harassment story has actually gotten more vague and confusing as new details and allegations emerge. There, fixed it....Actually, when you filter out the bullshit, there is no there there.

It really doesn’t work that way. He doesn’t have to prove he is innocent.

It is the other way around.

Who are you supporting anyway?

Yep. It was my first thought as well. The Association might be known as an easy mark. I’d like to know how many “severance packages” were issued in total during the target period.

That’s all I have heard anyone say that is specific. Cain said that’s all he could remember that transpired. He said “You’re about my wife’s height and he held his hand flat under his chin to indicate the height.

When Cain decides upon his “final” story, we’ll see. We don’t need another Beelzebubba.

Your last paragraph is utter fantasy

Blacks in general like big government, even fiscal conservative blacks and the democrat party is the party of big massive government

I agree, I wish he hadn’t done that, and I wish he’d stayed above all of that. On the other hand, remember how irritating it was when Bush never addressed any of the allegations against him? It’s so damned if you do and damned if you don’t (all of this to say, I have no good answer). I get exactly what you mean. I wish we fought with contestants who fought fair.

I don’t believe that, Pop. I really, truly believe that human beings want to succeed and strive for better. It’s instinct and nature.

If you remove the dependency blanket, those who can’t will fail and those who can will prosper. It will force an entire race to rethink how they live. Blacks are not inherently lazy. I know many industrious blacks who are rock-ribbed conservatives and preach personal responsibility.

I am a firm believer that Democrats are subjugating blacks much the same way they have since our founding. They don’t want them to succeed, so they force them on to the government teat. Remove the teat, you basically force them to jump out of the nest and fly. Many will fall, many will soar.

This can also be applied to white trash and lazy Hispanics, if you wish.

I’m over it. What’s important now is how Cain does going forward. I wonder about his current campaign manager, if he’s the right guy to go the distance.

Cain accuser attorney: Client sees ‘no value’ in revisiting issue

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2802657/posts

This is Cain winning and you smear merchants getting your butts handed you child. Complete abject surrender to Cain by the smear bots. They were offered the chance to defend their accusations in the open and the smearbots ran.

Better luck with the next bot attack Son of Slander.

I hate to say it, because it always looks a little desperate, but it may be time to get a whole new staff. But, I’m certainly no expert in that area.

One thing I’m not starting with this election is that if Cain or any candidate is not elected then the world is coming to an end. It is not. I think that is why a lot of people are willing to over look what appears to be a big problem the guy has. He is not the savior.

*****

Nor does he have to be anyone’s “savior.” But he does need to lead the Congress (something ZERO is unable to do) abide by the Constitution, (something ZERO is unwilling to do) and in our case, get the government the HE**& out of the way so the private sector can rebound.(Something ZERO REFUSES to do).

Look at JFK — look at all of that mythical “Camelot” BS. The guy was screwing Marilyn Monroe and God knows who else. But everyone agrees he was a halfway decent president.

I’d like for the president to have stellar moral values, and a squeaky clean past, but is that realistic? I cannot apply the same standards to my own life ... but I’ve done a lot of other very good things with it.

Even if Cain had a bit of problem a while back, perhaps he has moved on. It does not appear to have ruined his marriage or family life. It doesn’t look like a pattern — IF it even happened. At this point it’s all rumor ...a rumor out at the time when the dude is rising in the polls.

Time to apply the common sense rule here.
