Maybe we were reading these sexual harassment allegations wrong.
They don’t seem to have hurt Cain at all. If anything, they’ve made him stronger. A Washington Post-ABC Poll found him still nearly tied with Romney in the polls — even after the allegations made news!
The Monday after they surfaced was a banner day for fundraising Cain. More than a million dollars of donations reportedly poured in. Maybe the Rick Perry staffer who so cleverly traveled back to the past to seed these allegations more than a decade ago should have thought harder. So far, they seem to be having the opposite of their expected effect.
“We were worried that ‘sexual harassment’ might be going too far,” someone murmurs in a bunker. “It’s a touchy subject. It’s not as clear-cut as an affair. It’s like pornography — you know it when you see it, and you try to keep it out of the office. But it turns out people enjoy a salacious sideline to their daily barrage of 2012 news.”

NOPE! He has denied that, but it was "reported" he was the source. Reported by Politico. Such an unimpeachable source. hee hee hee

They are going to be analyzing this one for a long time. They couldn’t understand Rick Scott either ‘butt butt medicare fraud!’. lmao It is so good to see the official propaganda squads being hoisted on their petards and the snide little twit frat boys on our side are almost as bad. They act all tough and then rush back into the arms of those they claim to oppose so they can yuck it up and claim stupid things like ‘hahahaha Cain is so stupid he didn’t know about Chinese nukes’ when ‘ha hahaha he worked plotting where Chinese nukes might strike America as a ballistics mathmatician for the Navy hahhaha’.
I understand the left but some of the people on ‘our side’ are just pathetic snide jerks. I was happy to see Ann Coulter defend Cain. I’d lost faith in her. She had become a charicature of herself. Like a conservative Bill Mahr but I liked seeing the old Ann show herself again.
Anyway I’m just glad my instincts were right on Cain because I was honestly worried. Not that we don’t have other candidates to pick from but I just kept getting visions of what happenned to Fred Thompson before the Iowa Caucuses. Where the Romney Camp used politico to leak a fake story that he would drop out.
Nice to see they’ve gamed the American people one too many times.
Now that is a real trip to Fantasyland! Just think about that statement for a millisecond. If she was just interested in the money, would she potentially have access to more money from the NRA or all of the fawning media outlets who would pay her to appear with her story, then the eventual book deal?
Karl Rove has turned out to be a big disappointment for conservatives. He is about as relevant as Jerry Rivers.
It is unfortunate because I believe he began essentially as a really good guy but some where along the line he became more about preserving his power especially after McCain lost and truthfully I do not see him entirely as ‘the enemy’ but you are right he is a disappointment. I don’t like it when I see him gang up on and feed the monster that is the political class.
That’s true but but it would mean she has to show her face and take the heat and you’d better believe there would be heat especially if her story wasn’t much different than the anonymous one. Easy money is better than fame. No one really wants to be the next Anita Hill.
You are so right.
I wish I could give that a try. What software is required?
We need to FIRE everysingle representative judicial, and executive govt official, TODAY for gross misconduct, if not for outright THEFT!
I think you misunderstood I think Wilson is a scum bag now that doesn’t mean I believe Perry told him to go out there and feed the story. That is a very stupid move. There isn’t always conspiracy but if there is one it usually comes from those with access.
To show her face for how many millions? If that is such a horrible thing to have to quit working for a living and finding a nice little oceanfront villa in the Virgin Islands?
Gee that is really a tough existence.
The old We'll keep you in power if you keep us in power show. More people are starting to recognize "THE PLOT".
It's just acting folks.
I'm hoping Herman is the real deal. His past scares the woo hoo outta me. He was in "THE FED", the actual rulers of our nation.
A smarmy EPIC FAIL for WaPo and Alexandra Petri.
Karl Rove is NOT and HAS NEVER BEEN a conservative. Why do so many conservatives latch on to these phony beltway RINOS?
He’s gaining because we know it’s a lie and we’re pissed....
