Herman Cain’s Attorney [Basically] Admits Affair - Studies in failures to communicate.
Redstate ^ | 11/28/2011 | Leon H. Wolf

Posted on 11/28/2011 3:51:44 PM PST by TBBT

In breaking news this afternoon, a Georgia woman is claiming that she had a 13-year affair with Herman Cain. She says she has documents (whatever they might be) which can back it up. In what can only be described as the guiltiest-looking no-comment statement in the history of politics, Cain’s lawyer offered this absurd response (especially hilarious parts in bold):

*snip*

One of two things is true about this statement. Either Mr. Cain and his attorney are basing their views on what is an appropriate subject of media scrutiny for political candidates on the way politics work on another planet (perhaps another galaxy, even), or they are basically trying to telegraph to us that he completely did it. After following Cain’s campaign for the last several months, I would say either is equally likely. After all, basically the only reason a Presidential candidate would take a principled stand against admitting or denying that they had a multi-year affair on the woman to whom they are still married is if they have some principled objection to lying about having completely done it. And if that wasn’t the intended message, then Cain’s communications operation is even worse than we thought – which is really saying something.

I love Cain. Many people I respect love Cain. But this one looks to be true. She has cell records, texts, probably much more. Cain has already denied this. Cain is toast. He’ll have a hard time staying married. I feel sorry for him, but why run with this hanging over him? I guess this is the reason for such a long primary. Weeds them out. Looks like we better get behind Newt.... Just Damn.

Uhh...what do you think they have on Newt and will spring at the right time? And before you bail on Cain there is a big difference between an alleged private consensual affair and harassment/assault. Besides this woman has a Bialek-like history of stalking and financial woes.

Cain should simply withdraw from the GOP nomination process and fade away. He has become too much of a distraction for the party and the people. This is a waste of time and energy away from real issues and Obama.

Assuming he stays in the race, and I do assume he will, I believe he will not get the nomination of the Republican Party, unless very quickly this accuser is proven to be a liar.

Tell me about your sex life then. We want to know all the details! I can imagine your response and you’d be right. Cain denied it. The America people can decide if they believe him or that woman.

The question isn't “has America sunk this low” but “have Republicans/Conservatives and most importantly Freepers sunk this low”

The “relationship” lasted for 13 YEARS. Ended 8 months ago, last texts in Sept.

The amusing thing is, this woman is already being torn apart here for being a litigious dirt bag. That may be true, but then why was Cain friends with her? And what on earth was he doing supporting her financially? And yes, he did say that. Herman says that is the reason she had his phone number, because he was helping her financially. So is she a litigious dirt bag, or someone an aspiring US President feels worthy of being friends with and helping financially? At minimum this seems to be a display of terrible judgment, and isn't that what Cain keeps trying to sell as part of his candidacy - that he doesn't need to know much because he will choose great people to have around him?

But he has no record to even fall back on. Just rhetoric and personality and that has been my problem with him all along.

Bankruptcy, evictions, unemployed, single mother with 2 kids....... target for use by unscrupulous politicians.

She's been evicted 6 times!! She had a restraining order out on her for stalking someone with texts and phone calls. Yet we're told she had a record of 61 texts/calls TO OR FROM Cain. Why wouldn't the news specify which? She also has sex harassment claims in her background. This broad is from Cain smear central casting

If it were Clinton everyone here would believe the women immediately. But it’s Cain so everyone wants to give him the benefit of the doubt?? Sheesh.... A parade of women alleging sexual harassment. A claim of a 13 year affair that ended recently. Oh yeah... he’s innocent. :)

I know, when a candidate of your choice fails, blame someone else.
