My wife would think 61 phone calls and texts to/from a ‘troubled’ woman I was trying to ‘help’ would be more than reprehensible, she would call it grounds for divorce.
IF he is telling the truth here, where is his wife saying she knows this person, she knew Herman was merely being a generous sort of guy by giving her cash, and she has no problem with it? Herman’s explanation does not pass the smell test, and as a former Cain supporter (yes, you can go back a month or two and see my FR postings on Cain),I find it surprising that so many FReepers still support him.
I’m so sorry to hear that. I would hope your wife would have a little more confidence and trust in you.
Still, the smear tactics that are being used against him now are the very same ones that were used against Palin. I don't know if he's telling the truth or not, but I certainly don't like how the libs and the GOP-E are trying to take him down using the sleaze factor, and I'm not about to reward them for it.
M-guy, I really understand your point. But, for some of us, we feel that we can’t continue to allow the left/media to “play” us. The MSM says, ok let’s get some dirt on M-guy’s candidate, and because M-guy’s a principled person, he’ll dump his candidate. Result: we stand on principle, and they govern the country into the abyss.
I’ll stare God in the face, and when He asks why I voted for a possible adulterer, I’ll say honestly- “Because, Dear Lord, the alternative was an atheist1”
You don’t have to support him - but I will decide if I do or not.
And, I will not depend of the media to find out for me.
Are you saying that Cain has to be a perfect candidate even after we have seen the lives of many politicians have not been as moral as we would like?
I don’t approve of any of their immoral acts - but I am looking for the man or woman who will lead this country.
Do you know the nature of the texts/calls? A single word contained in any of them?
Do you know how many were TO as opposed to FROM?
Do you know the nature of their relationship?
We know she is making an allegation. Cain flatly denies it. She is on record as a libeler and stalker. Not a single person backs up her story.
So you have ZERO facts. You could wait until you do but you’d rather keep spouting off like an old hen gossiping over her neighbor clothesline
“I find it surprising that so many FReepers still support him.”
I guess we either are smarter or have better noses than those who jumped off the Cain Train when this garbage began.
I SMELLED A RAT!
Have a great time living with Newt! May be a bit crowded with Princess Nancy in the bed!
I am not a fan of Cain or any of the other candidates, however, the problem with the elections is the fact that you have the insiders, who make money off of us electing them into Congress and the Presidency, which on a bipartisan basis, engage in Insider Trading, or at least what would be considered insider trading to the rest of us, because they have more access to corporate information, and possible needs to buy or sell stocks, then the rest of us regular people do. This is true both ways, and the main bulk have their own little “club” to make money, and throw someone occasionally under the bus as needs be, to keep any suspicion or anger off of them. This is actually not conspiracy theory either, Steve Kroft from CBS’ 60 Minutes actually did an investigation with the Hoover Institute at Stanford to confirm this:

The big point is, when you realize why the media, and Congress are putting so much effort into spotlighting various candidates, they are simply doing it to be manipulative, and keep their dirty rear-ends in Congressional Seats. As far as Herman Cain goes, yes, he may be committing some act, but most of what I have heard is flattery more than anything else. What is the actual case against him? He may get exhausted or overwhelmed, but simple labels of morality aren’t going to just push my buttons in a heartbeat, I would rather have him push away through the following segments of the primaries then either of the two progressive GOPers, a.k.a. Romney and Gingrich.
MGD and I got sucked in to a situation for a very long year. We thought we were helping a friend of our daughter's and her mom out of a temporary bind, and ended up with the daughter living with us for a year and the (unknown to us at the time) heroin-addicted mom calling at all hours for my hubby to drive her places and fix stuff for her. If he were running for President, I'm sure this nut job could make up a good story similar to the one Ms. White is telling based on the number of communications that were exchanged.
It’s amazing. I mean I’m totally at a loss to understand why the Cain supporters are hanging in with this man.
At some point in time, you’ve gotta say enough is way too much.
But good luck to them.
So let's see the texts. . .if there was a "there" there. . we would have seen text transcripts by now. I'm sticking with Cain. . hell, the dems stick with their guys come hell or high water. . .we're going to throw Cain under the bus because of texts? Please. . .run to Newt. . you deserve him. . .and then you'll run someplace else after the next volley from the press hits Newt. . .nope, I'm drawing the line in the sand here. . it ends here. I tell you what. . I DON'T CARE IF THE DIRT IS TRUE OR NOT. . .I'M DRAWING THE LINE HERE. . FIGHT AND DIE HERE! NO MORE BEING COWED BY THE MEDIA!!!
