If what you say is true, Cain’s main backers should be eager to lynch the lynchers.
The phone records are easy to refute, or explain if Cain had some business or professional relationship with White. I imagine the text messages are still available. A 13 year relationship has a lot of verifiable history, or not.
Why hasn’t a defamation suit been filed by Cain? If this woman is lying, surely he must want to clear his name & retaliate against a liar & slanderer.
These allegations strike at the heart of Cain’s credibility. He must refute these allegations immediately & vigorously, or lose his conservative support.
You see, my problem with this is HOW Cain handles crises.
If he “fumbles the ball” every time he is challenged, then he is not fit to be President. If he cannot deal decisively & brutally with liars, then he will fail miserably in Washington, DC. We already have a Fumbler-in-Chief - we can’t afford another!
No interest in seeking to their level, but willing to burn down their plantation before we allow him to be lynched..

Tempting...but when one uses wisdom, you are forced to conclude that any lawsuit at this moment would just add to the circus and distract from the ultimate goal. Which is to solve the problems we face as a nation that are beyond pesky, and have the ability to actually cripple us.

Pure speculation. He will not lose true conservative support, he will lose support of folks weak at heart, unwilling to recognize the true battle and war- and how serious this is. Allowing this man to be dragged through the street as an example to those who challenge the elites, media, and powerful in DC would be the epitome of caving to the thought that WE the People truly control this government. The evil in this country wants us to believe that a good man without politically lined wheels cannot win, or even survive DC. They want us to believe that we need their help to guide us, they know how this works. We need to just accept those they put on the menu for us, Then we get a say.

I can understand that being a problem. But it brings me to this. I don't want a well polished politico. If they can "manage" the media without a hitch, they can "manage" me as well....I don't want perfect, I want principled, I want someone willing to see corruption and put a stop to it. We will never end the corruption in DC if we are too scared to drive the corrupt folks out of DC. Newt and Mitt don't strike me as uncorrupted or principled. Cain and Bachmann are more likely candidates for such a thing.

What you may see as fumbling, I see as someone who is not letting media and rumors distract him from the priority of his real mission. He is not falling into that trap, and pundits and Rush wannabees want to label that as incompetence. It is human nature to react harshly to those targeting us with evil, vile, and lies. But don't mistake his ability to resist this urge as a weakness. It is the sign of someone who doesn't deal with ankle biters vs armed enemies in a priority of urgency...
Again, I understand your train of thoughts, and can appreciate your concerns. They are real, not imagined. But we are trained by pundits and media to allow us to be distracted. They are masters at teasing our logic and urges to right wrongs. They have truly mastered the ability to tap into our urges to think the worst, find flaws, and be convinced of their educated and knowledgeable experience....
I see. So you are “concerned”. Right?
