No good deed goes unpunished.
Is he saying these were sins of the mind?
As to her motivation, that is an enormous duh. It offends me these people give interviews to do somebody else in, yet claim some ridiculous motive. And of course the “journalist” doesn’t bring up that the reason makes no sense.
And Cain did not realize this was going to come out? What a joke. Donezo.
If the “good deed” involves helping another woman financially without the knowledge of one’s wife, then the good deed will certainly be punished (by the wife) once it becomes public.
Didn’t tell his wife. This gets worse and worse for the campaign.
Hey, where’s the crime here? :-)
Glad it wasn’t tax payers’ money or campaign contributions.
I believe him; although he was naive - especially being so generous to a cretin like Ginger Bread. Over a period of 13-14 years he should have had her figured out as a parasite.
I have no problem with HC’s story. I assume if there was an affair of some kind and she was travelling on and off with him, she would be able to produce some kind of evidence. To date she has not.
But it doesn’t speak well for HC’s judgment, IMO, if he’s a married man and giving another woman money and his wife doesn’t know a thing about it.
There's alot of things we're not going to tell Mrs. Howell about...
Where’s the crime?
If his wife didn’t know about it, then I think that is bad. He’s running for president and doing this?
Sorry, but Cain has to go. Sex is only a by-product of dishonesty in a marital relationship. In most cases, emotional infidelity has occurred for quite some time before a sexual relationship occurs. If he was supporting another woman financially and emotionally without telling his wife, then he was being very dishonest with her and should not be supported by anyone who respects the sanctity of marriage. If his intentions were entirely honourable, then it’s something he would have proudly shared with his wife. Cain may not have had sex with this woman, but she was giving him something (emotional support? praise? self-esteem) which she had no right to give and he had no right to receive. This is Cain’s “bridge too far”.
Herman Cain acknowledged Thursday that he repeatedly gave Ginger White money to help her with “month-to-month bills and expenses” without telling his wife. In fact, the embattled presidential candidate said, his wife, Gloria, “did not know that we were friends until she (White) came out with this story.”
Wasn’t the REAL tip off that Gloria wasn’t out in front of a bank of microphones in two minutes telling the world this woman was full of crap? that Herm knew her for years?
Good deed? Please - Cain is a playa.
This is not a good fact of the situation, but it still could be as Cain says, innocent.
If the woman claims more and it isn’t true, she is slandering (libeling?) Cain. I think he has to sic Lin Wood on her, and I don’t mean lightly.
IMHO, this is necessary if Cain wishes to continue as a serious candidate.
Get over yourselves, Union Leader...do you believe your own hype?
