Do you really believe that he was helping her for 13 years just because she states she was with him. Isn’t it possible that he just knew her for 13 years, but as a friend only.

It has supposedly (allegedly) only been since Oct. that she has texted him 71 times and he has only replied back more than half the time.

I think she is setting him up. What gain does she get from bringing any of this personal information out? She isn’t sounding like this was a bitter (alleged) affair... He didn’t hit her, hurt her, throw her under the bus? What possibly is the motive of her stepping up and talking about whatever nonsense she is bringing up? There is no value to this whole thing other than taking Cain down in the eyes of his voters.

SO..... What’s her motive? Who’s behind this? Is it really true?

I don’t believe any of it and I do believe people are setting him up to go down and that is all they are doing. Notice how the other supposed people have all but disappeared - where’s Gloria and Sharon been lately?

Let me just add to your Newt failings is that he has previously supported a national health insurance mandate.

Quote
“Unless you have 100 percent coverage, you can’t have the right preventive care, and you can’t have a rational system,” he said in 2005 at a health care forum where he shared the stage with his former nemesis Hillary Clinton. “And so I’m actually in favor of finding a way to say you ought to either have health insurance, or you ought to post a bond.”

But, I will say he would be an easier person if Cain drops out to vote for than Romney! I still want Cain!

I’m glad I’m not the only one in the room that sees the same thing. I’m upset that Cain as I can understand it gave what money he did within the last couple of months...very stupid. Even so, I’ve seen no proof of something improper. There isn’t alot of actual proof out in the open here right now.

“Do you really believe that he was helping her for 13 years just because she states she was with him. Isn’t it possible that he just knew her for 13 years, but as a friend only.”

I don’t know...and either do you. He says in the Union Leader that he met her many years ago...not specific...but many usually means a lot...it could be fewer than 13, but we don’t know. The only allegation is hers (13 years) and he won’t be specific. I just don’t know what makes her story so incredible. If I had a woman friend and was giving her money - ten bucks - my wife would know. My wife knows all of the long time friends I have. And I have a lot.

You don’t believe it. OK. I don’t know what to believe. But the story isn’t going away and this is the last thng we all need right now, giving Zero time to throw fund raisers while speculating on this shit.

Sorry I said anything, but it pisses me off.

Lol, very attention getting post!
Que Sera.....what will be will be. Just watched him on Hannity and Hannity had to clarify some remarks. Cain’s explanations aren’t always clear, but they change the next day anyway.

So far, the only “proof” are statements made by annonymous sources, media-hungry attorney’s and some questionable females who are in financial difficulty. No receipts, pictures, formal charges, or adjudication.

I find it sad there are so many people on FR, who I thought were more discerning, quick to judge without any supporting evidence.

I have no problems with the give and take of political discourse. I do have a problem with the lack of critical thinking that I am afraid is becoming more commonplace on FR.

oh, please. Ms. White chose to put herself in the spotlight with some explosive allegations against a public figure who happens to be in a contest to run for the Office of President of the United States. She chose to jump on that bandwagon. What has been written about her - the failed business, the stalking, the evictions - are a matter of public record. And statements of people who’ve known her a long time, i.e., her mother and a former husband, both of whom claim she has little relationship with the truth.

Even IF her allegations are true, every last one, there was no reason for her to come forward other than to garner publicity for herself, and to hurt someone with whom she claims she had a long term relationship, and who helped her out financially when she was in trouble.

I’m not too sure she had a reputation to be damaged. Now, such as it is, it’s very, very public, and her own doing.

Who gives a flying intercourse?

I don’t care if he is having sex with 20 whores a week, as long as he still has enough energy to do his job.

You and I have different values, and are making our voting decisions based on different criteria.

Vote for whomever you want. It’s a free country.

Many - too many - work the boards to get people to herd to their candidate. Some paid, some not.

Respectfully, here’s something for you to consider: a guy who will cheat on his wife will think nothing of cheating on the voters who elected him.

Character matters.

You’re absolutely right!
My Priest: the doctor who did my colon re-section; my oncologist; the nurse who monitored my chemo; my brother-in-law.

What’s your point?

If I were Mrs. Cain, I doubt I would have ever given whoever orchestrated this the benefit of admitting I did not know about this. I would have said I did know and that Herman was known to help people in need financially.

Then I would have made his life very unpleasant.

“oh, please. Ms. White chose to put herself in the spotlight...”

Huh. Outrage against some people you don’t know are telling the truth that have chosen to become public figures is OK, others not. If that makes sense to you, OK.

I’m done. Thanks for clearing that up.

I know, I also say ‘fast talkers’. Am I the only one who sees a similarity between this woman and Bialek, needy women he ‘sees’ at conferences who need help.

Bialek said he agreed to meet her to ‘help with a job’. She said she repelled aggression, perhaps White didn't and it ‘evolved’. Wonder if we'll ever know the truth.
