It does not matter. These types of things need to be vetted and discussed about a candidate.
The bigger problem was Cain’s bumbling all day with “make up as I go” responses to the issue and questions. That bothers me a whole lot more about him and has forever. He just does not have any consistency and thoughtfulness.
Actually his not handling it like a politician is what I like about him. It isn’t as easy as it seems even for a pro like Bush and the drunk driving charge.
How many times you going to let these charges work?
Pray for America
Facts need to be discussed and vetted. Lying smear jobs based on rumor and innundo are not vetting.
The fact that Politico and Rove cannot back up any of their lying smears here demonstrate this is a gutter slime whisper campaign, not vetting.
Time for the accusers to either put up or shut up. They have made an accusation, Cain has refuted it. So now their either need to document their accusation or recant it.
Exactly correct, all part of the vetting process. One of the appealing things about experienced candidates that the media hate like Sarah or Newt is that they are completely vetted, nothing left in the closet. Candidates new to the national scene are much more risky since just about everyone has stuff in the closet that they would like to keep in the closet.
I agree.
While Politico presented the story as a typical hit job (Headline: Cain accused of sexual harrassment; body of article: but it was investigated and there was no there there), and that's not fair journalism, if the complaints were made, they were made. And that needs to come out now and be addressed.
Personally, I think this story reminds people of so much that is wrong with Liberal policies and the way they distorted the workplace and the legal system.
This story broke SUNDAY NIGHT for crying out loud. Cain had an entire day of media access and press interviews and somewhere during that time he had to find out what in the world was going on, what his accusers were saying, if there were any non disclosure documents and such - which I’m sure it took a bit for the NRA to piece together information and do it between interviews all day long.
Sounds like you would have preferred the perfect politician sound byte. I could care less if Cain doesn’t have the perfect polished answers, as long as he DOES the right thing.
