Romney: Cain allegations 'particularly disturbing'

Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney says allegations that rival Herman Cain groped a former employee are "particularly disturbing" and must be addressed.

Romney told ABC News/ Yahoo! on Tuesday that he will not judge whether Sharon Bialek's claims against Cain are true. He declined to say whether they are disqualifying.

...

Romney .. "These are serious allegations and they're going to have to be addressed."

-——It appears the courts are going to rule obama care is constitutional-——

What evidence do you have for that?

[Diogenesis]

Whenever Team Romney had rumors they wanted to start about other candidates,
Jonathan Martin has been their go-to guy to get those rumors in writing in front of a national audience.

“And The Most Irresponsible Journalist Award Goes to The Politico’s Jonathan Martin!
So tell me, how do you write a “news” story about an organization paying for a speaker when you don’t even know if the organization is paying for the speaker?
Ask “journalist” Jonathan Martin. He knows all about it.
You see, Jonny wrote a piss poor story the other day about how the Iowa Family Policy Center will be paying a large speaker fee if Sarah Palin comes to Iowa to keynote the IFPC’s fall funderaiser.
The only problem is that Jonny has no sources confirming that any exorbitant fee is being charged or paid.
Jonny also got some inside info from David Kochel, who was a top aide to former (and future) presidential candidate, Mitt Romney.
Hey Dave, didn’t I just read a story about how Mitt Romney tried to buy off the Iowa Christian Alliance?
I heard you helped facilitate that little scheme. And somehow you are shocked at the thought of a well-known political figure (who very likely isn’t running for president) getting paid a speaker’s fee for (gasp) a public speaking appearance? ..
and then we’ve got Tim Albrecht quoted. He was the Iowa spokesman for Romney’s 2008 caucus campaign.”
And it always seemed like, whenever the Romney people had rumors they wanted to start about other candidates,
Jonny was their go-to guy to get those rumors in writing in front of a national audience.

“particularly disturbing”

Compared to what? Illegal immigrant employees, no. But for a sex scandal, it is ho-hum.

Excuse me, Perry has said nothing critical of Cain on this matter.

Ron Paul may not know Cain exists and Gingrich has his own baggage.

[Thunder90]

If you think Cain has it bad now, just wait until the MSM gets ahold of Newt’s past. 2 ex wifes, multiple relationships, messy divorces, ect. Plus, an issue with recent policy flip flips will do Newt in. Then, we are stuck with Romney.

Got zotted.

The DC court of appeals ruled today, or yesterday, that it is not against the constitution for congress to mandate insurance be bought. One of the judges was appointed by Reagan.

I saw her on FOX News were the interviewer noted that she lived for a time in the same apartment as Azzholerod and asked if she knew him. The woman said she saw him but did not know him. Seems that is another lie.

[JaguarXKE]

Hey Mittens, the fact that you are a flip- flopping ass hat with no core values is a serious allegation that needs to be addressed!!!!

[DTxAg]

The lawsuit did not involve the same David Axelrod that works for Obama.

Oh, I see.

What a complete tool this guy is. If I could register any more disgust for him than I already have, then I'd do it. Trouble is, I can't.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Romney is such a pig.

[normy]

Mitt is not going to be the nominee.

Cain was never supposed to be the nominee.

Gingrich is not going to be the nominee.

Rick Perry is going to be the nominee.

Once tempers subside and logic starts taking back over, it's clear that Perry is going to beat Mitt for the nomination and we'll all thank God Perry didn't drop out when he tanked in the polls and we'll all thank God he has a real ground game in all 50 states. And we'll all thank God he has as much money as Mitt to combat him nation wide.

[MNJohnnie]

Rick Perry is never going to be the nominee.

Once people have an expectation for you in politics (30% in the polls)and you fail to meet them (7% in the polls) they are not magically going to change back to respecting you. Once you lose the voters trust, it is almost impossible for a politician to get it back

That is not fair or right, it is human nature.

I’m sorry; this has been pointed out to you several times on several different threads. The Axelrod you cite is a DIFFERENT Axelrod. Bialek lived in the same swanky Lake Shore Drive building as THE David Axelrod, but says she had no dealings with him.

The lawyer is a DIFFERENT Axelrod.

[onedoug]

It strikes me that Mitt rhymes with another word.

[Brookhaven]

—Romney .. “These are serious allegations and they’re going to have to be addressed.”— Man, if that doesn’t deserve a captain obvious, I don’t know what does.

Someone posted it earlier in the thread:

But I didn't know until this day, that it was Barzini Romney all along.

[kevao]

The lawyer is a DIFFERENT Axelrod.

Maybe we should put that in Breaking News? We're starting to look stupid connecting her to the David Axelrod who is not David Axelrod.

[American in Israel]

If Mittins is the ticket, I will write in Sarah. If the RNC puts in Mittins, the RNC has to go.

[normy]

The reason Perry tanked was not the "you don't have a heart" comment or any policy issues. It was because after the 3rd debate, I believe, where Perry really looked bad, people were afraid he couldn't beat Obama.

Perry has shown over the last two weeks a new tact and renewed grasp of running a national campaign.

Perry has all the stats to beat both Mitt and Obama. He has all the money and all the ground game.

Perry is still in double digits nationally and the majority have not even made up their mind.

Don't forget also, you still have Palin and DeMint endorsements (even though Demint said he wouldn't. You have state governors endorsements, all which go to Perry because he knows them all.

I'm telling you keep your eyes peeled because Perry is gonna come out of this as the comeback kid.
