Very, very foolish on his part.

This will sink him. (Actually, he’s already sunk.)

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

In Its a Wonderful Life the Conservative hero George Bailey gave a girl sho was down on her luck and “out of work and had trouble paying her bills” and helped her leave town for a fresh start elsewhere..

and he was considered a nice guy for doing that...

But that was the 40s..

and George wasnt running for office...

I no longer believe him... at least in this case. You don’t hide the friendship + financial assistance from your wife unless there is more to it.

But wait, this can’t be.

Heck, over the past 2 days, several of the Cain’s FR people have been insisting she knew... so all was well.

I am sooo confused.

That’s not OK. I don’t care what his intentions were, spouses are supposed to share this kind of information. It reflects badly upon Mr. Cain.

Doesn’t disqualify him from being president in my opinion, but it does reflect poorly on him.

Jeez Lahwheeze! Listening to the Cain interview with Cavuto yesterday was Cain trying to get the patent on Denial.

This guy is completely finished. No doubts.

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.


Evidence? Like what? It could easily have been the occasional hookup, where he paid for everything (no receipts) and all she really has is dates and the like. Or she was just a “companion” he liked to hang out with more than his wife. Either are easily understood and explain why his wife had no knowledge of it.

Regardless, Cain’s other glaring political faults are the source of his demise...this just sheds a few social conservatives.

Not telling his wife amounts to "a lie"....13 years of "lies".

Even the idea that he needs his wife's approval to go on is an absurdity. She didn't know. He deceived her...and he wants her blessing?? He'll be lucky if he gets bread with his supper. He can always buy a pizza for $9.99.

At best he's a moron.
I was holding out hope for him; assuming he was a good hearted guy helping a down on their luck person. But of course his wife would be looped in in that scenario. A man doesn't hang with, and give money to a woman on a long term basis.

Any amount of common sense would know that would look bad; unless the mans wife was looped in.

“I no longer believe him... at least in this case. You don’t hide the friendship + financial assistance from your wife unless there is more to it.”

He’s an associate Pastor. He’s not going to be helping someone and not praying for them (with his wife). The fact that the wife knew nothing of her is the “smoking gun”.

We’ve been duped by Cain.

Time to dump him and move on.

Rule #1 in marriage: If you think your wife would get mad hearing it from somebody else, TELL HER YOURSELF. Happy Wife, Happy Life.

My thoughts are that Cain’s either 1)foolish, 2)lying, or 3)naive. None of these choices gives me warm fuzzies about voting for him.

If the “good deed” involves helping another woman financially without the knowledge of one’s wife,
____________________________________________________

Herman Cain is a multi millionaire

If he gave a person in need a $20 or even a $100 I doubt if he would miss it or think he had to report it to Momma...

Mrs Cain probably gives money here and there to good causes to that Herman doesnt demand to know about..

Its called trust...

He knows Gloria wont give money to Planned Parenthood behind his back..

She trusts him to not be sponsoring “girlfriends”

"He told the New Hampshire Union Leader that in about 70 text messages she sent him between Oct. 22 and Nov. 18, she was "asking for financial assistance."

This was a set up. That woman set him up so they could take him down

It's not innocent. He's been deceiving his wife for 13 years.

He signed two books for Ginger. One says "Friendships are forever. Everything else is a bonus".
