Oh boy. Looks like we have yet another RepubliCON pervert on our hands.
I hope I see you Anthony Weiner critics squealing for his head.

This will be the end of Herman Cain!!

Hilarious!

GOODBYE “HERB”

LOL

Zzzzzzzzzz……….

Republicans don’t know right from wrong, so this will not affect Cain’s candidacy.

You have to understand that Republicans literally don’t understand the difference between consensual sex and sexual harassment.  If you don’t believe me, just ask one.

lmao…….no spinning today? lol………..cat (or pussy, regarding the sitaution) got your tongue? 

A cash settlement in this context is not good for an aspiring politician, regardless of his/her political affiliations. 

If it’s confirmed by other sources, then this may create very big problems. It won’t go away by itself.

People will pose the question of ‘why pay a settlement if you are innocent?’ 

No offense, but the business community knows that it’s better to offer a cash settlement to say “We know he didn’t do this, but the visuals of a trial would be bad so we’ll offer you this cash money to leave this job and to drop this case.” Simple as that.

Litigation is tedious. And this is a case that could’ve had bigger media appeal so it was better to brush it under the rug. I think that this was a non-case that the NRA lawyers just wanted to make go away and so this is the easiest plan of action.

I expect this all to be a non-issue.

Why pay a settlement if you’re innocent and as head of the National Restaurant Association how could he not have known about a settlement?

Especially since his denial.
Should have listened to Rove.

You spelled it wrong.

Good luck.
Lib does it, he’s a perv.
(R)egressive does it, it is the Corrupt Librul Medias fault

I think it’s worth noting that Cain served as both CEO and Chairman of the National Restaurant Association.

So when he says he didn’t know what “they” did with respect to cash settlements, he’s effectively saying he doesn’t know what HE did with respect to cash settlements.

Either that or he’s saying he was a horrible CEO and Chairman.

He’s denying just like Weiner did at first, give it two weeks and he’ll be admitting the women were paid but not because he was guilty but just to make it go away.

Because the visuals of a trial are worse business-wise in some cases than just paying someone to go away.

Were the individuals that sued, employees that then left the company after the settlement? If so, then I think that’s the case.

This could essentially just a be a buy-out contract of sorts.

This is a fair criticism.

However, if we applied this same logic, then Obama lost us at least $535,000,000. And if that’s the case, I would rather have a person that paid out a cash settlement for a silly case versus someone that lost billions of dollars.

It’s also worth noting that Obama attended a church led by Jeremiah Wright so he’s effectively saying that….well you can finish the rest. (The only difference is that there is not an NDA involved.)

I think there’s a lot of hyper-speculation that is unwarranted so I find all of the hyperventilating hilarious. Cain was never going to be the Presidential candidate.

Sadly, none of these facts are likely to penetrate the craniums of Cain’s supporters. They’ll reflexively assume that any and all negative stories are naturally evidence of liberal media bias. If they weren’t put off by his ignorance about foreign affairs, his murkiness about abortion rights or the completely unworkable math behind 999 plan, this ain’t going to do it either. These people are beyond reach. 

Tea partiers:  Please elect him!

The layers of approval that Solyndra required — over not one, but TWO administrations — was extraordinary. Furthermore, the failure of betting on the wrong alt energy company was at least in pursuit of a worthwhile goal. Not so much in the case of burying (alleged) harassment charges. 

It does happen. Some people pay these things to go away because litigation is too costly and time-consuming. But the campaign’s explanations have trickled out in such a painfully awkward way that they’ve brought a lot more suspicions on themselves than they ever would have had they issued a clear story at the beginning. They had ten days to formulate an answer. They failed. 

Possibly, had this been just one case of alleged ‘he said, she said sexual harassment.’

…But, people are suggesting more than one!

He’s not a celebrity, he’s an aspiring politician aiming for the Presidency.

Must be why the cash is rooooolling in!

CASH SETTLEMENTS are really a bugger to explain…

Must be why bj forked over $850,000, right?

 I think your math is a little off there.

It’s true that this does happen a lot. But their denials have collapsed like a cheap camera. They had ten days to formulate an answer that made sense, but chose this route. It smells very bad.

Paula Jones agreed to drop her sexual harassment lawsuit against
President Clinton on Nov. 13 in return for $850,000

It might be a non-issue in the business world but in a the campaign for President it is a big deal. It’ll follow him through the primary and will probably cost him support from family-values voters, possibly women’s groups etc.
It wont kill his campaign, but it will do some damage.

No- this makes it look like he was  Democrat in the’90s.

Too bad he didn’t send out “dick shots” ; he would get your vote and the Dem vote!

So, none of these women have names or identities? Zipper Bubba’s victims were real people: Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willey; but in today’s Politico/McGinniss era of “journalism”, any figment, any hologram will do.

Herman- send out dick shots and get the Dem votes as well!

LOL

What are their names?  Why are they being withheld?  Is the corrupt, liberal media afraid they won’t be able to stand up to scrutiny?   When a woman accuses a liberal, their life is torn apart, but here we aren’t even allowed to know who the accuser is.  Seems a little odd. 

So your theory is because their names haven’t been released it’s a devious conspiracy created by the liberal media to take Cain out of the primary for…some reason…?

All everything is now is alleged. That’s what the NDA is for and I don’t care if it’s for 2 or 222.

And no he’s not. He wants to sell books. :)

I told you on the other Herman Cain ad to not talk to me. Please heed that wish.

Yawn…

No, it won’t.

LOL!

Solyndra is not the only monies that I’m talking about.

Let’s not even talk about the blood on Obama’s hands, to steal a phrase from the Dems. against Palin.

Now please, you keep talking to me. I don’t know why. We don’t get along. I’ve asked you to not talk to me. :)

I guess it’s no wonder he completely dodged the issue when he spoke at AEI this morning. They wouldn’t even take questions on the subject.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/think-tanked/post/herman-cain-addresses-9-9-9-but-not-sexual-harassment-claims-at-aei/2011/10/31/gIQAnJjJZM_blog.html

I don’t know enough about war topics to comment on them. But as I grow older, losing money is losing money. Hence why I objected to our involvement in the Middle East under Obama. Bear in mind, I’m in my 20s. :)

I know….my educated self is soooo tricked. You’re soooo right on soooo many issues.

 It will kill his campaign-which was pronounced dead at 6:33AM EST

I guess Mr. Cain will be getting his next pizza to go.

Legally, they have to be I believe. If either of the two (if both received monies) spoke out, they would have to rescind all monies to the trust or firm (depending how things were set up).

I don’t think Cain is clean. I don’t think Politico is clean – they’re never clean. And I don’t think the Perry campaign is clean. Thankfully, neither Cain nor Perry, is “my guy”. :)

Smile – the Dems will have NO ONE to run after 2012. That is the saving grace. Otherwise, I think all the politicians are bad this go around.

you summed it up nicely

Its not a matter of right and wrong, sometimes its a matter of how fast you can make it disappear regardless if your guilty or not

applying this to Cain its usually quicker to pay off the accuser then it is to prove your innocence because contrary to what people may think about politicians, not all publicity is good, this would be damaging to his campaign and in todays ultra media hype would prob single handily bring it down
Under different circumstances he might have gone to court but hes a very public figure at the moment whose riding a high in polls, can’t afford to be side tracked by a trial

You’re right to object. We should have been out of there a long time ago.

get some sleep

‘…it was better to brush it under the rug.’

Brushing under a rug is red meat to the media

If Cain were a lib, there would already be libs on every network calling the women nuts and sluts.

I see.  You were talking about some secret money or something.

Is there some reason you’re posting under two different screen names at the same time?

The spin master has arrived!

“this makes it look like he was  Democrat in the’90s.”

In your 20′s…well that sure explains much about your ignorance. Noted.

So the National barak Channel has confirmed but refuses to provide the facts….just like Politico.  These hate mongers on th eleft just can’t stand the real black man can they?

I wonder why the National barak Channel has never divulged Obama’s college records or the information about his SNN?  Oh that’s rightr, cuz Obama is the democrat black (half) man.

Oh look, its rubeboy!

Yeah smile-no chance of Hillary running in 2016!

LOL

Shut it Steven.

Lol!! NBC News has to confirm something that Herb Cain is afraid to admit!! Looks like the cover-up is really going to take Herb down!!

Hey who do you think you’re talking to? -snicker-

Herman Cain = Bill O’Reilly

I agree and it is settled.  President Obama and his AG are directly responsible for the deaths of the border agents, and any one else who died, as a result of “Fast and Furious” and President Obama is responsible for the irresponsible “green loans.”  Now, we know these aforementioned series of events happened.  Where is the proof that the pay-offs were made in the allegaions against Candidate Cain?  Is Dan Rather the NBCer who is saying he has the evidence?

He’s done. Put a fork in his silly ass.

A dirty joke told by Cain at a pizza convention caused 12 ladies to
faint. After being hospitalized for trauma, they retained a lawyer for
class action.

Was Cain convicted of sexual harassment? Is there ANY proof he sexually harassed anyone?
Do you even know what you are talking about?

Was Cain convicted of sexual harassment? Is there ANY proof he sexually harassed anyone?
Do you even know what you are talking about?

Predict much?

No it’s not. Obama’s brushed tons of stuff under the rug.

The media in America is a failure.

Rick Perry is ruthless.

I operate two Disqus accounts. I was using the other one and accidentally posted under that one. That’s all. I manage two because I’ve been stalked on the one from people on this site (not only by Dems) so I do my best to only post under one on this site.

You should ask RRE why he has about 20 handles. The rest of us want to know.

Was that meant to be a comeback? 

No wonder your ex-husband left you! You got no humour……

There are plenty of scandals. Just wait.

The ObamaCare gauntlet comes down next year. Fast and Furious. There are more Green companies going bell up. This Administration is a dismal failure on all accounts.

Poor thing, that’s all ya got?

It’s Halloween ; you must be  possessed by a retarded ghost.

Like most of the news it’s all made up

oops
logged in wrong name

All everything is now is alleged.

Sheesh.
Looking pathetic today.

Two stories now, and none of which even HINTS at what was deemed ‘inappropriate’ or sexual behavior.   I am sure if this was Barack Obama, the media would be fuming that it’s racist since the sources aren’t identified, even the conduct itself is not identified.  What is alleged?  What are the sources?   Unnamed, unknown.  Try fighting that… 

Media folks really think voters are stupid, don’t they.  Obama was a cocaine user, my guess is a bunch of dirt was available on his background.   No need to make it up.

Go, Cain, go.  The establishment and the media is after you…  Bill Clinton had lots of bad behavior, but I’d take his presidency over the failed Obama presidency any time!

Quite the opposite.  Remember Bill Clinton.  He had a massive ‘bimbo’ problem, this is NOTHING by comparison.   Unnamed sources, unknown details.  In fact, his campaign money will go up as many of us don’t trust the established parties and don’t trust the media.

As Clinton said, it’s the economy stupid… 

What are you talking about, the Bush administration accepted the application, the actuaries that looked at the loan not only told the Obama administration that the loan was ill advised, but they also predicted the exact month and year that Solyndra would go bankrupt.  It seems to me that the analysis was very accurate and clear, the administration simply did not care, what’s a half of billion dollars, the photo op will be incredible, and it’s not our money anyway plus we can always print more…..

More over Solyndra will just be the first of many as the whole program was poorly managed as it was considered a pet project of this administration so reason and sound investing principles were thrown out the window. Here we have the $100,000 electric car that will only go some 32 miles on it’s batteries before it converts itself into a gas hog…. now they have only been able to deliver 2 of those cars in 2 years… how long before they go out. Behind that we have a second solar company that is really iffy… The list goes on… buy your popcorn now and just sit back, the show is about to begin.

When you go to the mind reader, do you get half price?

“ObamaCare,” as you call it, was passed by Congress. You have to learn how our country works before you can participate.

ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz….

It looks like you’re using multiple accounts so you can recommend your own posts.

Bill Clinton had substance. Cain is an empty vessel. 

If it was settled by an insurance company it is quite possible that the settlement amount would have been LESS than fighting it in court. He could be innocent but the downside of losing in court might have been too steep to roll the dice. Settle for cheap money and make it go away.

Blame the media!!!!

Blame the media!!!

I”m always amazed how someone with webbed fingers manages to operate a keyboard. How do you do it, swamp thing? 

Really, this is such a tired talking point, even after only three hours. 

This is Herman Cain’s scandal. It has nothing to do with Clinton. Period. Grow up.

Get over your sanctimonious self, you dems never got rid of Kennedy.  I am not trying to defend Cain, he is not going to make it anyway and this should be enough to reverse his so far good fortune.  I will point out to you however that yours is the party that never skipped a beat in returning Teddy Kennedy to office after he murdered that young woman in the Chappaquiddick river.  Not only did you return him to the Senate but your party has consistently hailed him as one of the great legislators of our times.  

The kid that grew up across the street from us was a really sweet super-nice kinda nature loving child.  He had never been in any trouble what so ever and was engaged to be married to a nice young woman.  He had a drink or two to many and got behind the wheel of a car… he is now serving a 22 year term in prison, it was his first and only offense but it is what it is as manslaughter is considered murder without intent.  

So say what you will about republicans overlooking this incident with Cain, it remains to be seen as this story is young and we don’t know the actual facts, but I can see Cain dropping in the poles and eventually writhing and dropping from the vine…  as you sit and squeal about the moral corruptness of his republican supporters…  I need only to point to history to show you the moral corruptness of you and your democratic brethren…  Oh! but no one can be holier than thou as you are a democrat, that alone speaks to your purity of soul! ROFLMAO

The past tells us that’s absolutely the truth.  I think we all remember the “bimbo eruptions” of the Clinton era.  The liberals did their best to destroy those woman, while protecting the serial abuser of women/rapist. 

Are you seriously denying that the media treats these “scandals” differently depending if they are R’s or D’s?

Tee hee!  Ole’ Hermie is a lil’ liar isn’t he?  Oh, this has been a most enjoyable Monday.  What an amateur.

We done yet?  I was wondering which thread it was before we identify why, where or who we had sex with when.

That has to stop.  

And if people have something to say why did they wait 20 years until now?

I am not a Cain fan.

I almost liked you for a moment.

I’d love Tommy’s take on this.

Tommy,
Do you think the media covers these types of “scandals” equally and not based on if they have an R or a D behind their name?  I’d love your honest opinion. 

Mmmmmm that Bozell kool aid is tasty!

It’s so easy just to comment how sex is a two street and we both enjoy what we both gain from a blah blah blah blah..

I imagine the restraining order/ judges order expired.

And he can’t run away from something that is factual.  If a public record has been hidden for 20 years and now is open…well, there you have it.

He certainly ain’t perfect anymore.

For a restraining order you would have to go to the police. There is no evidence of that. This seems like a couple employees complaining to management and then receiving a payoff. Where did you find anything dealing with courts?

Absofuckinglutely. 

Every scandal has its own dynamic and its own set of features that make it attractive to the media. The press went light on Republicans Vitter and Ensign (who kept their jobs), but gave 24-hour blanket coverage to Democrats Eliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner (who lost their jobs). Why? A lot of reasons, none of which had to do with their political leanings. 

You really want to believe this whole liberal media fantasy, Michelle, but unfortunately, the facts just don’t play along. 

They you are a delusional moron who isn’t worth my time. 

As I answered you in another thread, why don’t we ask David Vitter and John Ensign (both R’s who kept their jobs) if they got the same 24-hour blanket media attention as Eliot Spitzer and Anthony Weiner (both D’s who lost theirs)? The answer: they didn’t. The media went light on them, in spite of their serious transgressions — and in spite of their obvious conservative leanings. 

Every scandal has its own dynamic and it has little or nothing to do with whether someone’s got an R or a D by their name. We all know you want desperately to cling to this notion that there’s this big bad libruhl media out to destroy conservatives, but unfortunately for you, the facts just don’t play along.

Hey Black America,
Aren’t you listening to your Liberal Masters?

They said to keep yo’ ass on the Democratic Plantation…or they’ll have NBC, the NY Times, and the rest of THEIR MEDIA “CAIN” you! – That’s where the media promotes Democratic narratives to smear any opposition!

“SMEAR” the Left-Wing sellouts of the Mainstream Media by exposing the truth whenever you can!

Cain talking to Greta:

Van
Susteren asked what Cain did that led to the accusation. There were
reportedly more than one accusations in the complaint, but Cain said he
recalled just one incident. “She was in my office one day, and I made a
gesture saying — and I was standing close to her — and I made a gesture
saying you are the same height as my wife. And I brought my hand up to
my chin saying, ‘My wife comes up to my chin.’” At that point, Cain
gestured with his flattened palm near his chin. “And that was put in
there [the complaint] as something that made her uncomfortable,” Cain
said, “something that was in the sexual harassment charge.”

If this is the extent of this story, Politico will look very bad. 

No Marc, we just saw Poltico’s Jonathan Martin have an Elliot Spitzer bowl movement.

Ghosts don’t exist

No name of this mysterious accuser? Well NBC, mission accomplished.

I don’t care as long as he respects the Constitution, can fix the economy and doesn’t hang out with communists or union bosses. Didn’t see PBO getting vetted like this….if at all

Would Obama?? How about REid?

That’s why I say if this is all they have… It will take more than that compared to sitting and past POTUS’s

I’ve read that the payments to these women were severance packages and not “cash payments” to settle any claim.  I guess you can correctly characterize them as “cash payments” but it is misleading when you unequivocally state it was a settlement payment. I’ve seen several women make discrimination claims when getting ousted.  Was this a case of “hostile environment” discrimination (like poor Anita Hill having to listen to all that talk about Long Dong Silver) or quid pro quo discrimination (“Bone me or you don’t get promoted”)?  All we get is a little bald allegation that smears Cain.  Keep telling us why we have to vote for Obama, Tommy.  That is what you are paid to do.

I have two accounts. You may ask Mediaite to confirm this. :) One I use here. One I use elsewhere. Simple as that.

This could be the “lighten up” campaign year….If Clinton slides compared to this? What a stretch POLITICO. And I used to hold you a step above BSNBC.

ObamaCare is an epic failure. So I don’t really care who passed it because it was the Obama administration that handed out the waivers.

Boooooooom.

This is why he was included in my list of folks to avoid. :)

Exactly…. Plus these chicks just set themselves up for a media massacre…Doubt that was the plan…

This was done by the Perry campaign. Perry is essentially dunzo.

I will say this once because I’ve said it to you multiple times that you add NOTHING to this site.

All sex scandals have gotten their due. Republicans get far more press. Weiner wasn’t forced out of office because of his situation, but because of how he handled the situation. Deal with facts.

Now I am dunzo with you. Enjoy your evening.

Do you have a link?

So your saying if someone, not named, said you sexual harassed them and people all believed them with no proof, you’d be cool with that huh?  

All this does is put more money in his coffers and makes the left seem more and more racist…. Keep up the good work Tommy and the rest of your paid loons. Until they have PROOF its all just more bullchit. Once Obama loses there won’t be another Democrat to smell the Whitehouse in 20 years.. Unless the Democrats bring back the KKK. Though i see some on here are already members

Very shallow.

Bill Clinton had lots of bad behavior, but I’d take his presidency over the failed Obama presidency any time!

There is a mouthful.  And if Hilary had won, well, you know what they say at Wal Mart.  Two for the price of one.  What we got instead is “spend the government’s money without restriction on anyone who will vote for me.”

Very interesting. :)

Yeah, nevermind all that UNSOURCED BIRTH CERTIFICATE CRAP

NEVERMIND THAT ALL YOU ACTING HIGH AND MIGHTY

I guarantee you have no idea what “Obamacare” is.

Hmmmmmm

Say that someone accused you of sexual harassment vs. say that someone is AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT PRESIDENT

yyyyeeeeaaahhhhhh, they’re really going to be RUNNING IN MASS to vote CON

LOL

As you can tell by now, Cain is certainly no Clinton. LOL

Don’t remember the Weiner girl’s life being town apart, except by BREIT ART

I like your analysis here.  Vitter came forward immediately and had not catted around that much in comparison to the others.  Ensign really got off light.  He paid hush money through a third party (his parents).  And he was screwing his best friend’s wife.  Spitzer was way overboard in comparison to the others, yet strangely, I like him on TV.  But I tend to buy into the idea of a liberal slant to the political news.  Look how deep they dug for this “news” and how very little Obama was vetted.  One term state senator gets serendipitously into the US Senate and immediately announces he is running for President.  Had he been a conservative, the mainstream media would be birthers.

“Scandal?”  What has he done?

Hey! Who knew that the person at Mediaite who is most intent on further racializing Herman Cain as a sex crazed Black Man would be Tommy “Southern Strategy” Christopher!
Shocker!

Isn’t being a ‘paid loon’ preferable to being an unpaid loon, like yourself?

I’m sorry that you’re so upset that Herman turns out to be imperfect, although he is perfectly ridiculous, especially on abortion, but, hey, you’ve got to face the truth sometime.

And when did you come to believe that anyone takes you seriously as a political prognosticator?
Try to stay in the here and now. I know it’s more fun to time travel, but this way you’ll do better at your sanity hearing.

As for the KKK charge, they’re all teabaggers. But you already knew that.

I don’t need to be told why to vote for Obama.
I just look at the alternatives.
And listen to repugnantans in Congress.
But keep on defending the 1%. Maybe they’ll throw you a crumb.
Or not.

So will the Restaurant Organization for paying her off with a five figure settlement.

I don’t think that makes any sense, Trevor. Republican elites are more likely to view laws as mere inconveniences (“Abortion should be illegal in all case, but women make the choice on whether or not to break the law” (Herman Cain)), but that is about it, as far as I can see. Some of my conservative/Republican friends (sometimes it is hard to tell the difference) are well-balanced when it comes to morals and sex — and resolute in their convictions. Harassing a woman is just something they’d never do.

Cain is Cain, and he should blame himself, not conservatism, his board of directors, or the media for this mess.

Please.
What would a trolll like you know about the truth?
 

su robert

You know that Michelle is immune to reason, logic, and facts.
Why do you bother?
She doesn’t even critcize the facts, just the fact of the coverage.
Liberals attack lies, conservs attack the truth.

“I will say this once because I’ve said it to you multiple times that you add NOTHING to this site.”Well put.
When did you master gibberish? In clown college?

And now you’re ‘dunzo’, is it?

And to paraphrase (that’s one of them fancy words that means to quote with changes, while preserving the original meaning) Woody Allen, “I’d love to continue this conversation, but I have an appointment back on Planet Earth.”

Steve, you must still be in school.  Do you realize that 40 cents of every federal dollar spent is borrowed from the Chinese?  If you don’t speak up and stop this, by the time you are my age the government will take over half your paycheck, like in France.  And when things aren’t going so well over there, the government is broke and can’t do much of anything, so they just riot.  Is this where we are headed with OWS?

Hey Republicans!
Who will be your favor of the month for November?
LOL

It’s not a failed presidency, despite a lot of conservaslobs who say so, despite the fact that they don’t want him to succeed anyway, despite the fact that they’ll never vote for him under any circumstances.

Moron.

How witty.
You pathetic slob.

How far was he going, anyway?
Really.

How much will you be sending?

Wtf is his SNN?

People get severance deals all the time.  Where is your source for the payments being a strict settlement of a discrimination claim? And this reference “five figure settlement.”  Woo Hoo !  That’s a yuppie paycheck.

“Seems a little odd”

Whereas you seem extremely odd.

That implies that your time is actually worth something.

And is a lame excuse for the lack of a response.

If you’re here, it’s to argue, and trade shots.
If you’re worried about wasting time, stay home.
You’re not fooling anyone.

Vitter hadn’t catted around much?
Not according to the New Orleans madam, who counted him among her best, and kinkiest, customers.
Kinkiest because of his dirty diaper fetish.
I mean, what’s so bad about clean diapers?

WC in WI

Get real.
If you avoid anyone, it’s because you can’t deal with them without looking like a fool.
Although, in your case, you look that way before you start.

If your grandmother had balls, she’d be your grandfather.

That was old when I was young.
What a collection of retreads you wrong-wingers are.

Yes.
And Larry Craig and Mark Foley, too.

It’s called “grasping at straws’.
It’s reflexive amongst the lower level of thinkers.

He doesn’t have to be cool with it, Nor do you.
It’s called hardball politics.
If you cant take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Either he’s a big boy, or he isn’t.
And if repugnantans can’t take it, they shouldn’t dish it out.
See: Swift Boat Campaign, 2004.

” If they weren’t put off by his ignorance about foreign affairs….”

Put off by it?
They’re turned on by it.
They identify with ignorance.
For obvious reasons.
Just read their posts here, and extrapolate to the entire wrong-wing.

Do you? You’re desperately trying to defend a man who already lied.

That’s right. Just blame the media. Maybe it will go away….

Maybe he’s just lying.

His failure to get Bin Ladin being just one example.

you sure are…

How do you know it was done by the Perry campaign?

Tina, hows Sarah’s campaign doing?  If you recall, I predicted what she would do, and she never disappointed me.   Are you still a follower like her few remaining dillusional supporters at C4P.  It forever amazes me how some people can fall for a false and dishonest facade and never once ask the important questions and details that would otherwise take down the false facade.  As Palin’s star fades in the sky, she can laugh all the way to the bank with her supporters money they believed was going to a worthy cause.  Her supporters may not be the most intelligent people on earth, but I feel very sorry for those who gave her money thinking she could save the world into what they imagined it should be.  I feel even worse for those who gave because of the SarahPac letter sent out 2 weeks before she finally confessed.  Her political career is ruined, and her stint on FOX News is about to end.  Her endorsements will also mean very little to those she endorses and will not change the outcome in any election.

So that’s how Buch financed the Iraq war without raising taxes?

My speaking up is directed at growing the economy through needed public works projects, like FDR did the last time the economy was this bad.

I don’t believe that’s what OWS is about, but I believe that you do.

My source is the news coverage that we’ve all heard, that you don’t like, and therefore can’t believe. But I can.
They didn’t get an ordinary ‘severance deal’, and it’s disingenuous of you to say so.
And what’s your point with  the five figure settlement” remark? It’s not enough to impress you? Any amount is proof of his actions. And five figures could be one dollar under 100 thou.

But this isn’t about convincing you that it’s true; it’s about you trying, and failing, to convince us that it’s not.

They didn’t wait. They complained and got a settlement.
But Herman wasn’t running for president then.
Now he is.
Now it’s news.
Glad to help.

Very not deep.

For a party that espouses rugged individualism and self-reliance, it’s amazing how much bitching, blaming, and denial they practice.

Actually, not all that amazing, considering that hypocrisy is the underpinning of their entire platform.

I forgot to bring this up in my last comment to you, but the President or any of the GOP candidates are not required to devulge their college transcripts.  With his accomplishments at Harvard, and the graduating honors he recieved during graduation, I don’t think any of the GOP candidates are going to be asking to see his transcripts if they offer to show their’s.  Also, in reply to you stupid and pointless question as to why Politico has not tried to devulge his transcripts, why hasn’t the Republican channel FOX News, tried to do the same.  Besides, to get his college transcripts like anyone, he has to give his authorization first before they are released.  I would have loved to seen Sarah’s transcripts if she would have allowed them to be release.  I see your also a racist after viewing your remark.

And conservatives did their best to exploit them.

Name one.
Or shouldn’t you have offered that example with your accusation?

The media’s not the failure. But your argument(s) is.

I’m trying to make sense out of that inanity, but it can’t be done.

I have interacted with hundreds of women in my professional life.  Somehow I have managed to conduct myself in such a way that not one has ever accused me of harassment.  I have also managed to have never place myself in situations where such accusations would be considered plausible or credible; let alone be sufficient to necessitate the issuance of a five-figure check and a non-disclosure statement prior to a woman quitting (or being forced to quit) after my interaction with her.  

This happened not once, but twice with Herman Cain – in the same organization he led.

Whether or not you believe these allegations, it is hard to accept that the National Restaurant Association would never have asked Cain about these matters before cutting two five-figure checks (no small slice of a quarterly operating budget).  For Cain to first suggest he knew nothing about the matters alleged is a bit hard to take.

Further, if my employer had to ask two other employees to leave because of issues related to my conduct (alleged or otherwise), and felt that whatever happened merited paying the departing employees five figures each; I would be fired, and I would not soon find employment anywhere in my entire industry.

Why does Cain expect as a pass, when none of us would ever get one in a similar circumstance?

Singing a song wouldn’t get me out of it.  I am not buying the “let Herman, be Herman” bit anymore.

Righto, pal. Bush screwed it up big time with whole Iraq adventure, not the least of which was the total failure to pay for it.  It got the “bad curve” started. 

But Michelle is just such an easy target. Is that mean of me? 

This gave me the biggest laugh of the night. 

As you’d say, rent free. 

I answered your question with actual facts and details. This is your response to me? 

No wonder you’re considered an idiot and a loon. 

You’ll have to decide for yourself if her remarks should be allowed to go unanswered.
But she’s doing her best to be mean to you.
And failing miserably.

You know, David.
Don’t be coy.

Wasn’t Bush spending that much every DAY in Iraq?

What “blood on Obama’s hands”?
Osama bin Ladin?
Seriously, dude, you’re out of your league here.

WC in WI

They’re out to get me, too.
We have a Paranoids Anonymous meeting every week.
But I can’t tell you where.

Like most of the news?
How about, like ALL of your crap?

Not to mention Larry Craig and Mark Foley.

That’s rigjht.
And now they expected Obama to fix it in 4 months, the length of time he was in office before the bitching started.
And worse yet, wouldn’t work with him, but chose to obstruct him, because they were mad about losing the election.
I didn’t vote for Obama, I voted against Palin. It was instant hate.

Who was Paula Jones and who had to pay her a huge cash settlement?

Who was Juanita Broaddrick and who did she accuse of rape?

Who was Monica Lewensky and who stained her blue dress with semen?

Who is Larry Sinclair and in his book, (“Sex, Lies & Murder”)  who did he snort coke with and then had sex with in the back of a limousine?

Who reading from a teleprompter called his wife Michael?

“As for the KKK charge, they’re all teabaggers”

Odd, it is the OWS fleabaggers who the KKK, American Nazi Party, American Communist Party and David Duke all support.

“Was this a case of “hostile environment” discrimination…”

Ask the women in the Obama white hut  if it is a hostile work environment for women.

Crumbs?  You  bums are the crumb crunchers, you will support any politician who doles out freebies to you lazy mooching losers.  Hell, I would take one hard working illegal immigrant for any 25 of you worthless trash.

How is Obama fianciing his three new wars?

They were too busy looking up Sarah Palin’s uterus to be bothered vetting the jug eared ONE.

Stop, that might only confuse him more.

I miss Bill!

Yeah, a ruthless drunk.

First of all, I’m not a Democrat. Furthermore, I was no fan of Kennedy’s. But this was four decades ago. How about sticking a little closer to 2011? 

I stand by my statement that Cain’s supporters are rubes. They’ve already got TONS of evidence that this guy is a lightweight who’s in WAY over his head, and yet they keep boosting him in the polls. 

Your flavor of the month in November will be to back a Democrat?
 Well your making progress, but Bill can’t run again.
 I miss Bill!

One way to find out if there is any merit to her claim is for her to give back the $35,000, then she would be free to air her complaint! Any bets on whether she will???
