perhaps it's because he's running for the Office of President of the United States. A position in which he will be responsible for the lives of 400 Million Americans, not to mention the potential of impacting the Billions of people on the planet.
This isn't a mayoral, County Commissioner or even gubernatorial race. This is the person who will represent our country... the most powerful single person in the world. EVERY CANDIDATE SHOULD BE VETTED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. We SHOULD know about our candidates.
The bottom line is that Cain probably fucked up... Just like Weiner, Just like Edwards and Just like Gary Hart. They all paid the price for their mistakes... Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives.
But Cain should get a free pass because he's a Conservative? Bullshit. If Proven false, he will have passed that part of the gauntlet like path to the Presidency. If proven true... he will be what he deserves... a footnote in the GOP Primary.
the fact that you say "probably" is the problem.
There is no evidence...no witnesses.....just allegations.
Yet you see him as likely guilty.
The media paints him as guilty.
Heck, Chris Matthews cme right out and said
"it is OBVIOUS he did something terribly wrong. He should admit he was drunk and move on"
Yet...for every man that is accused of commiting sexual harrassment there are probably twice as many that were accused of it but didnt.
All such things start with allegations. Like I said... If he did nothing, why the payout? If he made the payout(s), then that information should be known by the voting public.
Well I just saw on the internet that someone who is an anonymous friend of an anonymous accuser is saying that her friend was sexually harassed by Obama 20 years ago.
I think he should resign don't you? Now there is no proof but it's the seriousness of the charge that counts.
And anonymous is an upstanding individual and would never lie according to her anonymous friend.
That happened today on CNN. Great freaking journalism. Anonymous who knows anonymous.What a smear job!
Oh and by the way. There were no settlements. Cain did not have anything to do with the severance packages.
Proves nothing, fuck all and nada.
