I can think of possible answers why these women are coming forward now:<br />1) Cain wasn't running for President until now.<br />2) They (or someone who is paying them) want to force Cain out of the Presidential race.<br />3) They don't like Cain.<br />4) Blackmail he refuses to give into.<br /><br />As far as I am concerned it is all "he said, she said" with no proof, no witnesses, no police report, and in fact no report of any kind open to the public. I will base my decision on Cain on his politics not alleged actions should be be on the ballot.<br /><br />Andy WhitemanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767127531333372490.post-42539510725075683202011-11-09T07:24:15.977-06:002011-11-09T07:24:15.977-06:00Clinton did it while in office.

Why are these women<br />coming forward now instead of years ago?<br />As usual something stinks in politics.<br />This to me is like asking a front runner if he still<br />beats his wife. Even if he never laid a hand on her<br />he can only answer no. Does that mean he has stopped or<br />he never did?<br />The news media should be looking into the women's background <br />as well as his. Keeping it on a fair playing level.<br />Remember, believe nothing you hear and only half of what<br />you see. Just because it is written or somebody says it<br />doesn't make it so.<br />By the way, I am neither for or against Cain. I have <br />just seen too many accusations like these that never<br />pan out. I would rather wait until something is proven.Pat Casadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02753840266376084738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767127531333372490.post-16127445239361648902011-11-09T06:59:34.323-06:002011-11-09T06:59:34.323-06:00good point about Cain and Clinton. so far the accu...good point about Cain and Clinton. so far the accusations about Cain have melted down to a he said she said type of argument.<br /><br />Clinton's playing around is well documented.<br /><br />Cains is not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767127531333372490.post-13001840286632728102011-11-08T22:53:54.544-06:002011-11-08T22:53:54.544-06:009:38PM, Unfortunately the NO voters didn't bo...9:38PM, Unfortunately the NO voters didn't bother to vote. It appears that the total vote was a mere fraction of all voters! The voters voted stupidly by not voting at all.<br /><br />9:31PM, Herman Cain's morals equal Bill Clinton's morals. The parties have a non-disclosure agreement so no one knows what really happened. I would prefer Cain to O'Bummer but I am waiting until closer to the primaries before I make a decision.
