      Is Herman Cain claiming that there were never any sexual harassment claims against him, that the women never received payouts, and that Newt Gingrich never cheat on his wife?

      So does that mean all of those women were telling lies and there were no "settlements" or "agreements" by the NRA ???

        Off-topic, but your user name reminded me of the Gannon appearance at the White House presser. I was actually watching that live and immediately wondered, "Who is this guy?".

        Now I'm wondering what really took place when he visited the White House on those many occasions in which there was NOT a presser scheduled?

      I think there is a part of Cain that actually believes his own BS, that he was somehow persecuted. Again, it's textbook definition of being sociopathic. Today's "conservatives" wallow in this mindset. These clowns should all be pelted with rotten produce if they try to utter "conservative" pet phrases like, "party of family values", or "party of personal responsibility."

        Oh, I think he absolutely believes his own BS. Gingrich does to. The simple fact is that both of these men are absolute dogs. I could probably overlook one affair, but Newt is a repeat, repeat, repeat offender. And Cain is the same. And then they have the audacity to blame the fricken' media for THEIR flipping issues. It just ticks me off to no end. Clinton is a dog as well, but I don't see him blaming the media or anyone else for his indiscretions, which were widely and repeatedly reported.

      The media didn't lie Herman. They reported that the company you worked for paid out a few women due to allegations of sexual harassment on your part.

      The lying came from you as you tried to spin the story.

      Herman: You lied. You said nothing ever happened, and that you barely remembered the person, when in fact a SETTLEMENT was paid to them over the allegations, after an extensive investigation.

      YOU'RE A LIAR.

      And Gingrich? He's ADMITTED to the affairs. So, again: YOU'RE A LIAR. (A bigger liar than Gingraich apparently!)

      Herman, two women pressed complaints against you, and the lobbying organization that you worked for settled with them. The women did not come forward voluntarily, they were "outed" by others and merely confirmed the settlements. They didn't give any details, which probably saved you even further embarrassment. Sexual harrasment is a serious problem, you tried to blame your victims for coming forward. You called them liars. Frankly, that's dispicable on your part and speaks poorly about your character and fitness for office. If a man wants to cheat on his wife, and his wife knows about it, I don't really care, it's their marriage and their business. But when that man harrasses women and then accuses them of lying and damaging his career, I have no patience with the man. I've been in creepy situations and I said nothing, so when a woman is willing to bring a complaint and see it through, I know that something must have happened. So Herman, go home to your wife, and if she's willing to keep you, stay but don't blame others for your stupid mistakes. If you didn't want to embarrass your family, maybe you should have acted differently twelve years ago?

      If by lies and crap you mean "women we sexually harassed or had affairs with" then you're absolutely right.

      There's a warning boys get about not doing something or else they'll go blind. Who knew that thing was lying and cheating?

      Get your eyes checked Herman.

      Dear Ann Coulter,

      You wrote an entire book about liberal "victimhood."

      If you would like to write a sequel based on conservative/Republican victimhood, I think we have a lot of material available that you could use. You might even be able to make a multi-book series out of this one.

      No Herm! A few women who you had sexually harassed came forward, your philandering was reported, and you willingly suspended your campaign because you know there's not a chance in He!! that you'd have won your party's nomination.
