Someone sued you and you settled??? I really don't want to know what you did. But it explains why you have taken the pro Cain position.

Why assume he did anything?

equal or worst?

Does it have to be something equal or worse to what Clinton did to make you lose respect for them?

Good question. I would say it would matter if our was a criminal act while POTUS.
Any can make mistakes but to owe up to them will keep my respect.
On the other hand, a criminal act lose my respect forever.

I haven't taken ANY position :)

And I did nothing..... ie. Settled a claim that had no merit.

I don't mind telling the story. An idiot contractor walked into a hardhat area on one of my jobsites without his hardhat. (He signed a contract saying he would wear the helmet) He ended up taking a large piece of plaster to the head. Even though I would have won (signed contract) paying him off was cheaper than my legal fees. Oh, and I did spread the word to make sure he never worked again. :)

I also paid $500 for some "missing" gold coins a customer claimed one of my workers took. She found them later and repaid the money. She was elderly and had hid them from workers but forgot where. :lol:

I know but that was last month and this is now. Rick Perry was the front GOP runner and look where he is now. I am not happy with any of the candidates and that include Obama. We just had our election for mayor in my city and only person ran and that was in mayor already in office! So I had no one to vote for. It is get frustrating not having any good candidates to vote for.
I don't think Cain would do good in New Hampshire with his 999 tax bill. NH has no sale taxes and I can't see people wanting to go from having zero sale tax to 9% sale taxes. I know people that live in Mass. and close to NH do all of their shopping in NH . I shop in NH to save money too.

I was under the impression that settling encourages more law suits and ends up being more costly in the long run. Especially for larger businesses.

FYI, and try to keep up with the facts, Cain did not give them any money.

Thank you for this post. I have saying for years that POTUS Clinton disgraced the Oval Office and this whole country.

Your original post referred to them as POTUS, so I'm assuming you meant they are elected and did something equal or worst than Clinton did as POTUS.

Cain hasn't owned up to anything, and you are already clearing your plate to congratulate and forgive him for his possible admission. Meanwhile, you rip Clinton several times, and bring JFK (another Dem) into the mix.

In your book, it only counts if a Democrat does it. The rest of your comments prove it. Play the Independent voter card again, please. I need the laughs.
 
:hmm: Cain's "Princess Nancy" comment on a national stage is not going to help his cause. Poor judgement

not really. what do you think why Walmart is doing just fine and still reaping in profits despite of having at least few dozens lawsuits per year?

because it's politic. I get to assume anything.

but you.... you assume he's innocent. why?
Click to expand...

I didn't assume anything. I noticed someone assumed guilt and just wondered why.
 
Here is the opinion peice I mentioned earlier concerning settlements:

Cain would win in court, but this is politics - CNN.com


How would the court system, America's formal arbiter of truth, evaluate the competing claims?

The courts would refuse to even consider them. In the legal world, courts scrupulously enforce statutes of limitations on accusations of improper or criminal conduct. The rules exist because it is unfair to force the accused to defend against a charge of ancient vintage. Witness memories and evidence have grown stale and the courts believe that evidence is best evaluated and most reliable when it is fresh.

The rare exceptions to this rule almost always involve the abuse of children and particularly heinous crimes like murder. The law provides no sanctuary for women who seek to resurrect sexual harassment claims from as distant as 14 years in the past.

Although legitimate claims deserve compensation, the sex harassment litigation story has a seedy underside. False complaints are sometimes rewarded with generous monetary awards and then hidden from public view with confidentiality agreements and sealing orders.

Employment lawyers are accustomed to meeting with CEO clients who are initially defiant and determined to resist a false claim of sexual harassment. They want their reputations and integrity preserved. But when a high-ranking executive is involved, the company rumor vine begins to grow. Depositions are taken. Employees are pulled out of the workplace to back one side or the other. Sterling reputations begin to bleed under the slash of a thousand paper cuts.

And of course, the litigation process is expensive for the company. Knowing this, experienced lawyers often urge even the innocent accused executive to agree to mediate claims informally and avoid the possibility of a very public and very embarrassing federal lawsuit. Legitimate victims are also urged to settle rather than risk losing at trial.

The article goes on to explain that Herman Cain has not lied:

Herman Cain said he never consented to the mediation process. The National Restaurant Association, through its board, might have negotiated its own deal with the two women who made allegations of sexual misconduct against Cain to avoid bad publicity and legal costs. Businesses will often "settle and seal" the case rather than endure the expense and embarrassment of defending even a falsely accused chief executive.

So it is certainly plausible that Herman Cain did not even know the details.

Well ... I told the guy, " umm ... You know she passed away right?".

Herman Cain is running for president because his listeners asked him to. According to this person, Coretta was one of his fans.

Says volumes about the intelligence level and the level of their knowledge of what is actually happening of Cain supporters.:laugh2:
 
Steinhauer said:
Like I said, I have no way of verifying it. But it is highly possible that their families knew each other.
Click to expand...

So you are going to stand behind your statement that Coretta Scott King is endorsing Cain?:laugh2:

BTW, it is despicable that anyone would even attempt to degrade Coretta Scott King by linking her with this circus known as the Cain campaign. Even if the woman has been dead for years.
