Herman Cain Shrugs Off His Anita Hill Joke

Nope. And it just speaks to the overblown ego that he has. No wonder he says he "didn't do anything wrong" in the sexual harrassment claims. :roll: His ego tells him he is so far above everyone else that they can be treated any way he wants to treat them. That is the sense of entitlement I spoke about in the other thread.

I didn't bother voting for state senator or congressman because there were no one running against the Republican members.
 
Cain, the former CEO of Godfathers Pizza, has opted for defiance, firmly denying all allegations as he pushes his insurgent campaign toward the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses.

Cain slips in poll Private polling suggests the harassment controversy has taken a bite out of Cain's once-solid lead in Iowa. And a new nationwide CBS News poll out Friday indicates he has lost support among Republican women.

The CBS News poll said Cain's support among Republican women has dropped since late October, from 28 percent then to 15 percent now. Rick Perry tries humor while Herman Cain uses denial to deal with campaign stumbles | cleveland.com

If you wish to discuss Obama's activities, start your own thread. This one is in reference to the sexual harrassment claims against Herman Cain and the ineptness he has shown in handling them.

You do know how to start a new thread, don't you?

To answer your question

Yes, I do.

You will notice I was answering a question from a poster. So as much as you don't like it, I give respect to try to always answer someone's ?
And do it on the applicable thread, in otherwords, the ? was asked right here so I answered it right here.
 
Just asked my hubby what he thought of Cain...

he said, " He isnt a person I would follow into war...heck not even follow him to a baselball game. He doesnt project an aura of respect."

We have never discussed Cain until I recently texted him about it just 5 mins ago. Seems like my hubby got the same vibes I did about him. Interesting.

I didn't pay attention to Cain till this thread came up but from what I see, I don't think I'd trust him either.

I don't pay much attention to any of them until about next spring. Lots of things will happen that we have no part of between now and then. Once the primaries start, then I sit up.

Then there was his latest confusing “explanation” of the sexual harassment scandal.

Cain told Cavuto that he and his campaign were prepared for the sexual harassment scandal. “We did opposition research on myself… I told them about this Restaurant Association incident,” Cain said.

Considering the contradictory and confusing stories he’s given out, that was one heck of a bad oppo research job they did. But, of course, Cavuto didn’t have the bad manners to point that out.

Then came the even more bizarre conspiracy theory about who leaked the story to Politico in the first place.


“Here’s what we believe but we don’t have any facts so I’m not gonna accuse anybody. People who do not want me to get the nomination or become president – I don’t know who these people are, it’s probably a network of them – are behind this because they knew… that some people were going to believe the accusation whether it was true or not. ‘Let’s take a little bit of shine off of Herman’s star and see whether or not it will help to reduce the enthusiasm that people have.’ They knew that, so they achieved that objective. But here’s where it backfired. More people believe me than the accusations and they have demonstrated it not only with their verbal support, people wanting to volunteer, they have demonstrated it with their dollars.”

Now, Cain told Cavuto, the Hill joke “was hilarious because I would never in my wildest dreams expect her to endorse me… I got a laugh out of it.”

This is getting so bizarre that it would be reasonable at this point to question his stability.

This is a warning. If you have nothing to contribute to this thread regarding the candidates, don't bother posting. Attacking the posters personally is unnacceptable. Stick to the topic.

That doesn't have anything to do with you claiming your "classmates" were killed at Kent does it (you were 13 years old). :laugh2:
 
“The day the allegations broke, on a Monday, where it was the story of the day, that was the highest fund-raising day in the history of the campaign since we started in January,” he said. “And guess what? That whole week we had record fund-raising days.”

I guess people are quite used to this tactic coming from Obama's camp - since Axelrod has a proven history of dredging up anything to run opponents through the gutter to sidetrack the real issues.

I think it is eventually going to do Obama in.
 
And they had hoped it would force him to quit. It had an opposite effect, monetarily-wise.

I wonder when Bialek will agree to a lie detector test.

Her own friends are saying she lied ... I mean ... WOW!


“I call it flyspecking. Every word I say now is going to be flyspecked by somebody, and somebody who does not support Herman Cain, they’re going to try to spin it into a negative,” Cain said.

He said that was the case when he was accused of denigrating Anita Hill, who in 1991 accused Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment.

Cain said that one of his supporters had joked to him, “Anita Hill is trying to contact you,” and that he had responded, in a joke, “Is she going to endorse me?”

“It was in no way intended to be an insult towards Anita Hill,” Cain said yesterday.

I thought that was quite funny and did not interpret it as anything even remotely negative hurled at Anita Hill.
 
Cain could probably survive the harassment charges. Clinton did, Schwarzenegger did, other politicians have as well.

Claiming he has a divine message from God to run for the presidency - that one is going to turn off a LOT of people.

no.... fallacious comparison

Schwarzenegger would not have survived Presidential race. Neither would Clinton if this occurred before he was elected for 2nd time.

You want further proof? John Edwards. He couldn't survive it.
