Republicans support sexual harassment by a large majority...

NBC/WSJ poll: Cain allegations don't matter to majority of Republicans

By Mark Murray

A majority of Republican voters -- and nearly six in 10 GOP Tea Party supporters -- say they aren't concerned about the sexual-harassment allegations directed at Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

But his standing among all respondents has declined since these allegations first surfaced last week.

In the poll, 54 percent of Republican voters say they aren't concerned about voting for Cain after these allegations, while another 15 percent say they are "just a little" concerned.

1. And if those allegations were made against President Obama
They would be screaming Impeachment.


OH, the hypocrisy.

8. Right!
I hadn't even thought of that. Thanks for posting this. I love being reminded of how hypocritical the conservative authoritarians are.

10. Impeachment? There would literally be lynch mobs outside of the White House.
Hypocrisy isn't strong enough of a word for these assholes. Hypercrisy might be more appropriate.

3. The Bialek accusation amounts to sexual assault. Repigs are ok with that.

4. what about that lying Bill Clinton?
did they decide sexual harassment and lying about it is OK in just a few short years?

Oh, it's OK if a Republican does it. Now I get it.

11. It was not sexual harassment, at least not on Bill Clinton's part.
Monica was where she wanted to be.

5. They'd only be concerned if Cain raped the women and they had abortions
And it wouldn't be the rape part that concerned them.
