Cain: Dem Machine Brought Forth A ‘Trouble Woman’

[kpete]

So, turns out it was the “Democrat Machine” all along.

Herman Cain held a press conference Tuesday evening, addressing the accusations of sexual harassment that have dogged his campaign for the last week and a half.

During the press conference, Cain stated unequivocally that the accusations against him are false, and further said that he does not remember meeting Sharon Bialek, the latest woman to accuse Cain of unwanted sexual contact — at one point saying that “the Democrat machine in America has brought forth a troubled woman to make false accusations.”

Whatever the truth of the matter, it cannot be counted out of the realm of possibility that Cain’s performance might boost his standing among some Republican primary voters, with his contention that the accusations are being lodged in order to undermine him politically as an agent of change

1. It is perfectly fine for Cain to make totally unsupported charges:

"The Democrat Machine has brought forth a trouble woman"?

You cry, whine and bitch that these are baseless accusations the four women have made, yet you make statements without supporting evidence AND in one pronouncement you said something to the effect: "I don't have facts to back this up, but..."

Give me a break. if the latest accusation is true, you committed a sexual assault simply because you believed you could do so and get away with it because of the predicament the woman was in. If true, you are no better than any serial rapist in prison at this moment.

2. i have talked to two republicans this evening that are disgusted with the man.

yes. actual republican men that are not into women being sexually harassed and would never allow in in their companies that they manage and run. and as one said, that he takes pride in that he has an environment where the women are respected and appreciated.

just saying

3. Hopefully, there's enough smoke to force the facts into the public.

It would be wrong to judge Cain without facts.

In my mind, either Cain is guilty or he is being swift-boated. I tend to think he is guilty.

To say it's Democrats who are swift-boating him is a cheap shot and doesn't make sense.
I believe Obama would like Cain as the Republican opponent in the general election.
Cain is scary enough to frighten independents.
It's in Obama's interest to see Cain defeat Romney.

I view Romney as the real threat. Romney seems to stand for anything anyone wants.
Romney is wishy-washy enough to confuse voters and get a fair share of uninformed votes.

Cain's Republican opponents have much more reason to swift-boat him.
I also believe Republicans are much more adept at swift-boating and dirty tricks.
Cain should look to his Republican colleagues if he is being swift-boated.

4. Yesterday it was Perry who did it. The day before that it was Romney who did it. Today

it's the Democrats who did it. Okay...gotcha, Cain.

You're a LIAR.

5. Why would Democrats do this now? Wouldn't they/we wait until he was nominated?

If any political agenda is playing out here, it is a Republican's.

6. I confess... I helped, I kid, I kid.

Thankfully this side show should be done soon.
