That's why Cain paid them all off, because nothing happened.
Yeah, yeah .....that's the ticket.
I liked Cain at first, but I was disappointed in how he handled the accusations, and I was no longer supporting him before he dropped out of the race. But this is false.
Cain didn't pay. The Restaurant association paid out of its own pocket after Cain had already left. The amount paid is in the same ball park that companies often pay just to avoid the hassle of court, and is not considered an admission of guilt.
There are plenty of reasons not to believe the first two women were telling the truth- like one of them has a history of accusing her coworkers and bosses of sexual harassment, the other lied about her circumstances, and the fact that in all of Caine's life and careers, the only allegations ever made about him were from two women in the very, very short time period he lived and worked in Chicago.
Gingrich is an adulterer with a messy history.
His first wife his his geography teacher in high school and she seduced him and bedded him when he was still a minor. That was unethical of the wife.
Later he cheated on that wife, divorced his first wife and married his mistress.
Then he cheated on his former mistress, now wife, divorced her, and married his new mistress.
I won't be defending him against the truth or voting for him. But I don't believe his exwife's steamiest allegations, either. Her story does keep changing. She is bitter. You should always take an ex's stories with a grain of salt.
Also, I have NO sympathy for mistresses who break up marriages, marry the guy they had an affair with, and then get upset when the guy they committed adultery with later cheats on them.
If you are sleeping with another woman's husband, which his ex-wife did, and then marry the cheater, well, you married a cheater and you knew it, because you are also a cheater. What do you expect? A man who committed adultery *with* you is just as likely to commit adultery later with some other cheater.
I also do not believe Obama cheated on his wife with Vera. But I know that if the same allegation had been made against any Republican the media would have been all over it. After all, look at how the media handled John Edwards adultery (which they knew about long before the National Enquirer broke the news), how they handled Clinton's lies to Congress under oath, lies to the American people about never having an affair with that woman, and it was a vast right wing conspiracy when he KNEW it was the truth, how they ignored the long string of women accusing Clinton of affairs, harassment, and in one case rape, compared to McCain leaving his first wife decades ago, or the Cain allegations when they were still anonymous and ten years old anyway. They focused on anonymous ten year old allegations about a republican and completely ignored *current* affairs in the case of Edwards and Clinton, and current allegations with Obama.
