Cain just sealed his fate
Edited on Tue Nov-08-11 05:46 PM by quinnox
The press conference he gave is going to make things worse. He all but admitted other women are going to come forward, and he pre-emptively said that they will be lying too.

All the pundits are calling his press conference a complete disaster.

Americans are so sick of Republicon harassers and liars. Screw their phoney 'Family Values' bullshit. It is as phony as their pretend patriotism.

2. I like how he offered to take a lie detector test.
Then his brain caught up with his mouth and he added, "but I won't because I would need to have a good reason to do it". I dunno, I'd think running for POTUS would be a pretty good reason.

4. There will be a picture of him with Sharon Bialek or witnesses
that can prove he knew her by tomorrow. He's an idiot.

10. That's a complicated question

When we speak about how Freepers "feel", you have to understand that we are making assumptions based on what we know about the brain, and trying to apply that to what appear to be random electrical bursts in what biologists call a ganglion.

13. Keep putting the message out there.
I couldn't agree more, and keep wondering what nefarious deeds are going on as the media falls all over itself "Raising Cain" to the level of far more importance than he'll ever merit.

28. but such an entertaining distraction.
I need something besides booze to dull the pain of watching my country go down the tubes. Laughing at Cainwreck helps a little.

11. But Republicans don't see sexual harassment as an issue.
To cheat on your wife is a sin but harassment is just normal old boys at play.

I don't think harassment will make a bit of difference.

23. that's what they say, not likely what they will do
all his opponents are now talking about this. Basically they will either kill him with kindness like Newt or just kill him like Romney, but only a stupid candidate would not every time they talk about Cain use the word sexual harassment. The smart way is what Newt did. Praise Cain, blame media but make sure you keep the harassment and his name linked. Then do it over and over. If your a voter and all you know about a guy is his name is somehow link with sexual misconduct, you ain't going to vote for him no matter how hard publicly you "defend" him to liberals. Unless his opponents are idiots ( well all of them) he is toast.

14. Cain's fate was sealed the day he threw his hat in..
But it was truly over for him when Coulter said "Our blacks are better than their blacks".

Anyone with half a brain could see that the Republicans truly thought Obama got elected because he was black so they tossed Cain in there to show that they are the party of true equality. And you can tell they are the equality party because "their blacks are so much better than our blacks."

a guilty person.

19. Whether or not he is guilty (he is) the manner in which he is
handling this issue is disastrous, he has blunderer at every turn. You can't do that as POTUS/C-I-C.

21. The sad truth is that all this will help him sell more books
and he's probably in the race for that reason. The more controversy, the more juicy books he can write and sell to the idiots who would buy that sort of stuff.

29. yeah but he already has bucks, and if they weren't buying from him they'd buy from someone else.
so it's all probably a wash anyway, in that regard.

24. His side of the story could easily unravel and he really has
set himself up to look very bad if/when it does. The CEO has always gotten away with stuff and he doesn't understand why he can't continue to do so.

30. The affidavits are the key. The accuser related her experience
with Cain to 2 people contemporaneously with the event. They gave affidavits to Gloria A. This was an event that happened 14 years ago. Nail meet coffin.
