    Well I never thought it was a Democratic conspiracy ... did you :?

    Credence? yes of course ... I have stated what I believe. You must not read my posts.

    I also believe as I have stated,
    not knowing anything about a marriage of 43 years it is best not to judge the people in it.
    How they maintain that marriage, what makes them life partners.

    This is not a good reason for a candidate to pull out, if it was it would have been a great reason
    for a President to resign ... and it was not.

    I guess he is backing Newt like I thought he would.

    what is a good reason to pull out of the presidential race then?

    if a 13 year affair and multiple sexual harrassment accusations with 2 settlements that we know of is not enough to demonstrate a man's character, then what, in your opinion, is??

    Many are judging him and their marriage without having a clue.

    Basing fact on rumor and here say and accusations.
    He was not even in the public arena when these unfounded unproven
    accusations were made.

    Unlike Clinton who was in office and lied to the American
    people point blank.

    Based on your question here can one assume you felt Clinton should have resigned
    at that point? You must not have felt him to have good character, certainly.
    That he could not be a good example to lead our country ....
    if you feel this strongly about only accusations towards Cain.

    Or does this come down to party lines drawn?

    I didn't say Cain was Hitler. I said 'the same thing could have been said of Hitler.'

    I am not so sure but I as everyone do not know their personal situations.
    And so I will not find the man guilty based on unproven accusations.

    you did not answer my question.

    clinton was a scumbag. but, do you know how his affair was found out? ken starr spent $47 million of our tax dollars investigating clinton and he had nothing on him. the only thing he could find was the lewinski affair and they wanted him out of office so badly they used that against him. he was impeached, but he did not get voted out by the people trying him, the congress. if ken starr had not spent your money then the affair would have most likely not been found out. lewinski was outed by linda tripp. cain had accusers come forward by their own free will. huge difference there....

    your but is telling
    and you did not answer the questions I had for you either
    I have told here repeatedly why I think this is NOT(I won't make my hugely big :lol: )
    a good reason to leave the race.

    Do you have proof of no additional monetary gain for the accusers?

    Do you really think the Atlanta woman is doing this out of the goodness of her heart
    to inform America of the affair.

    Perhaps, her 'well' ran dry and she was looking to get the cash flow running again.

    you say that these womens stories have credence and yet youve stated in previous posts:

    There certainly has been little proof so far of terrible wrong doings that should keep Cain
    form holding office.... just mud slinging.


    Watching the news this am... I swear this is all fixed.



    For me those kind of skeletons are irrelevant...
    even if they did exist

    really no proof just hearsay from not the best sources either at this point




    I guess he was a threat to someone in this campaign
    needed to throw some mud his way



    I think he is speaking the truth... it was not an affair in his opinion
    just like Clinton didn't think it was having sex.

    He may still come out with a partial confession and move on and maybe even back up
    in the polls. Like Clinton he has an enormous ego, not a bad thing for a President.



    Basing fact on rumor and here say and accusations.
    He was not even in the public arena when these unfounded unproven
    accusations were made.





    so if as youve agreed that these womens stories have credence, then how can you say its mudslinging, its all fixed, no proof... just hearsay. how it is now possible that there is any credence to these women's stories??? and then you say he may still come out with a partial confession... a confession about what???

    I wonder what this asshole was trying to hide?


    http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/de ... sachusetts

    Mitt Romney's staff spent nearly $100,000 to hide records


    Romney spent state funds to replace computers in his office at the end of his term as governor of Massachusetts in 2007


    Guardian.co.uk, Monday 5 December 2011


    Mitt Romney spent nearly $100,000 in state funds to replace computers in his office at the end of his term as governor of Massachusetts in 2007 as part of an unprecedented effort to keep his records secret, Reuters has learned.

    The move during the final weeks of Romney's administration was legal but unusual for a departing governor, Massachusetts officials say.

    The effort to purge the records was made a few months before Romney launched an unsuccessful campaign for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. He is again competing for the party's nomination, this time to challenge Barack Obama for the presidency in 2012.

    Five weeks before the first contests in Iowa, Romney has seen his position as frontrunner among Republican presidential candidates whittled away in the polls as rival Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House of Representatives, has gained ground.

    When Romney left the governorship of Massachusetts, 11 of his aides bought the hard drives of their state-issued computers to keep for themselves. Also before he left office, the governor's staff had emails and other electronic communications by Romney's administration wiped from state servers, state officials say.

    Those actions erased much of the internal documentation of Romney's four-year tenure as governor, which ended in January 2007. Precisely what information was erased is unclear.

    Republican and Democratic opponents of Romney say the scrubbing of emails – and a claim by Romney that paper records of his governorship are not subject to public disclosure – hinder efforts to assess his performance as a politician and elected official.

    As Massachusetts governor Romney worked with a Democrat-led state house to close a budget shortfall and signed a healthcare overhaul that required nearly all state residents to buy insurance or face penalties.

    The Massachusetts healthcare law became a model for Obama's nationwide healthcare programme, enacted into law in 2010. As a presidential candidate, however, Romney has criticised Obama's plan as an overreach by the federal government.

    Massachusetts officials say they have no basis to believe Romney's staff violated any state laws or policies in removing his administration's records.

    They acknowledge, however, that state law on maintaining and disclosing official records is vague and has not been updated to deal with issues related to digital records and other modern technology.

    Romney's spokesmen emphasise that he followed the law and precedent in deleting the emails, installing new computers in the governor's office and buying up hard drives.

    However, Theresa Dolan, former director of administration for the governor's office, told Reuters that Romney's efforts to control or wipe out records from his governorship were unprecedented.

    Dolan said that in her 23 years as an aide to successive governors "no one had ever inquired about or expressed the desire" to purchase their computer hard drives before Romney's tenure.

    The cleanup of records by Romney's staff before his term ended included spending $205,000 for a three-year lease on new computers for the governor's office, according to official documents and state officials.

    In signing the lease Romney aides broke an earlier three-year lease that provided the same number of computers for about half the cost: $108,000.

    Lease documents obtained by Reuters under the state's freedom of information law indicate that the broken lease still had 18 months to run.
    As a result of the change in leases the cost to the state for computers in the governor's office was an additional $97,000.

    Andrea Saul, a spokeswoman for Romney's presidential campaign, referred questions on the computer leasing deal and records removal to state officials.
    Last week Saul claimed that Deval Patrick, the present Massachusetts governor and a Democrat, was encouraging reports about Romney's records to cast the former governor as secretive. Patrick's office has not responded to that allegation.

    The removal of digital records by Romney's staff, first reported by the Boston Globe, has sparked a wave of requests for state officials to release paper records from Romney's governorship that remain in the state archives.

    Massachusetts officials are reviewing state law to determine whether the public should have access to those records.

    The issue is clouded by a 1997 state court ruling that could be interpreted to mean that records of the Massachusetts governor are not subject to disclosure. Romney has asserted that his records are exempt from disclosure.

    State officials and a longtime Romney adviser have acknowledged that before leaving office Romney asked state archives officials for permission to destroy certain paper records. It is unclear whether his office notified anyone from the state before destroying electronic records.

    Officials have said the details of Romney's request to remove paper records, such as what specific documents he wanted to destroy, could be made public only in response to a request under the state's freedom of information law. Reuters has filed such a request.

    do you not think mud slinging is based in some truth?

    I do believe this is possible.

    This where I give credence ... not to all the accusations nor to how you and others
    may view what Mr Cain and his wife think and feel about the situation.

    A partial confession would be what he has said already. :?
    The thought had occurred to me he might confess as Clinton did to lies
    and betrayal though, hoping for a similar outcome.

    Again my stance... this is not sufficient wrong doing to be excluded from the race.
    I view it as media bullying and probably more.

    No one can judge a marriage of 43 years nor the reasons for infidelity of the partners
    within the marriage if indeed there was. Most especially the media and American people.
    It is personal business that happened outside of public office and had no business
    in the race.

    Why don't you answer Gimme's question? The question that you sidestepped earlier.

    Here, I'll post it again for you:
    what is a good reason to pull out of the presidential race then?
