Herman Cain, recently, has been ducking questions about past sexual harassment charges that were filed against him, but settled out of court, by two women in the 1990's. Another lady is now coming forward, with lawyer Gloria Aldridge, that she too, was sexually harassed by Cain. The first two women will not disclose their names, however, the third "victim" (and I use the word very loosely here for right now) doesn't seem to have a problem exposing herself.
My understanding is that Perry's (Rick) crew is the one that dug up the story and Politico is the one that presented it to the world. Again, that's my understanding. I could be wrong. Wait, I'm never wrong (insert laughter and applause).
I have not lost faith in Cain because of the allegations. I've lost faith in Cain because he won't own up to it. When it was first presented to him, he claimed he didn't know anything about it. But when his campaign group presented the information to him, he tried to back pedal. BACK PEDAL. That's why I can't support Cain anymore. And when I say support, I do not mean forking over my hard earned quarter to his campaign fund or trailing behind him wherever he goes (TV wise), or hanging on to every word he says. When I say support, I mean, I actually found someone I might have voted for. Um, voting is a whole other blog that I may or may not write about. I'm trying to decided if I want to be driven to Smack Down Hotel after my post. But I digress.
As mentioned, I am not holding Cain's past "mistakes" against him. I don't hold anyone's past mistakes against them, if they are willing to own up to them by saying they did it and they were wrong. Cain has yet to do either one.
Some are referring to this as technology lynching. I just call it dirty playing on the part of the Perry campaign group. What people did in their past is just that, their past. We cannot judge a person from their past actions, we can only judge a person from their present actions...BACK PEDALING. We will always keep in the back of my minds what has taken place in the past, but that should be the end of it. But politics isn't like that. Politicians want to profess their honesty and integrity to the world, all the while, they are playing dirty in the background. They are quick to throw the brick and then hide their hands.
My name is Nikki and this my two cents with some change probably coming back.
