Laughable.....9/11 could have been avoided if the Bush Administration had acted on the intel they recieved. As to the devastating the ability to protect itself....I suggest you take a look at who attacked us and then take a look at our military might at the point. Good lord the rightwing is peopled by AM radio loons and the dittoheads that follow their BS.
Loons abound, don't they? If Congress had acted on the Bush requests for regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac we could have avoided the housing bubble bursting which led to our other problems. But, no, Rep. Frank had to protect his spouse's job and promote housing to those who couldn't or wouldn't pay the mortgage, didn't he. Actually, if the leftists are this desperate I'll have to take a more serious look at Cain. I'm old enough to remember Sen. Kennedy lying outrageously to make "to bork" a verb in American English. I'm old enough o remember the meme from James Carville that, to paraphrase, you never know what will come out if you drag a $100 bill through a trailer park. I wonder why Politico won't say whether or not the Obama administration fed them the story?
Problem is Cain loses either way on this story because of his response. Either he's lying and knew about the suits or here we have another CEO who's company was involved in multiple lawsuits, paid out up to tens of thousands of dollars and HE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT. We just got over a CEO on permanent vacation, we don't need another one.
Don't make us laugh showing you lefties fall for it. Now that you lefties ran out of complaints that Bush did it you look for every grain of sand in the desert to try and help the left look good. You realize your just making yourselves look more foolish.
You know for a guy who is an "execute" for a software company that has 80% of the US energy utility companies as customers and now is a manager of a law firm has an exorbitant amount of time on this forum.
"I am unaware of any sort of settlement..." "Yes there was some sort of settlement or termination..." "I was aware that an agreement was reached, the word settlement versus the word agreement, I'm not sure what they called it" "Can you remember everything about an incident 12 years ago? At least he learned something from Slick Willy. If these allegations are true, I am sure more will come out of the woodwork. If we don't hear about any other cases, then I would have to believe these are false. When we hear cases of politicians screwing around on their wives it really doesnt bother me too much. What bothers me is how they lie and use technicalities to try and get around it. This case really wont matter much, either way Cain has little chance of ever winning the nomination
Cain is a freaking joke. From his halfbaked and diidcredited unenforceable tax plan.. his bigoted frame of mind.. his proud procclamation of his own ignorance of international matters, He worked for a freaking lobby organization whose biggest members peddle garbage food ( if he gets elected ..how much anybody want to bet that fast food will be accepted by foodstamps). His idiotic claim that an electrified fence running along the Southern Border is actually a viable option ..it truley takes an out of touch idiot to think thats financially viable or maintainable... or would be effective. Now it turns out that he was charged with sexual harrassment by more than one woman and they were paid off in the 5 figure range to shut up. Cain... an Ex- federal banker.. a meticulous manager.. whose very nature of control and attention to detail and political manuevering allowed him to ascend into the top levels of cutthroat banking and Lobbying organizations.. not to mention a successfull business manager. He suddenly gets forgetful about something that could destroy his career... cant recall payouts .. cant recall charges... Only a complete IDIOT would believe that load of crap. Nobody in his position would allow any of those details to escape his attention... you dont get to be in positions of power like Cain has by being an oblivious forgetful idiot who doesnt have a great hand in managing his own affairs.. let alone the affairs of thousands of others beneath you. He is taking the "damage control" path by simply denying knowledge. He knows more will be discovered.. he doesnt know how much.. he certainly isnt going to reveal anymore info himself.. so the only option is deny any knowledge no matter how stupid it makes him look.. better an idiot than a liar sexual deviant.. "stupid" is perfectly electable by the moronic republican base... and they will probably even look past this infraction and character flaw... but he (*)(*)(*)(*) well knows that he will lose all the independent vote and womens vote if he cant somehow distance himself in some manner from what is being dredged up.. and will continue to be dredged up. As anybody can see .. even on this forum.. Bizzarro-conservatives will simply point out the same infractions made by democratic politicians in the past to gloss over and accept the same crimes commited by the politicians they champion. Like any simple-minded person who has given up free thought in order to belong to an idiotic mob.. they dont care WHAT their candidate has done wrong in his past.. they only care that THEIR candidate gets elected.. it gives them a false sense of control in a world thats fast spinning out of their control. It doesnt matter what kind of human filth they vote for.. so long as that human filth promises to protect their little niche in the corrupt system they have managed to latch onto... like ticks on a dog.
And the majority of the left is no better. People want to be told what to think; not think for themselves. And people wonder why I have a hard time voting. Hell it is almost an act of treason against common sense, family and what this nation was founded on to vote for this crap that call themselves politicians.
You don't seem to understand... Liberals WANT Cain to win the nomination. This controversy was brought to light by the GOP establishment.
Cain's hand gesture was to show how high he could pile up bull(*)(*)(*)(*). The issue isn't the story of these women. It's Cain's inept bumbling that exposes him as an idiot (as if 999 wasn't a clue).
Do they? I'm not sure either way. My question yesterday which is still unanswered is did Obama plant this story because he wants Cain to win the GOP nomination or because he wants Cain ot lose? I think the jury is still out on that.
Liberals would have gleefully elected Clinton for a 3rd term if they had the ability to, despite the fact that he sexually harassed women, engaged in inappropriate acts with other women, and lied about all of it while looking into the camera. Their selective moral outrage on this situation, which is based on hearsay and anonymous sources, is the height of hypocrisy.
Again, Cain leading the Republican field is a dream come true for Liberals and Democrats. The only people who hate this is the GOP establishment who want either Perry or Romney winning the nomination. This is why Cain didn't get a lot of money from the big GOP donors despite his jump in the lead in October.
I agree that the GOP establishment has a lot to lose if a non-establishment Republican enters the White House. But Obama and the liberal Democrat establishment has even more to lose if they have to face a populist black Republican in 2012.
Incorrect. He'd have more to lose if Cain was a serious candidate. Even Republicans think he isn't serious candidate, which is why they're seeking to dismantle his campaign. Just look at how Fox News is reporting the story compared to MSNBC and CNN. Its obvious what their agenda is.
Anyone who wins the Republican nomination is a serious threat to Obama. But Cain poses unique challenges that the other contenders do not.
