Shame on the newsmedia for the attack of this man who might very well have been able to change the the course of time. Shame on the women (who were probably well paid) who demoralized this man today. I find it hard to believe that any one of them are in any position to throw the first stone. And, shame on those judgemental Americans for listening to the almighty, self and drama seeking news reporters for pounding this event to death and taking their side.

Mr. Cain, I am one of many Americans that NEED you to stay with us in what ever capacity you can. Thank you for who you are, a great man of integrity. Keep fighting the fight. Leona Osman, North Dakota.

BIG SQUIRMING TOAD LIAR ANTHONY WEINER'S WEEK OF BIG SQUIRMING TOAD LYING DIDN'T BOTHER LEFTY DEM SHILL SUSAN MILLIGAN IN THE LEAST...

She even went so far as to excoriate the 'media' for treating Weiner the horn dog perv so... 'inexcusably.'

Then after a week of big squirming toad lying, Weiner finally fessed up, to being a big squirming toad liar.

That left 'political and foreign-affairs' writer Susan Milligan sitting deaf, dumb, and blind in a corner, unable to offer a 'political and foreign-affairs' opinion on Weiner's former House seat flipping republican -- what with Weiner egg still dripping down her face.

What is so obviously 'startling' is how little cred Susan Milligan has when it comes to chiming in on moral shortcomings of politicians.

What may rile Cain supporters -- and many others -- is how Obama keeps his likely not-so-small pecadilloes so tightly under wraps.

You need look no further than lefty dem shills such as Susan Milligan and her sideways defence of BSTL Weiner to understand that.

R.L. Schaefer of CA_ Continuing from Obama's America of Low Expectations”

Except in economic area I would say we generally have similar beliefs more or less.

I have no special training in economics in school. I have studied this area A LOT. I HAVE LEARNED from history. We are not learning from the mistakes of the past and so here we are bound to repeat our errors.

Maybe the most job growth killer tax increase is obamacare. Just one aspect of that is in one quarter will cost AT&T $$$ 1 billion in tax increase. $$$ 4 billion a year. Will cost Caterpillar $$$ 250 million. Companies don't pay taxes, cost is included in goods sold. We pay it when we buy. Raise cost of bulldozer made here and foreign made product may be bought as an example. Go to Walmart and buy American made product. Good luck doing. Ever wonder why the 4 + year wait for most of obamacare. Folks are dying and families going bankrupt. That was the cries to promote passing obamacare in the first place. Buy foreign and loss American jobs.

In “Obama's America of Low Expectations” you wrote:

“The rich are... well rich. Keeping their tax levels at historical lows will not induce them to "create" jobs. Why should they? They have everything they need.”

Simple not true. Countless times I have quoted CBO saying in real numbers, government pocketed revenue, rich paid 4.01 % more tax with Bush's tax cuts. Simple math could not account for that. Rich take their money out of low yielding accounts and invest. That's jobs. Like I said earlier, “EPA regulation” needs reality check is stopping ivestments along with treats of raising taxes. Companies need consistency to thrive.

Bill C. taxes increases was less productive for government revenue than Newt's tax cuts for rich. When taxes were raise on YACHT the yacht industries knees buckled and nearly failed. There was not increases in government revenue as was hoped. Less instead. Check out CA, they have high tax rate and liberal legislator majority. How is higher tax rate on rich working for them ?

I challenge you as I did Jamie in her article. Prove increasing taxes on rich generates MORE REVENUE. PROVE ME WRONG... Not with CBO estimated numbers but real results.

"Why is it an alleged affair that crosses the line?"

As a Kennedy groupie you should be an expert in this area.

That aside, the answer to your question is simple.

Accusations of sexual harassment, in light of politically correct hysteria, are generally groundless and often amusing in their smug stupidity.

On the other hand, allegations of a long term affair are more often than not true. Further, an affair is an actual physical act - a deed - a consummation of a sexual relationship. Flirtation (now often considered a crime) can be innocent fun - harming no one.

1. If you don't have a job it most likely is your fault. There are job openings in every newspaper.

2. You write “well if there is like 5 chicks blaming you for sexual harassment then it's your fault!”

What a asinine statement. "Chicks", what a sexist demeaning term.

Michael Jackson was accused and there were body guards that supported it. Witnesses was discredited and Jackson found innocent. At least some of the accusers against Cain are connected to WH.

Remember how Shooter in AZ got his inspiration from Sarah Palin & Fox. How did that work out ?

Remember what Herman cain says if you dont have a job it's your fault! yea well if there is like 5 chicks blaming you for sexual harassment then it's your fault! put that in your pizza and eat it.

It's sad that America can be so easily duped by the media and people looking for their 15 minutes of fame.

I submit to any reasonable thinking person the following question.

If Mr. Cain had multiple infidelities through the course of 20 years, why is there no proof? No blue dress. No pictures of him half (or fully) naked. No sexually explicit text messages. No recorded phone calls. No hotel room receipts with his name on it... nadda.

If there WAS a smoking gun, the media would be shouting it from the rooftops claiming it's the next Watergate.

Michael Jackson was accused of child abuse. Remember what happened in court ?

bow ties "Herman Cain Affair Allegations Are Irrelevant" article got 16 comments. Talking about Newt's House troubles and Cain alligations.

We brought up the past. FDR, Most of the liberal royal family, General Ike, and THE OTHERS. We did not exhaust the list or mention the SUSPECTED. liberal talk about SUSPECTED CHARGES AGAINST CAIN.

Repeating the same past mistakes. Like shooting in AZ and blaming Sarah and Fox.

Lessons of Nov. 2, 2010 not learned lib. What lessons ever learned ???
