    Nah, it wasn't Romney. Politico is rabidly liberal and they don't like minority conservatives just like all liberals. Rush Limbaugh pointed this out this morning. They've hit Rubio with a hit-piece, now they're going after Cain. If you are black or hispanic, you better not get uppity and be talking about self-reliance.

    I feel in my heart though, this one will backfire, as there is absolutely nothing to the story. The more it cycles in the news, the more people will see that. So far, the guy the broke the story refuses to say what the allegations were, and has admitted they were not "overtly" sexual. Doh!

    I think Cain may be able to turn this to his advantage. I also think minorities are going to be a bit ticked at white liberals over this.

    Since when did denial become refutation? It that a secret Republican ninja politics technique?

    Denial in the face of no contrary evidence is very powerful. Yes, Cain did refute them. And as the story unravels it's going to get ever more silly. Currently, the accuser at Politico won't even say what Cain did.

    Prove it. You, Politico, someone. All you have without proof is pure speculative bull(*)(*)(*)(*). I love how the media drums up these stories with no evidence other than "unnamed sources".

    Cain should have the right to confront his accusers. At least Clarence Thomas was able to respond to his accuser, after she was flushed out of the weeds. I don't know whether or not Cain is guilty of sexual misconduct, but the decision to give anonymity to his accusers is wrong and in violation of an open process.

    Well geez, a politico liberals says Cain was accused of something less than sexual harassment but he refuses to say, and automatically AZ is almost orgasmic. Let's lynch the guy!

    I'm not sure when I said he definitely did it. I'm saying it should be looked into. If it's nothing, it's nothing.

    If Herman Cain was a Democrat, then the left would not only be attacking the people who reported the story, but they would be attacking and smearing the women who supposedly made these accusations by calling them white-trash, trailer-trash, and making fun of their hair and makeup.

    We know these women were paid to shut up. Cain has already admitted there was a settlement.

    I wonder if Hillary Clinton will respond by calling this a vast left-wing conspiracy.

    Cool story bro. Except that I am not "orgasmic," I am confused at the apparently insight that the OP has on the matter that nobody other than Herman Cain is privilege to.

    I didn't give the report any credibility to begin with...... anonymous sources....no names.......

    The operatives who instigated this were hoping it would have legs......

    It didn't.

    Yea, cause I'm not gullible.

    Rush also said it was possible that this attack came from Romney or Perry. And it sounds just like the kind of dirty southern politics we saw in the run up to the 2000 election when Bush had people call voters asking what they thought about McCain's black baby.

    Cain is the only one privileged because the reporter won't tell you anything. Why do you think that is?

    You're assuming that Cain is guilty because he's an uppity minority that dares to be conservative. Do have any proof whatsoever he's done anything wrong?

    You're not gullible, your biased. There's a difference.

    It may have come from Romney or Perry, but we don't have any evidence. On the other hand we know for sure, that the liberal reporter from politico is in on it. So far, only liberals have their hands dirty in this.

    I am not assuming he is guilty. Absolutely nothing I have said indicates as much. Please read my posts next time.

    I am asking for some sort of inquiry to determine if there is anything to the story.

    I guess that means Michael Jackson is a child molester.

    Asking who? The liberal report is refusing to even say what it was that Cain did. Cain affirmed he was falsely accused. What more do you want him to do? And who do you want investigating this?

    Of course YOU don't buy it. You're a dyed-in-the-wool leftist. People like you will stoop to any low in order to keep your socialist pimp-daddy in the White House.

    There is zero evidence that GWB had anyone do anything of the sort. You lefties sure have no problem spewing lies.

    Obama's sitting in a front of a racist/communist pastor for two decades didn't seem to hurt his chances, nor did his consorting with a known terrorist.

    If Cain was a Democrat this would be a resume enhancement. Let's take a cue from the Obama campaign...Anyone who accuses Cain of wrong-doing is a racist.

    He stated today that he recused himself from the process and handed it over to HR. They found the allegations false as did a review board of the National Restaurant Association. He also stated that if there had been a pay out, he had no knowledge of it.
