First of all, if Cain has committed acts of sexual harassment, or even continued improprietous acts with women, I don't think I want to see him as president.
Second, I am not favorably impressed with women who say they have been sexually harassed, but only speak anonymously through lawyers. That's second hand and in court would not be allowed as testimony, being hearsay.
Third, in the case of the 4th woman, I am suspicious of her due to the circumstances of the way she has chosen to report this, that is waiting as she has. I also was a little concerned by her body language on the news this morning. But I realize some women can be traumatised to the point they don't always act in ways we traditionally think os as appropriate. There is also the fact that she may have been afraid due to his power/money, and emboldened by subsequent events.
Since I tend to disregard the anonymous complaints at this time, I can only evaluate this based on the 4th one. I remain somewhat skeptical, but am certainly open to being convinced. If Cain is that focused on flaunting law (whether or not all complaints are valid), I wouldn't want to see him as president. Not even sure if only the 4th can be proven. It is easy to say he was only responding to what he thought she wanted, but I haven't seen anything that tells me he had signals of her going beyond possible flirting.
In which case, what he did is sexual assault, absent some indications from her that she wanted to continue toward a more intimate relationship. I think most women would be more disgusted than anything else, but she is entitled to her own feelings. I do understand if what was reported in post #7 is true, that does give him some wiggle room. I just think a real, and prudent, man would attempt to engage in some verbal foreplay, hand holding, and/or kissing, before moving to what #4 reported happened. Flaunting law, being imprudent? To much of that in our presidency in the last few years as it is.
If this is all a very cleverly orchestrated smear campaign, with no basis in fact, I hope the perpetrator of the smear can be identified and some punishment can be exacted. And that Cain can campaign on his own merits whatever they may be.
Bottom line for me is that I don't know yet what to believe. I can go either way as facts dictate.
Not putting it on the Texan, now, just because precedence is in his 'favor' :lol:
