Merman? :freak:



Typical dirty tricks.

Merman? :freak:

What? You didn't know he was actually a Mermaid? :noid:

 

[Nathon Detroit]

But seriously, do you guys think all of this has ruined his chance at becoming the nominee?

 

[chrysostom]

can a lawsuit be filed against the accuser?

Well, let's see what the most reasoned poster on the site has to say about it:

I think the guy did it, and I think he's scum.

There you have it.

 

[Quincy]

He probably didn't do it but who knows. As it stands his team is handling this TERRIBLY and he is already playing the immature blame game which speaks a lot to his character. He's pathetic, so he will probably get the nomination. He's playing right into what the democrats want, if it is just all lies. At any rate, he never has and never will make me think he is a better candidate than Huntsman or Newt. I'd love to see one of those guys battle Obama in the ge.

 

[Granite]

He never had a chance to be the nominee. And that press conference clinched it for me. The guy did something, and has no one but himself to blame.

 

[WizardofOz]

Despite his recent lead in polls, I didn't he had much of a chance to begin with. I think his response was solid overall, but this scandal does not help his chances of being nominated by the GOP regardless of what he says or does next.

 

[Quincy]

He never had a chance to be the nominee.

I hope you are right Granite.

If Huntsman would just put himself out there a little more, be a little more approachable, he'd be able to capitalize on all this and steal most of Cain's supporters. Most of them won't go for Romney so really, the ball is in Newt's court now...... Bet he doesn't do anything about it :chuckle: .

 

[Quincy]

I think his response was solid overall,

What's solid about playing the blame game, Wiz? I think he started out doing the right thing, just shooting the accusations down definitively but after that press conference it's clear it's gotten to him, imo at least.

but this scandal does not help his chances of being nominated by the GOP regardless of what he says or does next.

The media will just love a ge with this guy in it.

He's a talented orator not to say anything about guilt or innocence.

The left (media) wants Romney, and will do whatever it takes to make him Obama's opponent.

:doh:

All five women were planted by the media? The incident(s) during his time with the restaurant associated are a part of his past and voters should be informed.

 

[Sherman]

It looks like Kraushaar has a history of filing complaints against her employers. On her next job she also filed a complaint. That would affect her credibility and may blunt its effect as a damper on Cain campaign.

I think its balderdash. Kraushaar is a whiner. I'm still voting for him.

What about the other four women?

Never implied that, but the stupid left interpret what Cain did they way you interpreted what I said. You are all just plain stupid.

Fantastic "explanation" stupid head. lain:

How do you interpret these stories? Because, it's not one story, it's five and counting.

 

[The Barbarian]

Where there's smoke, there might be a fire. Or there might just be a smoke machine.

Something happened. But whether or not it's disqualifying for Cain remains to be seen. If Romney is behind this, he might later be sorry. It can backfire.

You don't think it's possible there could be some politics going on here?

Furthermore, these accusers simply don't sound that credible to me.

And finally... if this were some liberal being accused (i.e., Obama) the media would be crying racism as loud as possible. But since Cain is a conservative just as with Clarence Thomas it's guns a blazing. :Grizzly:
