Well,let’s step back from the media frenzy surrounding the growing list of women accusing Herman Cain of….?? “GU”:Generating Uncomfortableness,”GG”(Groping Genitals),
“ACC”(attempted confidentiality coitus), whatever ,AND calmly think this through.

1)Do I personally think Herman Cain is guilty of ,at minimum,of occassionally trying to hit on attractive women ??Yes
2)Do I think he is lying on at least some of this story? Yes
DO I CARE.??NO!
But ,IMO the larger question iso I believe HC would make a good president??ABSOLUTLY ,YES!
To those readers who think my conclusion is ridiculous or demented,let me briefly explain.
1)All politcians lie IMO.Start at the top with Bill Clinton,Hilliary Clinton(“those records just appeared out of no where on a table in the White House”,FDR, and go all the way down to the local state politican.Start with major “heroes”..Mac Arthur( read”The Coldest Winter” by David Halberstam),Much Decorated :John Kerry.
We would need many hours just to type in the names of just the politicians.
2)We need a president who has “cajones”.The way HC has faced all the allegations and has not backed down ,surely means he has some big-time…er,ER….courage.To want to become president of the USA,when your father was a chaffeur take unbelievable courage !!Remember the new president will make some tough calls on Iran,North Korea,China’s trade policies.I like a president with a potential excess of testosteron.
3)We need a president who is really smart!!!HC is VERY SMART.
A degree in mathematics;an advanced degree in Computer Science from a real school(Purdue University).Need I say more?
4)We need a president who knows how to run a business!!HC has met a weekly payroll more times than all the other candidates combined.He has actually run several businesses(GodFathers Pizza e.g.).The presidency is too important a job for OJT,as we have learned:a union organizer does not run “a business” enterprise.
5)We need a president who knows the limits of his knowledge.HC has publically admitted that he is no expert on foreign affairs.This is refreshing when we see so many politicians”bluffing” their way through answers to difficult questions(e.g.certain recorded “town hall” meeting held last year)
6)We need a president who has “seen the ghost”.To survive a major cancer scare means that HC has faced the real possibility of dying.This is a great advantage to a Commander in Chief who realizes his actions will likely result in the death of US soldiers.Plus:having to over- come a major illness provides remarkable insight when discussing Health Care Reform issues.
7)The Republican Party needs a major elected black offical to help under score the failure of the Democrat Party’s “welfare statism”.HC represents acheivment through hard work (prior to “quotas”).While he may not cause a major switch in the monolithic black vote for Democrats,he surely will cause some switching.Along with several other rising Black and Hispanic stars in the Republican party, a brake on the strong hold the Democrat Party has on the Black and Hispanic vote is a must for the future of the Republican Party
I don’t even want to go ,in detail,through the obvious “evidence” about some (or perhaps all of the accusers):financial difficulties,pior records of trying to game the system(e.g. the latest accuser),trying to have an easy “score”( a years salary for “feeling uncomfortable”.,etc).
OH….I forgot ,having Gloria Alred as an attorney(remember the Big Surprise?? Alred and the weeping illegal she represented that killed Meg Whitman’s candidaacy in California?)
I say the issues before the country or too huge to get the DEBATE side tracked with this Media Frenzy
I totally agree that he is lying to protect his potential and likely successful bid for the presidency and it’s not as if he didn’t know all this mud slinging was about to happen.
A full three weeks before the 1st allegations of any kind he announced “there’s a target on my back”
Do you think for one minute he didn’t know who was aiming?
I’m not sure if he would be the best choice for president, but I am sure a Cain / Obama race would not only make history by finally putting the race card to rest, it would be the most fun to watch.
Does anyone seriously believe that either of the two can rectify an American economy on the verge of collapse? That’s not the function of a president anyway. Their job is to protect us from all enemies, foriegn and domestic.Period!
My most pressing question is which of the two would be more likely to take out Iran? Which one of the two would be more likely to stand by Isreal if and when they take out Iran?
That should be easy to figure . . . if your paying attention to the important stuff, like survival after a nucular attack. Why don’t we all just keep our eyes on the “Balls” . . so to speak.
