Of course, I don’t know Herman Cain and have no idea as to his reputation. Nor do I know his accusers in the sexual harassment charges. The fact that they were paid something, for silence or whatever, and the fact that the women accepted the payments for silence tells me a couple of things. One, Mr. Cain was willing to make some kind of appeasement payment to settle the whole thing and two, the women were not damaged enough to not accept the dollars offered for the silence. What is happening now is that Mr. Cain is gaining the national spotlight and is making the women think they have more to gain and by “speaking out”. They hope they can capture a national audience thereby really capitalizing with TV exposure and possible big bucks by breaking their payoff promise. I do not condone any sexual harassment, but for them to restart the “I’ve been wronged” after being paid to set “things right” in my opinion amounts to blackmail. Does it seem that way to you or am I missing something? ……11/7….AS more ladies come forward one has to wonder about Mr. Cain’s actions in the past…..



According to the reports I’ve seen, Herman Cain had no knowledge of any payments for silence. The payments were made by the National Restaurant Association which Cain headed for a time. It is my understanding that the payments were made as a matter of routine to hush the complaints and to avoid litigation, which is routine in many companies and organizations today. Herman Cain has said that he had no knowledge that any payment was made ,although he was the CEO of the organization, and he could not understand that any payment was made since the charges were baseless. If there are any substance to the charges, let the women come out of their closet and sue the pants off both Herman Cain and the National Restaurant Association. Otherwise, let’s move on to the tasks of creating jobs and getting rid of the present ursuper in the White House.
