Cain vows to "set the record straight" [release](AP) ATLANTA - Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain is vowing to "set the record straight" at a news conference one day after a fourth woman — and the first to reveal her identity — accused him of inappropriate sexual behavior a decade ago, the latest in a string of claims that have rocked his presidential campaign. "There is not an ounce of truth to all these allegations" and the graphic account from Sharon Bialek is "totally fabricated," the Georgia businessman told late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. Cain planned to address the latest furor Tuesday afternoon in Phoenix as he seeks to stem the fallout of a controversy stretching into its second week. Cain blames harassment claims on "long career" Do Bialek's charges amount to sexual harassment? Is Herman Cain's political goose cooked? "I'm going to talk about it," Cain said, adding "we are taking this head on" — a reversal from just days ago when told reporters he was done answering questions about the matter. That was before Bialek went on national television (watch report at left) Monday and provided a name and a face to what had, until then, been at least three anonymous sexual harassment allegations against Cain. Bialek's accusations — that Cain groped her in a car after she asked for his help finding a job — spun his unorthodox campaign into an uncertain new territory. An upstart in the presidential race, Cain shot to the top of public opinion polls and emerged, however temporarily, in surveys as the main conservative challenger to Mitt Romney. Tea party activists and conservatives unenthused with the former Massachusetts governor have flocked to Cain's tell-it-like-it-is style and self-styled outsider image in recent weeks. There were, however, growing signs of unease in conservative circles as, one by one, a handful of women claimed Cain acted inappropriately toward them while the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s. "He deserves a fair chance. But that doesn't mean he gets a pass. These are not anonymous allegations anymore unfortunately," said New Hampshire conservative activist Jennifer Horn, who last week had condemned media coverage of the allegations against Cain. "He does need to take another step and answer a few more questions." "Oh," exclaimed South Carolina GOP Chairman Chad Connelly said when told details from Bialek's news conference. He said character issues matter in a state where the last governor tearfully confessed an affair and the current governor faced unproven allegations from two men that she had affairs. "Our voters care about moral attitude," Connelly said. "Character does matter."[/release] Source: [url]http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57320353/cain-vows-to-set-the-record-straight/?tag=strip[/url]
My ass is worth more than a politician's vow.
Knowing Cain, he will set his record [I]gay[/I] instead of [I]straight[/I], like with this pro-life stand.
Herman Cain is african american
Lol, you should have heard the fourth woman's account of the incident. "He then quickly put his hand on my leg, up my skirt, and reached for my genitals. After that he grabbed my neck and pushed my head towards his crotch. 'What are you doing, Mr. Cain, you know I have a boyfriend.' 'You want the job, don't you?' I then told him to stop and take me home, and he did." Sounds like it came from the hypothetical situation section from a "sexual abuse in the workplace" seminar.
It looks like Cain. Is having his Anniversary. [url]http://mirrors.rit.edu/instantCSI/[/url]

Aren't you the same guy who said, [QUOTE=S31-Syntax;33139214]-inhales slowly- no. I'm saying that every time I try and defend anything remotely close to conservatism, i'm painted as a bible thumping mega-conservative super-republican and people reply with "So what damage do gays cause then?" and "So you hate poor people then?" and my personal favorite "I want you to look a minimum wage part time worker in the eye and tell him its his fault he has that job". Even better, every time I say "Hey, I'm not a republican, i'm kinda inbetween" it either gets ignored or responded to with "Of course you are, don't lie" as if there is no other alternative to bleeding heart liberalism than to be a bible-snorting mega republican.[/QUOTE] Because you aren't making much of a case for you being a decent human being right now.

Will he also say that this whole thing is a huge fucking joke and he is dropping out of the race?
I'm pretty damn liberal and I don't like Cain one bit, but I'm still extremely skeptical about all of this. This looks like it could easily be a smear campaign. It wouldn't be the first time a republican tried something like this right before the primaries.

Its okay if everyone else makes jokes about this, but once I do it its a bad thing.
Didn't he say he had no idea what they were talking about and he would never pursue it now that the closet is opening, hes rushing to close it

With 5 people and atleast 2 of them under gag orders, it is highly likely all of it is true.
No! Go away! Nobody likes you!

I'm partly expecting this to end up like this: "I did not make sexual advances towards that woman. And she did not tell me to stop, and I did not stop and take her home because of it. And I did not sneak back into her house later. And I did not drug her while she was sleeping and have my way with her. And I did not, when I was finished, say to myself that 'I can't leave without my good buddy Superfly'. And my neighbor did not then come in and start having his way with her. And I did not say, 'Mmm, this is getting me in the mood for some pizza.' and make a pizza in her oven while my neighbor slept with her. And I did not spread cheese all over her and-" and so on. I'm a horrible person. [QUOTE=Swilly;33186456]It looks like Cain. Is having his Anniversary. [url]http://mirrors.rit.edu/instantCSI/[/url][/QUOTE] ... [I]What?[/I]

Hey guy's, I just got done with posting some polite well reasoned responses in an argument that concerned only the topic we we were originally on :suicide: [sp]I'm just joking, I tried to convince viewers of the Herman Cain press conference on youtube that being trustworthy is worth being inconvenienced for at most an hour, to take a polygraph[/sp]
Cain touched my genitals and shot my dog. No really, it happened five-hundred years ago from today in a past life where I was a narwhal.
