I was listening to the evening news and heard about Herman Cain's extra-maritial affair. He was asked by a FOX reporter if he had a 13 year affair with the woman. Cain replied he did not have a 13 year affair with the woman.

Naturally, trying to make it sound like he did not have an affair with the woman - but mentioned only a very specific time period. What was it - 12 years and 7 months?

Wow, makes Slick Willy seem like an amatuer, doesn't it?

Shame on FOX for going along with Cain on this sham. Why did they not just ask if he ever had an extra-maritial affair with the woman or with anyone instead of having him weasel word his way around the question?

Hope the cheating sleaze backs out of the Presidential race real soon.

IMHO I have a hard time understanding why the media is out to destroy this man. What is everyone afraid of. I don't believe anything the media has to say right now because each network has their own agenda and are pushing it anyway they can including fabrication. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the networks claim one of the candidates have undergone a sex change. Anything is possible when you are trying to make news out of nothing. I really hope the truth will come out before this political party makes it's selection. I don't believe in throwing rocks but I don't understand what everyone is afraid of. The opposite party has many many cheaters that find a way to get elected and then re-elected. Why, if this slur is true, any different than what we have elected before?? The media in this country has no morals anymore and I won't believe any accusations until they are proven to be the truth. It used to be you were innocent until proven guilty, but now the media makes you guilty and it is up to you to prove you are innocent. The candidates are spending all their time defending themselves and this is playing into the media agenda. I will be the first to say he should withdraw if the claims are proven to be true, but just because someone makes an accusation, doesn't make it true.

Let me see.....Gennifer Flowers comes out and says she had an affair with Clinton...this during his first run for President. She produced tapes to prove it.....he kept denying even said the tapes were doctored. Then Kathleen Wiley comes out and he denies that BUT then admits he did have an affair with Flowers (he went on 60 minutes and looked in the camera and said he did not right before the election).

All that makes him the ambassador for the Democratic party....seems to me that what he did then AND while President trumps any of this IF ANY IS TRUE.

thus the small people call him names, lambast Fox even though he was on CNN with a live interview but you know that doesnt count either.

It is not right or moral to cheat on your wife...PERIOD but if we are going to destroy this man, lets call all the other stuff fair game as well.

For me the voters decide if this is important to them....being so self righteous makes me wonder about WHY some are sooooooo self righteous

Did I not say that Clinton was a sleaze, too? Everyone knows that.

Herman Cain just tried to weasel word his denial by saying he did not have an affair for that specific time period (13 years). He did NOT say he did not have an affair at all - but just mentioned that specific time period.

Is it a lie? Probably not because the affair was probably not for exactly 13 years. Maybe 12 years and 8 months but NOT exactly 13 years so he did not lie.

Sounds quite a bit like Clinton saying that oral or cigar sex with Monica was not sexual relations. Or what is the definition of "is"?

Definitely, it is time for Cain to drop out of contention and start making pizza again.

Well the "cheating sleaze" as you called him must live with whatever he has done...sounds as if you know something as you pronounce him guilty

And that doggone Fox...how have they screwed up again....and that doggone Wolf Blitzer.....sorry you forgot to mention him..thought I would just help out.

How about instead of calling names, perhaps discuss issues...would be great for the forum to do that.

At this point it doesn't matter anymore.

Cain's candidacy is finished - his 15 minutes are up. It ended with his attempt to criticize Obama on his handling of Libya, and it turned into a debacle. This guy is not ready for prime time.

I am convinced that his goal all along was to write a book. This so-called run was just a way to get the gullible to buy his book, not unlike the 1/2-governor of Alaska.

Herb, we hardly knew ye.

The issue here is Herman Cain's alleged affair and his weasel wording trying to push past the exact 13 year time period.

The sleaze was already charged with sexual harassment by 4 different women and now one says she had an extra maritial affair (and has proof) of it.

Cain is now toast - or a pizza.

Coralway is probably right. He will have a book ghostwritten like Caribou Barbie did and hit the lecture circuit. The gullible will fork over their money.

I am not privy to why he ran, but think it was doomed from the get go. Primaries are very "different"...power plays WITHIN the party, etc. I worked closely on a few up north and in one case THE PARTY made one guy a frontrunner with comments, skewed polls, etc....for a lot of reasons but understand this is a PARTY event, not only looking for a candidate, but a message and future leaders. It has always been this way and continues...many of the candidates are simply seeking a more important place within their party

If Cain was a Democrat these allegations would be career enhancement. Unfortunately for him he is a Republican.

Amazing the nasty partisan things you see posted from someone who claims to be an ordained minister.

Not sure who or what you are talking about...can you clarify ?

The person who wrote the comment will know who they are - and it does not seem to be the words of a minister which they claim to be. But, I am not their judge.

If President Obama had been accused of eight counts of sexual assualt, a long term affair and three marriages in 2008, he would be the worst person in the world. But since it's Herman Cain and Speaker Gingrich, it's like well, boys will be boys.

Didn't Ann Coulter say her black is better than our black? Really? How?

You are judging the wrong "Sally" and not the one who posts here who is a minister and chaplain.

LOL.....Obama was "only" accused of a 20-year affair with one of the most venomous racists every to take the pulpit for the Chicago Machine, Jeremiah Wright. Only 20 years of tutelage under the screaming, ranting, foaming at the mouth Wright who spews Hate Whitey, Hate Hillary, and G-Damn America. But listening to that, calling Wright his "spiritual advisor" in print, getting married by, having his daughters baptized by, and paying into the "church" coffers for 20 years means nothing to the Democrat Chicago Machine.
