Gloria Cain on Sharon Bialek: ‘Now That One I Totally Don’t Believe’

In a much anticipated interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Sustren, Gloria Cain spoke about her husband, GOP presidential contender Herman Cain’s, protective nature and that sexually harassing any woman is not “a part of his being.” Mrs. Cain was sure to point to Sharon Bialek specifically, when she told Van Sustren, “Now ‘that one’ I totally don’t believe.” She also told Van Sustren that her husband is “so old school… and old school people think they’re supposed to be women protectors.”

Mediate adds:

“I think I was in shock because I didn’t see it coming,” Cain told Van Susteren about the allegations. After a while, she decided “not to watch any more news, and I could tell my spirit started to lift.” Despite that, however, Gloria Cain and her children had to face the scrutiny of her neighbors, which she found particularly difficult. What those “throwing mud” on her husband didn’t realize, she explained, was that she and her children and everyone who knows him had to live with the repercussions of her actions.

Explaining why she does not believe any of the allegations made against her husband, Mrs. Cain said, “The person they’re talking about, I don’t know who that is, and if I haven’t seen parts of that person in 43 years, I don’t think I’m that simple that I would miss something that significant.”

While she acknowledged that “the woman at home is the last to know,“ Cain said she never sees herself as ”the little woman at home“ and that she would never put on a charade for the world while ”knowing that you were wrong.”

“I’m not going to do that,” she said.

Mrs. Cain also noted that she knew her husband could not have committed the acts for which he is accused as “his conscience would bother him and he couldn’t look me straight in the eye.”

When speaking about the strength of their relationship, Cain told Van Sustren that, like any couple, she and her husband have had their share of ups and downs but that throughout their 43 years of marriage they have always loved each other.

    Now2 t6hat one I totally don’t believe.

    Of course, you all being keen psychologists, will recognize that as classic Freudian slip revealing truth far beyond the words. she can (and probably DOES) believe the other claims. She has to, because she lived through them once already. She seems a nice lady. Certainly doesn’t deserve this shenanigans of this cad.

      True, it is a Freudian slip. Revealing what? That she has doubt…not that the accusations are true. You have no proof that she had to “live through them once already.” That’s called speculation. You suck as a reporter.

      That actually isn’t a Freudian slip. It’s a very common expression among some people – myself included. I know people who say that in almost every single conversation. It‘s a way of saying ’that statement was the dumbest of them all’. It‘s similar to the saying ’I didn‘t do nothing’ in the fact that the exact words don’t fit in a logical manner according to a dictionary style definition (in this case you could perceive Mrs. Cain’s statement as showing some doubt on the other matters, but it actually doesn’t). English has more words and slang than any other languages – and to make it worse there are both regional and multicultural variations. Listen to someone who is Canadian, and someone who is Californian, then someone who is from the east coast, then someone from the plains, then someone from Texas (I know people from all around; including some people from foreign countries in Asia and Europe). They all speak pretty differently. Go from one section of a city to another section and people don’t speak the same. It‘s one of the strange phrases in English and it’s a very common one in some places. I think I actually used that phrase myself when I saw Bialek on tv.

      Your Sensei:

      I’ve seen other posts made by you, and clearly you believe in “guilty until proven innocent”. This says two things about you:

      1) You are a strong supporter of someone other than Cain, and thus want to see him taken down.

      and/or

      2) You are ready to believe the worst in people, likely because you’ve had the poor luck of seeing the worst in those close to you- or, not to put too fine a point on it- are not too classy of a person yourself.

      Just my opinion. But I think I’m right.

      As for me, I think Mrs. Cain stated it very well: he wouldn’t be able to look her straight in the eye if he were guilty. That is Herman Cain. And that is why he is innocent- aside, of course, from the overwhelming likelihood based on Bialek’s past and present that she is almost certainly lying. She couldn’t even tell a simple truth about her living situation in the press conference, for crying out loud, claiming that she was being supported by her “fiancee” who it turns out is neither her fiancee nor is supporting her. And she has a history of filing harassment complaints. And one of two real complainants from the NRA turns out to have filed another sexual harassment complaint at her very next job- over the most retarded of reasons.

      So it‘s no one’s fault but your own, “sensei”, if you either haven’t done your research on this, or will continue to proclaim his guilt even against all the clear indications that he’s innocent.

      Herman Cain gets a free pass on ANYTHING he did in the 1990′s. Herman could not answer a question about Lybia; so what? Our current President does NOT understand that Hawaii is part of the United States; he thinks it is part of Asia. Our current President does NOT know we have 50 States, he thinks we have 57 or 58 states that he travelled in and campaigned in before his election.

      Yes but there is a big different between adultery, which is a sin but not against the laws of the land, otherwise Gingrich would have been in jail already. But sexual harassment, is against the laws of the land and if there is touching, is a sexual assault. But then again, for the GOP it is nothing when it is one of their own who does it. Look at Clarence Thomas, there were even witnesses. And he still got nominated and given one of the most prestigious positions that are supposed to be base on the moral values of the land. Right now they have a conflict of interest in the health care hearings but they are not going to excuse themselves.

      Bakko…are you kidding me? Have none of you people done any real research on these supposed scandals?

      Bialek to recap, couldn’t even tell the truth at her press conference, in which she claimed to be living with her “fiancee”- turns out that guy isn’t her fiancee, they aren’t living together, and he isn’t supporting her “so that she can be a full time homemaker”. She claimed she isn’t taking government assistance, yet hasn’t worked in two years- and she knows David Axelrod!

      Where is the investigative reporting on that, and how she manages to pay someone like Allred, of all people? Bialek has also filed a harassment claim against a previous boyfriend, and has debt piling up. She’s lying, and making money off of that lie.

      Of the two real claimants from the NRA, the woman who got the larger settlement of $45,000 went on to her next job to file another sexual harassment claim based on a few jokes sent around in a group email. The jokes were ridiculous, and I’ve quoted them on here before. The worst one was “A guy is like a computer because in order to get him to do anything you have to turn him on.” Um….what?

      Wow. And she demanded at $15,000 pay raise due to this “sexual harassment”. She didn’t get it- probably because she wasn’t accusing the freaking CEO of the company, as she did last time. Sheesh.

      If this is the worst they can through at Cain, then he’s as pure as the wind driven snow by political standards.

      Not to mention the fact that every accusation against Cain has come from a 2 and a half year period of time in his life- when he was at the NRA. Nothing before, nothing since. He’s owned his own company, been CEO of multiple companies, in other words been in the cliche “position of power” for much longer than his time at the NRA. So why is it only that time in which anything has “come to light”?

      The Illinois branch of the NRA is headed by a personal friend of David Axelrod- something who may have gotten the job there thanks to him. Does this not ring warning bells in anyone’s mind besides my own?

      I’m sick of having the nominee manipulated by the liberal left. But for that to stop, it requires people to do their research and figure things out for themselves.

    He’s had a vast radio show audience for YEARS, and was NEVER in hiding.
    And, these DIM-WITS didn’t say a word???/ COME ON!

    to GO AWAY…it was determined to be unfounded & baseless, to which she didn’t obtain
    a Lawyer to fight it, IF she was not satified with the decision-

    AND PROBABLY BURNED RUBBER GETTING OUT OF THERE-
    with a few dollars in hand….THAT’S ALL IT TOOK! ( 1 yr.’s salary)
    She had NOTHING THEN….OR NOW!

    I hope these women are not able to look at themselves in the mirror.
    IF they have a conscious – I hope it DRIVES THEM BATTY…for the pain, anguish
    and humiliation they have caused the Cain Family.

    People looking for a reason to hate Herman Cain will jump on anything Gloria Cain says to try and make their point. Let me explain. Mrs Cain said that she doesn’t believe Herman did anything wrong. She said she questioned her husband about the claim filed by Karen Karshaar and that after questioning him she was convinced that Herman did nothing wrong. That is not the action of a lady making excuses or running from the truth. That is the action of a woman looking for the truth. Mrs Cain is simply saying that the claims made by Sharon Bialek were just so outrageous that she didn’t even have to spend a minute questioning whether it was true or not. As a matter of fact, Sharon Bialek’s comments sounded rediculous to me when I heard them too. A lot of what Bialek said didn’t make common sense to me. If Herman paid to upgrade her room why would he need to leave the hotel and try to come on to her in a car in the open beside the road. He could have just said let’s go to your room and discuss job openings. Also, it is hard to push someone‘s head into your crotch when in a car because the person’s head would hit the steering wheel. Mrs Cain wasn’t saying she believed one lady but not the other. She was simply saying that one lady‘s claims were just so outrageous that it didn’t even seem half-way true so she saw not reason to question her husband about it. Don‘t try to pretend there’s some secret message in what Gloria Cain was saying.

      I’m not looking for a reason to hate Herman Cain. Actually, he was one of my top choices early on to learn more about. Sadly, the more I’m learning about him and the more I hear him speak, the less confidence I am having. The new fact that his wife is a Democrat while he is the “Tea Party Candidate” just doesn’t sit well with me. In addition, he attends a liberal, activist church. Have we learned nothing over the last 3 years?

      All you Cain haters had better get used to hearing his name and start thinking about voting for him. Here’s why…
      There is going to be some historic record breaking voter cheating and intimidation in the upcoming election. In fact, this is how Obama’s team will pull off a win for him if we allow it to happen. If you think having a few poll watchers show up on election day will take care of the problem then you are seriously naive.
      The only way we will be able to counter what is expected is by having a candidate (on our side) win by at least a 20 point margin. As it stands today, only Herman Cain can deliver the margins we need. The biggest reason is because he is the ONLY candidate we have that can strip away over 30% of the minority vote from Obama, and get a sizeable amount of Independents. These two items, but mostly the minority vote, is what will get our one of our guys and/or gals elected to POTUS.
      I know that everyone has their favorite guy or gal they want to see in the White House, but if you really want Obama to get fired from his present job you are going to have to start thinking about reality. And right now reality and logic dictates that Cain has the best chance of firing Obama.

      And that after all is our number one priority in 2012.

      Remember, the day that Obama has to step down from the POTUS position, is the day America starts it’s recovery!

I would still like to have Herman talk to the NRA about releasing the complaints filed years ago, with the name of the one woman redacted since the other has been brought to light. He needs to be upfront and open rather than just insisting they were unfounded. If so, then get the issue cleared up so we can go on without questioning what happened.

I like what Herman says but we sure need to look at much more than what the candidates say, remember last election.
      I think that is the biggest problem in the voting electorate is people vote by what the candidate says instead of facts they find about them! Success, experience in government is factors that should be considered. I think voting for a Senator or congressman is blind voting. They have never been in charge of anything, they are only one vote of a much larger body, they don’t make any decisions as an individual, totally different than an executive experience as we can tell from what we have now.

      I like her. Is she really a Democrat? lol… must be some good arguments in that house. Probably like the ones I have with my mother about polotics.

      Wow! Ideologically, the Democratic party of today is a combination of everything that is wrong in this country. Mr. Cain attends a liberal, civil-rights activist church. Does no one see a dichotomy here?

      @ COPATRIOTS
      I go to a liberal church too but I am able to make a big difference there or I would not be there.
      Very good point. I understand that Herman’s individual church is theologicaly conservative though.
