Herman Cain: ‘A Week From Now, I Will Have Made a Final Decision’

Herman Cain said Wednesday he will decide within a week whether or not to stay in the presidential race, a day after he said he was “reassessing” his campaign.
(Related: This is the Audio From Cain‘s ’Reassessment’ Phone Call)
Coming off a Georgia businesswoman’s allegations of a 13-year affair with the married candidate, Cain said his family is his No. 1 priority as he makes the decision, which will be soon.
“A week from now, I will have made a final decision,” he said in a Fox News interview with Neil Cavuto.
Cain said he’s also listening to feedback from his supporters and looking at whether people are continuing to contribute to his campaign in spite of all the allegations made against him.
Cain has fiercely denied any wrongdoing in any of the sexual harassment claims made against him or the affair allegation. He said his latest accuser, Ginger White, was a friend whom he was helping financially — something he’s done for many people.
“Over the years, because I have been successful, I have helped many people financially,” Cain said. “She was someone that I considered a friend, although apparently she’s not, that I was helping because she was having financial troubles.”
White has produced phone records she says are proof of her relationship with Cain. He told Fox News he and his legal counsel trying to get those records.
“If she were texting me at four or five in the morning…that doesn’t mean I was calling her,” Cain said. “All it says was 61 calls — I talk to a lot of people 61 times, we don’t even know over what period of time [they cover].”
Cain said he couldn‘t say for certain whether White’s allegations would be the last to surface.
“I was in business for over 40 years. I have worked with and helped a lot of people, male and female. There is no way for me to say unequivocally that somebody else may not come up,” he said.
Cain said the latest allegations are all part of a “character assassination.”
“This is a character assassination of me. Why? Because I was doing so well. There’s no other reason to basically explain it,” he said. “This is about trying to bring down Herman Cain. But if they’re going to bring down Herman Cain at a heavy price for my family, I am in the process of reassessing that.”

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 8:02pmRepublicans should absolutely demand that their candidates exemplify the highest degree of honesty, morality, and character, otherwise we are just Democrats. I know a lot of people were 100% behind Cain and thought he was a great guy, but come on… what does it take to make you see that he’s no better than “Slick Willie” Clinton? Cain initially lied when the first sexual harassment accusations were made public and he said on Fox News that he was not aware of any settlements. Later that same night on Greta he said that he actually was aware of the settlements. Now with this new information of a long term infidelity, his attorney says it’s a private matter and the media should stay out of peoples bedrooms. That sounds at the very least like an Alfred Plea to me. Cain was never my candidate but to anyone who demands good character in a candidate, Cain is out.
With that said, on to the next phony…..please watch this video

Report Post »I woke up a couple of years ago when I realized that the Republican Party that I have supported since 1980 has been hijacked by neoconservatives. I didn’t even realize that I was a neocon. When I learned the true history of American conservatism and studied true republicans like Thomas Jefferson I was immediately awakened to the true principles that made America great. Now I know that the difference between the majority of todays Republicans and Democrats is almost nothing. Both liberals and neocons are big-government statists. Since I woke up, I’m not only no longer a neocon, I clearly see that the neocons are no better than left-wing liberals.

Instead of slandering Paul you should understand earmarks. Please watch this video and you will see that Paul does exactly what a good U.S. Rep should do in regards to earmarks.
http://www.ronpaul.com/2009-03-11/ron-paul-on-earmarks/
The false criticisms that you Ron Paul haters constantly use are easily refuted. He is not an isolationist, he is not an earmark abuser, he does not condone drug use, he is not naive on foreign policy. A little honest research exposes all of these criticisms as patently false.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 9:46pmYou guys are fighting about earmarks. Yeah I have seen Ron Paul’s propoganda speech on earmarks and his argument that it would only remove 1% of the budget, that is a savings isn’t it, even for a fiscal hawk he should know that. Talking about them being in the constitution, its true, but that is why they created appropriation bills which distributes funds where they are suppose to instead of being used as bribes for congressmen and senators to vote on a bill.
Ron Paul is the biggest hypocrite on this issue because he puts earmarks in bills that he won’t vote for just because he know they will pass then he votes against them and say oh well, I still benefit from bad legislation. HYPOCRICY.
Then his supporters are hypocrites because they tell us to stop attacking Ron Paul and his flip-flops and hypocricy even though they attack everyone else. HYPOCRICY.

Report Post »Putting earmarks into bad legislation and then voting no is not hypocrisy. It is exactly the right thing for a representative to do. If the legislation is bad of course he should vote no. If he knows that it is going to pass regardless of his vote, he should try to recover some money for his constituency. By the way his earmarks are not for frivilous things like bridges to nowhere and airports.libraries and daycare centers named for him, but for projects that benefit the voters in his district. How you figure that to be hypocritical, I don’t know.

I believe he has been honest, and I believe he is under fierce attack because the dems and lefties don’t ever want to see Cain–or any black conservative–be elected to high office, or for that matter to earn a Republican nomination. He is being sabotaged, and the conservatives are standing back, can’t get away from him fast enough, because they don’t want to get caught in the fallout. Disgusting!

She sounds too much like that silly girl who accused Justin Bieber of being her baby’s father. Imho, follow the money. Imho, White’s a slanderer for hire. White says she wouldn‘t vote for Mr Cain and that puts her in BHO’s camp.
BHO Is Scared Out Of His Mind Of Herman Cain. If Mr Cain was a white man, BHO would be playing the race card and the slander card simultaneously. As it is, all BHO has is the slander card and he’s digging deep for all the mud he can hurl. Imho, Ginger white is a BHO puppet and she’s being paid a lot of money for slandering Mr Cain. Her business card probably reads: “Will Do Anything For Money.”
After BHO’s been evicted from Washington, DC and he no longer has the “protection” he has now, the stories that could come out, from the BHO insiders, about the BHO years might be very interesting. What about the BHO thuggery and the BHO slander machine, etc?
I hope Herman Cain hangs tough and stays in the race and sues those slanderers-for-hire for all the money they’ve been paid by BHO. That will destroy BHO’s slander card and after that, BHO’s got nothing.

This latest round of accusations is completely implausible. A man battling Stage 4 colon cancer will not carry on a “thirteen-year affair” with anyone, and that’s that. Not gonna happen. Back in the day, reputable news outlets would refrain from publishing groundless accusations that obviously conflicted with known facts.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 7:59pmI can honestly say that if these attacks were being leveraged at any of the other candidates I’d feel the same way. The allegations are shaky at best–the “evidence” is even worse! It doesn’t take a law degree to see how many holes are in the stories of the women who have been attempting to cause doubts in the minds of American voters–for whatever reasons. No matter the candidate–even if it was Barack Obama, I’d believe these particular allegations to be false and the attacks to be WRONG.
It will be Cain today and some other successful or gaining candidate tomorrow–any and all the left and elite right deem “dangerous” to their agendas.
If any other candidate these two groups do not like start taking over the #1 or even #2 in the polls (Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum) we may be amazed at who comes out of the woodwork to accuse them of things they supposedly said and or did 10+ years ago.
I don’t blame Cain for considering his family in all of this–he should. Without their support, this battle will be even harder. He needs their full support and I hope for the sake of our country that he has it!

I know he’s dead serious about cleaning house and getting rid of the thieving FED, and seriously reducing government control. I having read George Washington’s farewell address, his foreign policy mimicks George’s. We need a strong and decisive national DEFENCE. We don’t have the resources or demonstrated restraint to police the world. Power corrupts. All these candidates talking about how we need to interfere in other sovereign nations is disgusting.
I’m fed up with sending our young men (and women now) and billions into countries where God had the perfect government systems set up for theocratic crazies…a nice hard core somewhat secular dictator that kept these nut-jobs at bay.

You seem to be trying to make Ron Paul the villain for providing valuable information to people who want their presidential candidates to be honest, consistent, trustworthy, and conservative. Newt has a multitude of examples of words and actions that contradict those important qualities. You should thank the Ron Paul campaign for succinctly exposing Newt as a false conservative, a disingenuous person, and a typical good ole boys club politician. Do you think for a moment that if Paul had a verifyable history of questionable integrity that the other GOP candidates wouldn’t expose it?

Report Post »As a police detective who has interrogated murder suspects, and who shares an office with a police polygraph examiner, I found Pauls adamant denials to be consistent with a truthful response to a false, incredulous and offensive accusation.
For you to call it “dancing” and lying shows that you don’t know a thing about assessing truthfulness. The fact that you favor status quo lying politicians over an honest, decent, Christian conservative proves the point.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 7:48pmIsn’t it interesting, when any of the GOP candidates rise to the top, they immediately get “demonized” by the Left !! Well, IF President Barack Hussein Obama would have been vetted properly and under the same scrutiny – HE WOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT TODAY !!!!!!!!!!!
Remember the Communist ruling : Demonize, Divide, Conquer – - – - – -
At this time, I have no opinion of Herman Cain – it is just so strange all these “gals” are coming out of the woodwork at this time – they all seem to have financial problems. The first 3 are from Chicago , friends of Tony Rezko (who was just sentenced what 3-l0 years) he was the realtor tied in with Obama out of South Chicago, one or two of them rented from Rezko. This last gal stated that Mr. Cain would not make a good President – after seeing him and dating for l3 years and now this????? He must have been a good “money provider” !!!!!!! This case kinda “smells” !!

If you are GOD’s man, then BE GOD’S man. You know very well, as does your family, that following GOD does not come without a price, a high price by any standard.
No one EVER floats into the Presidency of the USA like the imposter bho and his nasty czarists commie users from hell did totally unscathed. satan was alive and well and still is in that group and all who follow them.
Moses didn’t want to be the leader, but GOD said HE needed Moses.
Samuel thought it was Eli calling him, but it was GOD.
David was just a lad, but GOD said HE needed David.
Saul persecuted JESUS, but GOD said HE needed Saul to be Paul.
Mr. Cain, IF you ARE GOD’S man for our country, then HE WILL GIVE YOU THE COURAGE, STRENGTH AND BLESSINGS you need to run this race.
If you are innocent of these slanderous charges, then I do believe you ARE HIS man.
If you are guilty of these charges, then I pray you have the strength of character to step aside.
May GOD BLESS AND PROTECT you and your family.

You are the one in desperate need of a wake-up call. We have written Ron Paul newsletters with racists hatred, and Paulites will quickly believe that Ron Paul new nothing about them, but when questionable women with shady histories come forward, and without any form of evidence whatever accuse Cain of wrongdoing the Paulites jump on the bandwagon. Quit being hypocritical jackwads and acknowledge that these accusations are beyond questionable bordering on absurd. You either automatically believe stuff or you look for evidence, otherwise you are just playing the same political games of the left

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 7:26pmI am not so much concerned about these allegations as I am his stance toward the First Amendment told through his attorney:
“This is not an accusation of harassment in the workplace – this is not an accusation of an assault – which are subject matters of legitimate inquiry to a political candidate.
Rather, this appears to be an accusation of private, alleged consensual conduct between adults – a subject matter which is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public. No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life. The public‘s right to know and the media’s right to report has boundaries and most certainly those boundaries end outside of one’s bedroom door.”
I understand that the First Amendment does not protect against speech that could cause bodily harm like falsely yelling fire in a crowded theatre, but when you are running for President, your moral character is fair game.
We already have a POTUS that thinks the Constitution is full of negative liberties, we do not need another one.

Posted on November 30, 2011 at 8:14pm@Debbie, He was accused of sexually harrassing two women who settled with his employer and signed a confidentiality agreement, which they honored. He then accused them of hiding behind the silence that was legally imposed on them. He’s a vicious liar and he tried to defame the women in the same way he accused them of doing to him.
By the way, stating the someone is naive when they demonstrate little understanding of the political process is not calling names, it’s stating a simple truth. You are entitled to your opinions, but they should be based on sound reasoning, and yours really aren’t. This stuff didn‘t come out two years ago because he wasn’t running for President, he was working for a Koch brothers funded lobbying group, he was a private citizen, now he’s running for national office. His affairs, even the settlements aren’t as important as his reaction to them. When faced with his past, he lied and then he blamed the victims for things he had done and people like you jumped on to them, rather than asking yourself if this is any way to behave. When getting caught with cookie crumbs on his face and fingers, Cain has become righteously indignant and angrily blamed the cookies for jumping into his mouth and smearing his fingers, and he’s blaming the people who saw the crumbs for assassinating his character! That is not the kind of man you want in the White House, or as far as that goes, in the house next door. He’s a cad.
