I'm a little tired of Cain and media pointing out that women he exploited had "financial problems" |
|
I'd be shocked if they DIDN'T have financial problems since Herman Cain obviously targeted vulnerable women. Men like him use their money and status to attract women - and invariably, as a result, the women they attract are women who need financial support and are impressed by what he can do for them.
After all, I don't know any financially-secure woman who would waste her time with anyone like him.
So the fact that these women have money problems in no way proves that they are lying about Cain - in my view, it only further demonstrates what kind of person he is.

Makes the women seem more like prostitutes, exchanging goods for sex.

Attack the accuser is ever the Republican method. They don't even try to find positive evidence.

3. We need a OTM (occupy the media) or |
|
OTP (occupy the pundits) because all we get is face time for the losers in the Republican party and their care-givers. The media need to be taught that American Citizens (barring Republicans) are not stupid! They will never win the Entertainer of the Year award even if they are applying for it. How do we start a FUA? (fed up Americans)

6. Elitist conservatives believe that poor people exist to be exploited. |
|
Cain just takes a more personal approach than most.

7. Don't forget, since 1/3/1995, the House and the Senate were controlled by |
|
Republicans during all the times that Cain's "indiscretions" were going on ... and they can pressure the IRS/other things to cause specific people problems ...

8. It has turned into a sordid mess. Cain needs to drop out of the |
|
campaign, go home and shut the hell up.

9. He'd like to call them "money-grubbing whores" in public but knows there |
|
might be a tiny bit of backlash if he did.
More dog-whistles, this time sexist instead of racist.

11. Sexual predators of young boys |
|
also target vulnerable children who seem to have no strong protectors. Same thing, and he is really a sexual predator.

14. He sounds like a typical predator. |
|
If most of these women had financial problems, that may have been the reason why they sought his help in the first place. Apparently, he must think that there's no free lunch in life and that they had to "pay" for helping them to procure a job. Nothing new, the term "casting couch" was coined decades ago. It not only applies to show business. I've seen more predators in the business world that I saw in my years of acting.

16. He obviously has a soft spot for anyone in need. |
|
Oh, wait. He wasn't helping any MEN with financial problems, was he?
Predator scum.

19. He likes to feel powerful by comparison. That's easier |

with women who are having financial problems.

18. Pedophiles go after vulnerable children. Men like Cain go after vulnerable women. |
|
Of course she's having financial problems. That's what makes her attractive to him. He can feel powerful by comparison.

20. It also makes it much less likely that she'll give him any trouble |
|
Since, after all, who would take the word of a nobody with money problems over that of a wealthy, connected powerful businessman like Herman Cain?
He knew exactly what he was doing.
Only he didn't . . .

23. In my fantasy scenario, Mrs. Cain takes him to the cleaners in a divorce settlement |
|
Edited on Thu Dec-01-11 11:05 AM by CTyankee
and then he won't have money to "offer" to vulnerable women...
yep, that would be good karma!!
