		<description>&quot;Sexual harassment rarely ever really happens.  usually a non performer threatens a claim if being terminated or passed over.&quot; posed by catman

These statements of &quot;fact&quot; are not based on statistics, cases, or anything else.  We all have our stories.  Perhaps his daughters have not seen much sexual harassment.  That doesn&#039;t mean that it doesn&#039; t happen.  

When I worked in banking, I was vulgarly addressed by a man who worked with me and threatened.  I went to my boss, who was a woman and a vice president at the bank.  She said that without a witness there was nothing she could do--not even talk to him or have Human Resources talk to him.  I was humiliated.  I did not file a sexual harassment charge; I could not afford an attorney.  I just quit and moved on to another job.  My experience from 13 years in banking is that several women I worked with were sexually harassed.  I never discussed this with a man, but my feeling is that it happens to men also.   I am just grateful that most companies now conduct training so that their employees understand what sexual harassment is...

I don&#039;t know if Mr. Cain is guilty or not.  I believe that Bill Clinton was guilty of sexual harassment as well as having consensual sex with someone he was not married to.  He also lied to a grand jury.  Shouldn&#039;t we be grateful that IF Cain did what the women accuse him of that it is coming out now instead of later??? 

I do not understand all the name calling.  I am also disturbed by all the &quot;facts&quot; not supported by any links to evidence.</description>

		<description>Anybody have a picture of them together? Does not require nudity. It will go to whether Cain is telling the truth when he says he doesn&#039;t recognize her. Oh yeah, he&#039;ll probably say it was photoshopped or that it&#039;s not the same women, or one of another hundred lies.</description>

		<description>tm..if you were to actually sit on a board you will find agreements are often made when terminating someone. having two daughters in the corporate world and sitting on several boards sexual harassment rarely ever really happens. usually a non performer threatens a claim if being terminated or passed over. i will wait to judge until the facts are in. sounds like the gal at INS tired to pull the same stunt there. now unlike 15 years ago we dont settle to keep the insurance companies happy we say prove it and they cant.</description>

		<description>No one is destroying Herman Cain’s reputation more than Herman Cain.  If I were accused of something I didn&#039;t do, no settlements or no agreements would be made on my behalf, nothing less than a full recantation or apology would do. 

 I find it hard to believe that the American Restaurant Association would enter into these agreements without telling him. If this is the case and they didn’t tell him,  Cain should be suing that association for putting him in this position.</description>

		<description>It’s obviously clear that He didn&#039;t do it.  Otherwise, why did they wait so long before coming out?  Seriously!  They didn&#039;t say anything until after his numbers and supporters got strong; this guy has been on TV and radio way to long.  If it was honesty true, they would have came out a lot sooner.  So the question is?  who is paying them, how much?  The best part about all of it is the more they complain the more people are digging in.  They are already getting caught up in there lies.  They will end up destroying there own reputation, and hopefully for good.</description>

In a normal election cycle, your right the state of the economy is paramount.  However, today we have a Congress that&#039;s useless and the President seems to be the only one focused on jobs.  The republicans seem to be focused on each other and in giving the rich and wealthy more breaks at the expense of the middle class. In this case the electorate will more and likely give him a pass. 


 It took FDR a few years to get a handle on the depression but the people knew he was at least doing his best.  FDR knew how to enlist the help of the people, fireside chats, sending Eleanor to be with the out of work miners, etc; the President is doing the same thing.</description>

		<description>TMFERRETTI--TMFERRETTI--Not sure what youa re looking at.. here is a recent report from Rasmussen:
Tuesday, November 08, 2011

A generic Republican candidate continues to lead President Obama in a hypothetical Election 2012 matchup, this time by four points for the week ending Sunday, November 6. 

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds the generic Republican earning 46% support, while the president picks up 42% of the vote. 

I agree with you that polls are suspect, especially when differences in wording can make major swings in the result.. but the bottom line is that right now, Obama has more than his hands full winning reelection.. it doesn&#039;t look like he is going to have unemployment under 9%, there are record numbers of folks on food stamps, the debt is skyrocketing by double the rate it was under Bush, and remember what i said, while he beats most of the republican candidates in a head to head, its fairly close.. once  the nominee is selected and those who are dedicated to one of the candidates who is NOT the eventual nominee move their support to the nominee, it should make for a significant surge... right now, all the polls are pitting Obama against a divided field.. Which is why he wins those, but loses in several of the generics..</description>
