Okay so now I will write about Herman Cain.  I am not a Herman Cain supporter.  I think he has some interesting ideas, however, I am not supporting any of the candidates as of yet. I also believe that sexual harassment is  wrong and is not to be tolerated. The allegations that have surfaced over the past week alleging Mr. Cain sexually harassed three women while head of the National Restaurant Association are serious.  Politico broke the story, but there were no names to the sources.  It seemed a little fishy to me.  Then the lawyer of one the women that received a “settlement” was planning on talking but now won’t.  Again seems fishy.  Then the National Restaurant Association releases this statement:

Based upon the information currently available, we can confirm that more than a decade ago, in July 1999, Mr. Bennett’s client filed a formal internal complaint, in accordance with the Association’s existing policies prohibiting discrimination and harassment,” the NRA said, according to National Journal. “Mr. Herman Cain disputed the allegations in the complaint. The Association and Mr. Bennett’s client subsequently entered into an agreement to resolve the matter, without any admission of liability. Mr. Cain was not a party to that agreement.”

It seems as though Mr. Cain is off the hook. The National Restaurant and the alleged victim made an agreement.  Mr. Cain did not.  Now out trots Gloria Allred and a new woman that says she, too, was sexually harassed.  When I heard on the radio that she was a client of Gloria Allred all credibility was lost.  I wonder where Ms. Allred finds these women.  Does she put an ad in the paper? Does she have  a room of full of women that wait around until the next big scandal and say oh and by the way I was a victim, too.  The new accuser, Sharon Bialeck, had no problems reading a statement in front of the cameras.  As I watched this on the news, I thought if this happened to her why does she need to read a statement.  She stumbled over words and got teary eyed in the right places.  It just screamed phony.  Googling Sharon Bialeck will tell you that she has filed bankruptcy 2 times and has been a job hopper.  Now does that mean that her allegations are automatically false? If course not.  Why is she coming forward now?  The alleged incident happened in 1996 and Herman Cain ran for the Senate in Georgia in 2004.  Where was she then?  It doesn’t add up.  There is more to this story.   Why would anyone put themselves in a position of running for public office if they knew these types of allegations could potentially come out?  Again it doesn’t add up.  If he did do it, why not come out and tell the truth?  Honesty is after all the best policy.  But day after day, Mr. Cain says this isn’t true.  So who are we to believe or should we even care.
