Seriously, Herman. WTF?

Ok – I have to weigh in on this Herman Cain harassment stuff.
It’s obviously true. He tried to fight the good fight, lying and denying and smearing the victims. Then he didn’t, because he couldn’t. He’s another right wing nut job (9-9-9 Plan won’t cost middle and low income families any more money – and if it does, they can quit buying new stuff, because there won’t be a tax on used stuff…WTF????????) who tried to hide behind various skirts, no pun intended. He tried the Christian skirt, the Wealthy skirt, the LessTax skirt. None of them are big enough to shield a lech from the scrutiny that comes along with RUNNING FOR FRICKING PRESIDENT.
Which brings me to my core point – how in the hell did he not anticipate this coming out? And why didn’t he either a)preemptively announce it or b) have some kind of plan – besides lying through his teeth and changing his story – for addressing it when it DID come to the scummy surface?
Instead, like every other major ego with a dick, he lied and deflected (WAHHH! Rick Perry leaked it!). Maybe he has a brilliant political mind (not really, but for the sake of argument), but just can’t keep his hands and mouth to himself. Do we care if he hits on women every chance he gets? I don’t know. It seems to be a major problem for men in power.
What I do care about is his response to it. Same with Mr. Tinyweiner. LIARS. And Bill Clinton – a dog of the highest order. Funny how everyone can trash Obama for not magically waving a wand and fixing the nightmare that GW set up for him in his first couple of years in office, but at the very least, we don’t have anyone crawling out of the cracks like this. And you can bet that the Republicans looked. And looked. And looked.
I’ll bet that Ron Paul doesn’t have a problem keeping his johnson in his pants. Or Mitt, either. Not that I’d ever vote for Mitt, but I’m seriously considering Ron Paul. He has opinions – PERSONAL OPINIONS – about marriage and abortion, but he doesn’t think the government should be involved in it. He states that the government has more than enough to do to deal with the economy and job creation and foreign affairs without interjecting themselves into our personal romantic relationships and the relationship between a doctor and patient.
I agree. Get the hell out of my (and your) personal life. Worry about what the government should be worrying about. Quit trying to legislate morality to match the doctrine of a specific religion. Gawd, I’m sick to the teeth of all of this.
I really, truly believe it’s all a smoke screen to keep the masses from paying too close attention to the real problem, which is a select group of rich white men that want to get richer and more powerful, no matter how they do it or who they have to destroy/cripple in the process.

Ugh. Here is where you and I will differ. I am a huge Bill Clinton supporter. Yeah, I think he was a womanizer. Yeah, I think Hilary had to swallow hard (no pun intended) in order to put up with his horn dog self. And if Hilary was okay with all of it, well, fine. It is their marriage and I stay out of other marriages. I don’t really care about his womanizing as long as he was a brilliant president. And I think he was. He is the only president with the exception of Ronald Reagan (and he had the majority of house and senate, Clinton did not) to balance the budget. I think he left the office in good order when he left. And he worked both sides of the aisle. I think Obama had some heady ideas that are just not workable unless you work with both sides and he pretty much refused to do that. I think that if we gave him four more years, we would be in better shape. It took him a while to get it.
About Cain. I don’t really give a care about who he bedded or why. I care about his politics. And they stink. Truly. I mean, the whole 9-9-9 idea is not only unworkable but it doesn’t even measure up logically in any way.
As long as the sex was consented by both parties, I have no problem with it. In my marriage, fidelity is not only agreed upon, but insisted on. But, it is MY marriage. Someone else might have a different stance in their marriage.
I think Clinton is one of the few presidents that most people would enjoy having crash their bbq. If he came sauntering in and said, “Hey! Do I smell barbeque?”, I would be smiling. If George Bush came into my yard, my whole back would tense up.
