This seems like something the Perry camp would do, fits his personally as a gutless, coward.

Are you referring to Perry or Cain as a gutless coward. If Cain, can you elaborate on why you feel he is a gutless coward?

Probably has no reason.

We may finally know what inappropriate comments the Iowa radio DJ was alluding to when he added fuel to the fire by saying Cain made inappropriate comments to his female employees. Per the Des Moines Register:

“Cain said, ‘Darling, do you mind doctoring my tea for me?’” Deace said.

Of course the radio DJ now refuses to say what Cain said and leaves it up to our imagination to think Cain said something as bad as “suck my…” or as innocent as “darling”.

As a female, I HATE it when people call me darling or sweetie. If you aren't my significant other, you can take the pet names and shove it. I'm not your darling or your sweetie. If this was something constant by someone who I worked for, you can bet your ass I'd report him.

Would it not be a little easier if you just asked the person to please call you by name? Sweetie.

My mom is the exact same way and ive personally seen her flip out on a waitress that called her “honey”. I understand completely, but I think its ridiculous that the radio DJ refused to offer details on what Cain’s comment really was. Theres a difference between being sexually harassed and having a 65 year old man from Georgia with a southern dialect call you darling, sweetie or honey, without knowledge that you disapprove. The DJ is clearly attempting to smear Cain’s name by calling attention to Cain’s action while withholding details so that the public and media are free to speculate on what Cain actually said.

Perhaps this should be Cain's new campaign song?

Its easier said than done. Especially when its a superior, you feel like it may affect your job security or work environment. I've been physically sexually harassed at work too. It wasn't until one of my friends/former co-workers admitted she had been too that I felt confident enough to come forward. Just like rape victims, sometimes you wonder if you did something to warrant this happening to you. I felt gross and violated but was afraid of a variety of scenarios.

Really. RN has not received that much attention the last 20 times he ran for office.

Well, what corporation is going to sponsor him with money when he's openly against some of the actions carried out by corporations? Zero. That's how many. How many people get press time without corporate sponsorship? Zero. That's how many.


So can somebody tell me exactly what policies or stances he supports that makes him a bad candidate?

Actually that's a good question for Ralph Nadar. Where does Nadar stand on matters of national security and protecting our borders? What's his position on immigration, 2nd amendment rights, a woman's right to choose? How about the three trade agreements that the president just signed into law that will create thousands of jobs? Go to his website, you'd think you were redirected to Amazon.com book of the month club.

Look, Nadar has done some good things but his time has past. He's an old crank, hungry for attention and influence.

If he was really serious about changing the system, why not run for Congress or Senate? Elizabeth Warren is serious about Wall Street corruption and protecting consumers from unscrupulous practices by banks and mortgage lender. So you know what she did, ran for Senate. Why must Nadar run for President -- all the time? How about a state seat? I'm suspicious of his motives especially for someone who's not versed on a wide range of issues facing our country.

He's just not credible.
