CAIN & CHARACTER ASSASSINATION.

Herman Cain is in trouble, and he knows it. Character assassination is something that is being fabricated to screw up a person's character, but that is not what Cain is talking about.

What he is saying is that, although so far, three women have accused him of sexual harassment, and a fourth is saying that, she and Cain are having a fling until just last week. Cain, on the other hand, is saying that he is only being friends with the woman, as he is with the others, who are saying that his behavior is always friendly, but it has an ulterior motive. He flatly denies all the accusations.

Regarding the woman, who was asserting that she and Cain's affair has been going on for almost fourteen years, there should be no doubt that she was telling the truth. Her story being so authentic, it went beyond the biting of the finger that fed her; yet, who would do such a stupid thing?

She could have kept quiet and would continue to receive the attention and love from her benefactor and everything would be fine with her.

However, she came out to expose Cain as a liar. A person who was liable to deceive so many people and to work his way up to being the front runner in his party's race could use the same deception to become president.

If that was not scary, then it would mean there should be nothing truthful about any candidate running for office that could disqualify him or her, even if the said attribute could be detrimental to the party that he or she belonged to.

In Cain's case, he was not just an ordinary person wanting to become his party's errand boy; he was aspiring to be the president of the United States. As such, every little detail of his life counted for the public to know who he actually said he was.

The same should go for all the other candidates that were in the Republican Party nomination race; Romney, Bachmann, Paul, etc.; they should all be scrutinized in order for people to ascertain that they were electing someone that they could trust and believe.

As far as the woman from Atlanta was concerned, that could not be a character assassination charge, as Cain himself has admitted that he was just being philanthropic, and that he continued to help her out of a bad situation for fourteen years. Cain has therefore not been honest by his counter accusation that the woman was lying about him.

If he was being urged to drop out of the Republican race, that could be the main reason, that he was not an honest person. The Republican Party would not support him in that wise.

Cain was assessing and reassessing his candidacy; but so long as he paraded before the American people as a genuinely honest person, he was deceiving them. He was even deceiving himself that he would get the Republican nod.
