Common sense(plus some gratuitous talking points) from conservative blogger Domas Jefferson. Excerpts:
Does character still matter to the Republican Party? We are about to find out. Today, a woman named Sharon Bialek fundamentally altered the race for the Republican nomination in 2012. The Herman Cain sex scandal is not going away, and either Herman Cain is lying or all of these women that are accusing Cain of sexual misconduct are lying. Normally, I would not write about unproven sex scandal rumors. And it is very important to note that the charges against Herman Cain have not been proven yet.
..
More importantly, will Republican voters demand the truth or will they just allow this whole thing to be brushed under the rug? Back during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Republicans insisted over and over that “character still matters” when it comes to selecting our leaders. Well, now that a candidate that millions of Republicans have fallen in love with has been accused of sexual misconduct we will see what Republicans actually do believe about character. (C'mon now.. Republicans only care about "public character," not "actual character..")
..
..Millions of Republicans have been put in a position where they will clearly be tremendous hypocrites if they continue to support Cain if these charges are proven true.
Let me be perfectly clear.
Multiple episodes of sexual harassment (if proven) should disqualify anyone from being president of the United States.
Multiple attempts to cheat on your wife (if proven) should disqualify anyone from being president of the United States.
Lying to the American people about incidents of sexual misconduct (if proven) should disqualify anyone from being president of the United States.
There are many that would disagree with those statements, but character still matters to me.
So did Herman Cain actually do these things?
Let’s take a look at the evidence that has emerged so far.
At this point we know that the National Restaurant Association paid money to two women to settle sexual harassment claims back in the 1990s.
One woman received a financial settlement of $35,000 and another received a financial settlement of $45,000.
Would the National Restaurant Association have paid out money to these women if their claims were totally baseless?
That is a legitimate question.
In addition, last week a third woman reported to the Associated Press that she also thought about filing a sexual harassment complaint against Herman Cain.
But none of those first three women have come forward publicly yet.
Bialek is the fourth woman to allege that Herman Cain is guilty of sexual misconduct, and she changed everything when she came forward publicly with her charges. (Not to mention the fact that Bialek seems to be a Republican!)
..
Hmmm…..someone is obviously not telling the truth.
So is it the four women that have charged him with sexual misconduct or is it Herman Cain?
More importantly, will the Republican Party even care?
According to a recent Gallup poll, just 53 percent of all Republicans say that they would rule out voting for a candidate if sexual harassment charges against that candidate were proven.
That is a very frightening number.
Look, if you use your power to try to force women to have sex with you, that should automatically disqualify you to be president.
Anyone that believes otherwise is not a real conservative.
..
Even if Herman Cain is completely and totally innocent of these charges, there is still no way that the Republican Party should nominate him.
As I wrote about the other day, the Federal Reserve is at the very heart of our economic problems and has greatly contributed to the financial bubbles that we have seen in recent years. We need to take the power to issue our currency away from the Federal Reserve and return it to the federal government, which is what the U.S. Constitution requires.
But Herman Cain would not do that. Herman Cain was once the chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Board, and he sees no problems with the Federal Reserve at all. (To extrapolate this thought out: Cain is NOT a "Political Outsider." He is an entrenched part of the Financial Machine that is the main reason for our global economic crisis!)
The following is what Herman Cain once had to say about the need for an audit of the Federal Reserve….
Not a bad article, yet the author fails to mention the real reason Herman Cain shouldn't and won't ever be President: He's already broken(Allegedly..) campaign finance laws, and this whole sexual shenanigans bullshit obscures the major problems he has yet, but will surely, have to face, sooner, rather than later..
Pay no attention to his defiant bluster: Herman Cain is in serious trouble, and only collective pressure from a majority of Republicans will push him from the race. Me? I'd looooove for him to still be a distracting, destructive force all the way to the Republican convention. But that's just me: I love to laugh, and next to Perry, Cain's the biggest clown around. Bless you PizzaFed; Thanks for all the good times to come..

Some people say that we ought to audit the Fed. Here’s what I do know. The Federal Reserve already has so many internal audits it’s ridiculous. I don’t know why people think we’re gonna learn this great amount of information by auditing the Federal Reserve.
I think a lot of people are calling for this audit of the Federal Reserve because they don’t know enough about it. There’s no hidden secrets going on in the Federal Reserve to my knowledge. (Shill-tastic, no?)The article continues on about Cain's dumbassery regarding his stupid 999 plan and not knowing China has nukes(He really is that fucking stupid--over the top dumb--like, Palin dumb! I'd like to know how he ended up with the KC Fed gig, although with like minded staffing throughout the Fed, that would explain how we ended up in our current economic cluster fuck..)
