How did a person as dumb as him get $600,000,000? I apologize, but he just didn't seem that bright to me and I'm truly amazed that he is worth that much.
Yea, I'm sure you have room to judge other people's intelligence. You and Jazzy.

It seems he has made some wise investments in a rather low-risk portfolio. Also, he hasn't spent it all on hotel-sized mansions and Citation jets.
Politically, he's accumulated cash the same way Sarah Palin's spent the last couple years money-ing up...." Sell your visibility, not your viability."

He's probably smarter or more clever than me, but I would never think of running for president. The Libya, Taliban stuff just wasn't even close to presidential.

But you could say the extramarital sex was, lol...
Not like this is the 1st time a president or presidential candidate had a "dark" past, but in recent decades it has become something of an issue where it wasn't so much during the 1st century and 1/2 of our existance.
I've never understood why people with problems of this sort even try to run--they gotta know someone is gonna spill the beans at some point.
so this never had anything to do with it at all? "great philosophers" are pokemon movie lyrics? 999 tax structure from the Video Game SimCity? don't kid yourself it wasn't all his affairs, yes it did play a role in it but he wasn't a "real" candidate.

So where are all of these accusers now? They torpedoed Cain's campaign then disappeared. Why didn't they demand that criminal charges get filed? Or how about civil suites? If Herman Cain is such is as bad of a person as was alledged, he needs to be brought to justice.

Criminal charges for what? I don't recall him being accused of any misdemeanors or felonies, just of being a sleaze and a liar. That doesn't take away your freedom, but it generally makes it tough to raise campaign funds. If someone did make accusations of crimes, I missed it. Could you fill me in? ( that's what she said. )

If he put his hand up a a woman's skirt like he was accused of, that is sexual assault.

No, it isn't. It is an unwanted advance. If his hand had proceeded up her thigh to make contact with genitals, that would be sexual contact. If that sexual contact was unwanted and made without consent, that would be sexual assault. I don't see anyone other then yourself suggesting that it was sexual assault.
I don't see what he has done to earn your martyrdom of him. He seemed like someone who never had much of a chance to me, it was just his turn to be the front runner, just like everyone else.

If I remember correctly, his contributions went up after the first accuser came forward. After that, he tanked.

I'm the only one suggesting it was sexual assault?
