Let’s see here,
Herman Cain, accused of having an affair, is forced to quit. Bill Clinton, who has a white house intern half his age service him under his desk, is a Democrat icon.
Herman Cain is the drooling black predator. Clinton is the lovable white Bubba getting a little action.
Shades of the old (Democrat run) Jim Crow south!

Herman’s not forced to quit.

As far as I’m concerned, Herman Cain can keep running from now through 2016.

Good point, Mary. I wonder if we would have ever heard about Clinton/Monica if there were no Drudge. Ditto about John Edwards if there were no Enquierer. But with Cain the MSM was all over that from the first moment.

… or when your favorite Democrats cannot sexually harass and assault women without everyone turning a blind eye.

EGV,
You’ve never heard of Ted Kennedy? You never heard of Bill Clinton flashing Paula Jones?
In case you’re unaware, flashing is a sex offense and you would be in the slammer. According to the media, Clinton was “propositioning” Paula. Even if he was only “propositioning” would you not consider this inappropriate for a married man?
Oh, then there was that mistress of Clinton’s, but he only had sex with her once in 11 years.
Wonder where Gloria Allred is when its Democrats being accused.

Wonder where Gloria Allred is when its Democrats being accused.
When Paula Jones accused Bill Clinton of sexual harassment, Gloria Allred represented her.

According to Wikipedia Jones was initially represented by Gilbert Davis and Joseph Cammarata, then by the Rutherford Institute and a Dallas law firm. I can find nothing about Gloria Allred.
I will give Allred her due though. Despite being a Clinton supporter, she felt he should face impreachment for obstruction of justice and perjury. She was attacked as a “Clinton hater” by supporters of Clinton, much to her surprise.

More recently, when porn star Ginger Lee made allegations concerning Congressman Weiner (D-NY), Gloria Allred represented her.
So, regardless of whether you’re a member of Team Blue or Team Red, if you attract Gloria’s attention, you’d best lawyer-up.

Former pornographic actress Ginger Lee. Gloria seems to have a real affinity for porn stars.
She also represented porn stars who were “victimized” by Tiger Woods.
However, porn star or not, Weiner was wrong to coach her to lie concerning a texting scandal.
As I said I will give Gloria her due. I greatly admired her efforts to protect the Simpson children as well as other cases I have seen her involved in.

ALLRED JOINS JONES
A women’s legal rights organization led by lawyer Gloria Allred is planning to file court papers on behalf of Long Beach resident Paula Jones in her sexual harassment lawsuit against President Clinton.

The article stated “…Allred, who is president of the Women’s Equal Rights Legal Defense and Education Fund, said Tuesday the “friend of the court” brief will be filed once Ms.Jones’ attorneys appeal a judge’s decision…”
From what I’m reading, it would seem Ms.Jones already had her own attorneys and was not represented by Allred, at least not at that time.

You originally asked where Gloria Allred was when Bill Clinton was accused. Now you know. You should also know that Allred demanded that Clinton apologize to Paula Jones and resign from office. You will not hear that from the Right Wing Ministry of Truth because they were busily trying to kill the messenger in the Cain case–Gloria Allred.
I don’t know if Gloria was ever Paula Jones’ lead attorney. It doesn’t matter. But there’s absolutely no doubt that Gloria was “on the case.” That’s a matter of record.

As to your statement concerning Gloria Allred and “porn stars,” let’s just say that Gloria, like most criminal lawyers, represents people you wouldn’t normally go to lunch with, usually because they’ve been accused of one or more crimes.
“Porn stars” are just as entitled to representation as you are, even though they may live or work on the “wrong side of the tracks.”

No mp,
I asked where Gloria is when Democrats are accused.
The fact remains she did not legally represent Jones or act as her spokeswoman. Jones had her own attorneys. To Gloria’s credit she did involve herself. I know she thought Clinton should resign, largely because of perjury and obstruction of justice charges.
Trying to kill the messenger, Gloria Allred? Pu-leeze. Did you ever listen to Clinton’s toadies go after the women who accused him?

If you would had read my post correctly, you would have seen that I said that Ginger Lee being a porn star did not justify Weiner’s actions.
Also, I am hard pressed to be sympathetic to porn stars crying victimhood when they have affairs with married men.

Many times.
You seem to think that I’m on a “team” and I am; it’s called “my” team.
Red or Blue or Tea or “whatever” team means absolutely nothing to me.
They’re all corrupt.

“Shades of the old (Democrat run) Jim Crow south!”
Are you suggesting that Republican primary voters are racist? Since Herman Cain’s “suspension” of his campaign came about directly as a result of his tanking poll numbers among Republicans.

I like the last two best. Frank was instrumental in the economic downturn. And the OWS have been a thumb in the eye of the very people they claim to be for.

joan,
I’m pointing out that Clinton’s shenanigans were overlooked, or at least tolerated by an adoring liberal Democrat media.
Cain’s numbers aren’t the only ones tanked or tanking in the Republican primary.
Also if you do a little historical research, you will discover it was the Democrat Party that instituted segregation in the old south.

The first cartoon is suprising in it’s bluntness. I still hear pro-aborts crying about all the unwanted children who can’t find homes. Really? It sometimes takes years to adopt a child while at the same time perfectly healthy children are slaughtered for profit.

Cain clearly shot both his feet off. That said, he didn’t have to quit…

At the end of the day, factoring out those alleged incidents, Cain was still not a strong candidate. The Libya “answer” and his overall lack of foreign policy knowledge was becoming a huge problem, and his 9-9-9 plan was showing its wear as well (and he was continually having to adjust things as people poked holes in it). Cain supporters will blame the women – but Cain had very little shot. He was Rick Perry – fun for a while, but quickly proved to be a non-factor.

Ex-GOP,
I wish I could disagree with you, but I can’t. And it really started to grate on my nerves that he spoke as if English was his second language. George W. was accused of that, but in Cain’s case it’s absolutely true.

Somebody made the good point that for any and all failings, Herman Cain put himself “out there” and was willing to broach untested and controversial themes, as with the “9-9-9 plan.” Tell you what – in these times there is value in that.
