masterrig 1 #76 November 30, 2011 I watched a story on 60-Minutes recently, about the most notorious lobbyist in Washington. Before he went to the pen, he was worth millions and had Senators and Congressmen flocking to him to get some of the 'action'. When interviewed, he told of how he skirted laws and regulations to get to various politicians. I'm not saying that ALL lobbyists are crooked but the 60-minutes story did point-out how politicians have their hands-out looking for the perks.

dks13827 3 #79 December 1, 2011 I think the 'sexual harrassment' stuff is just women wanting money, and they got it. Geez.. you can't even tell a joke, or a 'my wife is your height' non joke without this PC crap these days. Do you think that this 13 year affair woman is truthful ? I dont know. Or did someone put her up to it, as was the case for Clarence Thomas. ( Okay, maybe he did tell a pubic hair on the coke can joke.. God !!! put him in jail !!!!! ) I will say one thing, I would only have to be written up or warned ONE TIME !!! Especially as a company executive, etc. After that I would never talk to a woman at the workplace unless witnesses were around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That means he'll still get matching funds as long as his campaign hasn't been canceled. Now he can pay off the millions in debts he's accrued with your money.The older I get the less I care who I piss off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All 3 are comedians. I heard on our local news that Cain, really isn't out of the 'race'. He has just suspended doing any more 'debates'. He is still, collecting campaign money . His wife has said she will stand by him, whatever he decides to do. (?) Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now if he could only make a little more money somehow . . . ==================== Herman Cain helped his brand, says expert Sunday, Oct. 2, 2011 AP - Herman Cain may have been forced out of the race for president amid accusations of unseemly and inappropriate sexual behavior, but his White House bid and surprising rise in the polls have nonetheless boosted his earning power, a branding expert told Hotsheet. Rob Frankel, author of "Revenge of Brand X," said the harassment allegations will "go away" and leave Cain with a valuable personal brand. ====================== The best of all three worlds!
