What is the big deal about Cain?

Sometime in his past some women charge him with sexual harassment.

I thought have Clinton and Paula Jones it was OK for a man to use his power of office to prevent someone from having their day in court. It was OK to smear the woman who brings up charges against a man.

Doesn't this sound like a lot like what happen to Thomas during his hearings?

Please remember where that got liberals last time.

If the past is so important why wasn't Obama's past an issue when he ran for president?

If you can't see a double standard I suggest you get your eyes check.

Update:

    There is always a double standard with partisan politics. With Clinton it was "a private matter" and "no one's business" but now those same people want to demonize Cain for being a womanizer.

    He's a black conservative and that scares the liberals. They want black people to stay on the democratic plantation. If he's popular on the right, the whole conservatives are racist argument goes out the window. If you notice the libs are pushing for Romney just like they pushed for McCain. They know that with Cain on the right, it will take race off the table for the general.

    My eyes are good as is my brain. Jones was an allegation. In the case of Cain it was documented and the person involved was paid off and twice I might add. Now there is a third person. Plus Cain at first said it was not true then he said he had forgetten which is hard to swallow because anyone who is found guilty and pays is not likely to forget. So its not the harassment part but it shows poor judgment and then lies about it. As to Obamas past, what about it?

    The big deal is that Cain is part of that "Family Values" Republican Party. You know, the morally superior party that went after Clinton over issues based on his moral conduct and then impeached him.

    When Republican politicians mess up, as they regularly do, Republicans forget about their moral superiority and start dredging up every Democrat in history. Hypocrisy, thy name is Republican.

    Who cares? 99% of the allegations against politicians are phony anyway.

    You can't be black and be republican. The dems need the African American vote,if they lose it they are finished. If the African American community actually did some research in history they would never vote Democrat.
