Guilty until
proven innocent.
This is the
un-American
standard set for
Republican
candidates when
attacked by the
liberal media.
Those who want
to destroy
Herman Cain’s
candidacy have
given no
consideration to
the FACT that
not one of the
thousands of
women Cain had
contact with
over his 40-year
career has ever
filed an Equal
Employment
Opportunity
Commission
complaint for
the record, an
action that
would have
resulted in Cain
being fired, if
the allegations
were proven
true. Why was no
such complaint
ever filed, if
Cain was,
indeed, a serial
sexual harasser
and created a
hostile work
environment, as
is being
alleged? The
answer is
simple. Herman
Cain has never
sexually
harassed any
one.
Those who are
relentlessly
attacking Cain
are ignoring the
exculpatory
statements made
by National
Restaurant
Association
(NRA) officials
who spoke on the
record, saying
that Cain never
harassed women.
Those quotes are
buried in the
last paragraph
of the original
Politico story:
Ron Magruder,
Denise Marie
Fugo and Joseph
Fassler, the
chair, vice
chair and
immediate past
chairman of the
National
Restaurant
Association
board of
directors at the
time of Cain’s
departure, said
they hadn’t
heard about any
complaints
regarding Cain
making unwanted
advances.
“I have never
heard that. It
would be news to
me,” said Fugo,
who runs a
Cleveland, Ohio,
catering
company, adding
such behavior
would be totally
out of character
for the Cain she
knew. “He’s very
gracious.”
Fassler, who
helped bring
Cain on board as
CEO of the
restaurant
association,
said that any
inappropriate
behavior was not
brought to his
attention and
that he would be
upset to learn
it had gone on
and he was not
made aware of
it.
“That’s a shock
to me,” Fassler
said. “As an
officer during
all of Herman’s
years there as a
paid executive…
none of that
stuff ever
surfaced to me.
Nobody ever
called me,
complained about
this, nor did I
ever hear that
from Peter
Kilgore, nor did
I ever hear that
from Herman
Cain.”
Fassler – who
ran a Phoenix
food-service
company and
finished his
term as chairman
the month before
Cain’s June 1999
departure but
remained on the
board’s
executive
committee –
described Cain
as treating men
and women
identically and
asserted it was
“not within his
character” to
make unwanted
advances. “It’s
not what I know
of him,” Fassler
said.
Much like
Fassler, almost
all board
members remember
Cain fondly and
say he left on
good terms.
Cain was
“extremely
professional”
and “fair” to
female staffers
at the
restaurant
association,
recalled Lee
Ellen Hayes, who
said she “worked
fairly closely
with” Cain in
the late 1990s,
when she was an
executive at the
National
Restaurant
Association
Education Fund,
a Chicago-based
offshoot of the
group.
The payments
made to two
women by the NRA
were made when
Cain was no
longer with the
organization.
Here is a link
to an article
“Sexual
Harassment's
Legal Morass”
by Curt
Levey that
explains, in
detail, why
corporations
will pay people
off, even when
complaints are
baseless. It’s
cheaper than
going through
the legal
process to prove
the complaints
are without
merit.
Disgruntled
employees know
this.
It would be a
national
travesty if we,
as Republican
primary voters,
sanction the
high-tech
lynching of a
decent, honest
and accomplished
black Republican
who is being
targeted for
destruction by
the liberal
press because he
dares to be a
conservative.
The liberals in
the media don’t
care one wit
about sexual
harassment.
Witness how they
embraced and
voted for
egregiously
philandering
Democrats such
as Bill Clinton,
Ted Kennedy and
John Edwards.
Details are in
the article
entitled
“Standards don’t
exist for Dems"
by Holly
Robichaud that
can be read by

The biased,
hypocritical
liberal
journalists are
hoping they can
cause Republican
primary voters
to turn against
Herman Cain, so
we will get
stuck with
another moderate
Republican as
our presidential
nominee who will
not inspire the
enthusiastic
support of the
Republican Party
base. This will
make it easier
for the liberal
press to drag
President Barack
Obama back into
the White House
so he can
complete his
systematic
destruction of
our economy with
his
out-of-control
spending and
crushing debt.
As author
Michael Scheuer
wrote, the
Democratic Party
is the party of
the four S’s:
slavery,
secession,
segregation and
now socialism.
Obama is a
socialist and is
bent on foisting
on America his
failed socialist
policies. A
general election
contest between
a black Democrat
socialist who
harbors disdain
for America and
a black
Republican
conservative who
embraces our
free enterprise
system and loves
America would
put in stark
relief the
choice facing
our country.
Below is a
summary of
Cain’s
educational and
managerial
experiences that
make him
imminently
qualified to be
our next
president. A
demonstration of
how effective he
is in debating
Democrats can be
seen from this
video:
“Herman Cain
Educates Clinton
on Economics in
1994 HC [Health
Care] Town Hall
Forum".
Unfortunately
for liberals in
the
Obama-controlled
state media who
are busily
destroying their
own profession
while gleefully
attacking Cain,
most Americans
have their eyes
wide open and
many Republican
primary voters
have embraced
Herman Cain as
the Citizens’
Candidate. An
insight into why
Cain’s support
among a
plurality of
Republicans has
not diminished
can be gained
from reading the
article
“Why We Should
Be Unfair to
Herman Cain”
by Andrew Klavan.
Cain is genuine,
a man of
integrity who
has the courage
to stand up for
truth, justice
and the American
way.

A Summary Of
Herman Cain’s
BIO That’s
Better Than Any
Candidate Of Any
Party
* Bachelor’s
degree in
Mathematics.
* Master’s
degree in
Computer
Science.
* Mathematician
for the Navy,
where he worked
on missile
ballistics
(making him a
rocket
scientist).
* Computer
systems analyst
for Coca-Cola.
* VP of
Corporate Data
Systems and
Services for
Pillsbury (this
is the top of
the ladder in
the computer
world, being in
charge of
information
systems for a
major
corporation).
All achieved
before reaching
the age of 35.
Since he reached
the top of the
information
systems world,
he changed
careers!
* Business
Manager. Took
charge of
Pillsbury’s 400
Burger King
restaurants in
the Philadelphia
area, which were
the company’s
poorest
performers in
the country.
He spent the
first nine
months learning
the business
from the ground
up, cooking
hamburger and
yes, cleaning
toilets. After
three years he
had turned them
into the
company’s best
performers.
* Godfather’s
Pizza CEO. Was
asked by
Pillsbury to
take charge of
their
Godfather’s
Pizza chain
(which was on
the verge of
bankruptcy). He
made it
profitable in 14
months.
* In 1988 he led
a buyout of the
Godfather’s
Pizza chain from
Pillsbury. He
was now the
owner of a
restaurant
chain. Again he
reached the top
of the ladder of
another
industry.
* He was also
chairman of the
National
Restaurant
Association
during this
time. This is a
group that
interacts with
government on
behalf of the
restaurant
industry, and it
gave him
political
experience from
the
non-politician
side.
Having reached
the top of a
second industry,
he changed
careers again!
* Adviser to the
Federal Reserve
System. Herman
Cain went to
work for the
Federal Reserve
Banking System
advising them on
how monetary
policy changes
would affect
American
businesses.
* Chairman of
the Kansas City
Federal Reserve
Bank. He worked
his way up to
the chairmanship
of a regional
Federal Reserve
Bank. This is
only one step
below the
chairmanship of
the entire
Federal Reserve
System (the top
banking position
in the country).
This position
allowed him to
see how monetary
policy is made
from the inside,
and understand
the political
forces that
impact the
monetary system.
After reaching
the top of the
banking
industry, he
changed careers
for a fourth
time!
* Writer and
public speaker.
He then started
to write and
speak on
leadership. His
books include
“Speak as a
Leader”, “CEO of
Self”,
“Leadership is
Common Sense”,
and “They Think
You’re Stupid”.
* Radio Host.
Around
2007—after a
remarkable
40-year
career—he
started hosting
a radio show on
WSB in Atlanta
(the largest
talk radio
station in the
country).
He did all this
starting from
rock bottom (his
father was a
chauffeur and
his mother was a
maid). When you
add up his
accomplishments
in his life,
including
reaching the top
of three
unrelated
industries
(information
systems,
business
management, and
banking), you
can see that
Cain may have
the most
impressive
resume of anyone
that has run for
the presidency
in the last half
century. He
knows more about
creating jobs
and the economy
than any of the
other candidates
running for
president. He
solves problems.
