Cain accused again

Post Reply New Topic

Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

One thing I always try to do in my posts is "keep it real" -- while it's clear a lot of other posters don't.
About this latest revelation that Cain was a frequently money-lending friend to this ne'er-do-well Ginger White, without telling his wife -- as a married man myself, the "without telling his wife" part is a real no-no. That's the only part I have a problem with. (Although I would say that it is also unwise to keep giving a perpetual money-pit like Ginger more and more money to flush away -- much the way we taxpayers do for the U.S. government.)

I think the relationship was simply that -- a friendship involving frequent money loans and nothing else. BUT, he should definitely have told his wife, both that Ginger was a friend, and that he was loaning her money. I mean, if it's innocent, and you're wise, you tell your spouse. Or, if your spouse if the type to "blow up" about such matters, simply STOP LOANING MONEY and being so close a friend to that friend. So, either he wasn't innocent or he wasn't wise. I think what we're talking about is: inordinate emotional involvement with another woman. It can sneak up on you, because it's easy not to see a friendship attachment growing into a deeper and deeper friendship -- one that seriously merits you telling your spouse. That's my view, anyway. My wife and I are more open with each other than most couples I've observed seemed comfortable being with each other. It's not a "thought-hiding game", like most relationships are, and I'm grateful that we have that kind of mutual understanding that we can be that comfortable talking about our innermost thoughts.

But again, so far, what we're talking about here is something that went too far emotionally, which is the easiest trap to fall into unaware. Sometimes if you're concentrating on not crossing physical barriers, you can think you're doing alright. Then an invisible emotional barrier is crossed. Both my wife and I have experienced it, discussed them, and know it's simply a human failing that, as long as it's reversed in each case, is not a problem. I think Cain got too comfortable playing the role of the kind money lender. He should have told his wife, for sure. Even just before this, though, he wasn't poised lately to win the nomination, so it may not have actually hurt his chances.

As a Christian, he could have been mulling over Matt 5:42:

I'm a married man as well with a very close relationship with my wife, who genuinely is also my best friend, and I can tell you, I'd never carry on a "secret friendship" with another woman, as the very existence of such a relationship would be hurtful to my wife.

Yeah, but he never told her about it, so that makes it okay. There are plenty of Bible verses to back this up.

I'm really sorry about your Dad, and your friend's Aunt. I lost my Dad to renal failure back in '96.
As for Cain, it must be remembered, he did in fact survive his cancer, so he doubtlessly hadn't sunk so physically as low.

Uh Kraichgauer, Herman Cain probably was in the same shape as Ragtime's dad, only unlike Ragtime's dad, Herman Cain is one of the few people that managed to survive it.

Unless this woman is saying she raped Herman Cain in his hospital room, cause there was no way he could give consent, I seriously doubt this affair is real.

The alleged affair took 13 years wtf are you talking about raped in his hotel room?
Herman is giving the word on if he is even going to continue his bid on monday.

Allegedly this affair was taking place when he was in the hospital getting chemo and underwent surgeries to remove cancerous tissue.

I'm not talking about a flippin hotel room cause there was no flippin way he could have even gone to a hotel in that condition.

Tell me why? I don't like mondays.

Are any of the gambling sites taking bets on whether the King of Grope will remain in the race?
