One years pay. It happened during a night of heavy drinking. One sexual harrasser is no different than any other. You really show what you think of women, in this post.

I heard it was a 3 month serverance. And I heard it was determined to be baseless. You're going to hear anything you want during this election cycle and I have already pointed this fact of life out on other threads. FWIW I like Perry, and that isn't a secret either. As far as the 'women' comment goes; I have worked in what I consider to be a broad range of environments. My observations on sexual harrassment have shown me that the greater majority of women are not at all adverse to skirt the edges in conversation which has sexual overtones. On the other hand, women who have no interest in sending out little "I might be interested" suggestive comments, simply do not go there. The latter leaves little doubt in the mind of all male co-workers and associates, that she is not soliciting her own troupe of 'just in case men'. I don't lump all women into a catagory. What we're talking about here is a guy who is full of himself wrongly believing he is irresistable and throws himself around the workplace like unwanted trash. The classic narcicist, ala Bill Clinton. That's wrong in my book and I have seen it happen and when it does it should be dealt with.

Since we have no idea, nor will we have any idea, who these offended ones are, I believe it is wrong to throw out open ended allegations like this against Herman Cain because it is impossible for him to vidicate or defend himself in the minds of the voting public against faceless accusers. The conditions of their so called settlement provide for their silence on the matter. However, I will say that if Cain is guilty as charged it's better to learn about it now. As I said, the problem with all this is he will never get to face his accusers.

It is truly unfortunate that people running for elected office so often have a closet somewhere crammed with skeletons. It's also unfortunate that elected officials hold others to high moral standards after having failed so miserably in that area themselves. Just another reason to support Perry.
