[Vision2020] Cain Quits

[Art Deco]

While I wouldn't vote for either of them, why is adultery a deal breaker for Cain, but not for Gingrich?

For me, it's not the adultery, but the hypocrisy of being a "family values" advocate while committing adultery.

I would think that we should be more concerned about how well he is able to perform his job duties, first and foremost.

However, if we want to talk about honesty and integrity then we shouldn't judge Cain before we know for sure whether or not he actually committed adultery.  From what I've heard, she says he did and he says he didn't.  Each one of them has reason enough to lie about it.  I'm not a Cain supporter, but I hate to see someone driven from the race because of sex.  As long as he sticks to human beings old enough to legally consent to sex, I don't care what he does in the bedroom.

      Why do people look to the President as a model of family values, anyway?  The President doesn't affect much in that regard, since the President doesn't author legislation.  He's a public servant doing a specific job.  I no more care if he is unfaithful to his significant other than I care if my local librarian is.  Which is not much, since it's not my business.

        Herman Cain announced on Saturday that he is suspending his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.

        The news comes in the wake of Cain being accused of having an extramarital affair and sexual harassment charges from more than a decade ago resurfacing. The former CEO of Godfather's Pizza has vehemently denied any wrongdoing amid the controversy. 

        On Saturday, Cain called the allegations "false" and said that they have had a "tremendous" and "painful price" on his family. His wife, Gloria Cain, stood behind him on stage as he spoke in their home stage of Georgia. 

        Looking to the future, Cain told his supporters that he is now turning to "Plan B," a new effort and website (TheCainSolutions.com) working "to be a voice for the people."
