UNREST & REVOLT

UNREST & REVOLT


Today, again the majority of news on National News is the discussion of GOP Presidential Candidate Herman Cain. What a pity for the public display of concerns of whether Mr. Cain did or did not sexually harass a former employee. Is it any wonder that the rest of the world has lost confidence in United States of America?
While we are in debt to the tune of trillions of dollars, the number of unemployed is at 9.1, one in four families are under the poverty level, we are at war in Afghanistan and have thousands of soldiers stationed in many other countries, soldiers coming home from Iran will be lucky to find a job, the countrys’ infrastructure is fallin in, schools, public servants and hospitals need money to continue their work, the Senate cannot agree on any bill passed by the Republican Congress on jobs bills and all we can talk about is “the Michael Jackson” murder trial and what the accusation of sexual harassment means for Mr. Cains’ campaign! WOW! Aren’t we brilliant?
I previously stated my thoughts about the accusation made about Herman Cain. Now those particular thoughts have been addressed in the media, and somewhat of a quazy answer has been aired. It has been reported that the president of the Restaurant Association says that Mr. Herman was not included in the negotiated settlement that they paid, and that the accuser has been released from the confidentiality agreement. The accusers attorney, who appears to be the attorney who filed the initial complaint for her, reports that she does not want to go public. I ask, why not? Is it fair that an accusation can be made that could conceivably ruin anothers life, remain silent and without consequence?
I would also like to know what Government position she currently holds, what department does she work in, and who is her supervisor. It is also being reported that two other women also complained about sexual harassment by Mr. Cain. Question, were they connected in any way with the first accuser?
As yet Herman Cains poll numbers have only moved up, not down. It is reported that his campaign contributions have increased significantly, while the GOP “old boys” are putting his chances of election are decreasing, specifically because the has never held a POLITICAL OFFICE! Well, get a grip out there, that is the specific reason his polls and contributions have gone up. The citizens of this country are sick and tired of the political machines in this country. We want our representatives to work for us, not for themselves, and are being rejected by the thousands of Occupy groups across the country.
If we are ever to pay off our debts, put people to work and regain respect globally there has to be a very big change in the White House.
