Breaking News: Dem leaders reject Parker’s stand – WRAL

Response: See what Gwen Wilkins had to say about Parker’s latest email stating he has support of the Executive Council.

WRAL - Wilkins was on the call Parker referenced. She called WRAL tonight to offer the following statement.

"Chairman Parker stated in his email that he had met with the Executive Council via teleconference, and that he was gratified by their strong support for his continued chairmanship," Wilkins said.

"I was elected because dedicated and loyal Democrats had faith that I would not sit back and be quiet when the time came to speak up. Martin Luther King Jr. said that a person should not be judged by where he stands in times of comfort and convenience, but a man should be judged by where he stands in times of conflict and controversy."

"With that said, let me be clear: that all–and I stress ALL–those on the [state Democrats'] Executive Council have NOT indicated their support of Chairman Parker," Wilkins said. "It is my opinion that the statement made by him is misleading to the Democrats that elected him to office and to our voters." (More)

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — The first woman known to have filed a sexual harassment claim against GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain while he ran a trade group shows no interest in revealing her identity or publicly discussing her accusations against the Georgia businessman.

The woman, who works for one of New Jersey’s largest lobbying firms, has deliberately made herself scarce. She has taken time off work, avoided staying at her home and dodged reporters’ visits, phone calls and emails for weeks since news surfaced about her sexual harassment claim against Cain. Her family, including a brother who is a lawyer and lists employment cases among his specialties, has declined interview requests. (Read more)

Gloria Cain Fox News Interview: Herman Cain ‘Totally Respects Women’, Claims Don’t Ring True – Source: HuffPost

Herman Cain’s wife says sexual harassment allegations facing her husband don’t ring true because he "totally respects women."

In an interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren that is scheduled to air on Monday evening, Gloria Cain stands by her husband’s side. She said she could not believe the charges levied against him, telling Van Susteren: "I’m thinking he would have to have a split personality to do the things that were said." (Read more)

Response: So my question is did his wife know about the settlements before they came out recently? I would think that since they were supposedly settled out of court that she possibly didn’t know about the allegations. This may explain why she took it harder than he.

Oh well I am going to continue to follow Cain to see who is lying the women or him. Curmilus Dancy II – The Political Agitator
