What a day today was with the Cain sexual harrassment story and Perry's NH speech!!!

I sear, Perry was either drunk, high or in a manic phase due to too much halloween candy! Yikes!

You know, I get so tired of the hypocritical nature of GOP candidates or elected politicians. All the preaching about Christian values and the the real stories come out.

The other thing on my mind about this is that it seems like when a Democrat gets caught in one of these scandals, it is about consensual actions. Sexual harrassment is not consensual and is a crime and abusive.

The other thing is that I wish that women (or it could be a man) that has beenj sexually harrassed would not take pay-offs. This always brings up talk of that was they were after and sexual harrassment never gets the attention it deserves as a very common crime commited.

I know that many women in this situation are trying to deal with this under the age old "boys club," but damn if i don't wish they would go on to make charges. Then there are all of the fears of losing one's job and thinking about how many single parents there are that need their job in order to support their kids, I get why this happens so often.Then there is all of the blaming the victim that goes on.

I don't ever want any person unfairly charged with sexual harrassment, but I don't know we can ever fight it effectively if back room settlements are made.
