Another example of GOP hypocracy, double standard
Remember 1999? Its not just a coincident that this year coincides with Cain's "9-9-9" tax solution numbers but its the year GOP were trying to impeach Clinton for sexual misconduct.
But when their top candidate is guilty of this, suddenly it doesn't matter any more?

And here's a link of Rush Limbaugh condemning those who condemn Cain:

3. No comparison. Monica Lewinsky was a consenting and willing adult.
The women filing complaints against Cain were obviously NOT consenting to his unwanted advances.

6. Which of course makes it much worse.

And there were at least 3 women complaining. Two of them had to be paid off to keep them quiet.
This guy obviously must be guilty.

5. I seem to remember that Monica flashed her thong at
Clinton. So I think Clinton's sexual misconduct was very different than Cain's. Monica was asking for sexual attention, but Cain's victim was just the opposite.

Not excusing Clinton, but working for Clinton was not a problem for women who did not want sex with Clinton.

There is a difference IMO.

7. Don't forget how they closed ranks and defended Clarence Thomas for similar allegations
Just about everything that comes out of their mouths is hypocritical/double standard.
