A comment on Missouri Senate Bill 592 - Debated on the Senate Floor this Afternoon

The Missouri legislature is pretty inept. I have no doubt they'll pass something that's "pro-business" at the expense of employees. Sad, but true.

I can not believe you are considering going backward! This is 2012 not 1964. This will include absolutely every person working or even those trying to get a job. Its hard enough the way it is.

Thanks for posting this Lindsay. He is so well spoken. I wish everyone could see how easy an issue this is. He was clearly loved, he is clearly happy - end of discussion.

I look forward to more of your postings.

Thanks to each of you for your comments, although seems that Terry can't comment without personally attacking.
- There were settlements and it doesn't look like we will ever hear what happened there.
- Why now? clearly because he is news now. It's a door that every candidate opens up when they run.
- His reaction is important because he controls what he says and we have to assume he knows what the correct story is. If he didn't , he really shouldn't have done the initial interviews.
- As a old story and one that had been settled the whole thing could have been handled in a much better way. It was as much a opportunity for him as it was a issue.

Whether the allegations are true or not, they did exactly what they must have been meant to do- derail Cain's campaign. I don't say that to imply the allegations aren't true, but I hate how things like this don't even come up until a candidate's doing well in the polls. Whether or not the allegations are true, it's a little disturbing to see something of this nature come out right when it did. It feels so... orchestrated.

Women "keep coming out"??? Have there been more that we have not heard about, or is Mike Bryant referring to the four women who all "came out" with accusations last month? It is suspicious that all four women have Chicago connections. Does it not seem odd to anyone else that during all of the alleged behavior supposedly took place during the same very brief time period in Cain's 40+ year business career? The worst claim was that Mr. Cain behaved in a socially unacceptable way towards the woman. None of the women have given the public a credible account of what Cain supposedly did that was socially unacceptable. Meanwhile, many women who have worked with Cain for years have come forward as character witnesses stating that he always treated women with respect and honor. Why are their statements being buried?

Lets
Let's try that again:
What matters is how will he deal with our national problems and not how he dealt with vague threats of accusations a decade old. These women have crawled back under their rocks it seems and that is about all that matters. I think he dealt with them well IF they were untrue, which seems to be the case. To spend more time on them would have shown him to be unable to focus on what is important right now which is the electoral process.

Really? Have you watched the number of interviews that he did after the reports? He didn't explain it that way. But let's accept what you say as being the absolute truth, the point is that he could have done a lot by explaining it just as you have.
He didn't and as a candidate it becomes more of a story. Stop with the apologies and blow offs and get to what matters.

Pathetic article. Cain has been accused of a quote common mid life event at most. He (maybe) hit on some woman and was rejected. He "took her home immediately" . Big deal. End of story. Lets's get on with our election.
