H.Cane is responsible for his actions and comments. Women's rights are a huge issue. But he has huge issue: we impeached a president for lying (about sex) - why would Americans vote for a canadate who lies?
Your slip is showing.
During interviews this morning with Governor Barbour, Mr. Gregory stated, relative to Mr. Cain's alleged misconduct accuser, "...she had to sign a confidentiality agreement."
This interjected and unnecessary statement that Mr. Gregory anxiously contributed, is obviously wrong. If it can be assumed that Mr. Gregory is not so ignorant of American law and Constitution rights, then one would conclude that his bias was blatantly exposed. Sadly, most viewers would not understand that the accuser would have signed an agreement as quid pro quo for a certain significant amount of money.
I really do not enjoy listening to Gregory, who agrees with everyone on his show and panders to rubbish. Oh to have Tim Russet back. Does David Gregory have a stand on anything? The last Republican commentator on the show today called the President of the USA " a flop," at which they all smirked and laughed. President Obama took a dying economy, got it back on its feet, has been downgraded by the "white press,"including Chris Matthews, and is now derided in public on David Gregory's "Meet the Press" which used to be a respectable show. What is the world coming to...disrespectful show and twisting facts without a stand up moderator...wow.
Back to CNN, at least they have rules there.
