Adultery is is a small transgression compared to, for example, not
promoting the regulation of the financial industry in such a way so that it

war, expensive in human misery and costs in dollars, on knowingly very flimsy
evidence of WMDs.</FONT></DIV>

From what I've heard, she says he did and he says he didn't. Each one of
them has reason enough to lie about it. I'm not a Cain supporter, but I
hate to see someone driven from the race because of sex. As long as he
sticks to human beings old enough to legally consent to sex, I don't care what
he does in the bedroom.<BR><BR>Paul<BR><BR>On 12/03/2011 01:31 PM, Darrell
