alone. but i happen to have a different viewpoint and protecting civil liberties. i certainly have a different viewpoint and foreign policy which is closer to the democratic base. for that reason the appeal is across the board, it s different, and our polls show that in a general election i would do quite well. megyn: you mentioned how maybe one of the frontrunners at this point, cain and romney will hurt themselves so that your candidacy will propel to the first spot. obviously herman cain is in the news this week, subject to a political report suggesting that a decade or so ago there were sexual harassment am tkpwaeugss against him. your son rand paul is a u.s. senator and he came out critical of that report and said it was unfair because of the and a anytime ma tee granted to the two accusers in that this report and said it was unfair and shouldn t be printed. i don t go that far about what should be printed and what shouldn t be, but taking it seriously is another matter.
franchising 30 million people is laughable. it s about corruption. they want to corrupt the election. there is no evidence of wide-spread corruption. megyn: got to go. i have .000000 time left for you. see you. coming up herman cain facing sexual harassment accusations that are coming up now. they were made in the mid 90s. mid to late 90s, now they are coming up again. coming up on this program bernie goldberg weighs in on how the media is handling these allegations. ithe parents of baby lisa irwin cutting off all discussions with the media. this as the police have a two-hour sit down with the brother. why? mark fuhrman is here next. is it really his baby, baby shall -frbgs baby? justin bieber facing accusations he got a 20-year-old girl pregnant. oh, my goodness, say it s not

maybe this is an opportunity to talk about the issues, and that is 9-9-9-and other his policies, but to talk about that i don t think is fair. megyn: do you think this is sufficient for more questioning of mr. cain. if it s done properly. conceivably it could be another campaign that has done this for all we know right now. i just don t think it should be the i shall you ve the week, that is for sure. megyn: ron paul thank you so much for being here. we appreciate it. all the best, sir. thank you. megyn: and folks it looks like minnesota s congresswoman michelle bachmann is taking a shot at herman cain over these sexual harassment allegations that surfaced over the weekend. you know it was more than a decade ago that they were made and the reports of it surfaced over the weekend. miss bachmann telling the
