So Is Cain Pro Choice Or Pro Life? (campaign, president, Obama)

[ovcatto]

MORGAN: Abortion. What’s your view of abortion?

CAIN: I believe that life begins at conception. And abortion under no circumstances. And here’s why –

MORGAN: No circumstances?

CAIN: No circumstances.

MORGAN: Because many of your fellow candidates — some of them qualify that.

CAIN: They qualify but –

MORGAN: Rape and incest.

CAIN: Rape and incest.

MORGAN: Are you honestly saying — again, it’s a tricky question, I know.

CAIN: Ask the tricky question.

MORGAN: But you’ve had children, grandchildren. If one of your female children, grandchildren was raped, you would honestly want her to bring up that baby as her own?

CAIN: You’re mixing two things here, Piers?

MORGAN: Why?

CAIN: You’re mixing –

MORGAN: That’s what it comes down to.

CAIN: No, it comes down to it’s not the government’s role or anybody else’s role to make that decision. Secondly, if you look at the statistical incidents, you’re not talking about that big a number. So what I’m saying is it ultimately gets down to a choice that that family or that mother has to make.

Not me as president, not some politician, not a bureaucrat. It gets down to that family. And whatever they decide, they decide. I shouldn’t have to tell them what decision to make for such a sensitive issue.

MORGAN: By expressing the view that you expressed, you are effectively — you might be president. You can’t hide behind now the mask, if you don’t mind me saying, of being the pizza guy. You might be the president of United States of America. So your views on these things become exponentially massively more important. They become a directive to the nation.

CAIN: No they don’t. I can have an opinion on an issue without it being a directive on the nation. The government shouldn’t be trying to tell people everything to do, especially when it comes to social decisions that they need to make.

MORGAN: That’s a very interesting departure –

CAIN: Yes.

MORGAN: — from the normal politics.

CAIN: Exactly.

Lol. Cain's campaign speech comes down to this: 9, 9, 9, economy, 9. Economy 9 9, Obama 9 economy. 9 9, Obama economy 9.

So the 9% sales tax is in addition to the local and state sales taxes? Some places are already up to 8%, so a 17% sales tax? Not sure that will encourage people to go out and buy things.

Cain is not strong on science. Failing grade, I'd say. But his answer seems Libertarian/Pro-choice.

[Frank DeForrest]

He has to consult with his experts first

Cain needs to lay off the 'caine.

[Had2SaySumthin]

I hope he's "pro-losing-the-primary".

That way he'll at least be happy in the end. Because I'm with Bill Maher on this one. If he loses that bet I'll be heading to Argentina.

He's not qualified for higher office, but I respect his answer to the question.
