Cain Suckers Prolifers

As is the custom for GOP candidates, Cain makes soothing noises for prolifers who, like Charlie Brown and the football, live in the perpetual delusion that Republican candidates regard them as something other than useful suckers.  But when pressed on what he will actually do?  Ahem:

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.

Thanks, Mario Cuomo!  So Cain’s “personally opposed” but he has no intention of, like, doing something.

Not that this matters in the long run, because the nomination will go to the richest guy in all likelihood, so it’ll be the Android or the Swaggering Evangelical, (my money is on the Android).  And his passion for abortion rights/the prolife cause saying whatever it takes to be elected is well known.

The Thing that Used to Be Conservatism is getting the candidates it deserves.
