First, because he will not be the nominee of the GOP. The Rich Android will.<\/a> It\u2019s a curious thing really: the GOP (I can\u2019t speak for Dems) keeps winding up with candidates that, oddly, nobody but the fabulously wealthy seem to want or like, yet somehow we all have the illusion that this is the end result of a democratic process. I have no explanation for that. I merely note that the phenomenon of \u201cI\u2019ll hold my nose and vote for this guy\u201d is an odd thing to encounter in the overwhelming majority of voters for a party that is (supposedly) nominating candidates on the basis of majority preference. I reckon there\u2019s some statistical explanation for how a majority of people can keep choosing candidates that a majority of people can\u2019t stand, but I majored in English, not statistics.<\/p>\n Second, I will not vote for Cain because he is part of the now standard horde of \u201cconservative\u201d enthusiasts for torture, which the Church says is gravely and intrinsically immoral. (Note to newbies: \u201cenhanced interrogation is GOP euphemism <\/a>for \u201ctorture\u201d. \u201cWaterboarding\u201d (which is a euphemism for \u201cdrowning\u201d) is torture, and if you are inclined to try to lie that it is not, please read this first<\/a>. If you still want to try to lie that it is not, please trouble somebody else\u2019s comboxes with your lies. Oh, and note the enthusiastic applause of the base (pardon the pun) in the audience):<\/p>\n
