Free Republic is Cain Country

No word from the Iron Fist of head Freeper Jim Robinson yet, but it becomes increasingly clear 2 weeks after Palin dashed their dreams, Freepers have once again defined ideological purity as getting behind a candidate.

For instance, check out Freepers circling the wagons about Herman Cain's mealy-mouthed equivocating about abortion:<

HerrBlucher doesn't believe any trashy transcript, but forgives Cain just in case:

Until I see the actual transcript in total of F and F this morning I cannot trust any excerpted quote. So far his words have been taken out of context and deliberately distorted, just as they did with Palin.

Even if Cain is being flakey about this that hardly disqualifies him in comparison to the other candidates with astounding flakiness levels.

Beelzebubba just puts his own words into Cain's mouth:

Cain’s sins on this issue are twofold:

1. Answering the question as asked (his biggest flaw as a politician, and his greatest strength as a candidate.

2. Not having a canned answer that avoid potential misinterpretation that his political opponents can latch onto desperately (the evidence being found amply on this thread).

I would have found the best answer from Cain (most consistent with his statements on other issues) to be:

“I believe abortion is murder, and murder is a crime that is established at the state level. The federal government has no business limiting restrictions on abortion, which is why Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided and should be overturned, by Constitutional amendment if necessary. Politically, I acknowledge that the people of some states might choose to keep abortion unrestricted, and that is sadly their mistake to make. But those who claim to be pro-choice are actually opponents of giving the voters of each state the choice to establish restrictions or prohibitions on abortion as is their right.”

MNJohnnie gets Old Testament on some Freepers who have yet to get in line:

The 9th Commandment is not a suggestion. Bearing false witness is still a sin.
Cain's words are right there for you to read.

JLAGRAYFOX is in full Palin-style worship mode:

Fact: Herman Cain has been pro-life and anti-abortion for many years. This is a non issue being pushed by media, the Democrats and the Republican establishment types. It has no legs and will go nowhere!!!

Move on, nothing to see here!!!

Cain will continue to well, all across the country!!! Do not underestimate, the determined “For America”, Mr. Cain!!!

If this fine, patriotic gentleman begins to attract substantial support from Black & Hispanic Americans, he is going to be not only a winner, but a positive game changer for every citizen in the USA. He brings to the table, freedom, equality, liberty, opportunity, small federal government, creativity, innovation, etc.

And.....take my word for it, with each succeeding debate, Herman Cain will get more skilled at public debate and pressure. This POTUS quest is just beginning!!!
