The bottom line is that Cain is, from his core, a conservative. The same cannot be said of the Elitest Newt who, when not running for election, is some kind of weird progressive “third wave” conservative.
I have heard him talk about giving privileges to poor areas because the are predominately black. That's not conservative.
He agreed on Fox and Friends that abortion shouldn't be part of the political discussion.
He called abortion a social choice.
He voted for Clinton.
His wife voted in the 2008 Democrat primary.
He has accused his fellow candidates of doing things the didn't do and then backed off.
He was a lobbyist for 3 years.
He believes the 2nd Amendment is a states rights issue.
The real conservative with proven results such as 400 million of state tax dollars for border security. Defunding Planned Parenthood.Spending cuts. Job creation. Pro-gun. Pro-life candidate is Rick Perry.
The major problem with Cain is there is no way to be sure he is any kind of anything aside from his words and actions trump words in my book. He has no record. I am left to rely on his personality and his word. No thanks.
