he needs to stop waffling within the very same sentence

Actually you need to bother to read and comprehend the sentence rather then desperately looking for some completely nonsensical thing to complain about.

Glad you like Perry, making up excuses to whine about Cain does not help your candidate

Gee, maybe I did read the sentences, and comprehend it. Here it is again, in all of its glory:

But it would depend upon who got the nomination. I will support who gets the nomination. I know I have said that there are some people right now who I cannot support, but I wouldn’t say no to it.

So, here he is saying (a) "I will support who gets the nomination," but (b) he never retracts, expressly or by necessary implication, his prior statement that he will not support Perry if Perry gets the nomination.

So, which is it? The two statements are mutually exclusive - either one or the other is true, but not both.

Then there's the question of what to do with this sentence:

I know I have said that there are some people right now who I cannot support, but I wouldn’t say no to it.

What, exactly, is he saying here? Is he saying, notwithstanding his statement that he would not support Perry if Perry got the nomination, that he would not necessarily say "no" to being the VP on a Perry ticket? If that's the case, then logic got chucked a long, long time ago.

So, what to do, what to do?

And for the record - as I have repeatedly, in many, many places posted - I have both Perry and Cain about equally listed on my list of favored candidates; I really did mean it when I said that Mr. Cain has an interesting background - it's no mean feat to be on the board of a Federal Reserve Bank - and I'm hoping that, unlike Romney - Mr. Cain will use his business experience to inform him about how government unnecessarily crimps and harms private enterprise, and use that experience to guide the development of saner economic policies (and not, ala Romney, simply use his skills to run government like an uber-competitor to private enterprise).
