So Cain was caught talking out both sides of his mouth and now he's making an effort to correct the record and repair the damage. Now we have the definitive statement from Cain on abortion. Now Cain sounds like Reagan, so we can all jump for joy. LOL Hardly.

Understand you CainBots, not calling Cain a liar, just a lousy politician with a penchant for placing expediency over principle.

That's precisely how I would describe your FR postings.

Let's see, which is better? being called a liar, or being called unprincipled? Kind of a tough choice RM. And an unnecessary choice. There is another way to understand this. Cain is a political novice, by his own admission. He has yet to fully understand how prolife policy might be implemented in a constitutional Republic.

And frankly, it is not an easy question. I'm guessing that Cain believes by expressing his core belief on the matter in general terms he can keep from getting bogged down on the details of implementation. As a messaging strategy, I am not sure that will work, but in no way does it represent a lack of principle. He has demonstrated his principles sufficiently by putting his money where most of the rest of us will only put our mouths.

But his principles must now be translated to a plan of action, and he needs to work that through with someone who has a good understanding, not only of the issues, but how to message on those issues. Again, this is a phenomena primarily associated with political inexperience. Nothing else.
