Thread: Bachmann says Cain 'flip-flops,'

Awesome. Few things taint a politician in America than the dreaded flip-flop label. Could this be the beginning of a derailment for the "Cain Train"?

TRENDING: Cain 'flip-flops,' Bachmann says

(CNN) – Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann continued to hit rival Herman Cain's conservative credentials Sunday amid a recent dust up over comments he made about abortion.

Bachmann said the remarks made earlier this week were further evidence of the businessman's "troubling" policy shifts.

According to Bachmann, one's personal beliefs have to be the same as their political stances. I don't have a problem with Cain's personal belief of being pro-life, or his non-governmental interference stance on the matter.

"real conservatives" won't vote for someone who doesn't declare support for forced childbirth.

No offense to Bachmann but just about every politician or candidate flip-flops.

Actually he flip flopped again. He now says abortion should be illegal

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — He had told CNN this week that while he opposes abortion, "it's not the government's role or anybody else's role to make that decision." But Herman Cain, looking for the support of Christian conservatives gathered in Iowa, told them today that he believes "abortion should be clearly stated as illegal across this country." A half-dozen GOP presidential contenders were hoping to build support among evangelical activists in advance of Iowa's January caucuses.

He's playing the Romney card. Seems as though Cain is learning from the frontrunner. However, the far right isn't going to like this one bit, even if he appeals to their interests.

Actually he is playing the politician card. rather than take a stance and sticking to it he says whatever he thinks will make the voters in front of him happy and then later says "let me clarify that"

Yet Romney has done the same political move as Herman Cain in regards to abortion. When he was governor, Romney was a pro-choice politician. Now he's a pro-life politician. Herman Cain has gone one step further by flip flopping twice. Nonetheless, he's playing the Romney card, and in a broader sense, the politician card.

The whole flip flop thing has always bothered me. I am actually impressed by a man that used to think one way but had an open mind and has come to believe the opposite (unless of course it is over a day or two span) I definitely think differently about a lot of things than I did 20 years ago. It is impressive to see someone admit that they have changed their view if they are actually telling the truth

It is obvious that Cain did not anticipate being questioned on this issue, which makes no sense at all. He is not ready to be President. Send him back to the pizza business where he belongs.
