He opposes abortion, including in cases of rape and incest. He thinks Iran could be deterred from aggression by deploying more warships. And he is a proponent of privatized Social Security.

He has said that climate change is a scam, that he would not have survived cancer under the Obama administration’s health-care overhaul, and that the United States is on the brink of a socialist takeover.

... and perhaps the most amazing thing is that Cain is being supported by those racist Tea Party bigots.... One might think the 'major' media would notice and do a story, perhaps correcting some of their earlier slanders.
