Cain has been pretty consistent with his stance on the burning issues, this is what got him popular.
I still remember one of the early debates in which the candidates have been asked if they would or would not show the photos of the dead Osama.
all of them answered that they would, however it was clear that this is not THEIR position, rather what something that is popular.
Cain was the only one to answer NO. he said it without a blink shot it straight out.
he is a straight shooter, and knows what he believes in. and it so happens to be that on most issues he is on the right side.
