The Water Cooler Title: Neal Boortz: Bad Weekend for Herman Cain (steps smack into a steaming, stinking pile of abortopolitics) I was really feeling bad for Herman Cain over the weekend. I love that guy. I truly do. And it was dismaying to see him step smack into a steaming, stinking pile of abortopolitics squeeze over the past few days. You really never can get that stuff off your shoes, and you end up tracking it throughout your entire campaign. Ive been begging, though I knew it would do absolutely no good, for the anti-abortion zealots to just shut the hell up for once --- just for this critical election --- so that independent voters, especially women, wouldnt run screaming from the GOP candidates in 2012. So now Cain has been dragged into the arena of abortion politics. And just where does he stand? Well, on the one hand he thinks that abortion should be illegal. (Same for gay marriage). But he believes that ultimately it is the familys choice; but if they chose to have an abortion theyve committed a crime. But on the other hand he would like to see a Constitutional Amendment banning abortion and same-sex marriage. I put a few Tweets on the subject out there (@Talkmaster) Saturday night, and then spent the next 24 hours blocking every follower who responded with those abortion is murder comments and rantings about the unborn. I dont want to deal with those zealots on the air, and Im not going to deal with them on Twitter either. When it comes to Twitter followers, quality over quantity is the rule. I did notice, though, some comments suggesting that I was pro-abortion. Ok
so were going to set the record straight here .. the record as it applies to my attitudes on abortion (not that it really maters to anyone but me). Well just use bullet points. The best answer a candidate can give on this issue is something like Im running for president, not governor. This is a state issue.

He's right, that was the worst thing Cain could have done was get into the abortion "mess"....... he just chased away 15-20% of the people who would have voted for him......

Boortz is a moron on the abortion issue. I put him on my enemy's list years ago. I mostly agree with him. But a couple of issues he really bugs me on.
