Hes not there to tell the truth to the republican base. thats not why hes there on that issue. if hes going to speak on it, its to offer some sort of deflection away from the issue, not to, you know, be some sort of bold truth teller. >> cains -- the way in which cain has managed to stir the fire of the republican base is fascinating to me precisely because we have had such a contested argument in this country since the emergence of the sort of palin town halls in 2008 and the tea party that cam...
