ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Owner, there are two different versions as to what "Cain meant". Editor's note: After we published this item, Cain addressed his statement in an interview with the Daily Caller website. "Maybe I mispoke," Cain said. "What I meant was, China does not have the size of nuclear capability that we have. They do have a nuclear capability." http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2011/nov/02/herman-cain/herman-cain-said-china-trying-develop-nuclear-weap/ The nuclear carrier excuse wasnt Cain's, it was Block's. Block and Cain both walked back the statement Wednesday evening within a half-hour of each other, but offered different explanations of what Cain actually meant to say, indicating a communications lapse. “Yes, they’re a military threat,” Cain said of China on the PBS NewsHour. “They’ve indicated that they’re trying to develop nuclear capability and they want to develop more aircraft carriers like we have. So yes, we have to consider them a military threat.” In an interview with The Daily Caller’s Ginni Thomas Wednesday, Cain walked back the comment, saying, “Maybe I misspoke.” “What I meant was, China does not have the size of the nuclear capability that we have. They do have a nuclear capability. I was talking about that total nuclear capability. So that’s what I meant by that,” he explained. But while Cain was speaking with TheDC, Block was across town telling Fox News Channel’s Brett Baier that when Cain made that comment, “he was referring to the nuclear capability that China was getting for their submarines and their aircraft carriers.” http://news.yahoo.com/cain-block-different-explanations-china-gaffe-164607125.html He has no defense. He is an idiot. Plain and simple. What is it with conservatives that they keep getting enamored of morons, Cain, Palin, Bachmann, Bush?
