The first debates were between Kennedy and Nixon. It was Kennedy’s idea. Johnson did not debate Goldwater. He knew he’d lose. Debates are a lefty idea. That’s why they run them and use them AGAINST the right. Get it?
By Katie Couric. Yeah. You convinced me.
Yes. It is. And no matter how much some claim to be conservative, and they don't buy into the MSM bias, they actually do.
My guess and I could be wrong is that Sarah and Herman would reflect the beliefs of most Freepers. So it is really about who would win, I think either could win so the rest is not important. I think Sarah would have an easier time so I choose Sarah.
“Did Mr Gibson, or any other MSM a-hole, ever ask candidate Obama a similar question? I don’t remember it - what I remember is them filling in the answers for him i.e. “my Muslim....errr...Christian faith”.”
The MSM is unfair but the only thing we can do about it is pick a candidate that can outsmart them. If we pick someone like Perry or Palin then they’ll be creamed. If we pick a Romney, he may be able to hold his own for a while but his lack of consistency will be very apparent after showing just a few clips.
That’s why we need a very sharp conservative and especially good with economic data. Cain has already demonstrated that he could do this when he took on Bill Clinton and hillarycare.
A talented VP is only wasted if the president decides to waste him/her. By definition the president is an executive who picks the right people, sets policy goals and listens and evaluates all points of view before making a decision. a president who tries to take on everything and micromanage everything will doom themselves to ultimate failure. Any president can give the VP immense authority and powers to get things done, but only if the president is willing to act as a real executive and delegate some of that authority. I think that a Cain or a Palin would both have the sense to take that approach.
And your point is? Because she is correct about Russia, both technically and philosophically. There is land in Alaska from which you can see Russia.
But I suspect that is not your issue. You probably don’t get how she was transitioning from a physical reality to a political reality. Somewhere there is an unedited transcript of that very dialogue, in which she fleshes out her meaning quite well, having to do with special security and economic issues she had to deal with due to her proximity to Russia, including missile defense. Gibson maliciously hacked it down to support a narrative being crafted by the left to defend Obama from a serious threat to his victory.
BTW, I looked at your home page, and we are on the same page on every issue you list. Every one. So I don’t understand your willingness to use propaganda materials designed by the left to take down one of our own. Support Cain if you like, and object to Palin if you must, but objections not well grounded in truth will only cost you credibility here. Your choice, of course.

Well, that’s your opinion. I see vast improvement. Both our positions are valid and we’ll just have to see how things shake out.

Well debates showed me what Perry believes and I am not heartless so he will do get my vote or support.
Big difference between talking to people sitting around a table in a small studio and speaking to a crowd in large venues, indoor and outdoor.
Although laudable, degrees in math and science, do not an effective president make.
What Sarah Palin has - courage, allegiance to our Constitution, determination, political savvy, proven executive capacity - cannot be learned in a university.
“I don’t support onerous legislation that’s going to restrict people’s rights in order to be able to protect themselves as guaranteed by the Second Amendment. “
What’s wrong with that?
>> “This election will be about one thing and one thing only. Jobs” <<
.
No government has ever created even one economy expanding job; only investment risk can do that.
Knowing how to shut down the parts of government that inhibit risk taking is the skill that is in demand WRT jobs. Palin knows how to do that; Cain hasn’t the slightest idea.
Step one will be returning monitary control to the House of Representatives by pulling the plug on that socialist good ol boys club known as the Fed.
Step two will put lots of criminals that are used to being addressed as “the Honorable” into bright orange one piece tuxedos.
There’s nothing wrong with that part. It’s the part about states being able to pass their own laws on gun control. The Bill of Rights apply to everyone, not just certain states.

No she didn't. She has indicated in several statements to the press, that late September - early October would be the time frame in which she'd inform everyone of her intentions.
She's never once named a specific date for that announcement.
I understand the VP’s constitutional obligations and duties but beyond that what CAN or COULD he do to play a more active role in a given admin?
If he has not had brain surgery twice that is.
Cain was very articulate when he contradicted Clinton. And actually Clinton surprised me, he had answers and questions for Cain that Obama would never be able to think of.
Read further down.
CAIN: Yes
BLITZER: So the answer is yes?
CAIN: Yes. The answer is yes, that should be a state’s decision.
Based on what. The fact that he turned around failing businesses as a career and put actual paychecks in people pockets?
