Do yourself a favor and instead of watching the Rick Perry video on Youtube watch the "Les Dowrey Show!"
A true conservative cartoon.
Episode 1: Les Dowrey Goes to Africa! Episode 2: Les Dowrey Occupies Wall Street!
the big loser was cnbc.
I thought Cain’s performance will have more impact than they think. When the moderator asked the question...and then anpther tried to follow up, the crowd literally booed them...and they applauded and cheered Caain’s answer.
I felt he did well in other areas as well, regarding taxes, health care, social security, etc.
Given how people were wondering how he would perform, I think he put a lot of fears to rest that this might be someho a downturn for him. To the contrary, I think he is still going to climb.
I have three things to say about the debate. First, I agree that Romney and Gingrich did well tonight. Secondly, the debate was entertaining I did not change the channel for almost a full hour. Thirdly, uh um uh um uh um uh um.....
I don’t think Perry is the loser. He already lost... this gaffe does not harm him, because his detractors are already against him anyway.
I always cheer Newt on during these debates when he starts ripping into the media - but tonight - he kind of got on my nerves a bit. A little bit arrogant and flippant, I didn’t like how he was stalling on giving a 30 second answer to how he would handle healthcare once Obamacare was repealed.
He took several minutes to go through this whole shpiel about how it was an idiotic question that couldn’t be answered in 30 sec - then he threw out a bunch of answers at the end. I thought he was showing off at that point, and it reminded me of why I don’t think Newt is electable - he’s a loose cannon. Kind of reminded me of the president of the Science Club that you dreaded to talk to because they always tried to show you how smart they were.
At this point the only comment about Perry is: We’ve already got a TOTUS.
Mr. Bain Capitol now claims China is a big threat and “not playing by the rules”.

Took him long enough to get his head out of his backside.
I agree, Cain remains the front runner in IA, SC, and FL by about five or so points over Newt and Obama-lite.
My take on the debate FWIW, probably not very much but like before, I’m gonna give it anyway.
1. Gingrich - A-, potential heir apparent (or last great hope of conservatives) if Cain can’t knock off Romney. Pissed off Maria real good, but his over 30 second answer was a little short on substance.
2. Romney - B, one of his poorer performances, nevertheless standing out in substance over most of the rest of the crowd; a toned debater. The Weekly Standard clowns, Krauthammer, Ingraham, O’Reilly Auto Parts, & Rove were backstage cheering him on.
3. Bachmann - B, kept her pace from the last debate where she also fared well; the only one with the huevos to shoot down payroll tax delays; the purity but unelectable candidate continued to overuse “tax attorney” and repeal Obama care; In spite of the kudos, she doesn’t have a chance and needs to get out of the race.
4. Cain - B-, handled the cheap shot question from the presstitutes well; over dwelled on 9-9-9 and showed some lack of detail or substance which tended to support the flamers belief that he is shallow in depth; nevertheless, it would make a lot of people’s day if he ended up getting the nomination making the “pundits” listed in #2 above look like the RINO @$$wipes that they are.
5. Paul - C+, kept his straitjacket on from the last debate, avoiding some of the Jerry Moonbeam moments. Some of his remarks were right on, while others seemed somewhat incoherent.
6. Santorum - C-, the sanctimonious PA flash that endorsed Specter and lost his last race only highlight was his endorsement of MANUFACTURING, almost completely omitted by all the other candidates; other than that, he is an empty suit that needs to exit the premises.
7. Perry - D, no not an F. Whether you like him or not, most people felt sorry for his memory lapse that commodians will make fun of like they do to all conservatives. He gets a D, not for that lapse, but for continuing inability to articulate anything beyond energy policy and Texas job creation. A lack of cohesion and substance and PRIOR debate performances will likely result in the total collapse of his campaign. Tonite was just the icing on the cake or the coup de gras. He needs to come back home and continue to reduce the coyote population in the Hill Country. He confused jumping in the race with jumping off the cliff.
8. Huntsman - F, took sanctimony to a level exceeding that of Santorum. China supporter, occupy supporter, heck he might as well have come out and said he was an Obama supporter. Came across as trying to lecture everybody in the hall.
Conservatism started out with a wide array of choices that have one by one opted out; been sabotaged by presstitutes, RINOS, or DimCraps; didn’t know how to handle interviews or debates; or crashed and burned on their own or a combination of the above.
The last man standing (not Tim Allen) is likely to be either Cain (missing some substance plus fighting what appears to be liars trying to malign his reputation) and Gingrich (policy wonk with adultery, couch sitting with Nancy, a whiney voice, and a press that will go after him with a vengeance after his repeated bashing of them). Unless Palin changes her mind, it is looking more and more like conservative efforts to derail the Romney train will fail. That’s sad because while Romney talks a good game (sounds like a real conservative in the debates), if he wins (highly questionable), he would be just another “more of the same politician”. If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you always got.
