I want Cain to come out on top but I have two problems with him right now:
1) Notwithstanding the possible links with the enemy camp with this Bailek woman, I think Cain could be doing a much better job of publicly demanding specific times and dates and telling her and the media, until she does so, to stop wasting his and the American people's time with this stuff.
2) The feeling that he may not be listening to the problems with the last "9" of his "999" plan - the introduction of a whole new tax with out repealing the 16th amendment and income tax first.
Gingirch is the debater extraordinaire. The problem I have with Gingrich is his past. Has he really laid out before the American people with a clear repentance and change of heart, his moral failings of an extramarital affair while in Congress and his admitted (in Congress, not necessarily directly to the American people) Congressional indiscretions. Why should the American people give him POTUS with anything less than that? He also seems sort of arrogant and "smarter than thou." And I'm not sure how consistent he is behind the scenes
Dang man, what will it take to get Palin back into this? We're steaming full speed ahead at night through an ice field and you can smell the icebergs.
He takes care of the third 9 by always stating first that we need to get rid of the entire current tax system, which obviously includes repealing the 16th. More reason to ensure we elect a super-majority across the board in 2012.
The problems you have with the last 9 applies equally well to the current tax code. The last 9 actually is the safeguard. By spreading the tax base, Cain makes it much harder to raise taxes since everyone pays.
Hate to burst your bubble. Sarah only looks good cause she is not in the race. If she was, she would be subject to these same smear machine tactics and you would be just as frustrated.
The only reason Sarah looks perfect is she is not in the race. If REAGAN was running now he would look every bit as imperfect as these candidates.
Watch her tonight on Bret Baier's special on Fox News in Greta's slot: 10:00PM Eastern, 9:00PM Central. She's listed or registered in the Iowa Caucus, which is thesubject of his special!
I don't think anything will get her to change her mind, but for the Grace of God, should He lead her to change her mind.
In the interim: Sarah Palin's Earthquake Movement
These folks are sending cards and letters by the tens of thousands, asking her to get back into the race:
Sarah Palin's Earthquake Movement
She hinted a few weeks back that she would reconsider her decision if she saw "something as big as the '64 quake."
After the debating is over - we're stuck with the Gingrich, who is un-trustworthy - not a true Conservative & the pleasure he takes in back-stabbing them in order to appeal to the republican elites.
NO THANKS!!
