Johnson sunk himself when he started whining about getting more questions. He looks way out of his league.

Cain supported TARP in theory but not how it was implementated and came out against it a month after the FACTS came out.

He does not support the release of the photo for reasons to protect our troops. My husband is a rock solid conservative and feels the same way. I disagree. He did believe Obama should have released his BC.

You are not going to agree with ANY candidate on everything. What matters is that you agree with them on the major things that affect the direction of our country.

People need to learn more about Cain and get the big picture. He is the clear leader on that stage, he speaks with conviction because he is speaking from his heart. What he says he has said for as long as I have followed this man.

I proudly voted for him in 2004 and will be proud to do so again in 2012. I can only imagine how much better our country would be if he had been in office instead of Isakson.

I know time is limited in a debate but I wish they would let each answer the same question! They are asking different questions to each candidate and not getting each candidates answer on the same question!

So far I have liked what Cain has said with exception to release of BL photos and his answer regarding whether we should be in Afghanistan or other military actions. Just seems that even if he does not have the top secret intelligence regarding why we are involved in these military ventures, he should still have somewhat of an opinion. He seemed to dodge giving us his point of view.

Ron Paul on marriage: dope. Marriage is a sacrament, a gift of grace from God, NOT A RIGHT!!!

I agree with Ron Paul about marriage. I didn’t know any politician believed that.

On April 27, Rush Limbaugh said of Cain, “I love Herman Cain, he is obviously a leader...In a better world Herman Cain would be seen as one of our foremost candidates. He’s a guy who’s got it all.”

I like Cain out of the bunch, but I do believe that his foreign policy questions are weak. He needs to do better than, “we need to have a plan.”

So far I like Herman Cain the best- been watching him for months. I like some of Johnson’s answers too.

Cain is the only dredible candidate in this group in my opinion. Truely he is a candidate without much in the way of dollars and network — but damn it, I like and respect him and have for some time.

Johnson is coming across well but he is too ideologically libertarian in many of his positions that haven’t yet been raised.

Santorum still has his tin ear — comes across as a sour school vice-principal.

Pawlenty is uninspiring.

Paul is having fun being Paul and showing he has dedicated followers that along with him will keep throwing sand in the transmission. He always wants to throw out settled law and come up with an ideological solution.

I think Cain doesn’t want to put himself in a position of having to reverse himself. Reminds me of Obama saying the police acted stupidly even though he admitted he lacked sufficient information on the issue.

I follow Herman Cain on Facebook. He just posted the question, “who do you think is winning the debate?” Obviously, since it goes out to his fans, he’s crushing the competition. LOL!

Who was the pro-abortion guy just now? I couldn’t see the screen and I don’t know who that was.

Gary Johnson is the pro-abort of the group.

I made it perfectly clear exactly what I heard said and you are 100% correct... I am not responsible for or a spokesman for Hannity. I can report what I heard... I thought it was over the top and undignified. I say things like that myself... right here on FR... I was just taken aback a bit when I heard it. I expect more from Nikki than I do from myself.
