Just in case you, like me, are afraid tonight will be the same ol’ show we’ve seen the last two rounds, here’s a little something to get you energized for tonight — a behind-the-scenes sneak peek with Bret Baier:
Best news of the video: Not only will a dream team of moderators host the debate (Baier, Chris Wallace and Megyn Kelly), but they’ll also be taking outside questions. We saw that the CNN/Tea Party Express debate format generated some unlikely-to-otherwise-be-asked inquiries, and it seems the format for tonight’s debate might do the same. As a result, could it be we just might hear a candidate actually mention the phrase “Fast and Furious”? A few other words the GOP hopefuls might want to toss into their talk: Solyndra, LightSquared, CLASS Act, etc.
Michele Bachmann’s brave mention of Merck in the last debate and Mitt Romney’s recent e-mail castigating Rick Perry as “Governor SubZero” are impressive zingers, no doubt, but the time for Perry pile-ons is past. Not because Perry doesn’t need to learn to deflect attacks and not because he doesn’t need to learn to sling them (on both counts, he desperately does!), but because now is a prime time for the Republican candidates to truly weaken the reelection effort Obama has begun in earnest. Nothing clouds a campaign like a prepped-for-punch-lines scandal or two.
But at the same time that the candidates need to hit the president where it hurts, they also need to do what the president conspicuously has not done lately. They need to appeal to Americans’ pride, instead of Americans’ class envy. Some positive pep talk about the American entrepreneurial spirit, irrepressible work ethic and whole-hearted embrace of freedom would be much appreciated. Remind us that we don’t want to tax millionaires and billionaires; we want to be millionaires and billionaires — or, if we don’t, we want to live humbly in peace, unperturbed by government intrusion into every last aspect of our lives. Remind us that we don’t want handouts; we want a chance to earn success, to pursue happiness with every ounce of energy, creativity and discipline we’ve got. Remind us that we will find solutions not in the government, but in ourselves. The American people are starved for that message.
Conservatives have begun to rest comfortably in the president’s low approval numbers, but widespread disapproval of the president will hardly help the Republican candidate if that candidate’s approval numbers are also low. What turns voters out on Election Day? Disapproval of the incumbent might keep a few folks home. If it’s strong enough, as we saw in 2010, it might send a few more folks to vote for the opposite candidate. But it’ll hardly turn voters out in the same numbers that enthusiasm and the actual desire to see a candidate assume the presidency would. It’s time for the GOP candidates to stop playing small ball and start proving themselves presidential. Just be themselves. If one of those candidates on the stage is the next president of the United States, the American people will see it. With a few disastrous exceptions, we’ve shown ourselves to have a talent for picking able leaders. We’ll do it again.
My question would be:
How do you plan on pulling back all the unlegislated regulations and damage done by the Czars appointed by this administration?
What channel?
What time on the Pacific Coast?
Question: Do the people own the government, or does the government own the people?
I think Sharia Law is in violation of International Law, ICCPR adopted by the UN in 1966. Article 6 states wide sweeping inherent right to life and article 8 prohibits slavery and enforced servitude.
Sharia Law isn’t only illegal in this country, but illegal throughout the world; so yes, honor killings should be prosecuted as murder IMHO.
Are you sure you want to use the word “own”? Neither own each other. “of the people, by the people, for the people”.
RE: What channel?
What time on the Pacific Coast?

If the moderators are Brett Baier and Chris Wallace, then it’s definitely FOX NEWS.
I don’t live in the Pacific Coast, but in the Eastern Coast, it will be 8 PM EST. So I guess it will be 5 PM Pacific Time.

'Only' chairman of the board for the KC Fed for 2 years. Not a big deal. LOL!
"That is like saying that someone who served in the German Army from 1924-1928 is a NAZI!"
Why sure. Becoming chairman of the board at the KC Fed is as easy a joining the army. LOL!
Not very good at 'research', are you?
I've got a friend whose husband 'worked for the Fed' years ago... as a supervisor in the check clearing department.
Cain was deputy chairman for 3 years and chairman of the board of the KC Fed for 1 year. Course, they'll let anybody do that. Sure they will. It's just one clown after another...
"Must be something else you don’t like about Cain, because his 1y association with a moderate KC Fed 15y isn’t a big deal."
Must be some reason you 'really like' Cain that causes you to misrepresent the facts. Bring in the clowns...
[ “Oh really, he USED to be the chairman of the KC fed board, for how many years? Oh yes inthe fed for 4 years total and only chairman for 2 of those years.”
‘Only’ chairman of the board for the KC Fed for 2 years. Not a big deal. LOL!

Oh I am sure Herman Cain got his job at the fed because he wore a silly hat a performed a silly masonic handshake after sacrificing a orphan child on the altar of moloch...
I am sure that his job at the fed had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he was a sucessful businessman and had a degree in mathmatics. Oh nothing at all with his business acumen.

Maybe you should hang out on inforwars.com instead of freerepublic, I hear that if click on the super secret banner at the bottom of the page there you can print out a coupon to save 50% on Reynolds Wrap Aluminium foil for all of you haberdashery needs.
Who knows, maybe Cain accepted the position becasue he thought he could change it for the better but after 4 years he decided to quit becasue he saw that as a hopeless cause. Do you know Cain’s motivation when he was fed chair in KC, do you have any documents besides attacking him because he was fed chair for 2 years in KC?
Can you even point to a decision he made as the Fed Chair in KC that in your opinion was bad?
Come on, post one if you have it, otherwise, make sure you double layer your foil because those EM waves from the HARP project aren’t going to shield themselves from your cereberal cortex.
You must really be a big-time shill for Cain. Your arguments are so persuasive.
"I am sure that his job at the fed had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he was a sucessful businessman and had a degree in mathmatics. Oh nothing at all with his business acumen."
Why sure. Successful businessmen w/ degrees in math get to be Fed BoD Chairmen all the time, doncha know?
"Maybe you should hang out on inforwars.com instead of freerepublic, I hear that if click on the super secret banner at the bottom of the page there you can print out a coupon to save 50% on Reynolds Wrap Aluminium foil for all of you haberdashery needs."
Why sure. Just keep drinking the kool-aid and taking the blue pills. They're good for you.

Yes Grace, and there really is a Santa Claus...
"Can you even point to a decision he made as the Fed Chair in KC that in your opinion was bad?"
Oh now you're interested in my opinion and want to limit it to decisions made while he was KC Fed chair? How about his statements that the Fed doesn't need to be audited? You like that idea, do you? You do realize that the Fed is privately-owned, don't you? Who actually does own the Fed? Got a list, do you?
"Come on, post one if you have it, otherwise, make sure you double layer your foil because those EM waves from the HARP project aren’t going to shield themselves from your cereberal cortex."
You really do have some fantastic arguments. Make those up all by yourself, did you?
So in your humble opinion has Herman Cain sold his soul to the Federal Reserve Cabal?
What did he get in exchange for it?
What is your view on the Federal Reserve in General?
You're all about the emotional fantasies, aren't you? You really must think those 'arguments' up all by yourself, they're so convicing.
"What is your view on the Federal Reserve in General?"
I just told you and you ask as though you didn't read a word I wrote. Keep shilling for Herman...

You original post to me:
[ He was chairman of the board of the KC Fed.
Cain is as connected as Bernanke.
Wake up people. ]
So just because he was chairman for the KC fed he is in your opinion “as connected a Bernake”.
Really?
You are banding about the whole “Guilt By Association” argument to discredit Cain.
I have a rather strong dislike of the federal reserve as well. But it is setup like any sort of government organisation or private organisation there are good people and bad people that work within it.
From what I have seen of Herman Cain he is a hell of a lot better than any of the other candidates currently (unless Sarah decides to run).
You seem to enjoy attacking Cain because your sheer hatred of the Federal Reserve BLINDS you. So it seems like we have another case of CDS (Cain Derangement Syndrome).
OK, so I said “I just told you” and you went back to the original post. I suppose that made some kind of sense to you somehow.
You also ignored the questions I asked you and are intent on defining my comments as “attacks” on Cain and “sheer hatred”. Shouldn’t you just call me a ‘racist’ and be done with it?
Keep shilling for Herman...
I agree!
