I thought his answer was great!
BEAUTIFUL reply by Herman Cain, citing information about his nine-month ordeal of diagnosis, treatment and recovery from Stage 4 colon and liver cancer. THANK GOD Mr. Cain is a citizen of the United States... he surely wouldn't be with us today if he had to rely on a socialist healthcare system like those in Canada, the UK, Italy, France, Sweden, etc., etc.
Chris Wallace is going for Perry’s jugular.
Wallace is now attacking Perry.
so, what other kinds of government involvement in private healthcare decisions to you all favor?
Cain has really impressed me in these debates.
So the illegals are getting loans or working here? I am glad we are not paying the $100,000, but again, I have questions about where they are getting it—teen unemployment among LEGAL teens and young adults is at highest rate since WWII....so illegals are competing with legals for student jobs ...Sorry, it has just been a really expensive ride putting 3 kids thru college with no loans.
I also think it is really outrageous that a LEGAL citizen/student from Arkansas will pay out-of-state tuition for at least one year—depending on the accuracy of what I am reading here...
TX, is entitled to do this, but I really did not like Perry’s embrace of the policy and would hate to see it go National.
Big bad drug companies
I agree with you on the Romney, Morris thing but you have to admit...Perry is bombing. He is way over his head.
Big time
I agree!! I want to hear more from Herman
Please don’t misunderstand me. Illegal is illegal! No getting around that. Truthfully, they should all be sent packing or arrested and then sent packing. I’m not condoning what Perry has done, but I’m not there.....
I was thinking the same thing. Bachman answered the question on so-called “separation of church and state,” well.
She got her Gardasil shot
bump
should read: “Dont waste your breath on the bullies and intimidators” FIFY
Our REAL enemy is in the WH.
I don’t think so, Err of the side of life? as governor AND as president? uh uh. Not a good answer EVEN
Can you not see the nation is being invaded? It won't be the Land of the Free if this invasion continues....understand the illegals say they aren't illegals...they say they are simply "coming home"...that this is their land.
ditto.
