Dang, Perry stuttered like a drunken fool

Perry is cooked if anyone actually watched this debate.

Too bad as I actually had hight hopes for Perry. Now my best hope is that either Palin, Newt, Cain win. (Oh, I know all of you smarta$$es.....”Palin isn’t running!” She will.

I cannot stand Mitt Romney.

Can you not see the nation is being invaded?

Yep. And I think there are solutions much better than putting prison walls around our country.

And I said it before Paul did...walls that keep people out can keep people in. Wait, I know, it could never happen here or in Europe or Cuba...

Perry comes across as not a strong believer believer in conservatism. He seems to be a strong believer in political expediency.

...but, will then go get sick and have to take a shower (or two), to do it!

Best wishes with that. Didn't work getting the 'McCain stain' off of what was left of my honor. Plus, it's like that carpet stain that just keeps coming back every time he opens his mouth...

Reagan did say that didn’t he?

“When your neighbor’s out of a job, it’s a recession. When you’re out of a job, it’s a depression. When Jimmy Carter’s out of a job, it’s a recovery.”

I fear that Romney is coming out well in this debate. That would drive me to vote 3rd party or just stay home.

My fear as well. But if Obama wins another 4 years that will drive me to Costa Rica for at least 3 years maybe longer (depending on where this nation will be 7 years into his Presidency).

Before Obama took the WH we were the most competitive nation in the world now we're at number 5.

If you have children or grand-children... you may think twice before voting 3rd party in 2012. I don't think you will want to see where Obama could take us in a second term.

I really, really like Cain, but he will never win, because of Obama.

Yeah, I really liked Santorum tonight. I think Perry will lose a few points off of this one. Want to hear Rush comment tomorrow on this.

I’m just dropping buy to say my two-cents...haven’t read the whole thread yet. My impressions are:

...seeing Mitt and Perry go head to head reminds me of watching the movie Dumb and Dumber. It’s almost painful.

...Cain has great business sense and health care thoughts, but I’m not sure yet about his ability to lead in a political framework.

...Michelle is more firm tonight and that is helping her, but she still sounds unsure of facts, and that is an issue when you are talking about being President.

...Rick is having a good night. Not sure about his military stance, simply because I’m not sure he got to fully outline it.

...Newt extremely wise, but my trust for him is not there. Sorry. I respect his knowledge very much. His age also concerns me.

...Huntsman is just Mitt with different hair.

...Paul is wacky on foreign policy but his idea of personal liberty and smaller government is good. He is just too extreme in his expression and appearance to instill confidence from me.

...other guy? I didn’t get anything other than I have a balanced budget plan. He did get a good joke in.

Overall, Rick and Herman are more interesting to me, coupled with some good policy advising from Newt. I really like Newt, I just wish I trusted him.

I know that Freepers hate to hear this, but we need a candidate to soundly beat Obummer...and that means grabbing the independents. NOTHING is more boring than Obummer...and Romney is the best bet for that. Me? I love the Hermanator and Newt...

I have been supporting Perry but I agree with you, another Texas governor that cannot speak.
