Cain & Newt tie
Perry unsure, defensive
Johnson
Bachman
Paul
Hunstman (Why is he there?)
In IL, in-state can run as high as $19,300—plus room board and books....
out-of-state $28,000-$33,000 plus room and board and books,
Perry is toast. As Drudge said: "Perry Doubles Down on Illegals." Bad move. Game, set, match.
How ironic...
you said “Palin/Cain - Just might be the largest landslide in U.S. history.”
Ironic: “mcCain/Palin” = “Palin/Cain” lol
I agree I would definately love the Palin/Cain ticket and would support it 100%
"All hat, no cattle"
Attrition thru enforcement
Just curious - why do you think that "O" has anything to do with his nomination, or his winning?
The whole damned thing looked like a circus to me ..Im not seriously impressed yet by any of them .
Luntz has a roomful of idiots perpetuating lies
This was written by another Freeper, we can only hope it is correct:
Mrs. Palin is remaining quiet....she is waiting....she knows her battle plan....she knows her timing.....she is learning....studying the opposition....guarding the “cubs”....waiting quietly with an occasional “roar” (like the comments at the Iowa State Fair).....reconnoitering the challengers from within and the enemY from without.....studying weaknesses....building and conserving her strength....endlessly practicing....reading...honing her skills.....waiting.....waiting.....
This war has not yet begun. What has been seen of the other candidates to date has been nothing but minor and irrelevant skirmishing. Candidates in...candidates out....candidates winning....candidates losing.....candidates saying silly things.....candidates saying cogent, insightful things....
It is a very very long way to next November. There is no need to rush. In her mind’s eye, Mrs. Palin smiles knowingly and remembers the words of Napolean, “Never interupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” and General Patton, “Our basic plan of operation is to advance and to keep on advancing regardless of whether we have to go over, under, or through the enemy. We are going to go through him like crap through a goose; like shit through a tin horn!”
When she arrives, you can count on total war. She has learned how to fight. She does not spin; she does not back away from principles; she means exactly what she says...and says exactly what she means. She builds a base of support because of who and what she is....not because of who or what she panders to.
Patience.....patience....
Wait for it!
And keep the faith....

If it’s all illegals, they won’t play basketball, they’ll be the trithalon team. Running, climbing and swimming
focus group...perry got the lowest negative of any republican ever on immigation.
Thanks, that’s the most concise explanation I’ve seen on this.
Hopefully it will sink in with those here who are still in denial.
Right now Frank Luntz’s focus group is giving a debate win to Myth Romney. But Willard is still no conservative. People need to do their homework.
Perry will lose some support.
Hopefully he will recover quickly.
The Kenyan will pull an LBJ and drop out. F&F, Solyndra, LightSquared and the Palestinian issue, even discounting the ecomedy, are too much for him. It’s Mitt vs. the Hilldebeast. Yecch. Acccckkkk. Barrrrfff. Electing A truly conservative Congress is even more critical now, to keep the next White House turkey in check.
Well, Frank Luntz has declared the election over, Romney wins. Sigh. Perry was definitely terrible tonight. If he can’t put 3 sentences together and tell the world who Romney really is, maybe he should drop out. I surely hope somebody like Herman Cain gets some traction. Who knows, maybe I’ll forgive Newt Gingrich for his global warming idiocy, if I think he has a chance to stop Romney. I’d like to see Palin give it a shot. Maybe if Perry keeps stumbling around, she will.
Cain, Newt and Perry would be my top 3 choices. However, Romney seems to be the gop establishments darling..just ask Rove.
perry is a joke. He is the absolute worst of everyone up there.
