Your absolutely correct here. It seems like everyone seems to think Volcker would have been a better answer. However when the best answer is a Carter appointed Dem, who was fired by Reagan and more recently served as Chairman of Obama’s Economic Advisory Board......I would say I have to agree with you in that there was really no good choice.

lOL, no Perry won’t. And, he is hardly more Conservative than Cain.

I don’t doubt Mitt’s made “the deal” with her and one or two others, Cain included.
I agree. The fix is in. Perry threatened to upset the applecart which is why the issue of "soft on illegals" had to be concocted to get rid of him. (After the phony issue of Gardisil was raised and then quickly dropped.)

Although I do admit, Perry being unable to speak for himself is a huge problem for him.

But still, the fact that Perry can't speak doesn't absolve the major players of their guilt for their part in the Conspiracy of RINO, and it doesn't excuse the stupidity of all the suckers who are following along like lemmings over a cliff.

I think ole Johnny left his marbles in said sh**hole.

But even he in retrospect looks...well not “good” but “better” compared to Mr. Just for Men. Mitt would be the biggest RINO since Ford.

That is what was reported and I know the person making the report. It should be investigated further but if this is the truth (and I think it may be) Newt has suffered a lot of abuse he didn’t deserve.

He said that the plan is forth coming with in the next 3 days.

In the meantime you can look at the Texas economy.

“This surprised you?”

No, I didn’t say that.

What surprised me was him and Huntsman being in the same room didn’t cause a black hole to spontaneously appear.

I think thise two (Cain, Gingrich) like each other and would make a formidable team. I wish the adults would get back in charge. I wish the question on how you would reach concensus in Congress would have gone to Newt. He did it. Herman’s answer on that one was disappointing. Like it or not, we are going to have Democrats in office after 2012...and the worst of the bunch.

Harry Reid (although in a diminished role) and Pelosi (whose district is too full of koolaid to elect anyone else) They are still powerful and can do damage to our next President.

You’ll have to work with others to marginalize their impact...and the only one up there that I can seee who can do that is Newt.

Cain, as a CEO, may be used to working with a board of directors and other officers but as CEO, you still call the shots and everyone else falls in line. Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s up to the challenge..but I don’t think he’s had to face that much dissention before. Newt has.

No, I do no hate Palin. The problem is a few of you rabid Palin fanatics HATE anyone who may see things differently and can't deal with another point of view.

Even if someone says there was no evidence to substantiate a run for the WH, you called that hate. Hate, hate, hate. You use that word just like liberals.

I want to win an election, We must choose wisely. I can read and if anyone was willing to look at the evidence objectively, they would have to acknowledge that Palin had high negatives and would not be the most effective candidate Republicans could choose. Stating the obvious does not translate to hate.

I just found this. It may deserve it’s own thread. I don’t know what is appropriate to post and what isn’t. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0511/54971.html

Thanks. Perry supposedly had 15 million free at the end of the cycle, but we’ll have to see. The “southern” money is on hold and may not come into play, but there is a ton of “northeast/California” cash ready to be spent.

Let's discuss Perry's economic plan. Oops! Perry managed to inform us that he doesn't have an economic plan during the debate that focused solely on the economy.

Such an unfair statement.

He clearly said he would have one........in a few days.........

Lol. I’m from the south, so I know how black people talk. He should have said “My 9-9-9 plan gonna make you ‘po” ‘cause it’s not well thought out, but damn is it a catchy turn of a phrase.”

Troll back atcha!!

As a boxing match Newt G. won because of clean, sharp, powerful punches. His defense was silence and then the sureness of those masterfully potent punches. The awe an opponent has of you is a defense method.

Cain got honorable mention. Cain was a quick-puncher, his types of punches somewhat limited in number. The 999 and the 999 and then the 999. But it’s a Dempsey-esque paradigm gut busting “shovel punch” of a punch. Cain also employed the weak-hand the deflectatory “Economist Lowry” and “Federal Reserve” punches at times as a adjunct to his defense method — that method being quickness and firmness.

Romney and similarly Perry were classic style boxers. No surprises, well-trained. Romney wore out the audience by over-talking, yap, yap, yap, yap. His effect was lost in a cloud of yapping dust. Perry just never got in the ring much, and when in the ring had no special hero sauce to share with the voters looking for a hero. He looked like another in a long line of older white males with dark hair (for whatever reason to have dark hair at that age) and a business suit. IOW, boring.

Paul has some really strong punches, but he wanders into and out of the ring at will, sort of hard to see such a man as a national President.

Bachmann clearly worked on appearance and voice, and both improved, although she always looks great, last night she looked like a real leader. But ... her messages drifted and lock-in on and emphasis on ideals wasn’t there. The audience (me) can’t handle hearing endless repeating of parts of the Michelle Bachmann story. Put the ideals out FIRST and then brand them. She has that cart and then horse, putting her personal and political story in front of the ideals.

Santorum added to the debate with some fine displays of great responses, but he also by desperation “I’ve had the least time to answer” validate his non-serious contendership.

There was another man there, but he is like some random “meeting ballast” you’ll see managers drag into meetings at time to make the meeting seem bigger.

Maybe you need to see again that Global Warming commercial with Newt and Nancy Pelosi on a love seat telling us how we all need to live in the stone age.

I do not trust Newt.

Perry was three days short of an economic plan for a debate that focused on economics. Unprepared. Fail.

DRey - Palin said she wouldn’t deport either.

DRey - Seriously? Palin said it would be impossible to deport all the illegals.


Which one is the truth DRey because “wouldn’t” and “impossible” have two VERY different meanings. Of course, you knew that didn’t you?

I really don’t give a hot damn about the GOP. I do care about getting Obama out of office. I will vote for and so will the vast majority of FR, the eventual nominee. It doesn’t matter what is said now and by whom.
