I got some good stuff out of it. Let me give you my thoughts and please tell mm yours.
Romney is a stuffed suit who really is more of the same. His answer about only cutting capital gains taxes for those earning less than 200K speaks volumes.
Huntsman with his backhanded comment about religion to Perry just confirms he's an ass.
Paul is right about sound money tied to gold, but he's too much of a one trick pony.
The guys I liked:
Cain is confident and quick witted, but naive.
Gingrich as always soars above the rest because he goes out of his way to elevate everyone.
Bachmann passionate, intelligent and a great life story.
Santorum is sharp and has it right on the role of a family in the solution to poverty.
Perry was right on target on freeing states by blockgranting funds, tort reform, the need for a real energy policy and a great life story.
I was happy with Perry's performance and his answers. He is so right on reforming medicaid. I think he did well. Santorum would be a good VP choice, or Gingrich, they both were good.
Perry did very well. I thought he was just fine. Bachmann was her b*tchy self. Romney is a stuff shirt. Cain is all blow and no go. Of course, Newt is great. Santorum did well...I agree with your analysis except for Cain...Cain’s 999 plan is exactly what Michele said it was a new tax plan. I wasn’t impressed with Cain tonight. Like in his other debates.
I really do think of the lot Perry would make the best President. The problem is that though he’s not the worst candidate, he’s down there near the bottom.
I feel really bad about that. The person who I believe would do the best job is also one of the people who I believe has a recedingly small chance of winning this thing.
I’m going into spectator mode.
Agree with your assessment. Don’t much like the Romney-Cain mutual admiration society. Romney started the socialist healthcare pattern, Cain seems to appreciate him and it adds up to nothing but moderate, Rino style discernment on the issues.
I like, and still like Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich
