Perry with another “my plan is coming out next week” excuse
Betting pool on how long the media jumps all over Perry for saying ‘brother’.
OOOOhhhh
Perry is going to have a plan later this week.
That is what he also said LAST WEEK.
Come on, Rick. Get your campaign in gear!
Hard to do when you are dealing with people who want to destroy you - they are not being rational - just ranting!
Cain is standing his ground and not backing away...that’s good enough for me.
A few snipping dogs up on a stage for a little while, ain’t nothing compared to the BIG “C” (CANCER). Its gang up on Herman Cain. He is definitely over the target. Perry is coming off as a real panderer with this “brother” business. Would he talk like that to the other candidates? Herman is going to kick their asses. Get ready for the ass whipping.
bachman’s wrong.
it is not a value added tax.
I am totally tuning out the 999 stuff. Seems as realistic as what the Wall Street protesters are asking for.
They are after Cain.
Cooper won’t even let Cain respond
Bachmann doesn’t understand the proposed 9 corporate tax because she misdescribed it as applying at the time a product is sold from one business to another.
It is not taxed at the time a product moves from one business to another.
It is a tax on business results, not on products as in the case of a VAT.
Yeh..that didn’t sit well w/me.
Cain accuses Perry of making the VAT argument.
Cooper: “Mr. Cain, you only have thirty more seconds.. ramble ramble.. your time is up...”
That’s not unusual in rural Texas. Not sure what your point is?
Not directed at you MestaMachine, but GOOD GOD PERRY, seriously, you don’t roll your plans out until after the debates? How pathetic can Perry get, to roll plans out after the debates. Either it’s part of his campaign strategy or he’s got idiots running it.
You are being sarcastic aren’t you?
big time.
they ought to go after obama.
newt’s the only one that’s figured this out.
HANG TOUGH HERMAN!
Just started watching..Perry just called Cain ‘brother’ while going after him? Douche...(and I say that as a former Perry fan if Sarah didn’t run).
Boy..everyone is going after Cain...makes me like him even more....lol.
