I have.
I'm also encouraged because he is improving at every "debate".
Thank you Onyx! :-)
Yeah, career politicians have done so well as president over that last 20 years, haven’t they? God forbid a man of Cain’s accomplishments dare run for the White House.
Which specific statement “hated Mormons” and which FReeper said it?
FU-CNN! I despise those people!
Trust me, he set the bar so low in the last few debates that this was like a powerhouse performance. And he still looked like the might keel over mid-sentence with brain overload from searching for a difficult word.
Is the objective to secure the border? Or is it to build a fence?
Well, I’m pushing a very fine governor Rick Perry and I probably started the military service thing myself. But I immediately explained that I wasn’t knocking Cain’s service which was valid and valuable.
I was just infuriated by an obnoxious loser who called a man like Perry a sissy.
So, hopefully I won’t be zotted because I stand by my posts
“Cain blew it rit at the end, he actually praised Romneys amazing record! wTH?!”
It will be a Romney/Cain ticket. The two businessmen of the bunch.
Don't be! And I always share my pizza. lol.
Have a great rest of the evening! Sweet dreams. I'm hittin' the hay!
Amen!
A Mormon defender who constantly/personally puts people down is “put down!”
Why? It is true. Been there done that. I remember that hamster wheel and the pressure to perform. The sorrow is that there is no real grace in that religion and that is sad.
Bachmann needs to change the narrative from soundbites to record. Wayne Newton won’t be enough to win this race.
I think the times that the audience booed was when the person wasn’t allowed to give their answer because of persistent interruption and I saw it used on different participants that way. And that is fair. They should get the chance to respond.
Those links were to threads all the way back in 2003! Really??? Talk about carrying a grudge, LOL!

end snips....
Cain got some ‘splaing to do......
“You can’t fight your own fights and have to call in the posse to gang up on the one you disagree with. That shows a tremendous amount of insecurity.Can’t fight your own fights, cracks me up. Obviously the unpopular kid on the play ground.”
Bingo.
My daughter got married and is currently residing in Laramie with her Grad Student hubby...beautiful country there!
Oh, yeah. He covered his base at the end when he hoped it wouldn’t be noticed.
romney is Cain’s Plan B, you can bet on it.
And I can’t wait.
That's what my husband has been saying for weeks now. Obviously I'd rather it would be CAIN/Romney...
