new keyboard please ~
LMAO. That is absolutely hysterical ~
I don’t need to crunch the numbers, though lots of other people have and don’t like it.
I know adding a sales tax without repealing the income tax will be a disaster, period. It would never stay at 999, and we would never get rid of either tax. Michele Bachmann is absoulutely right about that. That Herman Cain doesn’t believe that just shows how naive he is about DC.
Be fair at least Bachmann brought up doing away with anchor babies. I don’t recall any of the others mentioning this albatross.
lol! Actually, my fellow council members loved and respected me which is why I was voted Mayor Pro Tem more times than I wanted and why I was urged by my fellow council members and other city leaders to run for mayor. In the end I declined and chose instead to focus on other endeavors including chairing the local chamber and my work in Kiwanis.
“Of course, they are all heretical, but they also are funny to non-mormons. To reference them is not hatred.”
You and your comments on Romney/Mormons sicken me. Go away, you are filled with bile.
LOL, that's cute.
Perry doesn't have to beat a teleprompter reader at a debate to win. All he has to do is point out that in the 10 yr as Gov of the 2nd most populous state in the country TX has increased jobs. Then all Perry has to do is point out he is Pro-Life, Pro-Family, Pro-2nd Ammendment, Pro-Defense, Anti-UN. The final closing will be pointing out when his dog was threatened by a coyote he pulled out his gun and killed it. Contrast that with the limp wristed pot smoking failure in the White House.
PERRY beats obama hands down.
No he didn't. He said he would build a fence along the entire border. He said if the Chinses could build the Great Wall, we could build a fence. Now he is changing his position. But I notice when Cain changes his position, either he says what he said before was a joke, or just claims he never said it.
In a fist-fight, I would prefer to have Perry on my side over Romney. In a Spelling contest, well, you would take the same guy I would.
I don’t think Mittens will be at the top of any ticket and he’s already said he won’t be VP. So maybe his new home in California will get well used.
How's all that hate working out for you?
lol!
Your 23-33%% combined taxes is replaced by 18 percent, 9 in income, 9 in sales.
It’s not that hard to figure out.
Yes I like that he was able to man up and say he mispoke. But yes it was an “uh oh” because in his original statement he stated that he would negotiate with terrorists. Not sure how be blew that one. he just needs to be more careful. he is best when he is on offense going after liberals rather than defensively having to explain previous statements. he needs to get on offense and stay there.
I think Cain just mention Romney and governor like he does with Perry. I think its a keep them as governors type thing. Also with all the bickering between Perry and Romney, it show Cain as being more adult and recognizing accomplishments. This may gain more votes for Cain from the moderates. He already has ‘our’ votes. :)
