Barf alert: the host is Anderson Cooper.
Shall we start a pool on how long it takes Anderson to ask Herman Cain why he and the Tea Party hate latinos and want them to die an agonizing death by electrocution when they are only the purest of souls coming here to do jobs Americans won’t do?
My guess: 8:07 p.m. EST, and I further guess that Cain will answer the question very successfully and Anderson will cry in disappointment on Candy Crowley’s shoulder.
Thank you!
Thanks,still out here in the boonies.
I don’t see where there is a ban on congress having a sales tax. The are allowed to lay taxes (...The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises,...)Art 1, Sect 7), the only restriction was on enumeration which the progressives turned over by way of the 16th.
I’m just gonna get this out of the way. The one central point about Herman Cain’s “999” plan is that he came up with “an idea”. Sure it has rough edges, but it could be built on... or scrapped. That is a remarkable achievement when one notes that Obama has yet to come up a single positive/workable idea either as a US senator and now as president. His policies have been that of destruction. Penalties, more federal oversight and regulation, breaking down barriers where barriers should exist (think gays in the military). He’s simply a destroyer.
But then why was there a need of the 16th Amendment to allow Congress to tax income?
Working great. Thanks.
Are they going to ask Santorum what he thought of SNL skit with him an a gay bar?
Herman Cain is going to be facing some major league pitching tonight. Will he go 4 for 4 with a grand slam or will he strike out 4 times? Or will it be something in between.
As a Cain backer, I will be on the edge of my seat tonight to see how he handles the pressure. In previous debates, the pressure was mostly on Perry and the others. With Perry pretty much down for the count, tonight all guns will be trained on Cain as he seems to be the only person standing between an awful choice of Mitt Romney or Barack Obama next November.
Good luck tonight Herman and don't let the bastards grind you down!
BTW...breaking on FoxNews right now are allegations that Barack Obama's campaign committed fraud in the 2008 Indiana primary, many of the voter signatures (to get Obama on the ballot) were forged and when the forgeries are removed, Obama would not have had enough signatures to get on the ballot. Apparently other states are being investigated as well and ACORN is in it up to their ears.
If it’s anything like the last debate, it’ll be “Herman who?” — he won’t be called on, and if he attempts to break in they’ll shut him up. To the media and Republican establishment, Romney’s already the candidate, and anyone who says otherwise just might as well shut up.
Of course, based on the polls, it looks like a LOT of people aren’t shutting up... :-)
Anderson Poofter! Wolf Blitzer! Andrea Borger and the OWS Looney Toons! Wooo Wooo!

Many scholars believe that is precludes income tax. The 16th was the progressive manuver to "clarify" the gubments right to income tax.
Excellant post and questions!
The questions will be cleverly disguised accusations leveled by an amorphous “they”. Example: “They say you resent your own race Mr Cain, can you explain these allegations?”. Soviet show trial stuff all the way.
Pre-debate discussion, one panel guy (I don’t know who he is) says the candidates need to give more than bumper sticker responses.
Blitzer reminds that they usually have 1 minute to answer and 30 seconds to respond.

We do need a format that provides more ‘meat’ from the candidates and less reliance on gotcha’s.
