Under Cain’s plan everyone DOES pay something
I was expecting Look for the Union Label or perhaps The Internationale from that vile bunch of traitors. CNN, of course, was founded by the anti-American hippy, Ted Turner. Under its current corporate overlords, CNN has become even more of a Marxist mouthpiece.
Gotta love Newt.
I’m not going to vote for him, but he’s great in these debates.
Won't be the first time for Rick.
Bachmanns shrill attacks on other Conservatives and her mindless undescribable plans are growing tiresome.
This charade and pile on really proves Herman Cain is the frontrunner, if the MSM wants to 999 this to death and give his opponents endless openings to pummel him on the ropes. Good for them. Good for Herman, though, too. He is unflappable. I wish these people would start attacking OBAMA. IT IS CLEAR CNN DOES NOT WANT OBAMA TO BE THE ISSUE.
I don’t think Cain/Gingrich would happen.
Perry calls all the men "brother." Watch the old video clips of his speeches . . .it is not a black/white thing.
Newt is sharp like that.
Good post.
Gives him a buffer. They can’t attack what they don’t know.
This Romney guy is just....., just........- a TURN OFF.
Agreed!
Exactly right. I am so angry at this GOP field I am going to spend my own money to help advertise the truth about 999. Cain is not perfect, nothing is perfect. But we need an answer and the code has to be thrown out now.
The 16th needs to be repealed and the income tax abolished.
Cain is doing what good executive leaders do, casting the big picture vision and letting the worker-bees sort out the details.
Yeah, Perry’s “roll out” of ideas is loooong.
Perry just said something about energy, and Romney said Perry was correct.
At least someone gave Perry a Red Bull before this debate
Perry’s energy answer was spot on!
I would love to watch the debate. Didn’t have a bit of problem with the Bloomberg live stream.
CNN stream sucks just like Anderson Cooper does.
Dim Rick did Ok there with his tear on Energy development.
