Because Cain can’t defend 9-9-9 in a coherent way.

I agree. Last night, he kept going on about apples and oranges - I was waiting for the recipe for fruit salad.

[rodguy911]

I saw that.

But truth is this is the time to advocate conservative candidates.Why not.

Even if ultimately get a candidate who is not a conservative I say we still advocate that the Republican Party is now a Conservative party.

Let the rinos try and get the candidates elected that a Sarah Palin will.Won't happen and they know it.

Without us there is no Republican Party. We have to continue to light fires under their butts until two or three cycles from now we have only conservative candidates to pick from. That day will come. Just might not be right away. Good things sometimes take time.

How is the 9 percent business tax not a value added tax?

[rodguy911]

They don’t understand any of that,their internal teleprompters were not programmed for outside of the US.Besides they are protesting no bree for a side dish.

[HonestConservative]

present.

Bush did the same thing, travel to a town and stack the audience.

[Eagle of Liberty]

That's why the Tea Party Pats are so important. With them in Congress we have a future for the country. Without them; not so much.

Completely agree. Without enough Reps that are going to FIGHT for a certain piece of legislation, plan A gets introduced and then through the process of "compromise", we get plan A Lite, which is usually a disaster.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I’m not surprised.

Say, did you know about this? I just posted it.

Hey all I can tell you nutmeg is that as a fellow older guy when you have a younger blonde laying next to you,some days you won’t be behind the golden mike.(and wont regret it either.)

Yesterday a friend invited hubby and me (and my oldest daughter, too) to a private reception and a dinner on the 29th for Herman Cain. Hubby and daughter can’t make it as they’ll be working a concession stand at the Ole Miss game.

But I can make it! It is being held at a nice hotel and the tickets are a bit pricey (at least to me). I said that because I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO WEAR. HELP!

Whoa, nice! How exciting... have a great time, and please let us know how it went. :-)

Do you have a nice business-type suit or dress? I'm sure that'll be fine...

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Men! One-track minds . . .

[mylife]

I think Mark is way off the mark on Perrys performance last night.

[nutmeg]

LOL! Hey, Rush can do his radio show from home... I don’t care. ;-)

[rodguy911]

That may be true. But Cain is still way ahead of a potus that thinks we have 57 states.....

[mewzilla]

I've got a quote for the Occupiers...

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

Because Cain can’t defend 9-9-9 in a coherent way. He couldn’t explain how it’s not a value added tax. He’s been so vague about the details I’m not sure he completely understands it. I thought his vagueness was a strategy he was saving for an 0bama debate but now it’s unclear if it’s even actuarially plausible. At least to me it isn’t.

I think HE understands it, but he definitely had a hard time explaining it to people who simply did not want to understand it. Everyone keeps looking at this 9% sales tax in a static sense instead of looking at the other taxes that get reduced, others that get removed and the lower tax rates overall that are applied to a larger tax base.

In interviews, he does a much better job explaining how 9-9-9 is not a VAT.

[rodguy911]

[Clint N. Suhks]

LOL! Clint Jr's new liberal "girl friend" who 'had' distain for all things Alabama, came down from Merryland, went out and bought a dress just to go to the Florida game last weekend. He made her do a 180° about the south...I'm so proud of them.

[Eagle of Liberty]

How is the 9 percent business tax not a value added tax?

What is the difference between that and current embedded business taxes?

[rodguy911]

Exactly and equally as important is down the road not having to fight rinos as well as dems to get key legislation passed.
We need an unending war on Rinos until the last one is gone.
