Obama shouldn’t be President. He wasn’t and isn’t equipped, had no experience, and it shoes. He bamboozled liberals with smoke and mirrors and played on eace and white guilt.
I’m not questioning that Herman Cain is a good, decent man with an incredible American success story. I just don’t believe that is enough in these times. I agree with Cain on most issues.

I haven’t settled on a candidate yet. But if the primary were held tomorrow, I would most likely vote for Newt.

No, I didn’t know it so I’m glad you clarified. Perhaps you meant to type “that” forum sucks...so as posters here wouldn’t misunderstand.

Oh bull. You got caught and now you’re backtracking. You’ve whined about every debate because Perry ducked in all of them.

I don’t think he’s done such a good job of that so far. And everybody will SAY they would surround themselves with the best.

What is the actual evidence that he will? Where is his record of appointing good people to his administrations, or to his congressional staff? The problem is he has no experience, he has never had to appoint people to political positions, so we have no way of knowing.

If Block is an example of the “best”, we are in trouble.

Scrolling through the thread now, couldn’t wait to see what you all said at the end. During, we kept having to pause for a screaming baby (early teething?) so I couldn’t keep up with the thread! That ending was fantastic, herman’s question to newt! Brought down the house, and brought down Newt! His face, face palm, everyone laughing.

Best debate ever. Cain Gingrich all the way. If newt were the veep, Herman should have him in every cabinet meeting! Don’t want newt as Pres because the SOTU speeches would be a weekend long!

Then Romney and Perry have one more thing in common.

Is Rick Perry your daddy? He needs to learn how to network and become a flower of ideas. Outside of that he sucks.

Thankfully, I’m not in need of a job. However, were I, moving would only be feasible if there was a job to go to. As I told another poster, a friend had to move and it took more than a year to sell their house. With no jobs comes no people to purchase homes.

You’re way off base. My Life is a true Freeper and not about to attack this cyber home we share. That you choose to misunderstand is your problem. Yes there was amiguity in the comment, but fellow freepers need to stop this trashing each other and give each other the benefit of the doubt. Take a deep breath and calm down; my life is not the enemy.

Well, if Perry, Gingrich and Cain share the same platform but Perry’s already implemented the platform, and Perry is a RINO, then so are Newt and Gingrich, except they’re ARMCHAIR RINOs.

This forum really sucks.

Forum is not synonymous with format.

True, did not say he wasn’t, actually I have said he is. Actually his ex wife got his ga home, I believe.

Cain is right about means testing and giving that power to the local level

Why don’t you make that plea to your Perry friends?
