Republican 2012 presidential candidates Republican 2012 presidential candidates Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich met in a Lincoln-Douglas style debate on current economic and social issues facing the U.S.
Charles...
I realize that you are not from GA...but I am, and I happen to know both of these fine men on stage...
I hate to break it to ya...but the whole “Contract with America” thing....was not Newt’s.....Newt may lead well...but us in GA know that his best talent is finding a parade and jumping in front of it....
Now, I am not trying to bash Newt...just letting you know that Newt may not be all you think he is...
BUT BOTH of these men are better than any other candidate from either party....IMHO
OOOPs....you are CORRECT....I mis-typed! VP IS head of Senate.
We all win with this debate!
No. Like them both. We're looking at the reason Newt's son came out today correcting the many year lie about him leaving wife 1 on her deathbed.
Again I have no interest in helping you disrupt the thread
I am watching it and enjoying it. Great insight on an important election
Yes, 0 - 0.
GeAUx TIGERS!
“Send them a package!”
Line of the night!!

Your posts are showing just how out of touch you are to what’s being stated on this thread and on C-span... and who is saying it...Cain is not my candidate of choice...sheesh...your reasons for being here are not honorable to say the least
woo hoo! Standing ovation!
Actually, I was thinking we need to barcode people as they cross the border.
The score, IMO, is that these two would be GREAT on the campaign trail together!
Get lost sonny.
Newt is fantastic. Cain is fantastic.
Go Newt! Go Cain!
The subject of fixing SS came up and again Newt went into his :”It's easy....” analogies. He says how SS was insolvent under Carter but it became solvent under Reagan merely by creating new jobs and increasing the economic growth rate.
Well that does sound like it was REALLY easy except.....Newt must have been a-sleep during a major change to SS under Reagan. Hint : It created the so called 'trust fund'.
If Perry prefers getting shot in the back, he must be a happy person this election cycle:
Cain: "[There] isn't a more vile, negative word than the N-word, and for [Perry] to leave it there as long as he did, before I hear that they finally painted over it, is just plain insensitive to a lot of Black people in this country."
Cain: "Since Governor Perry has been going there for years to hunt, I think that it shows a lack of sensitivity for a long time of not taking that word off of that rock and renaming the place. It's just basically a case of insensitivity."
Cain (later) : "All I said was the mere fact that that word was there was insensitive,'"
Cain (later) : ""I really don't care about that word,"
Please stop this silliness right now!
Jim is my hero and yours! I’m just a FReepr like you awesome all!
I think we might have our winning ticket tonight!!!
I am liking Gingrich again. He is intelligent, he still has to behave in a way to regain my trust tho.
