I also voted for Cain in 2004, so I've got two dogs in this fight, but Newt is my first choice since I think it is about time that we had a really smart person holding down the job in the Oval Office.

This may influence your decision: Newt Criticizes Herman Cain Over Anita Hill Joke (and relates it to Penn St, scandal!). Newt sounded like an academic feminist. I am VERY disappointed.

New Presidents need people to get them up to speed. Prior to being President they were not entitled to know ALL the intel. sheesh

Now see, you can post a nice logical post, thank you!

I like Rick Perry, he can do what needs to be done for the country, he knows what works. Your whole dislike is about illegals and illegals have always been in Texas, they are not just a ‘Perry thing’. Texas is almost half hispanic, they are our neighbors and friends and they are against those who are illegal too.

Obama has refused Perry’s requests for help and has even issued ‘mandates’ that prevent Perry from doing many things. You’ve read this information over and over.

Let’s let this conversation end on this congenial note because you and I could continue to argue endlessly,

Like you, I believe Cain is capable of improvement and will do so. The main reason I like Cain is that he is passionate about his Conservative beliefs and is willing to stand up and fight for them. He connects w/people. That is a “gift” and something neither Newt nor Romney will ever be able to do; despite their knowledge and experience in governing.


Completely agree with this assessment. With the right foreign policy team in place, this rocket scientist can make the right decisions for our blessed country. He is a quick study and I’d prefer him at the helm. I trust him with the nuclear football.

Perry looks like he is parroting talking points given to him by his handlers.

If that's the case he had better be careful. He could have a brain fart, forget the crammed info, and look really foolish.

I was replying to what was in the post, not in previous 4 exchanges. I thought they were talking about China ending up in the dustbin.

Newt was correct again.

As I said....I like Herman, I have VOTED for Herman, and if he is the nominee he will get my voted again, but....this is the big stage and you have to enter it will a bit of decorum and solemnity.

WE may like Anita Hill jokes or dismissing the former Speaker of the House as “Princess” Pelosi, but it is too flippant in this setting and should be avoided.

It was a gentle chide by Newt....and a not unwarranted one.

Enjoyed your post....And agree it's past time someone sits in the oval office that understands what it is and willing to serve our nations interests from that seat. Who understands this is the United States of America and what that means....

The more I think about 'how' I've concluded Newt the best for this job the more firm in my convictions he cannot be topped from those who are running...... One has a great sense of peace of mind when making a decision which is best for our country and putting aside my personl preferences of those I 'Liked'...

No human is going to be knowledgable on every subject equally. Even longtime members of congress have huge holes in their body of knowledge. Look at newt on science such as global warming. What a crock. The planet’s temperature changes. Big whoop. We didn’t cause it.

President Cain having foreign policy experts and advisors and a secretary of state that match his vision for our country vis a vis the outside world is very different from Barack obama, an anti American with foreign policy goals that hurt us and strengthen our adversaries. Cain doesn’t have to know everything. He just has to know how to know everything..

Two weeks of insulting the same group of people? Could that maybe, possibly, have anything remotely to do with it? ;)

How can Newt Gingrich successfully “get around” all of his personal baggage and political baggage, should Newt Gingrich, officially, end up somewhere on the final ‘12 GOP Presidential ticket?

I know it gets confusing but you replied to post #982

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2806605/posts?page=982#982

And he was saying he had made a mistake. He was referring to the 20 thousand people.

I figured you had it confused with someone saying Perry had said China. Others said he said Russia but it was during a garbled section of the web cam.

Lol, hope this makes sense.

Has anyone, ANYONE, noticed that all answers in ALL debates have been boilerplate, interchangeable among the candidates?
