Any of those debating tonight are head and shoulders better than Zerobama. Yes even Ron Paul is better than Zero.

I liked performances by Cain, Newt, Perry, Bachmann & Romney.
The country is in deeper shyt than most people realize. Just based
on that alone I would prefer Cain. This guy knows how to define a problem, how to analyze it correctly, how to find right people working on it, and solve it. He has actually done it several times.

But Perry, Bachmann & Romney are also acceptable, since any one of them would be 1000 times better than Zero. If Palin was running she would also be at the top of my list because she is against crony capitalism, and old boys network as she actually demonstrated as governor. My guess is she is not running this time.

Just seems to me that he needs to relax. I know, easier said than done, but he has a lot to offer to the debate.

These Republicans are stupid to go on MSNBC. They have 4 commies at a table and Chris Matthews as the "Bret Baier" of the show.

The one entertaining aspect is it does remind me of going to the circus when I was a child.

Maddow is the bearded lady, Schultz is just a normal carnie, O'Donnell is the fatest man alive and Sharpton is the dumbest person with a English vernacular of thirty words of English.

However, to Al's credit Al is an expert on rape, extortion, give me some money, you's be a racist, I gots to get me some Obama, I be's the best Reverend even though my divinity degree came out of my own mind...

'What the hell is a social conservative?"

======================================

A term invented by "fiscal conservatives", i.e. liberals, to make themselves sound conservative.

I'm with you, either you are conservative or not.

It's like being pregnant.

You can't be a little bit pregnant, you either are or you aren't.

Caught “Chrissy” Matthews grilling Santorum after the debate on WHY Santorum didn’t “bring up” the social issues like gay marriage and Don’t Ask Don’t Tell .. ..

What — is Santorum in charge of the debate? Last time I checked, candidates are supposed to their best to answer the question posed to them.

Matthews — off the reservation, totally.

So I thought Perry came across badly, just a career politician

Perry did well in the debates. There is no question about that. He remains the front runner. I thought Perry should have expanded more on his answers on Social Security since he is gutsy enough to take that one on. I can support him and we'll see how it goes. Right now he is shutting down Romney which I find to be an outstanding side benefit

What I find interesting in these political debates is Republicans are almost always asked questions by demoKKKRATS. demoKKKRATS are almost always asked questions by fellow demoKKKRATS. There are hardly any Conservatives asking ever asking questions in these debates.

Studies show that 75% of young women are engaging in sex.

People may not be aware that very young Junior High School students are engaging in oral sex because they consider it ‘safe’. I have even read of it happening in Elementary schools. They are in danger of contracting the HPV virus.

Jan 14, 2010 – More than 40 types of HPV can be passed through sexual contact. ... in the mouth or throat of a person who had oral sex with an infected person. .... There is NO CURE for the virus HPV.

According to new Canadian research, more than 75 percent of sexually active young women have previously engaged in oral sex,

REPEAT; There is NO CURE for the virus HPV.

Most likely. But the Dems are in a lose/lose. They can run him and get their butts kicked or they can primary him out and lose the entire black vote. Again resulting in a butt kicking.

Fastest way to lose black support is for you to be in favor of ENTITLEMENT REFORM!
