Cain is a smart guy there is no question about it but he’s not very likely to win. I don’t know what his poll numbers are but probably near what Newts are, another really smart guy but neihter one will win.
Palestine... not Jordon... Katusha rockets do not fall from Jordanian airspace very often... and I have been there also.

It’s as if Romney is shining the pathway for Perry.
Watch the video again... this time leave your bias by your keyboard.

If Perry can be bought for 0.05% ($6K/$12M) in donations he's cheap! /s
It does take a lot more than talk to make a Conservative. Words mean absolutely nothing to me any longer... obama killed that off forever. What does matter is record and actions... and most of those people... not all of them... but most on that stage last night are not Conservatives... and those that are have such serious flaws as to disqualify them. Cain was the only one last night that was on that stage that I can trust or would vote for today.

He is probably my first choice but by the time the Tennessee primary rolls around, the issue will likely be decided for someone else.
He does have a purpose however. By raising the issue of tax change he makes the points and takes the spear wounds that the leaders don’t need to suffer. The same is true of Newt. He can raise issues and make points needed to be made and thus supplement the leaders.
Biggest loosers, Obama, MSDNC, Ron Paul for going off his meds a couple of times, Huntsman for being a uniter not a divider.
Very true, I guess the big question remains the same will she or won’t she get in?
Of course Sarah is running, last night proved that her approach is the perfect one in this kind of environment.
Folks need to remember, any vaccine needs to be administered before exposure. Statistics tells us about sexual activity rates among teenagers so as a policy matter you want to vaccinate before then but not at an age before the vaccine is considered safe. The FDA says that's 9 yo. which is 3rd grade. CDC recommends it for 11-12 yo.
Perry protected parental rights by streamlining the existing opt-out process for Gardasil. Compare to California which has passed a bill to give 12 year olds themselves the right to consent without parental knowledge or permission.
I’m not taking anything for granted. As I have said all along I support her 110% whether she runs or not.
Pelosi wasn't too bad looking when she was younger either.
Again, I'm not saying either one of these loons is hot; God no. But they aren't at the Tammy Baldwin/Barbara Milkulski/Michelle Obama f*cking gross level either.
If you’re going to make the claim, prove it. It’s the internet. It’s very easy to do.
I’m not going to do your work for you. If you’re going to slam people for having a difference of opinion and because they are being rude/crude/abusive, I want to see it.
Yes I think I see what you mean with Pelosi, Maybe they could put her pin-up picture in a Cougar issue playboy calender for you, with Boxer.
Maybe it's the fact that he looks just like Timothy Olyphant?
But sickoflibs, that is not the picture I want to see when I just woke up it is living a waking nightmare!!!
BTW: How long did you last during the commies bashing the candidates? I lasted about halfway through Al Sharpton mangling the English language before watching Hannity on DVR.
Impy could probably agree with me as a Bears fan. I would rather watch non stop highlights of the Green Bay Packers than anything on MSNBC. Don't they have a channel for nuts created by Algore?
Not only will Al Sharpton have no ratings but he'll set the Civil Rights movement back 70 years when folks will see him as a Stepenfeccher.
