Genunity in question on that scan. Some have pointed out that letter is about as original as BO’s BC.
Its the Perry Romney debate.
I agree. Too bad the letter’s out there, as it can be misconstrued. Glad he came back and explained it to Yawn Paul. Thanks for the further clarification.
Perry telling it like it is on Social Security “ponzi scheme” and not backing down. We will see if he can navigate the minefield. Questioners trying to pit Romney vs Perry.
And he told the damned truth!
Newt, Cain, and Bachmann are getting somewhat left out.
Perry seems to be settling in — getting better acquainted with the debate process here and more at ease with showing who he really is. He is on his “up” now.
GREAT. Cain had to interrupt to get some time. Good for him.
Ron Paul has a new ad he’s placing all over the internet attacking Perry for being for Gore.
IMO tonight they aren’t giving all the candidates a chance to participate.
There’s a Romney/Perry focus.
Current speaking turns: Perry: 8 Romney: 5 Santorum: 2 Cain: 3 Huntsman: 3 Bachmann: 3 Paul: 3 Gingrich: 2
Chris Chistie's younger doughier brother?
Me too. I was in college and forgot to get an absentee. Asked a friend of mine of she wanted to go for a ride, skipped school and drove 400 miles to vote for Ronald Reagan. Plus, that friend and I ended up getting married a few years later.
Screw you Romney. Perry isn’t backing down and here comes Cain doing the same.
those two have been given half the time...
Charles Ponzi, small potatoes compared to DC Politicians
Newt hasn’t spoken since he lambasted the press.
Cain offering solutions to SS problems. Gets applause form crowd.
Morris is nuts.
****
I worry anytime Morris and I have the same opinion on anything. It rarely happens! He is usually wrong. LOL!
