I agree, it’s a delicate issue to attack as a candidate.
All the knives are out for Perry!
Here goes Paul again.
New Daily Kos/Mainstream Media Meme for the week:
PERRY WANTS TO KILL SOCIAL SECURITY!!!!
I am. Great times when he was leading this country.
Makes me think about my Dad who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a few years after President Reagan. The smartest man I ever knew.
Zinger!
Morris just tweeted:
“Perry just hurt himself badly His SS answer could cost him the election”
“We are watching the suicide of a candidate”
He gets an atta boy for that.
Cain thumbs up for bringing up the Chilean model.
What channel is it on?
Paul. He’s coming off like the crazy uncle in the attic.
Thankk God!!!!!!!!!!!!
Herman Cain just gave a great answer on Social Security. Follow the Chilean model. Now Paul going after Perry on Gaurdosil vaccination. Firework time.
Here we go....Gardisil...GET ‘EM, Rick!!!
Who is that other moderator... from polictico???. He seems combative.
Paul is now talking about a vacine. He looked like he flipped out.
More Ron Paul. I hope someone has a running total of how much time each is getting. My impression is Michelle is deal last
Huntsman looks like Robert Culp (Greatest American Hero TV series)
Cain’s answer on Social Security was really good.
Now they’ve got Paul attacking Perry on the HPV issue.
Moderator’s goal tonight========>take Perry out!

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.
