“Is it my imagination - Herman Cain not getting equal time?”
no, you’re right - he’s not. neither is rick santorum.
They want to see a brawl between Romney and Perry. Paul for comic value, and Huntsman because they adore him as BHO’s boy.
Those are the ones getting preferential time.
I am really coming away liking Perry despite my preconceived notions.
Sarah? Lol...where is she btw?
OK I had to help walk the dogs, what did I miss?
I have to agree. Perry just called Obama a liar about the border - here we go. Perry not afraid to use blunt terms. We will see how this works. personally I find it refreshing but only if he follows through. So far it looks like Perry doesn't back down.
I’m sure no answer is good enough for you
Agree. Her dilly-dallying is making her appear weak.
It is not accidental that Americans do not know about the successful Chilean retirement system. They privatized it about 3 decades ago, and people were able to retire very comfortably.
Agree 100%.
The media is desperate to paint him as someone to be feared. His approach to this topic plays into their hands.
We FReepers were OK with what he said because we understand it. Most Seniors out there do not.
If he is going to say something this politically charged, he has to explain himself MUCH better than he did this evening.
And they’ll bring Richard Simmons up to ask them about gay marriage.
I don’t know who he is, but would that idiot “moderator” please sit his @ss down?
Romney is right about the fence. A major separation from Perry. Romney is going to appeal to some folks on these questions.
Andale!!
