Noot is devious and trickey, and for that reason, he could be handy to have around, but not a heartbeat away from the control stick, no way.
And inaccurate one as well.
So, did you ever take the LDS missionary discussions like you said you were going to?
“yada yada yada. You likely don’t have a clue how much you’ve made some folks despise Christianity—at least your brand of it.”
I know, I know, the Apostles Peter and Paul had the same problem opposing those who taught falsehood as their Savior Christ had with the Pharisees.
I can expect no less.
This is a Romney Perry game. The money declares that. Perry is the distance runner. The country is not yet watching reportedly. When the others are gone who will it be? Romney or Perry.
CNN showing the Romney-Perry horn-locking over and over.
SNL skit material. Watch for it this weekend.
Ari Fleischer says it’s still a Perry/Romney race?? Are these journalists on DRUGS???
And the stock tanks draw their water from...???
Rainfall? Sometimes. But there isn't a whole lot of rainfall between El Paso and Laredo.
Wells? Sometimes. But there isn't a whole lot of groundwater between El Paso and Laredo.
The river? And even that is usually dry between Fort Hancock and Presidio.
Why would you want to cut your own people, their livestock (and wildlife) from a vital resource in a semi-arid landscape? And, at the same time, give the other side free and unfettered access to the resource?
Securing the border is a necessity. A fence works well across open desert. But, on a river, all it does is burden your own citizens (and attract climbers, tunnellers or clippers to the more remote regions).
Why not do what the Israelis do -- on the Jordan? They know a lot more about this business than we do. And they use armed outposts and patrols.
I think he was damaged on his 999 plan, and also the hostage question. If I'm right, Cain's poll numbers will drop off in the next week or so. If you're right, they won't. We'll see,
I think it would be a sissy fight and both sissys would lose.
No, sweetie, your dear Cain friends will now turn on you like vultures on a deer carcass.
You have to love, love, love Cain or it’s curtains for you.
Cain was genius tonight.
He managed to zing Romney one and the audience didn’t “boo” and half the folks on this thread missed.
He made the distinction tonight that he is “Mainstreet America” not “Corporate America”.
You had a Romney friendly audience who decided they liked Cain even though he is light years more conservative. He knows how to garner support. Newt did well, as always too.
Either one could take Obama down easily in a debate, Newt has more baggage.
Now that the debate is over, you’ll note that not a SINGLE question was asked about Fast&Furious, Solyndra, Light-Sqared, the Indiana Forgery Scandal, etc.?
audience sort of audibly cringed
So what about the audience, they cringed cause they were for Romney
Bachmann is a Fair Tax supporter. Every time she attacks Cain’s plan, I lose a little more respect for her.
“My problem is that Romney knew but kept the company on for a long period of time.”
You are suffering from selective hearing. Romney said when he found out about the subcontracting of illegals by his geez, lawn moving service, he told the contractor to fire them, and the contractor said he did. Then, the contractor hired a guy who had false papers, and he was ratted out to the MSM, so Romney at that point fired the lawn service for not doing what he said, which was to hire no illegals. Although, I feel sorry for the contractor, because he too was snookered by the false papers submitted by the employee to his employer. Now, that changes the complexion of the interaction about this matter, doesn’t it. You just don’t want that part known, nor admit it. Therefore your comment is dirty pool, isn’t it.
People don’t factor in cain eliminates payroll taxes, and you only pay the 9% when you choose o buy a new good.
Also, because he cuts business taxes, the cost of goods will go down.
Didn't watch CNN after the debate, but Greta Van Sustern and Sarah Palin having the same dialogue on Fox News. Had me screaming at BOTH of them (a first where Sarah is concerned).
This debate, not surprisingly, was CNN's best attempt to make sure Romney got the majority of the time and almost always the last word. The whole idea was to make ALL of the Republicans look petty and argumentative (keeping the light off Obama). The skewed Romney audience helped greatly in this charade.
You do know that Perry served his country in the airforce, don’t you.
Where did you serve?
Where did Cain serve?
Calling Perry a sissy would be beyond the pale for a normal human being, but I’m not sure you meet that standard.
Pinging other people who would have been logically included in your attack isn’t calling my posse it is informing others who have a right to know.
And you know what I hate about your ilk? You have no clue what you are talking about. You make false accusations and don’t back it up. You throw out attacks without proof.
I hate still having to deal with stupid liberals like yourself.
