I agree completely. I liked Cain and Gingrich both tonight. I did enjoy Perry slapping down Mitt though. Bachmann did not impress me tonight and I am disappointed, that whole ‘mom’ thing annoyed me (and I’m a woman).

Or go to the doctor, or dentist, or lawyer, or accountant, or Engineer, or architect, or landscape contractor, or get your car fixed, or thousands of other things.
Are you really that shallow? Yes, I can se you are.
Cain spent six years in the United States Department of Navy, which provides operational and organizational support for both the Navy and Marines.
I did not serve in the military. I chose instead to own and operate a successful business whose taxes helped pay the paychecks of those who did. If you don't recognize that as a valued contribution you're even dumber than your posts suggest.
Bachmann on Greta’s show
Cain tried to enlist, but the Navy Department said no, they needed him where he was.
Get a clue.
If they were forced to stay in their own damn country like most people around the world are, instead of having an easy escape into our nation by breaking our laws, then maybe they would fix their own nations problems instead of causing them in ours. They can make the sacrifices the people of every nation have had to make when solving their problems. I’m not going to sacrifice my country for their sake. Fight the corruption and gangs in anyway you can on your soil. Mexico might look a lot better today if it’s people were forced to stay there and solve the problems they faced years ago instead of given the option of just leaving. Our legal immigration policy needs to be fixed as well. I couldn’t care less if we banned all Mexican nationals from working here legally, or even visiting for that matter, considering what they are doing to our country. If we actually need workers, instead of businesses just wanting them so they don’t have to pay Americans higher wages, there are plenty of other countries we could find people wanting to work here.
I don’t want a bunch of illegals here who talk about how proud they are of their piece of crap country. It’s so great they can’t even live in it! I read today in an article attacking Cain’s tough stance on illegal immigration that said almost everyone in Mexico has at least one family member here. Then their press, and corrupt government that should be our enemy considering their hostile policies toward us, called Herman Cain and his supporters like me barbaric radical extremist, and mentioned Germany of course to bring up images of the brutal soviet communist and Nazi’s they compare us to.
They are pretending they are worried about the safety of the illegals here being in danger because we want to enforce our laws. I want a President who will tell Mexico to go F themselves, then let them know the statistics on how many U.S. citizens have been killed by illegal immigrants compared to illegal immigrants killed by those of us who oppose illegal immigration. We should close off the border and use drone strikes, or whatever force is needed, to keep the Mexican military from making incursions into our nation like they have in the past, and to stop any hostilities from the drug gangs. We should cross over the border when needed to target an enemy without taking the Mexican government into account because we don’t need their permission to do what they have encouraged their citizens to do for years in the U.S., not to mention it’s almost like Pakistan in that drug gangs control many places instead of the government, and Mexico can’t do a damn thing to stop us from doing whatever we want in that cesspool. What are they going to do? Get some of their troops massacred trying to fight us. If they tried opposing us on orders from the government we could send something to their capital letting them know to stay away.
I’m just sickened by the way they treat us, and the way we let them treat us. Lets take over a little of their terrorirory and drive every civilian out and give incentives for Americans to move in and clean it up it for our next state. Of course we will never doing anything like that but it’s literally something they deserve for what they have done. Or we could just take their oil for payment for the cost of illegals, and the help the government gave them to invade which we have proof of and is something that would justify war, and wouldn’t be tolerated from any other nation, but we did nothing whatsoever because we are slaves to Mexico for some unknown reason. We get called Nazi’s just by mentioning enforcing our laws with a wall along the border, so what are they going to do next if we really did take something for payment by force, or just let them have the chance to surrender it first. We wouldn’t be wrong doing that against a corrupt nation hurting us intentionally, and in no way is it similar to the evil of the Nazi’s or Soviets.
I already explained that in an earlier post. Go back and read it.
That about sums it up for me. LOL!
I’m jealous. *sigh*
CNN doing a really ridiculous post debate analogy on 999. Has newscasters showing spinners in some sort of “gameshow.” David Gergen just needs to stop the spittle.
Donna Brazile — OMG — can’t even stand seeing her on butchering the ideas of 999. She’s pathetic.

Romney knew and turned a blind eye until he got busted.
Reaganaut will be gone for a few weeks...
Since it seems you are able to follow her movements, please give her a lovin HUG from the Flying Inmen...
We miss her already...
:)
They don’t like it at all, but instead of actually countering the sources, they resort to stupid ad hominum attacks.
I’m wondering if that particular poster is LDS.
Thank you Mr Thompson!
Taking out the trash is a thankless job, but so necessary.
One thing that people haven’t noticed is the number of incumbents in Southern states who have endorsed Perry. Something like 140 officholders in GA just endosrsed him in about a week ago. Don’t underestimate the value that will have in putting together on the ground campaigns in as you say, the states Republicans win in November.
yes and with the loss of the double corporate taxation prices on goods and services will go down!
Also everyone will have skin in the game
Why not just keep the river where it is, and fill it with gators, piranhas, and hippopotami? :-P
Romney /Cain .....just a guess
( Not responsible for bad news)
“I don’t know what debate you’re watching - Romney has been terrible tonight. Perry has been doing great”
I’m watching the same debate as you are, and as are millions of other Americans tonite. And I will be proven by the polls and commentary after the debate to be right, and you, unfortunately, will be proven wrong. No one will say Perry did great, no one. Period. And no one will say that Romney did terrible tonite. No one. Period. Yours,
