SO Now Cain claims that his plan on border security is IDENTICAL to Perrys plan.
Cain just hit the fence question straight out of the ball park ... nothing left but a vapor trail.
I’m honored to read a response from you re my little post.
I’m a realist. The only one on that stage who has a chance of beating Obama, in my humble opinion, is Romney. I want Obama gone - period. This country is suffering, big time. Romney and Cain are the only ones who have any semblance of real world business experience. I like Newt, but he would be better utilized in a cabinet or advisory capacity. I like Santorum too as I think he is sincere, but has no chance in a general election.
Perry came off looking like a dufus in that exchange with Mitt.
He’s that creepy used car salesman that sold your grandma that orange Gremlin in 1974.
yes!
mitt’s crapping all over.
Sounds like Romney’s Mormon base is very much present in tonight’s debate. I wish they could see past their religious affiliation and see Romney as he is.
That's just catty.
Ok, Romney has lied here. He DID have illegals on his property, working, after saying, "I have never..."
Was that a classic Romney flip or what? Not even a minute between denial and admission.
Romney just landed a solid punch
No he didn’t. Romney is lying. This was settled last time Romney ran
I missed the first few minutes so I don’t have a perspective on Cain yet, but of all, I think Newt will knock Obama out of the park in future debates. Makes me love him!!

He would serve Ovomit up on a greasy pork sammich on top of a dirty ashtray indeed ~
this is totally all about CNN trying to take down Cain. Its so obvious. Smarmy homo Anderson doesn’t even look his way, except to ask some smug question.
Good god...Cain just answered immigration straight from Rick Perry’s webpage...
It seems the key to taking Romney down is to push his buttons. Sooner or later he will B-L-O-W!!!!!
Perry needs to take a deep breath and stay on message. I want him to do well, but bickering with Romney on the past is not helping him. IMHO....
I cannot stand him.
Herman Cain is looking more Presidential by the minute.
Romney and Perry are acting like teenage girls.
Perry is doing great on the Border!!!!!
