Plus, the CPA’s of this country would be out of a job.”””
A company still has to do their own bookkeeping & financials. CPA’s will still be employed.
Cain got another applause on the Occupy Wall Street Question!
Bachmann’s a mom? Whodathunkit?
Gee Whiz, Bachmann acts like she’s going to sh*^t her pants over the “moms” and their housing ...
Unfortunately, the majority of people sneaking into the US from Mexico are running away from something - either they are poor and unemployed or they have other issues. We need to instead foster lawful immigration where the immigrants can add real value to the US economy. This is the 21st Century and the game has changed.
The protesters “should be in front of the White House protesting”
Good...great...answer!!
And Paul is whining again....blech
Grand slam for Herman Cain! The Occupy Wall Street crowd needs to camp out in front of the White House!
Cain slammed Obama.
Good response by Cain.
Really? Fences work? San Diego proved that? Just what is the length of their border??
Texas has 60% of the mexican border.
Perry must have seen the 2008 debates. Romney and Guiliani went at it tooth and nail on immigration. Romney said Rudy had a sanctuary city. Rudy said Romney had a sanctuary mansion as well as sanctuary cities in Massachusetts.
Love it! He speaks the truth.
I love that Cain absolutely says he stands by what he said! And another thing...why do we not bang on Paul that every answer is the Fed, and yet Cain eats it for 9-9-9 every time he says it? Shall we keep it somewhat consistent.
Woohoo Cain! Quit blaming Wall St, go in front of the white house!!!
Stand up Cain!!!
Paul is wrong—the Republicans weren’t in charge of Congress in 2008.
The MSM wants to move away from blaming socialism, wants to focus on wall street. Paul helping the MSM on this one.
Everybody likes the Israeli fence. So do I. It would work perfectly from Chula Vista to El Paso.
But the Israelis didn't build a fence on the River Jordan between the West Bank and Jordan. For a very good reason: you don't fence off a river in a semi-arid landscape. People, livestock and wildlife need access to what might be the only watersource for fifty miles.
Moreover, a fence limits access from your side...and yields effective control of the river to the other side.
It's not that hard to understand.
On the other hand, a series of armed outposts aren't hard to understand, either.
OK, we all heard it. Ron Paul sides with the Occupy scumbags
I think she thinks she is the re-incarnation of the actors on The Love Boat......
