“PS: Tim Pawlenty called and said he’s available .. again.”
Did Perry already serve his purpose by keeping all of the other ex-governors out of the race, e.g. Pawlenty, Palin?

Now if only he would go to the border and stand in the way of the Mexican truckers that are about to be the first to ‘legally’ pass thru the border and travel all over the country. Your Gubamint making the ‘illegal’ legal.
I really want the bullet train graphic from the site - it is sleek! :-)
He very much has that JR Ewing / East Texas (and Saigon) Slickey Boy look, as opposed to the Bobby Ewing / George W Bush look and demeanor look
See, even Vader can be redeemed. :)
No, the income tax of 1914 for calendar year 1913, before withholding started in 1942, was 1 to 6 percent on incomes of $3,000 annually and up. I forgot the threshold limit, maybe $10,000, then a huge amount.
Words marked.
100 percent!
19% flat tax is too high and it can be raised just like any other tax.
The reasoning behind this percentage is that it will then be revenue neutral, of course, until spending is increased, then it will be come a 25% tax then a 30% tax and on and on and on.
The one Perry is going to propose will be at 19%, that is what the so called supply siders are saying. I do not expect the liberals in congress to accept 19%, it will be at least 25% from the beginning. And it will do nothing to collect taxes from the 40% that pay none.
Need smaller government not a bigger one.
That is why I am voting for Jon Huntsman. I don’t agree 100% on every issue, but philosophically he is the only candidate with a consistent record of cutting taxes, creating high paying jobs, fighting for the Bill of Rights, advocating gun rights, defending an unborn child’s right to life, and standing up for America’s interests abroad.
Cain hasn’t actually done anything that affected the political realm besides be a lackey for the Fed, And Mitt Romney has more liberalism in his left finger than Jon has in his whole body. But then again I’ll always favor a candidate who is intelligent and well-spoken and who will stick to their values even if it means losing. Hopefully Jon will start to get some traction so a lot of people can vote in this year’s elections with a clear conscience,
I think Romney would make a good VP for Cain! :-)
> Is Cain pro-life?
Yes, fervently so.
“I’m not. His 9-9-9 plan has already morphed into a bureaucratic, big government nightmare with a “spread the jobs around” component.
The flat tax is preferable but Perry is not.
So, I am back to having no real candidate again.”
Ditto.
“That is why I am voting for Jon Huntsman.”
So essentially you are voting “present” and you’ve chosen to leave the decision up to those who vote for Cain, Romney, or Perry.
Here’s the debate schedule for those of us with short-term memory loss;)
Might be worth including in ‘Pings’ for those of us with short-term memory loss;) LOL!

Or as not allowing the media or public opinion to decide my vote. If only a fraction of everyone who dismissed Huntsman as unelectable did their part to make it happen, he would be up to 20% by now. I am very disappointed with the way his campaign has been run, but it is gradually improving and I’m giving up yet !!!
AmeriCain!!!!!
Well I understand that, but at some point it becomes a matter of comprehending the reality of the situation. Huntsman has no support among the Republican (or the Conservative) electorate. He is more popular among liberal journalists and people that will never vote in a Republican primary than anyone else.
But I guess I should encourage you to vote for Huntsman because it sounds from your logic that if you did not vote for Huntsman you would vote for Romney. At least if you vote for Huntsman, your vote will have no effect on the Republican primary whatsoever!
So on second thought, please, go and vote for Huntsman! More power to you!
He may not be popular around Conservatives, but it is for no substantive reason that I’ve ever been able to discern. And who do they like anyway ? In lieu of a a consensus for any of the other candidates, I’m going with who excites me - the best ideas, best record, best experience and best chance to beat Obama.
Certainly no one in the media is any more an expert in picking a candidate. That’s an antidemocratic idea. Make an assessment after looking into positions they take on
issues and the leadership qualities and experience they would bring to office. Some random newscaster with an agenda are equally at liberty to like whomever they personally like. The kinds of issues and problems and judgment that are involved in choosing a candidate are not something even a celebrity reporter can monopolize the knowledge of.
I won’t vote for Romney under any circumstance.
