That's for sure. Either one of these men in the same format as this one would SLAUGHTER the Marxist pretender.

Of course, he'd never let himself get caught without his leftist media enabler and slobberer, so it will never happen.

CNN is having a hissy fit!!!!

bashing Cain beyond belief....nothing about the debate, all about what happened AFTER the debate when the media wanted to talk about the story that has a source that doesn’t want to talk...

Well, you’ll get a lot of laughs then because he’s used the crouton line on every Perry thread for the last two weeks.

I think Cain has what it takes to be a decisive leader. As long as he picks the right people to be around him, I think he will do fine.

One final comment on Gingrich. Yes, he has personal baggage. I think he should address some of that, such as the pix with Pelosi and glo-bull warming and focus on convincing us why we should trust a Contract with America 2011.

Yes, he has had three spouses. So has Rush Limbaugh. So have a lot of other people. If we are going to eat him alive for past decisions and indiscretions in his personal life, we are in danger of shooting ourselves in the foot. That goes for all the candidates. Poor policy decisions are one thing, and it’s prudent to consider the entire candidate, their backgrounds etc. But we need to be careful about dimissing a candidate based solely on their personal backgrounds.

The objective is removing Barack Hussein Obama from office. This will be no easy task. Let us not in our zeal be our own worse enemies.

There is a lot of banter about Cain/Gingrich or Gingrich/Cain.

Stage one is that the voting can not be split to give a RINO a chance to win because of a split conservative vote in any primary, period.

Stage two is who would be the best to debate Obama, especially when he will invoke race no matter who the nominee is. Who is best suited to take it on face to face, or by his very presence, to neuter the entire argument?

The best thing to happen for our society for everyone is to have an honest broker with the bully pulpit to bring the race issue front and center without the media filter skewing any debate. Herman Cain is a terrific role model to turn this whole sorry episode around.

Just ignore them. They (Lib Dems and Rinos) only aim to discourage and dis-embolden us, the Base. I just turn them off. Screw em. Onward and upward, fix bayonets. (CNN/AP, et al can shove it)

PS IT WAS GREAT!!!!

Well, since you bring it up, what happened to Cain’s great business career and why did he have to end up as a minor talk show host?

I don't know. Go read his bio, if you want to know.

For fun google Rick Perry and “The Crotch”. A little something from his Democrat days.

You don’t seriously think that Perry will pick up any black votes being an obvious racist with his hunting club sign?

Sheesh what a maroon.

how long will you be singing the praises of a single digit impersonator.


As long as he keeps delivering what you claim you want?

Actually, those here are commenting in a thread. I assume they are also watching the debate (well, not now that it’s over). Most people can do two or three things at once. Some were able to watch the debate and still make snarky personal attacks on a candidate who wasn’t invited to this debate, and I figure if they can do those two things, they could also read a response from me while watching.

Hopefully, my extra words in the thread didn’t distract you too much.

Well I claim and shout from the mountain tops that I want Perry to immolate himself.

Neither did they talk about public employee benefits and how those are sucking the country dry. Of course unions never entered the conversation either.
