Republican 2012 presidential candidates Republican 2012 presidential candidates Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich met in a Lincoln-Douglas style debate on current economic and social issues facing the U.S.

Newt - we’re teaching people to fail and give up the American dream.

Cain - no indefinite benefits.

[Windflier]

Except Cain has never really been a “leader” in that sense either. He’s been a corporate manager, and a spokesperson, and a talk show host. And several other cool jobs that also didn’t involve leading.

If you think that being the CEO of a nationwide corporation has nothing to do with leadership, then you've just forfeited any credibility you might have had as a commenter on this thread.

[Jemian]

I appreciate this thread. I can keep up with the debate and watch the game.

geAUx Tigers! War Eagle!

[onyx]

YES! Winning ticket!

[eyedigress]

Don’t worry

[Sprite518]

That’s rather “Heartless” of you Perry supporters. LOL!

[rightwingintelligentsia]

It would be like Einstein debating a second grader.

[ohioWfan]

Wow. You're on a mission, aren't you?

Are you aware that the rest of us are watching a debate?

[CharlesWayneCT]

There are some topics that aren’t supposed to be on the agenda tonight.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

The really smart ones are streaming the debate while freeping and watching the big game on the TV.

Yes, we can do it all. :)

[caww]

I am looking for a free flow of ideas, information and opinions.

Me too...and we're getting that in this great dialog!

[South40]

They do make a great team. I would love to see a Cain/Gingrich or Gingrich/Cain ticket.

Either one would guarantee Barry to be a one-termer. :-)

[justsaynomore]

Gingrich just confirms what Cain said (in a lot more words) 10th amendment. Power back to the states.

[Sprite518]

Tell Perry it’s safe to come out of the Bunker tonight. The debate has started. LOL!

[eyedigress]

Your acumen of SEC battle cry’s demands you leave this thread. Thank You

[goodnesswins]

Anyone know how long this was going to last?

[Windflier]

This isn’t a huge debate in the sense of making any difference. Nobody is watching this thing. The biggest game of the season is on tonight, which is what’s on my TV.

So go back to your game, Perrywinkle.

[TheShaz]

I like Newt. Cain is still my #1 pick. But in the previous debates and tonite he has been very good.

I just have one problem with Newt, and I would like him to address it. That damn Global Warming commecial. Its burned into my brain. But that aside, both these guys are great.

[onyx]

I’d like to see Newt debate Plugs Biden.

"Hay....Can I call you Joe?"

WHACK!

[bgill]

Yes, power to the states!
