      It was an interesting debate. Romney fell on his face and as far as I’m concerned, dead in the water as a legitimate Republican candidate. Maybe he should move to the party he represents. Progressive.

      I was torn between Ron Paul and Herman Cain. They both have the right answers, although I think that Gingrich is far and away the most intelligent across the board candidate on the stage. God knows I love Michele Bachmann but there’s just something missing. Can’t put my finger on it. Her ideals are rock solid, but I‘m not convinced that she believes what she’s saying. No conviction. I’m afraid that Obama would humiliate her in head to head debates. Cain, Paul would hold their own and win as much as they would lose debating Obama. If they can keep the debate on economy, they shut Obama down cold. Gingrich would run Obama right out of the Country debating any topic, including Constitutional Law. My problem with Gingrich is that he’s not turning hard enough back to the Constitution.

      Cain
      Paul

      Gingrich
      Bachman

      Perry

      Romney’s not a Republican.

      I think keeping the focus on Obama defeats the purpose of the Republican only debate. If you’re campaigning to get the nomination to run against Obama, then you’re obviously against him. We need to hear the campaigners discuss issues with one another, what makes them different from one another, not what makes them the same (i.e. being focused as against Obama.) Just my take.

      TWO candidates saw it as a matter of PAYING NV ENOUGH MONEY and only Ron Paul said IT WAS A CONSTITUTIONAL STATES RIGHT ISSUE!

      Michele lost when she voted for the Patriot Act Extension. Disqualified as unconstitutional.

      Herman lost because he worked for the Fed and says it shouldn’t be audited, his 9-9-9 plan is a GIMMICK that won’t work when the Federal Reserve keeps inflating the currency.

      Rick Perry is a Bilderberger Globalist stooge who supported the Trans Texas Corridor, supports a North American Union, supports instate tuition for illegals, etc.

      Rick Santorum is a foreign policy mess. He is a neocon warmonger.

      Romneycare is Obamacare. Disqualified.

      John Huntsman is a provocatuer caught red handed helping foment dissent at a Jasmine Revolution rally in China…and has his own issues with being CIA lackey… even though he is articulate and charismatic, etc.

      Newt Gingrich always knows the right talking points to hit, and he does it well with orthodox wit, but that type of finesse doesn’t neccessarily come from sincerity, it comes from him being around WAY TOO LONG on the establishment republican plantation. He’s good at it. He’s gotten good at blowing smoke up rear ends.

      I would say that of all the candidates on the stage, Ron Paul would choose either Michele Bachmann or Newt Gingrich as his VP. That‘s not to say he wouldn’t choose someone wholly unexpected that isn’t even on the stage. I would prefer that he chose Michele Bachmann over Gingrich, because I agree with 99.9% of her stances. That Patriot Act thing though really irks me. It’s unpatriotic.

      I agree with your point on Newt, but I don’t think any of the candidates pass the purity test on constitutionalism. (I know I’m inviting the RP supporters with that comment…but I’m not discussing my opinions of RP in this comment). I also don’t pretend to believe that any of them are going to pass any purity test. I do think Gingrich has it in him to do what he did as Speaker. I think he has the capability of changing the trajectory of this Country to a positive one.

And yet, you will vote for the same people again and again expecting different results. You are insane.

      The truth is only one man is running that has and will obey the US constitution. And ONLY obedience to the Constitution will restore freedom and property rights and ultimately prosperity.

      Ron Paul is clearly the only individual up there that actually has a solid track record. He speaks from the heart with wisdom and intellect that is sadly missing from our political discourse. I know you don’t like him because he would make Israel stand on their own two feet. Again, as I have mentioned here, the single largest recipient of financial aid from the United States (pre-Iraq) is Israel with 6 BILLION dollars a year. We pay for their military and we pay for the aggression and hatred with which they treat any non-jew. You morons say they are our biggest ally, they are not an ally if we have to pay them to be so. Alliances indicate equality, and when we are giving the Israelis 6 billion a year (that we have to borrow in order to give) we do nothing but weaken ourselves. Let Israel apply to china for their own damned loans rather than us doing it for them.

      Gingrich, Paul, Bachmann, Cain? Gingrich would slay obama in debates. If Paul would announce he’d pick John Bolton or Marco Rubio as VP, and offer all the others cabinet positions, he’d win the GOP/RNC nomination. I like Bachmann’s & Cain’s determination. I think we need them all to join in each of their best capacities to turn this huge Federal monster around and root out all the corruption….just follow the money. Maybe they should each face a job interviewer while hooked up to a lie detector and a body movement expert watching. They would have to answer all questions back to childhood and give examples of critical thinking and experiences all on camera.

      http://www.moneynews.com/StreetTalk/Laffer-Cain-tax-plan/2011/10/19/id/414998?s=al&promo_code=D49D-1

      Economist and former Reagan adviser Arthur Laffer says Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 tax plan is a good one.

      “(The) plan was designed to be what economists call ‘static revenue neutral,’ which means that if people didn’t change what they do under his plan, total tax revenues would be the same as they are under our current tax code,” Laffer writes in The Wall Street Journal, adding that he believes that with the boost Cain’s plan would give to economic growth it would bring in even more revenue than expected.

      “Once the dynamics take hold, many of those below the poverty line will find good jobs and thus will rise above the poverty line and start paying taxes,” says Laffer.

      I actually don’t disagree with Paul on many of things he says. Though I think he is like 50 years too early or 100 years too late in his arguments. Even if he’s right about what we SHOULD be doing, we are not ready as a country to face the consequences of removing 950 military bases in foreign countries or thumbing our noses at countries like Israel or pointing a gun at the Federal Reserve at suggesting they leave our country if they know what’s good for them. That all sounds so very nice to the OWS people. But won’t solve any problems and will create a boat load more.

      So Paul is out in my book. Cain is a refreshing candidate who has the gumption to be a good president or vice president. However, at such a vulnerable time in our world, it does scare me to have someone in the oval office who has no experience on the foreign fields.

      My vote, at this point, is going to Newt. I have read his 21 Century Contract thoroughly and agree completely. I think he has the personality and experience and the plan to handle this country at this time. He certainly would wipe the floor with Obama in a debate.

      Newt has a lot of personal and political baggage and that is going to be a big detriment in a presidential campaign. Note that I‘m not saying he wouldn’t be a good president. Unfortunately for me, my favorite candidate was once again excluded from the debate: Gary Johnson.

      Gary will remain my top pick because he’s the only one with a proven record of fiscally conservative EXECUTIVE leadership. I don’t know how any conservative who looks at his record can keep from loving this guy. I think he’s EXACTLY what we need at this point: someone who will come in and do his absolute best at limiting government and balancing the budget. And at this point in my life I put much MUCH more weight on what the candidates have actually done than anything they say.

      My 2nd picks are still: Ron Paul (his foreign policy idea scare me though), Herman Cain (his lack of foreign policy experience scares me) and Newt (his baggage worries me…. but if he doesn’t get the nomination I hope whoever does is smart enough to pick him as a running mate).

      I love Michelle but the MSM would crucify her (to them the only thing worse than a nonbeliever is a heretic) and I don‘t think she’d do well in debates with Obama.

      That was an awesome message by Ron Paul. But I think most conservatives love what the man says on limiting government and limiting spending. It’s his foreign policy ideas that make us uncomfortable. One legitimate role of the US government is to protect us and that does, to some degree, mean that we need to take an active role in helping the world become more democratic, more capitilistic and more stable.

      This forum is a poor format so I’m actually commenting on your entire post.

      The Patriot Act is a Liberty stealing worthless Law. Anyone who supports it can’t have their head attached. (shakes head at my brother Allen West). Perry is definitely left of center, while Romney is center leftist. Newt is a smart guy on a lot of topics, and he can change the conversation on a dime and be fluent. I trust him to do what he says he will do, but don’t think his ideals turn toward the Constitution hard enough.

      Cain did defend the FED, but I remember another Patriot who after having allowed the Central Bank 20 year charter to expire, eventually agreed (1814 after seeing the impossibility of the war of 1812 to finance) allowed the legislation to re-establish it. But only after Hamilton (who Madison viewed as anti Constitutional constructionist and active in usurping the rights of the people). I can’t use the lack of will to audit the FED control the extent of my view on the politics of the candidate, because a central bank is essential if a Nation is forced into war. They should be audited however by those who give it power.

      I like both Cain, and Paul. The rest are washouts.

      There’s no one in this field of Republicans that is a true social conservative.

      If I were to select the lesser of all the evils presented, I’d have to go with Gingrich. He’s the smartest one running, and, as Sarah Palin said, he would trounce Obama in a debate. I like Herman Cain as a person, but he’s not fast enough on his feet to go up against an experienced debater.

      My choice, however, of ALL Republicans is Pat Buchanan. He’s the only one who would return this country to a mostly white, Christian nation, and he’s even smarter than Newt. It’s a shame he botched his chance to make a difference when he listened to the Karl Rove types and selected a running mate strictly on the basis of color. With Ron Paul or a Ron Paul look-a-like as VP, he had an excellent chance of winning.

      The best case scenario of this election is someone who will take us on a slower road to Hell. The US empire is slowly sinking in the West.

      Make no mistake, the left will rally behind Obama, the democrats will mostly solidify behind him. The senate will go Republican and the house will remain Republican but with Obama in office, he’ll veto every repeal and law that comes from congress, including repeals. No matter who the GOP candidate is they’ve made it clear, Obamacare and Dodd/Frank will be repealed as first order of business. Trust me when I say that Dodd/Frank is hurting lending, business and jobs as is Obamacare. Once they’re repealed..watch the country start to move again..hiring, growing, investing. Please….this coming election is one of the most important in this nation’s history…don’t let ideological purism keep you home or begrudge a candidate enough not to vote. Just get Obama out and we can clean up any RINO’s later just like we have started to do in the house.

      What do you think the consequences would be for removing our bases from other countries?

      “… or thumbing our noses at countries like Israel …”

      Not giving something to someone to whom it doesn’t belong is NOT thumbing our noses at them.

      “… or pointing a gun at the Federal Reserve at suggesting they leave our country if they know what’s good for them.”

      It has never been Constitutional for the United States to take an active role in helping the world become more democratic, more capitalistic, or more stable.

      As for spreading democracy, we are NOT a democracy. Our Founders SPECIFICALLY denounced democracy. We are a constitutional republic.

      “The error which limits republican government to a narrow district has been unfolded and refuted in preceding papers. I remark here only that it seems to owe its rise and prevalence chiefly to the confounding of a republic with a democracy, applying to the former reasonings drawn from the nature of the latter. …

      “… Under the confusion of names, it has been an easy task to transfer to a republic observations applicable to a democracy only; and among others, the observation that it can never be established but among a small number of people, living within a small compass of territory.”

      Bachman‘s attack on Cain’s 999 plan was underhanded. As a Congresswoman she knows ONLY Federal taxes are contolled by Washington. Nobody’s plan including current laws can alter State taxes. Secondly, she also knows Cain has built in a 2/3 Majority vote needed to raise the rate above 9%. She worries me talking off her cuff like this.Like her claim that the HPV virus caused someone’s daughter to be mentally retarded, sadly, she is not honest.

      The Republican Party doesn’t like their socialism, but likes our socialism. Why does the Republican Party believe that they can take money from tax payers and redistribute it to other nations (allies)? Answer: Because they are our allies? Yet gnash their teeth at redistribution with the word WELFARE attached to it.

      So Democrat socialism is bad, Republican socialism is good.

      My fellow Republicans really need to be consistent in their philosophy.

      Michelle Bachmann is a phony. She is self-serving, sickeningly ambitious, a user and then totally inept. She bragged two days ago about being int he Same Committee as Barney Frank and she “opposed” his efforts to ruin our economy (force the banks to make sub-prime loans) but she wasn’t smart enough to blow the whistle. She wasn’t able to stop him. She wasn’t able to go to other people and let them know that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were ripping off the American Taxpayer, the head of Fannie Mae (and Barney’s lover in Freddie Mac) were scoffing up Millions, under her powdered nose and she said nothing, did nothing but she did try to use it later to make herself seem important. She came out west in 2009 and attempted to go around from Tea Party gathering to Tea Party gathering to pretend she was somehow in charge of that organic operation…then she went back to DC and made a lot of TV-covered speeches and “brought the Tea Party into Congress”…except the TEA PARTY never wanted to be INSIDE, but she wanted to control it. And then, woman to woman/mother to mother, I would never describe ANY children I was lucky enough to raise as “MY FOSTER KIDS” – how thoughtless…especially when we heard that some of them were only in her home 3 days…I’m sure that she thought her looks could carry her through, but we see through her. WE do not need another self-ambitious politician. We need a Patriot. She’s not it.

    Herman Cain was very good tonight. Ron Paul has been superb for 30 years, consistently. That is what we need.

    The democrats made a terrible mistake voting for a black man *because* he is black. Republicans could make the same mistake for the same reason. Either way, it is racist voting.

    I refuse to be a racist, and that means voting for the best man, regardless of his color. Even if it matches my own.

    Cain would make a great treasury secretary under Paul. And we will all enjoy not paying taxes every year, too. Think of the prosperity when America keeps 20% of what it earns!

      Cain would be a huge mistake for treasury, he supported TARP, wasn’t sure which administration passed TARP(He blamed Obama for TARP, Bush passed TARP as part of his plan to “abandon the free market system to save it” non-sense.), he missed the housing bubble, and thinks Alan Greenspan was a good Fed Chairman. Cain said the economy was just a victim of bad press until Mid 2008. After the Housing collapse had happened. Cain is not the guy we need as president. Do your research on Cain, there is plenty out there that shows he is in over his head. Also, do your research on Paul, he saw all these problems coming and warned us, and a lot of people just laughed. Not laughing now.

      Paul isn’t “electable”? Well, not as long as you keep saying that. If you vote for people based on their “electability”, you end up with only a couple decent Presidents in 90 years. Just look at history. We got since Coolidge, based entirely on “electability” (a nice term for charisma and media attention, don’t you think), 4 years of Hoover destroying our economy, 12 years of FDR keeping it in the tank, Truman getting us involved in Korea, and finally Eisenhower – a decent President. Then, we got JFK, a big supporter of the welfare state and Vietnam, followed by LBJ, with his Great Society. Nixon started the EPA and used price and wage controls, as well as ended the gold standard so he could print more money for ballooning deficits. Ford wasn’t elected as President, so the argument doesn’t apply there either way. But then we got Carter, because he was superbly electable. And wrecked the economy. Then Reagan was the most electable, and actually helped some – although he couldn’t control deficits, either. Now we have two “electable” Presidents that actually did well – and it only took 52 years. Oh, but it got worse after Reagan, as HW, Clinton, W, and Obama have all successively worsened the protection of American liberty and the Constitution. All together, we have 19% of the time with good presidents since the Roaring Twenties. You still want “electable”?

      Yea Paul was so great over the last 30 yrs he has put his tail on the line for what he believes….. NOT.

      What has he truly done aside from barking away on the House floor and sponsoring this bill and that bill? Ive seen politicians as passionate as Paul get arrested for what they believe. Curious when did Paul organize a walkout, sit-in, govt shutdown with other like minded politicians about our debt, spending and the corruption in DC? When did Paul organize a Congressional delegation to physically go to the Feds main office and demand the books be open!? When did he organize a Congressional delegation to go to Ft. Knox demanding to see our nations gold supply? When, WHEN has he actually lifted a finger, broke the rules, protocol for what he believes in and taken physical action? NEVER
      Yea he is so great for this nation… phhhhhh! You RP followers are so critical of the other candidates who run their mouths etc but they are NO different than Paul. He just wears the Constitution on his sleeve to as his schtick! Attack me, flame me all you want but facts are facts Paul is all talk and in his 30yrs he never took it to the next level for everything he is so passionate about to get you to vote for him!

      @chfields62 We’re not a Global Communist Government and Police Force that dictates to other Nations what they can and can’t do within their own borders. Ron Paul said that if Israel feels threatened by Iran that they should go right ahead and take care of them. And that if they are in need of aid and ask for help that he would not decline. He actually respects Israel’s independence and sovereignty. He understands that our subsidies and meddling in the Middle East keeps Israel from making its own decisions. Israel knows what’s best for itself. I think we should trust Israel and stop thinking we know better than Israel. Ron Paul supported Israel when they bombed Iraq’s facilities, when many others didn’t. He wrote a constitutional Letter of Marque to go after Bin Laden and his minions. He co-sponsored a bill to go into Afganishtan to capture those responsible for terrorist attacks, like Al Qaeda. He urged Congress and the federal administration to go into Pakistan to get Bin Laden, when most other officials doubted he was even there. He is in favor of Pilots being armed and ready for defense, and that we should profile and investigate real suspects in an airport. He is in favor of stopping all foreign aid, and thus stop funding Israel’s enemies. Israel is one of the greatest powers in the Middle East right now. They know about a thing or two about fighting against several enemies all at once. Of course we got their backs.

      I recommend that people take a look at Paul’s Plan on his site. Whether you disagree or agree with the guy on some things, one thing is for certain, his Plan makes the most sense concerning huge spending cuts, ending welfare programs, not raising taxes, not creating new taxes, ending certain federal agencies and departments (Education, EPA, Energy, etc), slashing funds for other bureaucracies (FDA, etc), limiting the size of the federal workfoce, giving some things back to the States to take care of, and many other TEA Party advocated positions. One should look at his stance of cutting foreign subsidies wihtin context. He’s trying to save our economy and keep the US from going bankrupt. You can’t deny the effectiveness of the plan to help in those goals. Rush also said that Paul is the only candidate that has proposed such a plan, which we Conservatives have been demanding for years now. Definately something interesting to look at, no matter your candidate of choice.

      I’ve had my picks being Cain, Paul, Gingrich, Bachman in that order. I continue to have Cain as the head of my choice options right now, especially after taking a few hours over the past few days to drink the 9-9-9 plan. But the separation from Paul isn’t much. The other “would be” candidates, Romney and Perry aren’t conservatives at all. They might have affiliations to the GOP but they are definitely not Republican (as in 4th Amendment Art. IV) in philosophy.

      Cain and Paul to me represent holding up the Stars on the banner of the Union (perhaps Michele and Gingrich too). It’s odd, some people hold Pauls non interventionist foreign policy as a negative. I think that’s what makes him the strongest true Republican candidate.

    Cain just says what he is told to say. Always backtracks on everything. Had no clue on foreign policy and the 999 plan is flawed (need to repeal the 16th first). Romney is a big government Progressive Republican. Perry voted for J.Carter and backed Gore, not to mentioned a mandate to vaccinate all girls in his state. Bachmann supported the patriot act. Newt, Paul and Santorum are the only one that can beat Obama, and Paul is the most prepared.

      Im sure there are problems with 999,but the 16th has to be repealed by the states, not the president, and it is a little farfetched to suggest that it should be repealed first, then a new system created to replace our current one. That is the argument that will keep us where we are forever. Cain, while flawed, is the only candidate with the guts to suggest a fix for the tax code. Bravo for that, at least.

      I agree.

      Newt is obviously the SMARTEST, most informed, even tempered, and presidential candidate io the running. True, he has baggage (most notably the global warming thing) but think he would absolutely obliterate Obama on issues, hands down, EVERY time–I secretly would love to see him “educate” Professor Obama on the Constitution on a national stage.

      He DOES need to explain his views on Cap and Tax, though before I go all in.

      Not to disrespect anyone else on the stage but Newt is definitely the grown up in the room. Has not resorted to bickering or cat-fighting (Romney-Perry) like other candidates. Come on Perry, no need to rehash a topic that was “put to rest” during the last campaign. Romney, I don’t trust you. A leader should lead based on your convictions, not polls.

      Bachman: like her for a cabinet posiiton.

      I like Herman Cain as VP. Big fan–he is gutsy and a non-politician. On the other hand, he would be better if he had some degree of “education” in the ways of government/foreign policy. Ron Paul–also smart, but too extreme on foreign policy and wants to cut defense NOW? I can’t see putting him in office for 4 years much less 8.

      Here’s the problem that most are missing the president is the head of his party whether it is the Democratic or the Republican. So the blame does not totally lie with the president but of the bodies that make up our Congress that make up our laws. So in order to change this country we have to put people in Congress that back the Constitution, as we‘ve seen with the Democrats in the first part of the president’s term. So if you have a majority that believe in the Constitution that we put their that’s when we get the country back on solid ground. And when you have enough in the Senate and the House to change the debate terms then we the people win, as the house a representative writes the laws and the Senate at the amendments to the bills and the president vetoes it if he doesn‘t agree but if there is a majority in the House and Senate that can override his veto then it’s irrelevant. Now we have all these liberal media outlets conducting the debates and they’re laughing behind our backs, and there still is 12 more to go. I say answer the question each and every one and no going back to any other candidate to rebut it next question MoveOn, oh how the Republicans don‘t see how they’re being set up by the liberals fools. This just goes to show us where our conservative voice really is.

      Cain is a RINO, and not a very good business man, either. Why no one is vetting his Godfather days is pathetic so let me clue you in.
      Pillsbury bought Godfather’s Pizza in 1985 for nearly $400million. They put Cain in charge. By 1988, they were ready to sell. That’s all you really need to know. Had Cain been able to turn Godfather’s around and make it really profitable, Pillsbury would not have sold it.
      That’s the bottom line. And the fact that Cain won’t release the p&l from the years he was in charge of the pizza joint should also be a concern. We already have someone in the White House who is very protective of his past and keeps everything secret, do we really need someone who will do the same?

      Well, I don’t know about everyone else; but I voted once. Ron Paul and his people do a very good job at directing people to all the polls to vote. If you have him on your Facebook page, he gives you the links to all the polls. So, if the other candidates are not doing that, then their ‘fans’ may not know where to go to vote for their candidates. So, it may not be that the people are voting a trillion times at the same poll; but simply that the other candidates are not as successful in directing people to the polls. I don’t think Paul requires people to vote for him over and over again to win the polls. He actually has a huge following. It would really not serve any purpose for any of us to cheat on these polls.

    It’s hard to answer this because it depends on what you are looking at.

    Who seemed the most unflapable despite massive attacks? Romney. He held his ground well.

    Who came out the victor most when under attack? Cain. I think he suffered the fewest blows. Gingrich really landed one on Romney over Romneycare while his “critique” of Cain’s 999 was as much mixed with praise for its boldness.

    Who scored the best points? As always, Newt.

    So, take Newt out of the equation and it’s between Cain and Romney. Romney sounds better, but also more packaged. Cain sounds honest and real. I’m sticking with Cain.

      I am beginning to wonder whether Newt should be discounted. If he were the nominee I think he would be abl;e to formulate a powerful argument against Obama OUTSIDE the debates. INSIDE he will anihilate him. And I think, despite his foolish vetures into global warming, that he is fundamentaslly conservative in his political philosophy and with a Republican Congress he would be a very good President.

      So can he win the nomination? I thought it highly unlikely before because he, like Romney, is a known quantity with a natural ceiling for support among Republicans. But his rise in the polls, coupled with his intelectual dominance of the debates, makes me think maybe Primarry voters might give him a shot. I saw Palin came out and called him the winner in the debate last night.

      Things are still very fluid in the search for a viable alternative to the perfectly plastic “conservative” we are seeing in Mitt.

But made it seem like he must have misunderstood the question. I find it hard to believe that he misunderstood the question. He really doesn‘t have a foreign policy as he wants to wait until he’s president and has a chance to talk to everyone to find out what’s really going on. But we simply can‘t wait for someone like him to get a crash course on what’s been going on. We need someone that already knows and has a good foreign policy in mind.

And very importantly, both Cain and Newt have the greatest awareness of the threat of Islam, Sharia law, and mosque proliferation in this country (mosques are centers of Saudi-funded sedition). The others (except Santorum) are politically correct dhimmis on Islam, especially Romney and Paul. See http://muccings.blogspot.com/2011/10/presidential-candidates-position-on.html

      steveh931,
      Cain/Newt, even Newt/Cain.
      I really like Cain. And I believe this combo will best help the American people, poor and rich. I want to know more nuances about 999, but I’m going to listen and research it. I’m one of the lower income citizens that can get burnt if his 999 attackers are correct. But I would sacrifice whatever to help America ‘stay’ America, especially for my kids and grandkids. I think the most amount of Jobs will be created with these two leading the country. Hopeful result, work hard and make a halfway decent living. Newt, as the vice-president, certainly historically known as being around the block, will advise Cain on DC’s comings and goings, and the greed involved. Newt’s got baggage, but he seems a bit different to me.
      Cain I think first of all, is a good man. But also, he is smart, successful, and let’s face it, a black American. Cain may emotionally, logically, in some cases rightfully so, be more likely listened to by minorities. Only a black man, considering the history of the country, and before in Europe, I think, can attract the hearts and minds of minorities in general, and the fact that they don‘t ’need’ to depend on government. If there are jobs availabe, then all Americans can try to advance by ‘out-performing’. Hopefully there may finally be more ‘love’ in the country as well. We can only hope. Also, in a debate, Cain will “destroy” Obama. No race BS, just a battle of ‘ideas’ of mankind. Common Sense vs. Obama.

      @FREE2SPEAKRN,

      I agree, we have a year to examine this 999 plan. I do believe it has been proposed by a man, that if it’s proven to hurt the economy and put to much of a burden on low income citizens, that Mr. Cain would have no problem with re-assessing the entire plan. Mr. Cain seems to be a leader that listens to those that support him through their knowledge and labors, which in our case would be our elected Representatives. If all citizens nation wide pay close attention to those running for office in 2012 and elect those that best represent the people of each district in each state, along with Cain / Gingrich, I believe we might be able to get something done.

      Would love to see Newt / Cain ticket. I think that newt would make a great president and would love love love to see him debate obama like he said a lincoln/douglas with NO moderator! The moderators are the ones screwing up these debates by asking the same people over and over. I also would like to see them all get the same questions and go down the row and all answer the questions. This format is stupid and anderson gets to say when the time is up?? This is not a good way to “debate”. Who decided all these questions? I say let each candidate pick a question for them all to answer. These debates have to get better as time goes on.

      Herman Cain was part of the Federal Reserve….the entity responsible for all of our economic woes. Cain has said that he doesn’t think the Federal Reserve needs to be audited. When there was finally a partial audit, thanks to people like Ron Paul, they found that trillions went to bail out foreign banks. So, do we really want a guy who had no idea what was going on at the Federal Reserve and had no idea that there would be an economic crisis today? He thought everything was just find and dandy in 2008.

      This election is going to be more of the same. I am beginning to believe that most Americans, even though they say they are Tea Party Conservatives, are just stuck in believing the MSM knows best on who should be President. Oh, Cain, he’s not a politician, he’s just like us, he just shouts 9-9-9 and everyone say’s yeah! Well, take a look at this video, it is long but worth watching.

      http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5355374476580235299#

      Income taxes are illegal. There is no law that requires any individual to pay income taxes. You are brainwashed into thinking it is your responsibility to pay. The IRS code says it is a voluntary tax. If Cain is elected and gets his 9-9-9 plan implemented the way he wants, it will finally make income taxes legal and will benefit the FED! We will then be in a position to lose all liberties to a point we cannot get them back. End the FED and we end the I.R.S. Get back to the Constitution and we will all start having a better life. Freedom is what we should be fighting for.

      RP is the only honest candidate and the one with the guts to do it.

    Ron Paul has been in Congress for 30 years, he will not back down on his positions. I like that. You may not like his positions which are Libertarian positions. As a libertarian I believe the Federal Govt. should provide for a system of roads and a military …The End. Now the States ( all 57? of them, j/k) can enact whatever they want to according to the Constitution. That means if I get tired of what Texas enacts I could move to a state that is more to my liking. End Of Story, no fixing a broke system.

      “Bailouts are a win-win”

      Part of his resume you won’t hear Cain brag about is that he served as Chairman of the Board of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. He does talk a good game in the debates though.

      Truth is that Gingrich is articulating Dr. Pauls ideas much better than he is.. So I‘d probably have to give it to Newt but I don’t really trust him.

      Uhhh, the fact he served on the Fed board in KC is on his website…not sure he is running from it. I love Ron Paul, but I hate his supporters. Ron Paul is not a clean as the wind driven snow like you all believe. I agree the Fed is an issue…but it’s not the only one. If you like Paul, great…so do I, on a lot of things…but the constant Fed this Fed that gets old. I’m done with career politicians…even one’s like Paul the earmarker.
