Cain gives talking points.

but my recollection of it is taken from my very good American history education I rec’d. I’ve yet to reach my 60th year but ‘way back when’ kids were actually taught historical fact. Glad you got a laugh to start your day.

It’s my understanding that under 999 we’ll only be taxed on ‘new’ goods, not used. For example, if I buy a used car, I pay no tax but if I buy a new car I do? What about ‘new’ stuff like groceries, medicine, utlility bills, insurance premiums? If we only pay taxes on ‘new’ things, how will that create jobs? Nobody will want to buy or build a new house; most middle class folks will be shopping for used cars, not new. Help me out here. I see this as a huge job killer and it’ll do nothing for housing starts, auto and vehicle manufacturers, etc. Heck, we’re already in a spot in this country where folks are buying used clothes, used cars. 999, at least from this perspective (which I admit I may not have it clear) is just more of the same–America in decline.

actually shrinks the federal government and lets the states choose whether the portion of tax that funded the grant is needed or not.

O’Reilly, the biggest bloviating journolister on television today will never see the light. Fair and balanced slogan is a joke! Faux News is no different than MSNBC. O’reilly is an Obama-bot., He would try to help close gap for Romney, but stab him in the back in favor of Obama in election. Just flipping channels and coming across Morris and O’Reilly gives me the creeps.

asdfgh

are the various standing ovations they got for basically parroting Governor Perry’s proposals. I hope the folks were just being polite!

Had you bothered to research more than just the last year, you would know that Rick Perry has been pushing these ideas for a lot longer than just 2011.

Voter I.D. laws have been proposed for a long time. Rick Perry didn’t come up with the idea, but he supported it strongly. And funny that most of the states you listed that passed Voter I.D. laws now have Republican governors, and Perry is the head of the Republican Governor’s Association.

Funny how that works, isn’t it?

And golly gee, some parts of Canada has “loser pays” laws. So what? Loser pay laws were enacted in Texas to back up tort reform.

Oh, and one other thing; Newt Gingrich did not write Fed Up with Rick Perry. Newt only wrote the introduction. Seems you might want to read something before you feel qualified to talk about it.

its people that are sick of Cain parroting other ideas and then audiences cheering and fawning over him as if he’s the most original thinker and most conservative guy on the stage. WHO CARES are the people that want original thinkers and people with real-time, hands on experience during this Recession. WHO CARES are people that want representatives that can innovate, not copy cats that haven’t lifted a finger in the business realm for 15 years and can only bumble their way through established talking points.

Ron Paul just won your Illinois straw poll with Mitt close behind, but WHO CARES.

WTF? All of Perry’s ideas have been borrowed from the other campaigns from the start. Energy program? Drill baby drill! End the EPA regulations? Tax plan Borrowed from Newt and Steve Forbes.

if you think dodging reporters is more stressful than dealing with 6,000 people who are homeless because their homes are nothing but a bunch of ashes.

Can you even wrap your brain around 40,000 acres of burned, scortched land that has nothing but sticks left that used to be beautiful pine trees and live oaks? Can you imagine what it is like to watch a fire move so quickly that people only had 15 minutes to leave behind everything they owned? Can you imagine trying to deal with a fire so hot that even the fireplace chimney’s fell? Can you? Can you begin to comprehend what it is like for a governor to have to deal with that? And you have the gall, the unmitigated gall, to compare a bunch of reporters to such a disaster? How dare you. HOW DARE YOU.

You ignorant twit. When Memphis flooded, you could see the water rising. It didn’t wipe out 40,000 acres in just two days. So don’t whine to me about some damn water that happened to flood Tennessee. Did those people have time to leave their homes taking their possessions with them? Yes, they did. And if they didn’t, you can blame your state authorities for that.

You are just an apologist for Herman Cain. I suspect he could axe murder his mother, and you would find a reason to justify his actions.

it’s no wonder he can do no wrong. Low expectatitions and all that.

It’s funny, probably one of the best comments I’ve read that describes why Cainiacs love Herb so was written at Hot Air. Paraphrasing, because Cain is not a professional politician, we expect him to make mistakes as he goes along as this is all new to him. His mistakes inspire us and shows us that he is just like us. But Perry on the otherhand, since he is a governor and has had so much more experience should be held to a much higher standard. His mistakes should be judged and considered as much more egregious and damning.

As a Perry supporter, I know he’s made mistakes. He made them, he has to correct them. That’s as it should be. But I think the devotion to all that is Cain kind of gets in the way of objectivity and is way over the top. That’s how it seems. anyway. It’s kind of like watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan.

The sooner we can get the ‘Anybody but Mitt’ vote united under one banner, and go from there…

Governor vs ex-Governor… Northeast vs Southwest…

As long as the vote stays split up between Gingrich, Cain, Perry, and the rest…

Mitt will win in the end, without actually having to EARN the win…

In a Mitt vs Rick 2-man fight, whoever comes out with the nomination will have had to justify everything to the people…

So long as we keep this giant field (many of whom it’s obvious should not and will not win the nomination) we just let Romney slide on by to the nomination.

Which is not good for anyone, including the Romney camp.

I’m hoping Perry pulls a comeback personally, but whoever wins should get there after a strong challenge, which you will never get with such a fractured field.

dcacklam, I was not aware that Louisiana had their runoff system setup like that. It sounds reasonable.

nathanalbright, I just want you to know that I am NOT one of these folks posting all those yummy recipes (copy and paste, baby). That’s someone else’s agenda.
Lucianne.com always has a tremendous holiday-cooking thread that usually begins the Wednesday morning before Thanksgiving. Copy and paste these, folks. Conservative Cookin’ Rox !
