QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 23, 2011 -> 02:46 PM) Governor Rick Perry has "No definitive answer" as to whether President Obama's long-form birth certificate is real. He did add that the question is a distraction...but wouldn't actually say yes to the question when given the chance. no one cares. Perry isn't going to be the nominee, and Obama is not going to win re-election. Therefore the interview is entirely irrelevant.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 06:05 AM) "some people"=pretty much everyone but the very wealthy i would come out ahead big time under 999. but i don't have a bunch of kids and I am super rich. that low 9% income tax would way more than make up for the 9% sales tax.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 18, 2011 -> 09:15 PM) Forgot to record this one, damn. Read through the live blog of it. Seems like Cain is living outside of reality, doesn't understand how people think his tax plan will raise taxes on anyone. Says it is a simple plan, then says no on understands it. Figured this would happen, he is drowning it appears. Also sounded like Michelle Bachmann doubled down on the crazy. Instead of just a border fence, she wants a DOUBLE walled border fence, LOL. And apparently spent a lot of time screaming to get attention, literally screaming. She is so toast. Some praise for Gingrich though, and Romney and Santorum. Perry sounds like he's treading water. That sound about right, mr g? Romney did ok, the usual Mitt Romney debate. Perry spent most of the time flailing away at Romney and looked like an idiot. Got booed a lot. Cain did ok, I don't see any big drop coming from him. People either hate his tax plan or think it's a step in the right direction of simplifying the tax code. It will increase taxes on some people, and he has kind of admitted that but dances around the answer. His supporters are already sold on the tax plan, so they aren't leaving over that. Ron Paul was there. Did his usual bit. Said to bring all the troops home and stop wasting money, everyone cheered. Gingrich was irrelevant. I almost forgot he was there. I was doing some work during the debate, and every time Bachmann gave an answer I didn't really pay attention. I have no idea what she said about anything. Same with Santorum.

Watching the debate, surprisingly this has been Perry's worse debate so far. He has topped himself once again.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 12, 2011 -> 08:18 PM) Does anyone here think Cain actually has staying power? He has some, but not enough to beat Romney. Unless Gingrich gets some big momentum, Cain should finish second.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 12, 2011 -> 08:44 AM) Anyone watch last night's debate? Caught parts of it. Man is Perry terrible, that guy is just going to continue plummeting. While I think Herman Cain is completely out of his league, I wonder if his 9-9-9 stuff might keep him in the race for a while. Romney has really solidifed himself as the guy to beat, again. I don't see anyone in this field having much of a chance to beat him, unless a bunch of people drop out and the far-right can prop up one, ultra-conservative candidate against him. Romney is definitely the guy to beat. He can close it out soon if he plays his cards right.
