It's a poll!

[WFTR]

Rick Perry lost badly, and as a result, Mitt Romney won. If Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum had executive experience and were anywhere close to Mr. Romney in the polls, one could argue that one of them won. They both gave great answers. However, this debate didn’t move them towards the presidency as much as the debate moved Mitt Romney towards the presidency. Newt Gingrich is still in these debates because we love to hear him speak. Rick Santorum is in these debates to get the VP nod or prepare to win back his senate seat.

Excellent summation. Excellent.

I now find myself back in the desert. I really want a real conservative at the top this time. Not Mitt McCain.

I concur. I'm sick about our lack of decent candidates aka real conservatives.

“The Herman Cain-Newt Gingrich hybrid was not a choice.”

From my view point, Cain won the debate. His answers were spot on without hesitation. He has solid plans and doesn’t dance around questions. He’s not a career politician, he’s a business man who knows how to look for real solutions. Him with Gingrich (not a fan, but he’s Washington savvy) would be a great ticket. Perry and Romney as far as I’m concerned are Democrats. Calling them Rhinos would be too kind. I’m tired of being told to vote for another demo plant so the self proclaimed demo won’t win. There is no way either Perry or Romney will get my vote. Both of them should be on used car lots. As far as “get behind the party,” I’m not a lemming and if the RNC whats to get behind a democrat, I’m not following them off that cliff. I have a conscience and intend to vote it. If others feel they have to sell out and vote for Rhino, then they get what they deserve. I have to stand before God at the end of the day.

Hiya “pops88”!

I have a theory that the deck is being stacked at the following poll. If you saw the debate, please go here and vote: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/09/22/who-won-debate/

Thanks!

[maine-iac7]

you say: “, I’m going to go with Herman Cain.”

I liked Cain until he folded, after ‘offending’ the mussies, and apologized.

We need someone with the backbone to tell the truth and then STAND by it! No more apologies to those who insult us all the time and want nothing but to kill us. And they are testing people who they think might end up in high office to see if they can make them back down to them. WE need someone who doesn't speak PC.

I agree! Here’s a link to a poll that I think is being altered....my theory: the deck is being stacked!

BUMP!

BUMP!!

I liked Gingrich for this debate - and although Santorum hasn't a chance, and I don't think he's strong enough for the office, he's the ONLY ONE that even MENTIONS our troops - and the murderous, traitorous ROE that this bast*rd POS in the WH put in - resulting in over 63% of our troops killed in 10 years - are during and because of this CICINO.

I have not heard ONE WORD from any of the other candidates about our troops.

There ARE two people who would pull these killing, Taliban favoring ROE first thing and who know who our enemy is and will not back down from them, kow tow to them or apologize to them.

Hopefully, one will soon declare and when she gets the nomination, pick the other for her running mate.

[marron]

The two strongest were Cain and Gingrich. My favorites are Cain, Gringrich, Bachmann, and Sanatorum and consequently I thought they all did well, but Cain and Gingrich stood out.

Perry doesn’t do well, don’t care for Romney. Really don’t care for Paul or Huntsman (though Paul does well when he’s talking about anything other than foreign policy). Huntsman annoys me just looking at him; can’t bear him.

Liked Johnson, he did well.

[haircutter]

Ron Paul??? L O L

He wasn't even asked to answer about foreign affairs and I think he was forgotten the first hour..

He doesn't have a chance in He!! of being elected, what a waste of time and money on him...at his age he is lucky to get out of bed in the mornings...time to retire Paul and save yourself an embarrassment.

[chris37]

Ah yes, I do remember that. But, I was just referring to whom I thought won tonight, but point well taken.

I’m still hoping to be able to vote for Sarah Palin.

[Rome2000]

Ron Paul has some decent arguments, but that doesn’t discount that he is nuts.

I'd like to see him locked in a small room with Kucinich for a week and see which one comes out wearing a Hitler mustache, maybe both of them.

My prediction is the first candidate to grow a Hitler stache, even Newt, will be the nominee.

[RobbyS]

Cain did not fold but he did backtrack because he realized how determinated the Establishment is to punish anyone who dares raise the question of the role that Islam plays in the War on Terror. The “realists” are encased in a secularist time-warp where the unrest in the Third World can be attributed to anti-colonialism, a hostility to which they somewhat share

[johnthebaptistmoore]

Sarah Palin won, again!

[Hugin]

The PaulPods are out in force!

[pops88]

I voted already. Yes, the Paul bots are out. I throw all of it out. I look at someone’s record. I don’t care how much Fox or a poll hypes a candidate, I’m not jumping on that band wagon.
