If Cain could build on his tax plan-fair tax system, I would vote for him in a heartbeat no matter if had some slight issues which I could look over. It’s still early tho, it’s beginning to develop. So nice to see a refreshing news story. I am sure Cain is happy tonight. Congrats to Mr. Cain. You sir, smacked the media’s frontrunners. Even if short lived, it is a good feeling.

Don’t sweat it Manc, we all do it once in a while. I do it when I have several windows open and doing several things at once, it happens, no big deal. I understood exactly what you said.

“After the Obama disaster, “Zero Experience” doesn’t sound so unimportant anymore. “

OK so Cain doesn’t have much experience pandering to people and telling them what they want to hear. Cain has experience actually running real stuff.

>>Numbnuts Santorim kept harping on “what about the discount for other non-Texas student before illegals”, the idiot was just being disrupting thinking he was makinhg VP points with Mutt.

What he was explaining was right on-why give special rights to an illegal and by pass that same assistance to a legal citizen who has paid fairly as a legal. Sounds like the legislature was trolling for the Hispanic vote.

I don’t believe I said SHE said anything about that. I just think they would make a formidable team. What is it with everyone jumping to conclusions around here lately? Good heavens, I’m doing (what used to be) harmless speculation and get this kind of response? How many people have Xname/Yname2012! in their signature lines? Isn’t that the same thing. I’m sure Palin is quite capable of choosing the best running mate for herself and I trust her to do so. Frankly, I can’t wait for her to jump in. I’m really disappointed it’s getting so contentious around here. Conservatives usually have tough exteriors. Maybe it’s just the deep concern for our country and how important this election is. I hope so. I’ve been here for 8 years and this is the first time I’ve felt the tension I’ve felt for the past few months.

So you don’t even know what the word ‘quote’ means?

How can I have a rational discussion w you if you don’t understand basic words?

Quote my actual post. Show me where, specifically, I claimed to mind-read the straw poll participants.

You can’t do that because it’s not true. Period.

Palin’s earned the right to be on the top of the ticket. She’s been out there campaigning, getting conservatives elected at all levels of government and unabashedly and fearlessly speaking about conservative values, policies and ideas. She’s also said she won’t be second on anyone else’s ticket ever again so if you want Cain at the top of the ticket you’ll have to have someone else in the VP slot.

To: mojitojoe; manc

I replied to manc without malice. I can see his sincerity. That is why I made the effort to explain the In-State tuition issue that he seemed to misunderstand.
If you would follow our back and forth you would see that.

yea I’ve wrote a comment some don’t like they refer to the old boring usual crap of “I don’t understand , you never put a period”

If a candidate won’t close the border and then say we’re bigots then F him.

how you doing lately anyway, how was your time down south?

Yes, this is equally damning for Romney. the media is once again singling out Perry. Perry stunk it up and beat Romney, who has by traditional standards performed above expectations. This is absolutely a huge setback for both Perry and Romney.

“Many straw poll voters were especially dissatisfied by the answers Perry gave over his moderate immigration position”

Other than pulling this out of your ass, where did you get this bit of insight, interview each and every one of them? Hell no, you just CLAIMED it and posted it as if it was FACT.

Now go on back to fantasy world.

My worry about Cain is that he doesn’t have any political experience.

After the Obama disaster, "Zero Experience" doesn't sound so unimportant anymore.

Zero had political experience. He was also "groomed" for the Illinois State seat while he was a "community agitator".

The nation is yearning for someone who is NOT defiled by the political oligarchy in this system.

One needs to understand “His Rickness’s” strategy:

He’s not going to unleash the mojo too early; there’s no telling how the public will react.
