FRiend, no one wants to repeal the 14th, no one. We want to stop misinterpreting it as granting citizenship to anyone born here.

Nice wrap, prs......... “Perry’s bickering diminished him.... looked like he was having seizures in the middle of every sentence....should be checked for TIAs.”

Perry looked like the schoolyard bully——beating up the big guys to shore up his own considerable ianadequacies. And those non sequiturs of his-—make you wince.

All of the candidates had an articulate facility with complex topics......except Perry. He glossed over matters with which a president should be conversant.You almost expected him to “start a conversation” on his best subject-—Poultry Feed.

Perry should reasses his willingness to get on a stage and display his enormous stupidity.

RE :"COOPER: Herman Cain, the 14th Amendment allows that anybody born in the United States is an American citizen. Should that change? “ Cain decided to address the generalized BS from the early questions instead and used it as another opportunity to sell his tax plan yet again though at least he didn’t say 9-9-9. Pathetic."

I am even more discouraged after last night. And Cain was not even doing a good job selling 9-9-9.

My message to legal hispanics would have been :"Illegals are taking your jobs"

And Perry beating on employers didnt impress me either.

RE :”He did avoid the 14th amendment, a “gotcha” question meant to drive a wedge between Hispanics and the GOP. In a head-to-desk moment, Bachmann took the bait and said “anchor babies.” Fortunately, Cain and Perry did not take the bait, particularly when the question was boiled down for Perry to whether we should repeal the 14th. The press is spinning it generally against the field, “candidates take the 5th,” but Perry gave the only sensible answer: NO on repeal.

WRONG!

Only one got it right, Bachmann.

Romney : Change the subject (flunk )
Cain : Change the subject(flunk )
Perry : No, don't amend.(flunk )
Bachmann : We don't need to amend the constitution. All we to do is just change the law.(Gold Star for Michelle)

Perry's position :"Send them to college at taxpayers expense".

Perry looked desperate and angry like a cornered animal. I can just imagine Rita straightening his tie backstage right before the debate admonishing him to “go out there and defend our honor”.

History lesson:

Amnesty RINO Lindsey Graham (worthless piece of crap)cynically proposed amending the 14th amendment on a Sunday show so he could fake concern while giving Democrats and MSM ammunition to be used to keep pregnant illegals flowing into this country to give birth at our expense, by terrifying Republicans making them defend this straw man. And it worked because except for Bachmann ,the rest ran from the question, except for Perry who took the liberals position, give them citizenship and send them to college.

The US DOES NOT GIVE AUTOMATIC CITIZENSHIP TO FOREIGN DIPLOMATS and does NOT have to give it to illegals. THIS AMEND STUFF IS A LIBERAL-RINO straw man.

Sad results but this was a good test to see who is serious . Only Bachmann passed bless her heart.

Heh-—he got a pep talk-—that’s for sure. Musta felt like his days as a cheerleader back in his Aggie days——LOL.

“Perry looked desperate and angry like a cornered animal”——knowing hs days are numbered.

A candidate like Perry who ricochets back and forth-—hyping his moral superiority at one point, then falling down on his answers at other points-—simply does not inspire confidence in the voters.

Perry’s got fragments of info on issues (from cramming) that he foolishly tries to expand on——that simply do not make sense.

Doesn’t seem to realize how transparent he is-—that the voters see through his swagger and strut.

Question: What should we do about anchor babies?

Cain: 9-9-9.

Perry: Drill for oil.

Santorum: Ban gay marriage.

LOL, funny! We should bear in mind that this is a question CNN and friends use as a weapon to get video clips to include in 2012 election TV ads to make hispanics vote against whoever is the GOP nominee (remember Sharron Angle). So maybe their evasion was the best tactic here.

*** “Perry looked desperate and angry like a cornered animal”——knowing his days are numbered. ***

I turned the debate off when doofus Perry went after Mittens on Illegals. I shook my head thinking 'don't go there moron'. And when Perry previously called Cain 'Brother' I really had to laugh. Really, WTF was he thinking (besides nothing).

For his next performance Perry will come on the stage riding a horse, wearing a John Wayne ten gallon hat and in leather chaps, while doing Rope Tricks with his lasso.

Debate answers on TARP were discouraging....

Perry released a statement earlier----said when he wrote a letter as Governor endorsing TARP---he actually meant something else.

About 90% of his activities in Texas have to be walk-backed.

Thinking he was burnishing foreign policy credentials for himself, Perry busily sucked up to China, La Raza, Mexico, Islam----attended global conferences that had nothing to do with Texas......all of which are biting back bigtime.

How Perry got elected governor is the real Texas Miracle. I guess Texans really believe Perry when he struts his "moral superiority" act (/snix).

Makes sense----Perry's boyhood hero is Will Rogers. And dont forget Perry'll be chawing on a piece of hay, speaking Spanish, and quoting the Koran......ROTFL.

“Mega Reply” PING:

Anderson Poof: Could moderate a circle jerk.

“Dancing with the Stars” (Argentina edition ONLY): Will watch later.

‘James Bond’ device to beat GW Bridge toll: Bravo! I remember a couple buddies of mine that used slugs for years at the laundry mat they frequented while in college.

The Great Restoration: “Americans are paying off debts rather than buying new stuff.” WTSHTF people tend to return to the traditional and proven ways of doing things.

Baseball as propaganda/Mammals to attend World Series opener: “I don’t think many people root for teams based on the politics of the team’s location (or owners). Only we politically obsessed people think of that.”

Well, they should - starve the beast!!! I do not hate the Yankees; actually I like them because Mr. Steinbrenner was a Republican.

Sue Boobs: I have yet to see anything with her in it where she does even a mediocre acting job. Now that she’s 119 years old, who cares about the two “attributes” she did have?

That’s it, I’m out!

......."any person who is unlawfully living in the United States should not receive special discounted tuition rates that legal American citizens from the other 49 states don't have access to. It has nothing to do with ethnicity and everything to do with our sacrosanct rule of law. If its Juan Gonzales from Mexico or John Smith from London, England, illegal is illegal. Both Juan and John can attend any and all US colleges, just not at discounted rates".....

Wish we could get that on a tee shirt.

Perry has to do a lot of back stepping while he's waiting on his handlers to give him "his" plans on jobs, energy, etc...

It's becoming increasingly clear that Perry is a fraud as a conservative. He hitched a ride on the Tea Party bandwagon, wrote a book expressing his new found conservative views, then throws his hat in the ring as a latecomer 2nd coming of Christ for conservatives. Now his scheme is unraveling and he's reduced to b*tch fighting with the other fraud Romney on the stage. They cancel each other out.
