Cain is beginning to sound like a parrot.
“The Economy is on life support, we need a BOLD NEW plan! My 999 plan”
I would like to have a remote control electric shock to shock Michelle each rime she says Uninted. There is no second N.
Herman Cain: Nahn nahn nahn...
Herman, 999 is 666 upside down.
Herman needs a few new lines.
Herman Cain and his 9-9-9- Express sounding very good.
“How does Washington work? It doesn’t”—well said.
Which one doesn’t? The strongest leader would be Perry out of all of them. That is what is needed to take on 0.

Well played sir, well played. :-D
Good to see you too!
I am home in the Lone Star State for now. I may head back overseas in early 2012.
Excellant on Cain!
If Romney talks again about what he’s done!
Perry has that Gregory Peck look going on.
“They say ‘You don’t know how Washington works.’ I say yes I do. It doesn’t work.”
Best line of the night.
:)I like that everybody has a chance to talk.
The format is designed to thin the contenders and to make Republican candidates fumble. So. Are we electing the best debater, or the right man?
Mitt’s “we are an energy rich nation living like an energy poor nation” line was good.
Herman Cain’s 9 9 9 plan was interesting.
It doesn’t fit right.
Great response by Cain ... They say that I don’t know how Washington works ... it doesn’t work.
LOL!
agree.
They all are stealing Palin's stuff.
Newt is terrific. Its just that by now everyone knows he will peter principle out sooner or later.
