Cain: Congress wouldn't raise the 999 because it is visible and would require a 2/3 vote of the Senate.

[Cain doesn't know much about Congress. They will find all kinds of tricks to get their treats. Unintended consequences of 999 would have a monstrous new tax code in 50 years.]

Until 'spending' is addressed and curbed,
tax schemes are not going to resolve anything.

The Gator game may well have been an exercise in leadership or lack thereof.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Cain on Leno impressions of fellow candidates:

Ron Paul...grumpy old man.

Rick Santorum...stressed.

Mitt Romney...good hair.

Cain wants hipper tune than “Hail to the Chief”...maybe some gospel flair.

Wallace bringing up Cain’s view of the other candidates.

[Interview has devolved. It is about as ridiculous as boxers-or-briefs. Fluff without substance.]

[Happy Rain]

Bob Bechtel,the verbose if benighted,talking point dependent,hapless Leftist of “The Five” on Fox News who's job is to blow off the more insane (yet mainstream in fact) Leftists put Breitbart’s “Hollywoods sympathy “F” Garafoloe who called Cain a racist's cover in the “nuts” column who have nothing to do with the “benevolent progressive agenda” of “race irrelevant” Obama.

[rodguy911]

The 9-9-9 plan is a stroke of brilliance but is subject to the whims of future congresses that could up the ante. Once again the basics are what need help.

Is the US a welfare country like those in Europe or is it a bastion of Free Enterprise and Capitalism where govt. intervention is rare and unnecessary.

The future is ours to lead.

[Son House]

Why does Wallace have to ask businessmen whether Obama’s policies are helping? Just look at the economic numbers, Wallace.

[ken5050]

Will the BET chaiman walk back some of his criticism of Obama earlier this week?..Bechtel, earlier on the Five, said that Johnson HATES Obama..it’s all personal..

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Crazy Ann Coulter, who evidently gets hot and bothered over fat men who would cushion her boney self, done lost all credibility as the sane with her gusto over Christie.

Sort of a "Jack Sprat" kinda thing.

[Miss Marple]

World record run-on sentence! LOL!

I need a shorter explanation or something. I followed it until the “F” and got lost.

[Son House]

Why does Wallace have to ask businessmen...

to continue to shill for Democrats...

[MEG33]

Wallace complimented Cain for coming on and answering all questions..Cain did well.

[gorush]

On a cold February morning at the Wisconsin State Capitol...

[ken5050]

Does any media check organization have a record of HOW MANY FRIGGIN’ TIMES McCain is on the Sunday shows? It’s getting ridiculous..time for McConnell and others to start demanding that other Pubbies get more time..NOBODY give a crap what Juan says or thinks or does..

[Miss Marple]

Hi, ken!

It doesn’t matter to me if it’s personal or policy based. Any criticism of Obama is welcome, as far as I am concerned.

[Son House]

Yep, Cain may become unstoppable as Romney and Perry won’t get conservative support, and as the media try to keep Bachmann in check.

[Cboldt]

-- Cain: Message is more powerful than money. --

Tada! Now, the key is to get the message out with as little media mangling as can be managed.

[rodguy911]

Great catch mewzilla.

This is Europe's/UK's Rick Perry and his anything goes for Mexicons only in the UK.

Europe may be lost. The welfare state has a huge hold on politics over there and once people grant themselves money and that grant exceeds 50% of the population its hard to stop. Witness Greece,Italy Spain, it remains to be seen for Europe and the UK.

The bigger question is what will happen in the U.S. after the regimes days of destruction are over.

[rodguy911]

Good catch Tom.

It's not so much the plan. There are lots of plans,man that will work, Mackpenny for one. It's the mentality of those in power.Do they believe in tax cutting, less govt.,more local govt. or do they want the destruction that is the ozero regime?

Are we a welfare state or will free enterprise rise from the ashes?
