Friends and fellow citizens,
If you'd be so kind as to give your honest assesment of the candidates tonight including who you can support and whom you cannot.
Please chime in. It'd be helpful to know what you all are thinking right about now. Kate
Romney- phony. slick. He must grate on peoples' nerves. Not likable. Bachmann- Ametuerish (sp), cheap shot re: 999 Cain- No nonsense. Genuine. Not quite ready though. Newt- The whole package deluxe but too much baggage. Perry- Genuine. Experienced. I could support. Santorum- Strong conservative. Could support.
If this is it, the Republic is in serious trouble.
That’s succinct enough! Is there not anyone you can support?
Cain- No nonsense. Genuine. I’d vote for him in a heartbeat. Newt would make a great VP.
My thoughts are:
Perry - not Presidental material. Supports illegal aliens.
Romney - Too much the politician. Not for me!
Santorum - Don’t care for his policies.
Bachmann - Too self centered. Comments on her children at every chance. I’m more concerned with the country and not her family.
Paul - I like, but don’t agree with his foreign policies, ie Isreal.
“If this is it, the Republic is in serious trouble.”
My first thought, too.
We’re screwed. We may as well just hunker down and know that we have a few decades of this ‘new normal’ to deal with...
*SIGH*
I’m more ready than most to deal with it; I think many need to get serious about learning some basic survival skills...
All of my favorites aquitted themselves well, although Cain clearly fumbled the 'who's your favorite fed chairman' question. Paul got that one right.
Not that it'll matter in the end though. This race isn't going to be determined by any more debates - any damage that will be done has been done.
Sounds to me like you’re judging American Idol.
Any opinions on the candidates plans?
Yes, the Republic is in deep trouble. Regardless of whether this is it or not.
If we can get 60 in the Senate and keep the house, it really doesn’t matter who is in the White House. Just someone to cheer up the masses and sign the bills. Cain or Perry will do just fine.
He must grate on peoples’ nerves.

amen.
i will not vote for romney, even if he is the rino-regime’s choice.
Romney and Perry come across as liars...used car salesmen.
Bachmann comes across as a NUT.
Santorum comes across polished and accomplished...but I do not believe the USA will elect another SoCon that is so unabashedly so.
I liked Cain.
1. Newt
2. Cain
3. One of the guys who will probably win because I suck at pickin' 'em.
Romney - fake, something I don’t trust about him.
Perry - did well...finally. Answered well. Didn’t get enough questions.
Cain - needs more than 999. Was challenged more because of the polls. He got a little angry with Paul. Greenspan answer won’t go over well.
Newt - best debater but can’t win.
Santorum - can’t get past his sneer
Bachmann - Quoted again things she ‘heard’ 3rd hand. Hard to trust facts now.
Ron Paul - he did the same as always
I liked Cain, Newt, and Perry. I believe Perry benefited greatly by not coming off as ‘bad’ as he did in previous debates. He left himself an easy act to follow.
I came away supporting Cain even more. If Romney is our nominee, once people tune in and listen to him, we are SCREWED. He is the quintessential, “ya gotta check to see if you still have your wallet” thing after he speaks. He is King of the Slimeballs.
My choices in order for VP are Bachmann, Santorum, and (perhaps) Cain.
The rest are out.
Once again.... Palin won this debate hands down.
just my opinion...
Turn out the lights the GOP party is over.Would any one really travel 30 minutes to see any of them speak.
I picked the wrong day to stop drinking.
Rick Perry didn’t make himself worse off for the first time. Congratulations, Rick!
Cain was fine but nervous and a little tight. He did well enough but could have done a little more good for himself if he had spoken more broadly.
Romney is smart, informed, experienced, disciplined, hardworking, and well-prepared. Too bad he’s an unprincipled, untrustworthy flip-flopper.
Bachmann and Santorum are nice enough and talented enough and goshdarnit people like them. Just not enough people. I hope we have fewer people on stage at some point.
Newt was Newt which is to say smart, knowledgeable, and on point. Too bad he allowed his character lapses to long ago disqualify himself.
Ron Paul should have shone tonight but didn’t. He just doesn’t know how to make friends.
Huntsman should be outside washing everybody’s cars.
The progressive cancer came out of remission and has metastasized. It progressed from "Read my lips" to " Stop your whining...."
