Thank you. I’m really enjoying the discussion. These men are results oriented.

These two are helping one another in this “debate”. Not a debate, more of an infomercial for voters to understand why we need to send OBAMA into retirement, along with his socialist cronies in Congress.

I agree......they're educating the public...Newt from the Political Side...Cain from the Business side...and both throwing some of both within their responses

Cain gives good answer regarding exisitng retirees—give them the choice vs. benefits.

Says young persons understand the value of a personal account versus present system and are in favor of it.

Cain says first you have to get rid of the existing tax code and use the 9-9-9 plan!

Audience applauds and laughs.

Sorry, but you must not know much about LeanSS. I work for an organization that has been fundamentally transformed - I’d even say saved - by its implementation. It’s hard. It involves breaking a lot of eggs. But it’s very real and very VERY impactful.

We apologize again for the fault in the audio. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.

If they're union they can't be sacked.

It depends upon what you think this meeting is for... finding solutions, or besting the other. Hence, you either see Cain as a dope for the handoff, or thoughtful for deferring.

Anyone not suffused with koolaid can see that Cain hadn't a clue how to answer the question.

As for "what you think this meeting is for... finding solutions, or besting the other" -- they're calling it a debate; not a search for solutions. The point of a debate is...?

Without taking too much time away from the debate watch, can you describe what Lean Sigma Six is?

NIce link to nothing there. But if you find a good link that isn’t to someone who is giving the wrong information, ROmney/Perry were invited to do their own 1-on-1. Doubt they will.

You do realize that the entire SELLING POINT of this debate was that it was one-on-one. Yet now THREE freepers have jumped at the chance to argue that two other candidates “refused” to come to a one-on-one debate that already had two invited candidates.

Can you imagine either of them debating Joe Biden in a VP debate?

I haven’t seen one instance where Cain doesn’t know how to answer a question asked of him. What debate are you watching, and what axe are you grinding?

Newt said he would resist the temptation to speak about Caine’s 999 plan...
