It's a great one.
One thing that is bothering me is that Romney and Perry are playing politics bad. Every question they get they turn the answer into an attack on one another. It's very transparent what they are trying to do and frankly a huge turn off. Fucking pathetic.

Why is Perry giving illegals preferential treatment over Citizens in regards to college? Why are Texans paying $100,000 for college educations for illegals, but not Texans?
Santorum went after him on border protection, because Perry said he had Texas Rangers and more on the border, but when asked why illegals are still getting through, Perry blamed the Feds, and Santorum saw the hole in it, and went after it.
Perry said one thing, got caught, and switched it up to blame the Feds.
and I have a question, if all of these candidates are going to just walk into office and just "shut down" the Dept of Education, EPA, Dept of Labor and some of the others they've mentioned, I sure would like to know "how?"
President isn't dictator. Do people really believe that a POTUS can just "shut down" the IRS and put in a whole new tax system just because he/she says so?

Romney closes the gap.
What is this political system coming to?
I hate how the media focuses on just Romney and Perry. They decided they are the 2 front runners.
It is also very funny like a previous post said that when elected they will shut down this or change this like they can just do it with a flip of a button. Not that simple.
I personally am starting to like Cain more and more and the guy from Utah and I can never remember his name.
What do the rest of us know anyway.
I read that this is the most corrupt time in history for US politics! I have no idea if that's true because I don't believe a thing I read or hear anymore w/o following the money/facts.
The enthusiasm gap is rapidly switching sides. Democrats are becoming energized at an exponential rate, Republicans are increasingly disgusted with both Perry and Romney, and people are looking for an alternative. An independent run by Paul or possibly Bloomberg would make things interesting.
But both Romney and Perry look worse the more they talk. That's a real bad thing when it's only September, 14 months until the election. If they have to keep going the way they are now, by the time the election comes, the only votes they get will be their mothers and the Koch brothers.
Congress is making it even worse for Republicans. They can't pass anything that doesn't contain a poison pill faux spending cut that nobody with a brain would agree to, and they're staring another government shutdown in the face if they don't pass some kind of rational bill out of the House. Boehner can't seem to explain the difference between governing and foaming-at-the-mouth campaigning to the Tea Party freshmen, and the resulting legislation going to the Senate is designed to fail. And a government shutdown in the midst of a soft economy and all the problems in Greece is going to be disastrous to the economy, and if it happens, Americans are going to wash their hands of the entire Republican party. Boehner knows that, but he can't control those idiotic troops he inherited.
0 debate, weird format, no real challenge. Follow up ?
for Cain:: if you weren't wealthy how likely is it you would have survived stage 4 cancer? Be dead and gone.
Which is what I kept yelling at my TV every time he'd mention another step in his process about how he got into a CT Scan so quickly and all his treatments so quickly, because he's a millionaire.....I would love to see that speech put on YouTube with someone placing the words "because you're a millionaire" on it for each step he mentioned.
Average Joe on BCBS might not have received the same level or speed of service and average joe without insurance would have just been told to "make appropriate plans"
But, using his anecdote as a point/counterpoint to the health care debate undermines solving the problems.
Pit Row
Egos and pissing matches could create huge problems.
The guy is no dummy, but you would think that he would be able to figure out that his arrogance is his biggest problem, and make a few adjustments.
That's the ego thing he can't overcome.
In '08, other candidates ganged up on Romney because they knew he couldn't win the general election. Now, they're ganging up on Perry for the same reason - and inadvertently handing the nomination to Romney, who is no more electable today than he was in '08. The Republican party is a train wreck.
Besides that, people just don't LIKE the guy. He'll say anything you want to hear, he doesn't have a genuine bone in his body, and even people in his own party hate him, which is why so many aligned themselves against him in '08. And he won't necessarily win all the traditional Republican southern states, because those voters detest a northern rich-kid carpetbagger snake oil saleseman with a white-hot passion. They won't vote for Obama, but they won't vote for Romney either.
