Rick Santorum on the attack! First he calls Cain plan "regressive." Now he assails ObamaRomneycare.
This is Perry's best performance thus far but as bad he has been..that ain't hard to do.

omg perry is a cheesy huckster.
Did Perry just diss the Tea Party?
Perry looks like he's waivering...barely treading water...he may drop even further on the poles...
Wayne Newton in da house!!
dear texas,
please keep your perry in austin.
Cult follower and racist democratic redneck were about to throw down on stage lol.
Is Mic e Bachman trying to start a slogan or something? Everything she says has some slogan in it, then she just smiles and stares at the camera.
Ob-omneycare?
The whole thing is a joke. Big business and big government bags Perry and Romney say they are conservatives yet Ron Paul is the most conservative one out of the bunch. Conservatives are not suppose to be about big government and big business.
Ron Paul actually did well tonight even if he didn't get a lot of applause lines from the crowd. I love that he is in there adding width to the debate and saying the rest of them are afraid to say.
She comes across as what she is - an absolute dunce.
“I’ll bump plans with you brother.” (Perry telling Cain he’ll be releasing his own tax plan this week)

Jimmy Ricky really called The Very Black Man "bruvva"?
lol defunding the United Nations
LOSER:
HERMAN CAIN
He would probably sound decisive and authoritative ordering a pizza over the phone, but when his cohorts, led by Santorum, ganged up on his signature tax plan, 9-9-9, he buckled. He didn’t have a persuasive response. He also revealed that his knowledge of foreign policy is at best tomato-sauce deep.
MOST BIZARRE PIVOTS
RICK PERRY
1. Moderator Anderson Cooper asks him about the high number of uninsured children in Texas and he turns it into a charge that Romney hired illegal aliens to do his yard work, ignoring the question.
2. Cooper asks him about a nuclear-waste storage site at Yucca Mountain and the governor pivots to the 10th Amendment.
3. In response to a question about foreign aid — which, in reality, is a miniscule portion of the federal budget — he brought back an old saw from the 1950s: “I think it’s time to have a very real discussion about de-funding the United Nations. . . . Why are we funding that organization?”

I know it's the same every 4 years, but I can't believe this is the most impressive group the Republicans can field.
Mr. Peanut Butter smile.
Some people liked Perrys aggressive posture. Personally, I think he came off as more of a with a hint of desperation at his back. He kept changing up the questions, and at one point kept interrupting Romney and straight up refused to answer one of ACs questions.
Cain seemed to not have the insightful explanations he's going to need about his pizza deal. I think he's also very short in the foreign relations department.
Romney got the best of Perry in their exchanges IMO. But he seems to be content with "playing not to lose". I guess that's the way to do it with this field of candidates. His team seems to know that the others will simply talk themselves out of the race.
Perry almost talked himself out of it. Smart thing might've been to quit now, rather than burn up everybody's dough.
otoh, recent history has shown that routine verbal infelicities and even occasional heinous mashups, do not cons ute insuperable obstacles to presidency in the USA. On the contrary, they might even help.

I have been voting in presidential elections since 1988, and am singularly unimpressed with the character, breadth and depth of the candidates I have had the choice of voting for. It is a sad testimony to our republic, which does contain many great minds and characters who have accomplished great things, that those that seek, or are considered for, the highest, most powerful office in the land are almost never those same people.
You gotta want the power really bad. Guy who doesn't want the job or understand what craving power makes men and women do, doesn't belong there.
It doesn't really matter how ty the candidates are.
A president really doesn't have that much power to shake things up, without controlling the Senate (takes a block of 60 to override the cons ional, constipating self-imposed rule) and House.
Even with Exec and both Houses controlled by one party, the UCA and financial sector always get what they want, and don't get want the don't want.
And the Repugs in the last couple decades have blatantly exposed themselves as being anti-Human-American and pro-Corporate-American.
The American People will prove themselves truly stupid if they hand the govt to the Repugs n 2012, expecting the Repugs to do anything positive for the economy, jobs, and country.
yes. saying he'll remove all financial aid to Israel was a real winner

I know. it's a pretty sad bunch.
