…is getting a lot of criticism over and getting his 999 plan shredded to shreds

…has absolutely not clue about foreign policy

…has claimed to be conservative and then supports Romney

…will definitely =2 Obama terms

Cain is definitely not able

How foes he treat others? The moderator and other candidates. General behavior? Its an overall perception.

Night All!

If u think I spell words badly tonight on board you should see my texting. Looks like I’m cussing out everybody for no good reason whatsoever. Lots of %hey#lcanyus9ds… Big thumbs, little buttons.

A person’s policies should be more representative of a person rather than their outward appearance?

Nixon and Kennedy…..

My goodness if I just saw someone assassianted I’d throw up too. Can’t fault you for than man. No shame there. It’d creep me out)

Perry/Cain or Cain Perry 2012: count me in!

(I swear I proofread that) Thank you gekster for pointing out.

See how civil we can be towards each other

(everyone take notice how the cain and perry camps are playing nice)

But kepe trying.

Wet noodle lapping of Scope, that’s a classic.

You also have no clue of what stories I would read first, because you have not been allowed to rent space in my brain. Thanks for responding though.

Bill Clinton never seemed genuine. He seemed too politiciany. I wouldn’t trust him with my money or my daughter.

But I could always trust Fred. Sometimes George W, but never Gore. And truthfully, nobody trusts Obama. The gut is a hard taskmaster.

Why would I waste time reading an article about sombody pushig their latest policy if I didn’t connect with them somehwere. Not jsut the easy places, like a 10 second shot on the nightly news.

You don’t support Cain. Tell me, are you more likely to read an article titled…”Cain the greatest thing since sliced bread” or “Cain, look what he’s done now, how embarassing”. You and he never connected. You’re gonna read the latter. And proclaim the former a “distraction.” Or not read either about him. Why should I react differently to your candidate.

How are the candidates sitting, or standing? Do they appear nervous, anxious or relaxed.

Can they answer the question in the alloted time? If not how do they handle it.

Do they “talk over” another candidate or the moderator? Does this occur frequently?

Do they give an honest answer to the question no matter how uncomfortable the question may be , or do they merely bs until time is up.

Does the candidate’s smile seem genuine or is it fake.

How do they respond to a “bad” or biased moderator?

Do they appear condescending to the moderator or other candidates?

Does the candidate appear preoccupied while another candidate is answering a question.

Do they speak clearly, too softly, too loudly? How often?

Do I enjoy hearing the speaker? Would I like to have a non-political conversation with the speaker? Would I invite the speaker to my house? Would I trust him with my money or my daughter?

Reading a quote in a newspaper,mag or online only uses our eyes. With radio, its just listening. But with television we use both senses and our gut.

Its like meeting a new person for the first time. You know if you’ve connected. If you don’t like the guy from sales on the third floor you didn’t make a connection. Something happened in the hallway or the cafeteria. Make sense? I know it sounds like warm/fuzzies but that’s how connections are made.

The debate is needed for a connection. Not a two mintue read that some reporter typed up. Sure the reporter made a connection. But not me. And tv ads are fine, but scripted. Show me the real you.

What I do not want to see is a repeat of 2000-2008 where Bush acted like an idiot, promoted big goverment policies, ballooned the national debt, and gave conservatives a bad name, leading to the situation in 2008 where independents were so annoyed w/ the GOP that they elected a loser like Obama. They have since come to regret their votes, but the Republicans have given them very little be excited about.

The 2010 election was supposed to be huge, and it did stop the insanity from accelerating, but the House has not been effective from the Tea Party’s point of view. The GOP has repeatedly passed budgets that continue the deficit spending, rolled over on the debt ceiling increase, and formed this farce of a commission.

Perry’s problem is not his record; it’s his presentation and messaging. The way he’s debated, even the stutering failure of a president Obama might beat him. He has to prove that he can hold his own in a debate and speak with intelligence. Interrupting Romney in that last debate, like a little child, really turned me off. He may be a warrior for Tea Party ideals, but I’m just not sure he can be the spokesman or leader that we need on the national stage.
