You keep posting that link to MSNBC.

Here is a clear picture of what happened last night.
- September Debate -
Rick Perry took shots from all around and but came out on top.
However, it was NEWT who pushed NBC back on their heels!

I only saw the start of the debate, the two times Newt came up, he hit homeruns. He saw the big picture..... The media was going to try and get Republicans talking ill of other Republicans, all for the benefit of President Obama. He was the only one following Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment Newt will never win the nomination but will be an asset to the Republican party. I can see a lot of the lesser candidates getting cabinet level jobs.....

Newt has no chance of winning the nomination, and he also attacked the debate moderators at the Iowa debate.
Perhaps this is just his role in this cycle? He is supposed to be the one attacking the liberal media, and liberal agenda, and standing up for the chosen candidates in Perry/Romney?
I wonder what he is getting for his actions? A cabinet position perhaps?

The above Newt clip was the best of the night. Newt made NBC look like idiots.

Ron Paul can't win.
Look at the polling data.

You say Ron Paul can't win, look at the polling data...
Well I looked at the polling data and it sure appears that Ron Paul is winning, so if he can gain the support of voters, can you explain to me why "he can't win"? Is your vote strictly about picking the "winner" or are you actually casting a vote because you are searching for a Candidate that makes your world a better place? If you are basing your decision to vote on who you think can win, please do everyone a favor and keep your butt away from the voting polls on election day.
The main reason for my reply though is I am very curious as to your mindset. Are you basing you potential vote strictly on what you hear these candidates say while they are on TV?
If you would bother to look at what Rick Perry has actually done, you would probably change your opinion of Rick Perry. Maybe the best thing people can do, not only listen to what they say but then go back and look at their voting records. Go back and look at the legislation they have passed, introduced or supported. If what you hear does not go hand in hand with your research, then you know the person is full of malarkey.

You can tell me who you think it is down to all you want.
I will support whomever I choose.
That being said, you failed to answer three very direct questions. So I will ask them again.
1. Can you explain to me why "he can't win"?
2. Is your vote strictly about picking the "winner" or are you actually casting a vote because you are searching for a Candidate that makes your world a better place?
3.Are you basing your potential vote strictly on what you hear these candidates say while they are on TV?
edited to add: If you think Palin would bring smaller Government than you clearly have no idea what you are talking about and I would suggest you go to Youtube and watch all the debates from 2008 and listen a little more carefully.edit on 9-9-2011 by MrWendal because: (no reason given)
1. Ron Paul is to naive about Iran getting a nuclear bomb. Now is a bad time to be an isolationist.

Ron Paul is not an Isolationist. He wants to open Diplomacy and Trade with Iran. He doesn't want them to get a Nuke, but he understands why they would want one, especially as long as we are using them as our boogie man.
Ron Paul doesn't understand why we would ever take Diplomacy off the table as an option, like we did by refusing to even talk with Iran. I don't understand it either. We talked with China, and Russia, and it worked!!

And IF Iran were to fire a nuke at Israel what do you think would happen?
That is the cool thing about Radar, you kind of know whats coming before it gets there. So chances are Israel would fire a nuke right back and both countries would blow up...
This is the same issue we had with Russia. Would you like to take a guess as to why neither country fired a nuke? Because it would result in the destruction of both Countries. It is the same reason why Pakistan has never fired on India and vice versa. It's called Self Preservation.
Iran would not fire on Israel because doing so would result in their own destruction.edit on 9-9-2011 by MrWendal because: (no reason given)

"Nutjob" is an act. Nobody gets to his station in life by being a suicidal nutjob. Iran will not shoot a missile at Israel, because it would be certain suicide, even without the US's help.
