A Personal Though about the Debate

Good morning Lois,

The continuing debates will be interesting...it would be nice if we could merge all of the best points of the different candidates into one.  Unfortunately, one perfect candidate isn't everyone's idea of the perfect candidate (darn it all!).

Have a great day!

Perry has had a LARGER stage for a LONGER time - Mitt was a 4-year gov of a BLUE state and Perry has had FREE REIGN of a RED state for 3 terms.

I agree with Perry on Social Security and I think that Mitt has still not responded to Romneycare in MA and how it HAS NOT WORKED

Good morning, Lois.  I typically do not comment or post on political issues; however your title grabbed me and it is an interesting one.  I agree with wanting to take the best of each and blend it together for our "dream" man for the job.  It reminds me of clients I have had - they want some of this house, some of the next one....and can not find the perfect one!  Here's to the best man winning!  BTW - I am a Texan if that give you a clue.  LOL

I agree with you but really have not seen anyone that seems strong and smart enough to do the job. We have a real mess to clean up there in Washington and the next man/woman up will have to implement things that may make them temporarily unpopular in order to get rid of this extreme debt. Things will have to change and it takes a strong person to stand up and do the right thing in order to save the nation. Yes, merging them together would be nice but since that can't happen who will be the best person for the job???

Congratulations - This post is now featured in Silent Majority Group of Active Rain!

I think Romney handled the Romneycare issue last night in a way I have never seen him do before...and it got it.  The one who surprised me the most was Gingrich.  He showed a side of him I haven't seen in a while. 

Personal, I have had enough of smooth talkers. I like Perry's policies more, but I haven't listened enough to be fully informed.

I did not listen to the debate.  It's way to early to start picking camps.  I'm not totally sold on anyone.  No one has inspired me or made me feel they passed the job interview.  I'm tired of hearing of what "they" think I want to hear. 

Like Bonnie Tyler said "I NEED A HERO".  Someone who may not be perfect but who will lead for the good of the people - not the party.

Perry gets my vote!!!!  We NEED another science-denying Governor from the Great State of Texas; after-all the last one did such a stupendous job!!

Neither Perry nor Romney gave the best answers last night. Newt gave some fantastic responses (he really needs to be the next president's chief of staff or a prime advisor) and Herman Cain, as much as the questioners tried to marginalize him, gave some great responses, even when he had to jump in.

Karl - exactly which science did the previous president deny?

Hi, Lois. I won't give fodder to the left to bash my candidate with. My observation is that Perry can beat up Brian Williams with one hand tied behind the governor's back any time of day.

I think the candidate with the best hair wins, which would be either Perry or Romney. lol

I've reserved VA's Bob McDonnell for Perry's VP * he is a RED STATE Gov who succeeded Perry as head of GOP Govs and our stte has JOBS!....as for Karl saying that Perry would be another science denier - Bush sought out MANY optinions from scientists and climate change advocates BEFORE the Global Warming Hoax was brought to light....it was DENIED for him.

Rubio was born in Miami of Cuban 'exiles.' He is an American.  What I find interesting, in a political sense, is that Rubio attends both Catholic Mass and Protestant services at one of the biggest mega-churches in Florida.   I don't know what it says about his spirituality, but it certainly says something about is political ambition.

Wallace - Bush seeking out scientific advice...too, too funny.  As if Bush would be able to understand the language of chemists, biologists, physicists, climatologists...etc, etc.  The guy couldn't even pronounce "nuclear" for Gods sake.
