Would increased taxes on the wealthy and big business REALLY cost jobs?

Perry's true colors showed in the debate. He's been getting a lot of positive media attention for no reason - reminds me of someone.

His ideas are being more exposed because he has the votes that 3 or 4 of the others that are running need.

I guess in the end I'd much rather debate specific policies than try to back-asswards critique a proposal based on trying to generalize their point of view off of the kooks who happen to fall on their side of the line.

I mean, I'd rather debate Perry's view on illegal immigration juxtaposed against Santorum's than simply say that Santorum's position is ipso facto terrible since Sarah Palin is also a Republican.

Too much of that going on by both sides of the aisle, imo.

Which of the three pics most closely reflects your view?

The most qualified person on either side is still Newt but he has been demonized (some of it deserved) to the point that it would be difficult for him to win. I would however love to see him in debate with Obama. In those two men you have representatives not only from different ends of the political spectrum... but also a stark contrast in understanding of the issues and the world. Even if you do not agree with him, Newt knows the issues and has a logically deduced position that he's willing to stand by.

The guy who made up the most ground with me is Huntsman. Though he holds some positions I disagree with, I like his presentation. He seems to have clarity on economic issues and what he would like to do.

Perry definitely lost ground with me. Romney still cannot get my vote.

Remember when Newt was on the global warming band wagon?

Gingrich, Romney, Perry nor Huntsman get my vote.

This is the problem - Im not arguing to keep Obama - I want him out too - I just don't think Perry is the answer.

Will miracles never cease, we are almost in complete
agreement except I'm absolutely sure Perry IS NOT
the answer.
