They are invoking 1970s-style arguments about welfare dependency, and applying them to Social Security and Medicare as the unspoken target. I think they are actually going to succeed in redefining Social Security and Medicare as welfare.
Um… did Perry just say he asked the FEDERAL government for boots on the ground to protect the border? Why doesn’t he just get Texans to do it. Ya know, state’s rights.
Texas politics is interesting and there are many flavors of GOP down there. The Perry camp is not only estranged from the Bush camp, but dedicated enemies of the Paulistas.
So Rick Perry’s strategy is to lie about the facts about Texas.
Looks like that’s the plan, Dana.
The measure of stupidity for the GOP is that Huntsman polls low among them.
Ron Paul doesn’t want regulations for new medicines? He is batshit crazy!
It is a lie-fest. But if the jobs don’t show up, voters just might buy it.
Newt Gingrich is a paranoid.

Ron Paul is against man dates.
I think Perry looks a tad unsure of himself.
So far they all agree with President Obama and Senator Coons that the way to create jobs is with tax cuts. I wish we had some different choices there.
So Rick Perry plans to run against Social Security. Good. Let him.

I’d kind of like to pay $2/gallon for gas.
Could Huntsman win by a plurality if the nut-jobs split the tea baggers’ votes into pieces? He does seem like the adult in the room.
Huntsman: “I believe in science.”
He’s toast. (Okay, he never stood a chance, but now he’s burnt toast)
I think Perry won this debate. The Romney/Perry fight was enjoyable.
Republicans want to award Perry a gold medal for executing people, particularly innocent ones.
I wonder why Ron Paul is running against Rick Perry. What does he have to gain? Is it some kind of vendetta stemming from TX politics?

Hasn’t Ron Paul been running for President since before Rick Perry pulled the legs off of his first ant?
My fantasy Cheese Rolling league draft was last night, so I missed it. Did anyone say anything sane?
