DeMint's Candidate Forum
— DrewM

It's on CNN right now.

No Perry, he had to head home and actually be a Governor.

DeMint, Steve King from Iowa and Robert P. George will be asking them questions.

Bachmann is up first. DeMint is asking about constitutional limits on the government, jobs and right to work.

Best part of this 3 questions in? Questions actual Republicans care and think about.

20 I love how the Lib-dem-socs always claim Rick Perry's success in Texas is just dumb luck. Perry's campaign add response should be...

"Well my fellow Americans, if I would have implemented Obama's policies at a state level in Texas, such as preventing oil companies from drilling and refining oil, if I would have let the EPA have a free hand in Texas as they wanted to do without any push back, if I would have supported labor unions over the interest of job creators and taxpayers, if I or my administration would have established the same anti business anti growth policies as the Obama administration, then I too would have the same dismal record in Texas as Obama has at the national level."

Nuff said!!

Posted by: Paris Paramus at September 05, 2011 03:33 PM (kfz40) You do realize McCain was a Senator? Had absolutely no executive authority? Couldn't do anything more than sponsor a bill? And really, not even that, because every bill related to the financial crisis would have been an appropriation, and thus must originate in the House. Perry, OTOH, is the Chief Executive of Texas. He can direct state level resources, call out the Guard, reassure his residents, and use the bully pulpit of his office to marshal resources not directly under his control. If you can't quite grasp the nuance of the differences, I have to say, you're not as smart as I've long considered you to be.

I haven't been following politics for long, but I doubt there has been any candidate who wanted to lose to his opponent so badly. Aside from the irrelevant Huntsman and RON PAUL!, I think any of the crop of current candidates would be much better than McCain. And at least, RON PAUL! would be willing to stick it to SCOAMFOTUS.

98 @92 The first person to go after Perry for his absence at DeMint's thing in the Hot Air thread was a huge Romney supporter. So there's that. I think people assume attacks on Perry come from Palin supporters, because they're generally much more aggressive, not to mention their presence on the internet is much larger than the Romney supporters'.

Posted by: Oily Taints at September 05, 2011 12:05 PM (TUax9)

Mr Schmidt drew parallels with Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, saying: "There's every reason to believe you keep your eye on these sorts of people."

"Do you feel that way about Sarah Palin as well?" Mr Benioff mischievously planted.

"Let's say I focus on education as an important criteria," a smiling Mr Schmidt answered, much to the delight of the crowd.

Please give me a heads up so I can laugh with you!!

109 I know Perry felt he needed to be in TX, but I would have liked to hear what he had to say to some of the questions at this forum. They are getting into much more depth than any debate we will hear.

I like to call him "malignant dwarf" except that Victor Franko managed to be somewhat heroic at the end of that movie.

112 @102 Yeah, I think it's a great way for someone to get egg on their face. Somewhere like Hot Air, where vocal Palinistas make up at least a sizable plurality of commenters, and has closed registration, one could get away with it a bit more. Here, on the other hand, with open reg 24/7, assuming someone supports any candidate without knowing their history is a risky proposition. But hey, 3-4 months ago, anyone who criticized Palin was labeled a Romneybot by more than a few Palinistas. It's a go-to way to dismiss someone without thinking about their argument by supporters of all candidates.

Yeah, this does seem like a missed opportunity. I wish they'd schedule something like this in Jan/Feb during primetime, so more people would be paying attention. Also, I sort of wish Santorum and Huntsman were here. I like this format.

125 Romney stutters when he nervous. I think it comes from not having the conviction of his words.

It's the global warming. he caught "Da Fever" on Pelosi's couch.

127 I'd do it for you, Lauren, but the pussies that run Hot Air won't let me register. -------- Same here. I asked for about 2 years, and frankly now I dont want to any more- except to thump some comments. They do get old!

131 BTW -

Sarah Palin's latest facebook post (sarahpac) LINK

Excerpt (emphasis added):

Yesterday morning I joined the "Jump Right in and Run" half marathon in Storm Lake, Iowa and last night in Manchester, New Hampshire we enjoyed a lovely dinner at the Puritan Back Room. The local folks we met with were wonderfully nice and true American patriots. Their concerns were common - the massive burden of government on small businesses, the abysmal economic and employment rate and their strong desire to restore America.

Isn't that sort of like catching a social disease simply by sitting on a toilet seat?
