    Herman cain is more of a public icon more than anything. I truthfully dont think he is able to be a good president or a good politcal figure. Even though he has a good start at it he is falling quickly underneath the intense and hard question that are constently asked and needed answers.
    I believe that he shouldnt run for president because i dont care for his rule and laws.

    Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann's paid campaign team in New Hampshire has jumped ship from her political operation, WMUR reports.five staffers left Bachmann's Granite State team. I think this is crazy that they just up and left her. I think she is an alright candidate but not my favorite.

    Mitt Romney makes big in N.H official, scoops up Sununu Endorsement. CONCORD, N.H. – A crush of supporters, media and protesters met Mitt Romney today at the New Hampshire Statehouse, where the presidential candidate filed his paperwork for the state’s primary and scooped up the coveted endorsement of former Gov. John H. Sununu.I think that Mitt Romney is good at what he id doing and that he knows his facts. Also he is write for what he believes in and is trying to do good for america so he can become the next presidnet.

    Rick Perry's plan is to give Americans the choice to keep their local income tax rate or to switch to a 20% flat-rate. Perry's proposal, lowers the corporate tax rate from 35% to 20% and eliminates the estate tax His plan includes provisions for taxpayers to maintain their deductions for mortgage interest and charitable donations.
    I'm not a huge fan of Rick Perry, and I don't think his plan to reduce the amount of tax paperwork and the percentage paid is a great plan to get this nation out of debt.

    Newt Gingrich former Speaker of the House of Representatives has a strategy to balance the budget, pay down the debt, and create jobs.
    He knows what he wants to do to better our Nation. He wants to keep our Nations safe by our timeless American principles.
    I think he would be a great president because he sticks to his facts and knows how he wants to better the United States.

    Rick Perry recently came out with his own tax plan and announced it early Tuesday morning. Along with this plan Rick Perry plans to eventually make a constitutional amendment for this plan. Perry says that right now his plan is the best for America and should be implemented.

    Mitt Romney was invited to Sioux Falls to speak this past Thursday. Romney, a republican, didn't pass up the opportunity. He came to Sioux Falls,but not to speak about politics. In fact, he just came to talk about business.

    I think this is great because South Dakotans need to learn about business as much as possible. As a whole, I respect Romney for taking the time to come, but I would personally not vote for him.

    Ron Paul gained more than $2.75 million dollars from supporters dubbed "Black This Out." The fundraser began at midnight o October 19th and finished October 24th at noon. This shows that he has some major support from his followers even in this economy.

    Mitt Romney is changing his mind and going back and fourth on a lot of issues I think that is bad because a person in charge should stick to what they think is right and not constantly changing things

    This article talked about how Cain was upset about being attacked. He was being attacked on the bill he would want passed when he first becomes president. This bill is the 9-9-9 tax plan. He said that they don't have proof of why this won't work. In his mind he knows how it will turn it.

    I feel that he had a right to get upset but not how far he took it. He was being rude during the debate to the other. He was being attacked but that was way tk far. In the article he said something about payback. I feel that that's not needed for old they all are

  15. Rick Perry shook up his struggling presidential campaign Monday, hiring four veteran Republican political operatives in hopes of regaining momentum in the race for his party's 2012 nomination. This is the same man who won the Champain for Bush eight years ago.

    The severe economic crisis America has experienced over the past several years, including growing inflation, rising gas prices, trillion-dollar budget deficits, immoral bailouts, and the ever-declining value of the dollar, is just the tip of the iceberg if our nation does not immediately change course.

    As Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann left for Iowa yesterday afternoon (for the 20th time this year) to attend the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition scheduled for tonight, she was presented with the shocking news that her entire New Hampshire campaign team have resigned.

    The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign announced the release of Dr. Paul’s “Plan to Restore America,” an ambitious federal government spending, tax and reform blueprint that as President he will implement.

    The plan, authored by Paul’s campaign staff at his direction, promises to restore the federal government to its former Constitutionally-limited, smaller-government and less-burdensome place. The plan cuts $1 trillion in federal spending during the first year of a Paul Presidency and delivers a balanced budget in year three of a Paul Presidency.

    Herman Cain is ahead of Romney in virtually all of the polls conducted in the past two weeks. In both Iowa and nation-wide Cain leads Romney by 30% to 22%,according to Public Policy Polling, a respected pollster. Meanwhile the latest NBC-Marist poll puts Cain ahead of Romney in South Carolina by 30%-26%, and shows Cain and Romney neck-and-neck in Florida. Cain leads in Ohio by 15%, and in Hawaii by 12%. Only in New Hampshire does Romney stubbornly hold a solid double-digit lead (15%).

    This article is about Obama on the jay lenno show calling the GOP race a reality show and that he will watch the race when almost everyone is voted off the island. Then he goes on to talk about Halloween at the whit house and how it is going to get egged if michell keeps handing out raisins and other non candies.
    I think the president is right about the debate being childish right now and I like how he showed his lighter side by talking about Halloween.

    So far President Obama has 23million supporters on facebook(which is 10 times the supporters of all the GOP canidates combined)and is gathering facts from his supporters. He is the only canidate who has large team of data analyisists working on hardcore facts which no GOP canidate has been doing.

    Cain and Perry are fighting for who's tax reform plan will better America. Cain's 9-9-9 plan is a 9% federal income tax, 9% corporate rate, and 9% national sales tax. In contrast, Perry's 20-20-0 plan is a 20% federal income tax, 20% corporate tax rate, and no national sales tax, but Perry is allowing individuals to keep the current tax system if they prefer.

    Looking straight into the camera for much of his ad, Rick Perry pledges to create two and a half million jobs and touts his Texas record in his first paid commercial buy which began Wednesday.

    The spot, part the Texas governor's effort to jump start his languishing Republican presidential bid, will air statewide in Iowa on commercial and cable television.

    This is a story about a school putting on a veterans day event like we do as our school and it outlines some important things to remember on veterans day.


    It is good we give so much back to the veterans who need all we can give because without them we would not be able to live the way we do. the soldiers are not the one to be mad at for the war so thank them for keeping us safe.
