Perry puts moistened finger to the wind / turns down Trump debate

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1211/70107.html

Guess Ron Paul made a pretty good decision after all.

Trump is probably happy. This gives him more air time to talk.

I shudder to think where that

I shudder to think where that finger was prior to his epiphany.

What if even SANTORUM backs out...LOL?!

I say this because Santorum wants DESPERATELY to be viewed as a "contender" and if all the other "contenders" sans Newt are backing out, might Santorum actually "grow a pair" and do the same?!

If he DOES and just leaves Newt and the Donald...it will be a GREAT Christmas!

Santorum is in, and

Santorum is in, and criticized the candidates that refused.

Imagine

Trump inviting his pal, Hannity, to help moderate a one-manlet show with Newt's frame protruding behind the sole podium on stage. Look, Donald, you've got your next star, Newt Gingrich, for your new reality show, "Serial Hypocrites, the Biggest Losers".

Mayday, Mayday! Trump Debate Going Down in Flames!

I posted a criticism of Trump and Newsmax in the comments to this article and an earlier article on the debate.

After this debate debacle Trump’s endorsement will be the KISS OF DEATH!

The Trump Debate: What Should Candidates Do?

Ron Paul really trumped Trump !!

i am loving it, and after Bachmann also declined !!
It would be a debate between Santa and the Grinch, two days after Christmas.
I predict Newt would be coming down from his high pedestal by that time, and i really wonder whether this joke of a debate would actually happen !!

Ha ha ha ha!!!!!

...F U Trump!

The Rest of the Field just Follow the Leader --->Ron Paul

Stay classy, my Dear President Ron Paul....

To be fair, Huntsman was the

To be fair, Huntsman was the first to ditch it.

Yes, I believe Huntsman was the first to drop - and he had...

...potentially the most to lose if he had been the only one not to show, as his campaign needs visibility badly.

Huntsman is probably the 2nd best candidate on stage when Gary Johnson isn't there. But he's still a very distant 2nd place from Dr. Paul.

Ron Paul looks like a genius now because how could he know that everyone else would drop out?

It's almost as if the rest of them know Dr. Paul is the most intelligent and are following his lead.

I have to say that I am more encouraged now than I've ever been that he can actually win this nomination.

And if he DOES...

...then I firmly believe it's on to the presidency!

RON PAUL'S BIGGEST HURDLE IN THIS RACE IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ITSELF.

OBAMA IS NOT THE ISSUE HERE.

RON PAUL WILL EASLIY WIN THE PRESIDENCY IF ONLY HIS OWN STUPID-ASS PARTY GROWS A BRAIN AND NOMINATES HIM.

"We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and overrun by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with."
-Ron Paul

Ron Paul clearly is the leader in this group of followers

"Ron Paul looks like a genius now because how could he know that everyone else would drop out"

He didn't know the others we going to drop out. Ron just did what was right regardless of what the others were going to do. That's what a true leader does.

Your right on, the Republican party is the big hurdle, he wins the primary, he wins the general election.

additional anatomical augmentations

"IF ONLY HIS OWN STUPID-ASS PARTY GROWS A BRAIN AND NOMINATES HIM."

A couple more items come to mind.

So maybe Perry isn't the guy to answer the 3am phone call

So Mittens takes a couple of days to make a choice Paul and Huntsman could make in a couple of minutes based upon...Idunno, a sense of good taste... Now a week later Perry catches a clue...He's not the brightest bulb in the chandelier is he?

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution, inevitable.

Gingrich can always debate himself--

He's had enough conflicting positions on issues that he could argue with himself for hours!

great idea !!

haha, Newt debates Newt at Trump "debate".

That would make a great campaign ad

And insert some Trump clips....I am sure there are hours of video that would make great comedy.

Some of our expert videographers listening?

hahaha

....nice.

Endorsement

I heard Trump make some comment recently about America needing to be a wealthy nation again if we are to be a strong nation. When I heard that, I started wondering if the Revolution could convince Trump to endorse Ron Paul because Ron Paul was the only candidate with the balls to stand up to Trump. Would Trump in the end respect that? Ron Paul is the only candidate with a plan to make America wealthy again. Anyhow, just pondering.

I hope not

Considering trumps endorsement is 3x more likely to turn people away from a candidate than to increase their support!

Now, food for thought. Do

Now, food for thought. Do you think this is purposeful so Newt can have unpaid for airtime to continue his Bulls*#@t to Amerika? I mean, if it is really just Newt and the Donald....

Ron Paul or Bust

Join Donald Trump for the most important Presidential Debate in

"Join Donald Trump for the most important Presidential Debate in American history!"

--so says Newsmax in an email from Patriot Update.

...a bit presumptuous considering what a flaming car wreck this whole thing has turned out to be!

"Cowards & idiots can come along for the ride but they gotta sit in the back seat!"

Ron Paul has the bold

Ron Paul has the bold leadership America needs.

Trump, Gingrich and Santorum

Is this an echo chamber or the amen corner?

LOL..."this gives him more air time to talk"

;) So true.

Trump: Well Newt, it looks

Trump: Well Newt, it looks like it's just you and me.

Santorum: Hey what about me? Im still here!

Trump: Yea that reminds me, Senator Santorum, bring Newt and me a couple of more of those drinks will ya, and make sure they have the little umbrellas in them. Because this is a classy debate. And classy people always have little umbrellas in their drinks.

Continued: Trump: "Don't mix them so sweet next time."

To continue:

TRUMP: "Don't mix them so sweet next time."

SANTORUM: "What, another round? You've had four already!"

NEWT: "Look, Rick. We--"

TRUMP: "Shuddup, I'll handle this. Listen, twerp. I'm the one who's doin' you a favor here. Now get the f*** in the back an' mix up those old-fashioned's. Ya hear me?"

SANTORUM: "Well I--"

TRUMP: "Don't make me get outta this chair, boy."

SANTORUM: "...I'll be right back with your order, sir."

"Cowards & idiots can come along for the ride but they gotta sit in the back seat!"

lol sweet!

lol sweet!
