The Social Security Question.

Interesting responses.

However, When one looks at the bigger picture of this Ponzi scheme, it seems that some further out of the box answers may be necessary.  Opting out perhaps?

I wonder what Pete Hoekstra or Clark Durant would say?  Shame they didn't show up for this GOP sponsored event.

What about Obama care?  What should we do about it?

As we look to the possible results of next year's elections, the Senate will be playing an important part in how this is handled going forward.  If the SCOTUS says it stands with an expected ruling in April of 2012, it will be especially important to have Senators who are principled enough to destroy it from within the body of its creation.

It was too bad that candidates Hoekstra and Durant "couldn't attend" this debate, as it would have allowed us to see how committed they are in reversing the trend of big government mandates  and encroachment on our rights.  Perhaps for Pete, and his record, its best to stay "mysterious" so that some are easily fooled into thinking he might actually carry sufficient principle into this fight when its time. As For Clark, I don't know him well enough yet.  Maybe a video response by either of them would be a sufficient way to answer?

Less Government, more individual responsibility, and with God's help a better world. Do you have a problem with that as a Senate principle to follow?

Each of the participants had 2 minutes each to answer.

Five conservative candidates vying for the Republican nomination felt its was worth their time to speak on matters of national importance, policy and principle. Scotty Boman, Gary Glenn, Randy Hekman, Peter Konetchy, and Chuck Marino attended the affair, with Pete Hoekstra, and Clark Durant conspicuously absent.

This particular clip is an introduction by the moderator, and a follow up self intro by the candidates.  

If you weren't there along with the 1200 plus who rallied fast with only a day and a half notice, here is a HIGH DEF version of Herman Cain's speech.

I thought it was pretty good, and speaks optimistically about our country's ability to rebound.

After the debate, the Cain train made it to Traverse City. I'll hit on it a little more tomorrow, and probably feed pictures and video for the next week, but I felt the need to get this out tonight.

On short notice, a few conservatives were able to pull together a little gathering for Herman Cain to get a little more base support for Michigan activities. Some of that support is being recruited at the michigansupportscain.com website.  What we thought initially to be a 2-300 person affair, grew in our minds to 500-600 shortly before the event.

Folks, we had well over 1200 (maybe 1500) with standing room only and overflow, including the necessity to not allow any more folks inside dues to fire regs.

The man who would be the Presidential nominee for the Republican party not only charmed the crowds, but those in the media as well, garnering favorable coverage throughout the entire night.  His straight forward way of talking, and inspiring story continues to captivate and win over new Cain supporters every time he speaks.
