Oct. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Rick Perry, whose performance in a series of
Republican presidential debates has corresponded with a steep decline in
his support in polls, plans to limit participation in future face-offs
ahead of early state nominating contests.

The concession by the Texas governor, confirmed by an aide in an e-mail
to Bloomberg News today, could benefit former Massachusetts Governor
Mitt Romney, who has taken a lead over his rivals for the Republican
nomination in the states slated to hold the first four caucuses and
primaries in January.

"I think reality has hit him in the face," said Victoria M. DeFrancesco
Soto, a visiting scholar in the Department of Government at the
University of Texas in Austin. "I think he has realized his strengths
and weaknesses. He made the political calculation that more debates are
only going to hurt him."

Perry's absence from debate stages could spur criticism that he is being
timid about confronting his rivals. In Texas, Perry had a history of
avoiding some debates with his gubernatorial competitors, DeFrancesco
Soto said.

Performance is just it! They are performing and seeing who can garner
the most votes with the biggest tales. Let their record and who they
represent speak for them.
The Receiving Class, of government policy and Legislation and taxation
advantage, for the last many years has not been Americans. Most of out
tax dollars go to the Receiving Class of Global Business, Foreign or
Global Banks hostile countries and welfare of their citizens and
subsidizing off shoring American jobs or subsidizing Big Ag and anyone
with a Lobbyist, with a bag of promises and money , our economy and
decimating our Sovereignty.
Time for these Politicians to get religion and decide who their
allegiance is with.


Easy...the Republicans have allegiance with the 1%...they've written off
the rest of America.

I think this 1% thing is far oversold. I think the number of people
who think they are actually doing OK is closer to 50-55% (the silent
majority?)

I see a few people here talking about how badly other people are doing
but I don't hear anyone saying they are poor themselves. In fact we
seem to have a bit of a contest going about how well only writer is
doing (yourself included) yet I doubt anyone here is in the top 1%


My point is that the GOP'ers in Congress and the nominee wannabes are
not targeting or proposing anything that will help the middle income
folks. Drill baby drill, castrating environmental laws, lowering taxes
on the rich...that isn't going to lower unemployment.

The Drill Baby comment beggars this comment. Increased Domestic
Production is being shipped to Europe and South America to prop up
domestic prices and because the Eruopeans will pay more. South America
will not however pay more? Oil Comapnies have been selling off and
closing Refineries domestically, THAT WERE HUGELY PROFITABLE, and
blaming it on Environmentalist and Government. The real culprit is the
Oil Comapnies cutting refining to choke supply and maintain and increase
the price of Fuels.
They call for increasing, and it is, domestic oil production even more
but we are not seeing and price reduction domestically.
Affordable Energy is a foundation, of American Economy along with food.
Ethanol drives up prices of both and it is costing us an arm and a leg
in subsidies to the Corn Ethanol Lobby. It is driving up the price of
food at every level.
Soe we have higher fuel cost and food cost to satisfy the socialist
agenda which they envision eveybody in sweaters and on bikes or walking
and Big Oil trying to bring back the Seven Sisters and eventually a
Standard OIl.
Who is Washington or what is Washington promoting??

That's not really true. It has become uneconomical to build and
operate refineries in the US for a variety of reasons. Are you
willing to pay more for your gasoline to have it refined here? Are
you willing to have a refinery in your backyard? No one else is too
eager to have one either. They are lousy neighbors even when they
meet all of the environmental regs.

Did you not read of the House Investigations. I don't remember but think
it was 2008.

You can buy gasoline refined overseas by the tanker load. If you
don't buy it, someone else will. If you think gasoline is expensive
here, try driving around in Europe for a while.

My concerns are here in the USA. Wall Street/Washington Globalist want
us to share all the problems of everywhere else for their wealth.
They haven't made the Bushmen, of the Sub Sahara rich but they have made
us poor.
Share the wealth with the rest of the world/share the poverty of the
rest of the world.
World Peace through world trade.
it is all bs. the truth is raid Americans and their Republic for
Globalist Elites pockets.

I am sure the people in North Dakota would disagree. They are having a
jobs boom up there.


Ahh, North Dakota...the oil shale model for the nation, with a total
statewide population of what, 700,000? In a relatively huge area?
