sounds like Rubio is gonna have a tough night, we'll see. i do have a problem with him using the "company" card for personal expenses. as a business owner i would have a talk with someone who did that and how it was not appropriate and don't do it again.

hmmmm 1st question is about the people not counted as unemployed because they have given up looking.

i'm not sure how christies answer gets them to start looking.

huckabie....hmmm as a manufacturer i don't feel like the tax code is holding my company back. some of his answer had more to do with workers more than me as an owner.

santorum.....he is right that there is a problem with finding skilled workers in todays manufacturing world. but his answer seemed to lose track of the reasons why.

jindel......no ideas.....just complaining.

It is standard practice for executives and many others to use a company credit card for personal purchases. Marco Rubio had express written permission to do so. He also, which is SOP, paid his personal charges immediately and long before the credit card payment came due.

I do it, my boss our CEO and President and almost everyone on our floor as well. Never had a problem when audited or examined by outside ethics review firms.

if there was really free health care why are my company's health care bills so high? i've watched the costs increase over the last 20 yrs by 10% or more every year almost until after the ACA was passed, now we have seen single digit increases the last 2 yrs.

that's nice mule but i do not allow it or do it myself.

i will make zero interest loans and take it out of a paycheck over time if asked though. unless it is abused.

There's a reason the opening act is...well... the opening act. None of these have a chance of being the nominee. I'm more interested in seeing the dynamics between Trump and the soft spoken one.

I keep wondering if Carson will provide more detail on his tax plan, the elimination of deductions (specifics), and how his plan will generate enough revenue to support the functions of government. I hope he doesn't throw the 1) efficiency angle and 2) growth as a result of reduced taxes. C'mon Big Ben, step up to the plate and show us how the numbers work. I'll be shocked if we ever hear the specifics of the plan because I'm guessing that they don't exist. Any fans of Carson - feel free to answer for him.

we'll see martin in an hour.

so far, i would say these are important question asked in a proper way. there is no push back from the moderators but there hasn't been a reason to. jindel pushed back at huckabie, maybe that is how the evening will go. let the candidates call each other out on their answers.

santorum on the auto bailout......i totally disagree. so many businesses went out of business even with the bailout. it would have been a bloodbath if that didn't happen....far beyond the auto industry....to all the services that support it even down to food services....everything in between.

huckabie on syrian refugee's. we aren't the only ones asked to help as he stated. building a camp for them? really? we are not offering to take that many.

christie......chinese hacking is a serious problem.....all hacking is a serious problem. scams and fraud and idenity theft are serious. i think everyone agrees with that.

jindel....well trade deals are only fair to those who they benefit. whether foreign or domestic. i tend to think that politicians push for the ones that are supported by their donors

LOL jindel seems to be playing the role of the evil mainstream media

man i hope santorum didn't hurt his shoulder patting himself on the back there.

i don't like that these guys can't say what opponent/democrat that they can work with. i can work with mule or at least try 2, lol. alloak is ok too. i would and will try to work with both of them.

i have my doubts anyone is paying 50% in taxes. if they are they have bad advice.

jindel said a 2% min because everyone has to have skin in the game. is he wanting to repeal sales tax? because the poor pay that the most

huckabie and china....pay lower wages and charge less taxes....and people will be better. hmmmm

only one dumb question so far....

Jindal would make a good VP

Yeah, it's usually called theft.

as i posted in another thread....there are alot of defaults coming in the bakken oil shale arena. i think its time to start raising rates. time for a market correction soon.

fantastic joke by huckabie Janet Yelling

cheap money policy needs to end

the VA....i have a friend with a neck that needed fused and a lower back problem and a bad hip and a thyroid that is blocking is swallowing and down to his arota and also amagly (what andre the giant had) and they did brain surgery.

he is happy with the care he has gotten. of course it could be better.

everything could be better, how much should we spend and where does the money come from?

The cutsey preacher with quick & satirical tongue playing to the evangelicals. Vanity is a wonderful thing to stay relevant in the public's eyes? Just where is Huckleberry polling? I'm surprised he hasn't brought snakes on the stage.

VA patients need more resources, not illegals
