she was never going to go all the way.. she'd lose every state.. Obama would kill her in debates

Rick Perry isn't the guy for the job... I think Romney has the best chances

I don't know why they (the pundents) don't see it too, Romney made the strongest showing, Rick Perry NO.

Ed is soooooooooo fucking clueless.. lol

And *wow* at the crowd clapping for the amount of death row inmates killed in TX.. :sigh:

Each death penalty case in Texas costs taxpayers about $2.3 million. That is about three times the cost of imprisoning someone in a single cell at the highest security level for 40 years. ("Executions Cost Texas Millions," Dallas Morning News, March 8, 1992).

SPEND MORE!! CUT PUBLIC PROGRAMS

Fact-checking the Reagan Library debate

By Bill Adair

Published on Wednesday, September 7th, 2011 at 10:11 p.m.

Related rulings:

The Massachusetts health care plan "dealt with 8 percent of our population," far less than the "100 percent of American people" affected by President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Mitt Romney, Monday, September 5th, 2011.

Ruling: Pants on Fire! | Details

Scientists are "questioning the original idea that man-made global warming is what is causing the climate to change. … (It is) more and more being put into question."

Rick Perry, Wednesday, August 17th, 2011.

Ruling: False | Details

Says the state's Medicaid waiver proposal "has languished in a file cabinet at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for more than two years."

Rick Perry, Sunday, December 19th, 2010.

"Social Security is indeed a Ponzi scheme."

Rick Perry, Monday, November 8th, 2010.

Ruling: False | Details

Says his executive order requiring young girls to be vaccinated against HPV wasn't mandatory.

Rick Perry, Friday, January 29th, 2010.

Ruling: Mostly False | Details

Eight Republican candidates took part part in the debate at the Reagan Library.

The big topic at the Republican debate at the Reagan Library on Sept. 7, 2011, was jobs.

U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann said that the new "Obamacare" health care law was a key factor in the economy and was forcing many business owners to eliminate jobs. "Obamacare is killing jobs. We know that from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office," she said.

We checked that claim when she said in June that the CBO had said the health care law "will kill 800,000 jobs." We rated that Mostly False.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry spoke of his frustration with the federal government failing to approve a request from Texas for health care flexibility. He was likely referring to a request for a Medicaid waiver. When he claimed in December it had languished for two years, PolitiFact Texas rated it Pants on Fire.

Mitt Romney said his health care bill affected 8 percent of Massachusetts residents while Obama's affected 100 percent. We've rated that one Pants on Fire!

Perry said he stood by his claim that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. "That is what it is," he said. PolitiFact Texas examined that claim and rated it False.

When Perry was criticized for issuing an executive order for an HPV vaccination, he responded by saying it included "an opt-out." PolitiFact Texas checked a similar claim when he said it wasn't mandatory and rated it Mostly False.

Perry said that President Barack Obama was out of touch with the need for more border security by citing comments Obama made during a visit last spring to El Paso, Texas. When Perry said last month that Obama said the border cities were the safest they had been in history, we rated in Mostly True.

Perry repeated a claim he has made questioning whether there is scientific consensus on climate change. We explored that last month and rated it False.

We are checking more claims from the debate and will be posting them here Thursday.
