Was Ron Paul's Fed Question To Cain A Set Up?

[KingNothing]

Ofcourse it was planned.. Everyone on that stage had a question ready and knew what they would ask. Ron Paul just happen to know if Cain tried to 'weasel' out of it there was plenty of evidence. Heck they didn't even use the writeups by Cain ont he subject... Those are just as bad.

Exactly. Paul asked because Cain would fess up to the awful comments he made, or lie and if he went that route they had plenty of evidence to catch him in it. It was a brilliant move by the campaign.

So I guess he went with the LIE and SMEAR.

Two-fer.

I think that Mitt Romney's question to Bachmann was a set up for her to hit a home run. To put it differently, Romney's campaign wanted to give Bachmann a chance to have a good answer so she could win some votes back and take away from Paul's tally. You may think I sound crazy, but when I was watching it, I saw what he was doing. I think Mitt is worried about Ron.

Not quite sure of the ultimate motive, but I couldn't agree more that he pitched her a softball.

First, why ask Bachmann a question, punching down? He could have at least asked a question of Cain or Perry.

Second, it was such an easy question, "what else are you going to do?", knowing she had a more comprehensive plan and an answer for his softball question.

Mitt asked the question of the person he was least threatened by.That is what you do when you are the front-runner.

Do you think he'd consider Bachmann as VP?

What would be hilarious is if the people who run Ron pauls Facebook posted it on Herman Cains Facebook.

Yes, she would help him with the social-conservative base that he is doing so poorly with. It would be a good move by him.

there was another thread on here too that show really the meat and potatoes in in the Pizza Man's book. He calls out "paulites" specifically as 'not smart'
