Was there anything - anything at all in the GOP debate
about how to help grow the economy? Create jobs?

I could only follow what others were writing here....no sound.
I did not see any ideas at all....did I miss the GOP wisdom?

2. Get rid of the government, and let business make their own rules
from A to Z.

That's all I heard.

3. no
Not a damned thing.

I was surprised not to hear the term "job creators" repeated on a loop. However, it was a bunch of nothing/same old: get rid of taxes, eliminate the minimum wage, kick all the brown people out, blah, blah, blah.

4. Perry is Slick Rick
Perry is slick, and a good communicator, and though it makes me gag to say so -- a strong candidate. Our guy better pull some jobs out of his arse, or Perry might just smoke him next November. It will be interesting (like watching Godzilla v. Mothra) to see what the Pubs trot out to go after Perry. It's like -- who do you want to win less? Godzilla Perry? Or Mothra Mitt?

5. I have to disagree
How could that candidate that spouts Social Security is a ponzi scheme - ever carry Florida?

6. He could carry Fla if the Dems don't keep bringing it up

Because you know the liberal media will never mention that he said it.

9. Florida Will Take Perry Down
Florida is Death Valley for Perry. But still . . . . he could get 270 with North Carolina, Colorado, Pennsylvania and Illinois, without Florida.

7. They kind of all de-bunked each other's talking points.
So actually nothing of any substance was said. No one stated a solution, just delusions of grandeur with no idea of HOW.
