Newt just gave the smack down - too bad Newt is Newt
GREAT JOB NEWT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The moderators have been doing everything they can to keep the candidates attacking each other not Obama!!!!
Newt hits a homer again and slams the questioner about trying to get Republicans fighting each other. He is useful for that one thing. Thanks Newt - now you can shut up.
Never stopped him before...
I just noticed,Perry parts his hair on the right side—JUST LIKE HITLER DID!!!
Uh huh,what does THAT tell you?
Auugh! So does Michelle Bachman!
;)
Newt would make a good press secretary.....calls out the press bullshit every chance he gets
Right, notice they always go Perry, Romney, then Huntsman, trying to tie him to the front runners.
“Good for Newt—calling out the moderators on their attempt to get the candidates to fight with each other.”
You GO, Newt!!! I LOVE his cojones with the liberal media.
“Wow! Newt caught FIRE all of a sudden!”
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Yes, he did! I’m no Newt supporter, but that was an EXCELLENT response!
How about get rid of all federal-level health care-related laws and not replace them with anything, Herman Cain?
NEWT HIT IT OUT! YES. The News Media are part of the problem!
Newt killed it. It had to be said. Kudos.
Daggone... Newt is on fire tonight!
I can’t think of the name but someone painted Huntsman in and old Mopar color.
