I didn’t inhale? Wth?
Romney sidesteps calling Obama a socialist, whereas most of the others have called Obama a socialist.
Romney does the dipsy-doddle.
Romney is an ass, Perry is a mule, and Huntsman a slug.I don’t want to hear from any of them. How about a real debate? You know, where they have a question to answer and discuss that question - not for 1 minute or 30 seconds. Discuss it, as if the audience was intelligent, not looking for soundbites.
Geez this is turning into a grudge match between Romney and Perry. I’d just throw them into a WWE Hell in a Cell Match and let them fight it out.
“Perry says Romney’s hard cover had a different content line than his paperback had.”
I own Romney’s hardcover book. :)
“but the actual FairTax bill when you read it is a nightmare”
Thank you...
It’s rare you see some common sense on the “fair Tax” around here.
I didn’t inhale....LOL you gotta admit Romney is quick on his feet
mitt just flip flopped again
I could ccare less what Romney says...what a mancherian candidate he is!!!
Mitt went off the loop.
Good answer from Mitt about Hussein’s socialism.
That’s Myth’s sorry attempt at humor.
[Cutting jobs creates jobs?]
They meant cutting taxes, someone screwed up.
Maybe Romney won’t call him a socialist since Romney’s a socialist!!!
Myth flips before he flops...I can’t keep up!
I thought he said he DID inhale...
Romney is a moron. Oh, and a political opportunist, the last thing we need with the challenges America faces...
Lame answer from Huntsman regarding taxes on the rich.
Didn’t really answer the question. At the very least, say “I don’t have a jobs plan, I have a get-government-out-of-the-way plan. Americans know how to find what needs to be invented, manufactured, repaired and served, despite what D.C. bureaucrats think.”
