BINGO!
“Cain’s “I was a businessman,” is starting to sound like J effn Kerry, “I was in Vietnam.” Too much.”
LOL; I didn’t get beyond this sentence and I knew immediately who posted. Taped and watching delayed.
You always this easily impressed?
You Palin fanatics are getting to be too much..Talk about cult of personality geeezz
Seems to go back to the same 4 or 5 talking points. Nothing new.
yep
Then you are a moron
Rick Santorum is qualified to be president because HE was born here. It doesn’t matter where his parents were born or if they are U.S. citizens or not. The Constitution doesn’t mention anything about one’s parents. Rick only has to be a natural born citizen. Since he was born in Virginia, just like Jefferson, Washington, Madison, etc., he is qualified to be president. Case closed.
I agree with you about Newt. I think he was the slight winner, but I just don’t trust him and won’t support him. Pawlenty had the weakest performance. He had a chance to stand up to Romney and couldn’t do it. Romney handled the questions about Romneycare about as well anyone could’ve, unfortunately. Romney’s articulate and says the right things, he just lacks credibility.
“You heard it here 1st. Romney will hand Afghanistan over to the Taliban government.”
Maybe a gaffe, but he might have something there.
Give it back to them, then bomb the s*** out of them again.
Dont think they’ll mess with us after that.
Find the letter and read it. In the letter, Jefferson is trying to reassure the Minister that the Constitution sets up a wall of separation between Church and State in order to protect the rights of everyone to freely practice their religion.
The left in this country have completely reversed Jefferson's meaning.
Should stick to running for a Senate position! Seriously! And she is digging herself a BIG HOLE if she’s going with the subtle, back-handed, Ed Rollins style “tear down Palin” strategy.
IT will oh so totally backfire...
I’m laughing at the Palinista’sBusted!
How very pissantian of you.
No to mention quite a few other ex-FR posters who used that derogatory term for those that support Governor Palin.
BTW nice use of the apostrophe.
Can’t stand HER voice?
How about Palin with that gosh golly gee willikers thing going on..Love her politics but she sounds like a 3rd grade teacher when she talks..

____________________________________________
Oh yes it does matter
If his parentsa were not born in the US or American citizens at the time of his birth he is not eligible
Barrys father was not an American citizen when he was born so Barry is not eligible to be POTUS
I thought Backmann's performance was Bush League. Not surprising that CNN would pit her against Palin.
Newt was @ one time a strong conservative voice sadly I believe the media attention then his immorality issues with his marriage clouded his judgement. He became somewhat narcissistic.
And John King is a giant douche.
Agree with you. Too much make, fake eyelashes.
