” Can you smell them ??? “
Yeah, whats more I can almost taste em, you sadistic broad ;-)
and by 2013 he will be ready for a nursing home...his time has come and gone..sad these professional politicians just don't know when its time to call it quits...
inferiority complex. *sigh*
They were yummy sweetie
:)
No doubt ;-)
Fraud.
a) Exactly: Palin has been working on her voice you can tell through recent interviews and
b) There’s authenticity behind her voice...It’s like the difference between Obama and MLK Jr. Obama has a decent voice, but there’s no heart behind what he says. No *real* deep seated passion or conviction. Just air.
Why not Glock or SigSauer?
I have no doubt of that, I like her a lot. Not for President though.
She will be a big help to President Palin.
The next few days weeks will be difficult, because the MSM (this includes most of Fox) are going to say that MB is now the one to beat. It`s a lie from the pit of hell, but is what I am predicting...
For sure I hope to be wrong.
The phony polls will start to roll out in the next few days
Talk about debaters, Weiner is a great talent. He is a master-debater.
This is why I can’t wait for the release of her film...
That being said, you’re absolutely right, but things are only going to get UGLIER...I’m already having daymares (nightmares but while daydreaming LoL) about the corrupt vote-counting at the polls on election day!
We shall see! Stay tuned.
I agree. People got to hear a lot of good conservative ideas: we need to get the government off our back to get the economy going; the failure of Obama; etc. I thought most all of them did well.
I was pleased with Santorum, Bachmann, Pawlenty, and Cain. They all did well. Pawlenty's weakest moment was when he didn't follow through on "ObamneyCare," but other than that, he gave a lot of good answers. Santorum, Bachmann, and Cain all showed they belong, which was a big plus for each of them. Bachmann did especially well.
Gingrich and Romney held their own, Gingrich better than I expected, Romney less so. But I would not vote for either of them in the primary--they both lack credibility.
Paul just takes up time.
There are people that understand that we need to make major cuts in spending, and that cuts in military spending, foreign aid, are cuts that might be easier to make. There are those that disagree with this.
CNN after the debate said that the Republicans were getting away from war all the time, part because McCain is all about war all the time, and he wasn’t in the debate like last time.
Also, these are Obama’s wars now. And being against military action in Libya is being against Obamas foreign policy. That’s the Socialist Obama. Ron Paul is against his foreign policy. You are in favor of the Socialist Obamas foreign policy?
I have. You’re right.
OMG, there’s that laugh again.
That appears to be true. But who is the final arbiter as to what is or is not constitutional? Does it reside in the President alone? Can the president refuse to execute laws because he alone believes them to be unconstitutional?
