Only to a third grade student.
I agree with everything you said with exception of MB supporting Palin.
Yes she will finally endorse Palin in the general, but only because she will have no choice, but I do not see her supporting Sarah in the primaries at all
Amen!!
I love FR, but preaching to the choir is not much fun.
Point that out to a citizen who never heard that before and watch them be shocked.
Thanks Condi, I almost forgot the great film for a second, that`s going to be a game changer. Now I can go to sleep in peace
There won’t be a ‘real debate’ until SARAH PALIN takes the stage! Period!
What all of you saw tonite is just the ‘warm up act’!
The MAIN EVENT is yet to start!

I bet he gets teleprompter with him at debates with the republican nominee.
Some Libertarians are pro choice. Ron Paul is pro life.
Libertarians, as I understand it, would might want state laws to be removed, of Federal Laws legalizing certain things, removing state laws. Ron Paul just wants to remove the Federal Laws.
The dems did that all the time when they were the majority in the house.
Like has been mentioned quite a bit lately, the next President can just grant waivers to everyone and that would take care of it.
You hate Sarah Palin, we all know that, so for sure you are in agreement with the CNN/MSNBC folks
In comparison to my expectations...
You could be right.
You of course were 100% right in the areas you agreed with me!
LOL!
She lived down to mine.
Wrong Suess character.
Should be “The Brat In The Hat”... /g
Let me tell you something since you don’t know me. Had Sarah Palin been on that stage tonight and screwed up, as much as I like her, I would have said so. I can be honest even when I don’t like having to eat crow. If you read my previous posts, you MIGHT have seen that if I was judging this debate HONESTLY, strictly on my CONSERVATIVE principles, which you (and others,) are NOT, my winner would have been Santorum hands down. How is that having anything to do with promoting Sarah Palin? I didn’t even bring up Palin. Others did. Which says alot...FOR Palin.
Our presence isn’t supposed to make friends, we are furthering the Arab Spring premise.
Yeah, I remember last time when Fred Thompson was the only one to refuse to do some trick the moderator had dreamed up.
They should just give him an ‘are you serious’ look and say nothing.
My prediction.
Governor Sarah Louise Heath Palin will announce her candidacy for President of The United States of America between the 20th of July and August 1st.
Oh, and make that 2011...heh
