Yes
Leno or Conan
Rick saud he didnt watch either
The questions are the trap, and stunts their response so badly we can’t get a handle on what they believe.
Now Elvis or Johnny Cash. They are really going over the important issues.
"Republican Debate #2"
Yeah ... Right. Whatever the TV networks say. I guess this thing fills up air time just as well as any other Reality TV show.
Bill Clinton did not announce his first winning candidacy until October of the year before the election.
My guess is that the GOP candidate that will ultimately defeat Barack Hussein Obama in the general election in 2012 will be:
H.) None of the Above
As I’ve said many times here, let Palin get in and debate and may the best man/woman win. What’s the point of waiting other than wanting to keep a cu$hy job on Fox and not have to debate and or take fire from the other candidates.
Elvis or Johnny Cash....SERIOUSLY WTF?
I have an Elvis Christmas CD
:)
You mean questions like that are why King is stunting the answers of the serious questions? Ridiculous.
Ron’s great for getting out the free enterprise message.
WHAT THE HELLS WRONG WITH KING? SHUT UP!
Wifes says king sounds like The Huckster.
“Cain is a major threat to Obama’s image. An African-American who challenges the liberal ideas and can take Zero to the woodshed. I would love to see him in a debate with Obama.”
That would be PRICELESS!
Had mommy duties, have I missed much? John King hasnt changed much...... UH UH UH
Wow, King admonished the crowd for applauding, saying it “takes time away from the candidates.” Riiiight! More like they want a bunch of non-applause soundbites to rerun later.
“boxers or briefs”.
Thaqts the Q for Romney.........
King says applause takes away time yet asks the dumb ass question “Elvis or Johnny Cash?”
WTF???
Eomney is showing us how talks to Obama. Looking up.
“Isnt Romney lying about Bush ???
Cain - good answer on not believing in too big to fail. The free economy will decide who will fail and who will be able to pick up the pieces.
Sorry, Mitt up now, simply can’t watch him. I’m sure he’s saying something but I tune him out just like the usurper.
Leno vs Conan? Good gad. Anyway, the right answer would’ve been Carson.
