Indeed I am not surprised she (Bachmann) is doing well, of COURSE she can hold her own — as she has, in Congress very well...
but we need LEADERSHIP - not spokespersonship...she can be a great Senator, Speaker of the House even...
but for PRESIDENT, for LEADER of the Free World?
Palin all the way.
She has the VISION. The fortitude. The EXPERIENCE. The personality. The fire. The savvy...Her speech she gave in India was what affirmed it for me most of all. This is a woman with her sights set on changing the world, not just changing Washington.
Do what I do pull him through the screen and bounce him off the wall a few times.
There’s more talk of King on this thread then the candidates! He’ aggrivating to say the least.
I liked Bachmann’s statement about TARP.
King needs to shut up. Talking more than all the candidates put together.
King is driving me CRAZY!!!!!! Why won’t he just SHUT UP and let them answer? IMO, there should be a longer time for answers. As it is, they are rushing to get their thoughts out — with that DA*N uh-uh-uh from King!
King is filibustering to ask/extend the question about housing.
Paul we keep proping it up
Exactly and Palin would be better than any of them.
yes he did!
King Grunt.
Bruins - 4
Vancouver - 0
TPaw commenting on housing and meddling in the market having caused the bubble. King continues to 'tut-tut'.
Paul says "(market) corrections" are good and the longer the government trying to prop things up the longer the misery goes.
(She's really relaxed and in charge. Good humor. Strong convictions).
Herman Cain's doing well too, IMO.
A real conservative would have retorted to the degenerate imbecile King
"Marx or Lenin?"
As a girl, I can think another girl is beautiful without being gay, you pervert.
I’m just muting when King talks. Makes this much easier to follow.
Pauls very theatric tonight....annoying voice though.
Pawlenty good..Cain trying to talk...If King cuts him off I will scream!
