Go Cain!
Nobody cares what Romney has to say. Not even CNN!
Who is this King guy? Never heard of him.
I totally 1000% agree with you.
I pray constantly that Sarah decides to run!
I am looking forward to a landslide in 2012!
Because it's not the GOP debates but the John King Show. Or so King thinks. Geez, Mitt also needs to shut up and give equal time to the others.
Can’t
take
any
more of John King and stupid question format.
Should not need a moderator.
Give them a topic and 3 mins each. Right down the line then next question.
FUBO
FU CNN
Go Michelle
Go Cain.
And terrible polling numbers among the swing voters.
I’ll consider Palin for the Presidency when she can improve those numbers.
Cain up wasd answering great then gets interupted
Romney letys see if he gets interupted...
Mitty what should we keep
Immoral in hisw view
But what was it we are to keep Mitty7 ???
I was thinking more in terms of asking the liberal idiots “Rush or Levin”? ;-)
KING: WHAT AN ASS.
Romney just said we shouldn’t be worrying about what we spend...but what we keep?????? What a complete jerk!
Egads, now it’s Idol or Dancing with Stars.....
I’m just muting when King talks. Makes this much easier to follow.” ============
Brilliant! You’re why Obama will be a one term president!
Thanks for the tip.
Why are they even answering the stupid questions?
Who just cackled???
Do not let them win. Focus and remember what they say. I knew cnn was a mistake; who accepted this mess for the Republicans?!? They should be removed.
Yes, keep asking dumb questions like American Idol or Dancing with the Stars, but constantly interrupt candidates when they are giving answers to the important questions.
Im waiting for Mittys Q
“Boxers or briefs” ???
How about the real Rorschach test: Gold or Fiat paper?
A couple comments:
Boring debate, no fireworks.
Why are the not ripping Romney?
Bachman’s laugh is over the top and kind of annoying.
I thought was a weak moment for him, but otherwise he's been good.
