Newt asked American Idol or Dancing with the Stars, he said Idol. Paul asked "Blackberry or iPhone?" He said Blackberry.
Geez, does Paul even know what a blackberry is? More importantly, do we care.
I like Bachmann, but that was lame to make her announcement during a debate...... lame lame lame.....
Id give a years pay to hear Cain say “Boxers or Briefs? We are at war, son, Im goin commando!”
health care again
Is Willie Mitty biting his nails ???
Most people don’t know who Ed Rollins nor do they rarely care about what staff say.
Why does John King think that fast talking, like he is selling something at a state fair, is at all acceptable?
Is he showing off that he can read a teleprompter quickly?
I not only wouldn't be able to dress myself if I had done what she's done. I'd be DEAD! ;*)
KIng grunting again. OY!
Blackberry or Iphone?????? What a stupid frivolous qnd pointless question. I’d have told him that’snot a serious question and I refuse to answer!
It’s not lame. That’s what the chattering class will be talking about after the debate and tomorrow morning.
She proved the “typical plitician” by not answering Elvis or Cash. Picked both.
Yes, but Pauls better off where he is as far as the country goes....not as Pres. His other positions are not on target for conservatives IMO.
Why dont they say that OBAMACARE KILLED MEDICARE ALREADY!!!!
Sheese.
He keeps grunting alright.
“efficient” welfare, vouchers...is still a FORCED transfer.
Listen to KING, “alright alright alright alright” in the background. :(
Gingrich is trying to backtrack on his comments against the Ryan Plan.
Oh, goodie! I’ve been lurking and now it’s getting good. Wondered who would take down the little Ron-Bot! *grin*
Newt is weaseling on Paul Ryan question..
