Okay... I CAN’T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!! Not going to prop up CNN’s ratings with this horrible format and mod. Cain/Bachmann doing very well tonight. See ya’ll later.
notice how they always put the one they want to win in the dead spotlight center
I guess this is why I am not a politician....I would not only not have answered those stupid wuestions, but I would have said something like “Are you Effin kidding me with this crap, King?” (See....yet again...the spirit may be willing, but I am far too honest to be a politician ;-)
Anybody that attacks Bachmann or Cain is NOT a friend of conservatism. Some people need to come to terms that there might just actually be good, solid conservatives in this race that can deliver the goods. Palin is not the only conservative out there.
Are you serious??? Lame question, one not worthy of any response.
Don't think so...Rollins just told the truth.
Best answer all night!
Sarah Palin is responsible for her even being in office.Sarah campaigned with her fund raised for her shes in office due to Sarahs' efforts! Bachmann was dumb enough to hire Ed Rollins, a known rino loser, and then she lets him run wild saying crap about Palin!! What kind of manager is that?
Santorum just said “let me finish please.” About time someone told that to King.
Paul’s being given too much time...interrupts King, says let me finish.
I bet the grunts are reflexive responses to what he is hearing producers say in his ear.
Exactly. In fact his comments barely made a splash on the conservative sites. Didn’t go much further than Daily Caller and Politico.
Sabotage. He doesn't want their message to get out.
You are the same sociology profesoer I blew off in 1988
Cain - no way to get our $ out of SS and medicaid unless restructured.
Pawlenty gave a good answer on the Ryan medicare question.
WOOHOOO! GO CAIN
YOU gotta be kidding,not here.
Santorum just hit a home run on Medicare. The Ryan plam is a premium support program not a voucher program.
They won’t turn off his mike after he ask a question and you keep hearing him say yea yea yea!
