Cain gets the Muslim question, and he gets it right.
You've just witnessed Minnesota nice.
Instinctive. Not an act.
Cheers!
Romney did NOT answer the question of raising the debt ceiling. No yes..nor no.
****
And King let him speak for what felt like five minutes.
Go Cain! Anti-Sharia!
I literally would crawl over broken glass for Cain.
Cains doing well on the Muslim question...American laws not Sharia Laws in the USA.
It was a good answer. But why didn’t any of the candidates object to the question itself? The words “separation of church and state” appear NOWHERE in the Constitution.
Cain is muddling the muslim question.
He implies something about terrorism — how would a terrorist muslim get in his Cabinet?
This King is a complete A-hole ... twisting Cain’s words.
Sarah didn't start a rift with BAchmann.
Damn right. Great job in framing the Sharia law issue for clueless/pc Americans.
Sorry, Mitty — it’s already being DONE in Michigan!!!
PLIN DID CAMPAIGN FOR bACHMANN...she DID NOT get her elected.
Cain, is a true American.
Triage.
Correct .. Ron Paul did a great job of explaining that. Im tired of the the left reversing the intention of seperation of church and state .. nice to hear why it was put into the Constitution
Romney (foolishly) has no worry about Sharia law. He basically said “It can’t happen here.”
Damn, I just vomited on my monitor.
Cain defends US Liberties, bashes King, “corrects” him!~
King: Should one segment be treated differently?
Cain: We treat religions with respect. People in my Admin must respect the CONSTITUTION of the United States.”
King attacking Cain, twisting his comments. Cain interrupted the interuptor.
