John King is changing the question to a one word answer knowing that it can’t be answered in one word.
Paul - rights don’t come in groups. It should be based on the individual.
Opinions vary.
I’m all for Sarah..but she’s not there debating....these debates will sift thru those already proclaiming their run...and they will be looked at by Sarah...no doubt..she’ll be reviewing this debate.
Good answer Rep Paul. Group “rights” is a misnomer and dangerous.
It’s not being special, its too early to run, it being June! People scream about these forever campaigns and now we criticized some for waiting
Good answer Rep Paul. Group “rights” is a misnomer and dangerous.
Shut it off. Watching “American Pickers” and the thread.
That’s a pipe dream.
Back to the debate. ANY of these people would be a Commander in Chief. Now we have none.
Mittens gives another non-answer.
But ... hair lookin’ good.
gays in the military
Cain he wouldnt bother overturning
Paw How it effects the comanders
Paul behavior would count
Romney DADT should have been kept in place
Newt How it effects the safety of the soldiers
Bachman Keep DADT
Rick Punish bad behavior
Bachmann on gays was good. She got rid of the question, and then went to her message about the foster kids.
Romney didn’t answer the gay question at all - weasel.
Santorum just gave your answer.
Who cares about all this damn gay crap???
Don’t we have more serious issues right now?
I’ve been researching water filters all day, because i’m SO worried the poop’s going to hit the fan. I don’t give a HOOT about fags and their personal problems. I’m worried about the ability to feed my family, now and in the future!!!!
I feel the same way. If you want to run, run. Enough with the prima donna routine.
Santorum - pro life
ROmneys LOOKS remind me of a young Billy Graham....unfortunately, Billy Graham has more integrity in one toenail, than Mitt has in that entire Brylcream swathed head.
That would be PRICELESS!
I don't THINK it will happen, as Cain has too much self-control; but I could all but see him addressing Obama (after a "too-pat" teleprompter neurolinguistic programming non-answer) calling Obama "Boy" -- and then laying into Obama as a fake, who went to exclusive schools, and whose ancestors were never slaves.
Cheers!
Gotcha questions like? would you hire a adviser who attacks the TEA party?
