Paul was good on eminent domain.
“I’m impressed with Gingrich on immigration.”
Are you serious?
FUNG!
Romnmey says DADT should’ve been kept in place until the wars are over- weak, weak, and weak.
Thank you. I agree. I'm hearing a lot of good conservative answers and ideas tonight.
King: starts with his “all right - all right” after the first WORD of the response is being uttered.
But — he lets the CNN reporters questions be aired, WITHOUT even a ‘whisper’ of interruption. Dead silence, then.
Gingrich was good on this
I am Baroque (because I have no Monet) but I’d text 100 bucks to Cain right now if I could.
Surprised that Newt’s most impassioned response so far has been about immigration.
On to energy.
Every one a giant of intellect and civic virtue compared to Obama, the self-indulgent fraud, hater and conman.
Romnmey says DADT should’ve been kept in place until the wars are over- weak, weak, and weak.
Wow! Me too. Very surprised.
Romney has property in NH
Hes a hometown boy
That’s such a non-story that no one cares about anymore. Boy for as tough as Palin supposedly is her supporters sure spend a lot of time whining about how she’s being treated. Her supporters need to quit playing the victim card.
Everybody up there is more than Obama’s intellectual equal.
Erroneous assumption: Obama is an intellectual.
Question about energy independence.
[That question has been asked every election since Nixon was in office. Once elected, the politicians revert to the status quo, and energy independence gets kicked down the road.]
Just want to thank those who are making honest comments for their efforts.
Paul is always good on these kind of domestic topics. Foreign policy is a bit muddy.
Ethonel
watch them not ask romney just like they skippe3d him on illegal aliens
On to GLOBAL WARMING
:)
Sounded to me like he’s for Amnesty.
They learned it from her.
