My blue healer is more than Obama’s intellectual equal.
She can't repeal it.
Unless congress repeals it or it is declared unconstitutional, she, as president, will be duty bound to enforce it.
All these candidates will.
“Santorum is doing GREAT on the sanctity of life.
Oh, how we NEED a pro-life President!”
Yes, and we need one with PASSION, like Santorum and Bachmann.
Truth is no one I know can tell you whether or not she is running or not.
The effort to take her out is primarily buy the left since they know she can sway loads of seats both in the House and Senate plus raise millions over the next year and a half.Run or not.
Palin can singlehandedly destroy the left. They know it and they must take her out.
You must be watching the wrong channel, lol.
Commercial break: porn or Watchtower?
John King: Idiot or moron?
How is Newt THAT bad? He’s not a criminal.
I’m tired of caring so much about their personal lives. Life is complicated at times. A lot of people do well at separating their work and personal issues.
Obama seems to have a pristine family life — but he’s an abject marxist jerk.
Whatever — not a huge Newt fan, but he’s a very smart guy and I’m interested in what he has to say.
Yeah, you missed that it was 30 million about 5-8 years ago. That equalled 1 illegals for every 8 or 10 Americans, We hav no clue how many are here today. Guaranteed its worse than 1 in 8 being illegal. And we’re paying for them.
YOur Blue Healers response to illegal immigrants “Well, first Id sniff em, then Id piss on em and cover em up”
I’m just talking about this debate. How everyone looks, sounds, basically whether I like the answers. Bachmann is doing best, and I prefer Ron Paul.
Rome, check out patriot's TAGLINE (hint, hint).
Patriot, how do you feel about Perry? I assume you have a better vantage point from TX than I do from MN.
Cheers!
How about amphetamine addict?
King blathers on.... What an oaf & jerk!
Romney has nevewr been in a foxhole
heither has his 5 sons or his dad, gdad etc
You know, I almost forgot Pawlenty was up on stage.
Agree.
I am sick of the Palin victim scenario/.She DOES get attacked, etc. but she needs a new playbook on that and I think she is moving away from the Victim scenairo,
Perhaps not but Palin and Bachman were the only two who were willing to take on THE ONE when taking him on wasn't cool. And of the two Palin was definitely the more aggressive in that respect.
