I guarantee you that if Palin was there Romney wouldn’t have gotten off the hook all night. What a disgrace that not one of the other candidates took him on.

Quit making stuff up just because you like Palin. She could have been a part of this you know.

After all the Sh!tStorm Sarah's been the center of? And you wonder why she is choosing to enter the race on HER timing, HER terms?

...and you told me you weren't a PDS troll.

Cheers!

Paul is pictured as a space cadet but the guy is right on on so many issues.

OBL is on the plate.

Ron Paul is talking. Says “out of Iraq, Yemen, Pak. No purpose there, our presence isn’t making friends.”

It was Santorum’s grandfather who came over, he said so much in his candidacy speech.

Even without the past shadowing him, Romney’s answers tonight are weak and lacking, he’s not looking good at all.

Good point. Mormons don’t usually serve in high numbers.

I have a problem with these types of groups — they come here, make LOADS of money, do the high falutin’ type jobs ...bankers, investers, lawyers ...never seeming to get their hands dirty.

Then again, someone’s got to pay the soldiers.

You heard it here 1st. Romney will hand Afghanistan over to the Taliban government.

LOL, I’m laughing at the Palinista’s. They are hoping she jumps into a race she has no intention of entering, she’s just playing with them to pimp up book sales.

The big worry is about what happens in Pakistan if we leave Afghanistan. Radical muslims (Pakistani Taliban) with nuclear weapons could be a real threat. The Paks protected OBL for ten years.

Exactly, Newt is a think tank sort of guy. That's where he excels.
