omg..paul is so out there with foreign policy....
Pawlenty and Romney both thanking the navy guy...
ok.
Pawlenty is strong on defense!!!Good.
WHAT KIND OF “DEBATE “ IS THIS ? they don’t stay with a question long enough.
Victim card, you must be joking!! How would YOU do with the entire media lying not only about you — every day — but also your spouse and children? Not half as well as Sarah, I’d bet the farm.
What an ignorant comment.
(SOmeone needs to tell Romney, we stopped voting for Pretty Boys, right after John Kennedy)
No offense to any of you that like the man...but his answers are political pablum or just plain crap and the sad thing is, even HE doesnt know the difference!
Romney stuck foot in and chewed ....turn Afghanistan over to “Taliban Military”...
GOODBYE MITTENS!!!!!!!!!! Finally!
Ron Paul will never get it through his thick skull that we can not defend against jihadists by a defensive posture under the desk. Our borders are porous and the only thing standing between us and another 9/11 is American warriors hunting and killing jihadists.
Pawlenty has manned-up a bit tonight. Someone must have told him to be more forceful.
(Answer - King is a total dweeb as moderator. This is really poorly set up).
Certainly got the attention of the uniformed soldier in attendance!
Michelle is brilliant, beautiful has lots of great admiral traits but the rest has already been said. You don’t go after Palin if you are a pubbie.
...and stick our head in the sand..."
From Wikiepdia - “Santorum was born in Winchester, Virginia, and raised in Berkeley County, West Virginia, and Butler County, Pennsylvania, the son of Aldo Santorum (born 1923) and Catherine (née Dughi; born 1918). Both his father and maternal grandfather were immigrants from Italy.”
He mentioned something about his grandfather coming here. If his father was naturalized BEFORE he was born then it’s ok. If not, then we’ve got another situation.
Ricks father was born here I think
Yeah...good God.
Newt is great....too bad he won’t get elected.
Huntsman is a “soon-to-be-candidate”?
Santorum is doing GREAT on the sanctity of life. Oh, how we NEED a pro-life President!Yes!! I'm with you.
Libya.
Michelle says ‘our policy is flawed. Bambam says we lead from behind. We defer to France? That is all we need to hear. What possible policy benefit do we get from backing terror-linked groups involved in local unrest?’ (paraphrased)
OMG, he said that?
