Michelle is very good, that’s for sure. Smart, educated, tough.
What book sales is she promoting? just like the media saying she was promoting a TV show when she went on her Bus tour that doesn’t exist? you sound like a DU troll
He's a smart guy who understands individual rights and limited government but he's a space cadet when it comes to jihadists.
This is undoubtedly new for her. ,Running for potus is a true learning experience. Just think back at what Palin went through with McGeezer. It wasn’t always pretty.
Romney is not having agood night-—hope others
can see that he wants to one line his answers
with no real substance. Am not impressed with him at all. Denco
The idiot King should stamp a big red X on Romney’s stand !
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Bye Mitts!
Amen, Bruddah!
They are discussing the cost effectiveness of foreign military bases, courtesy of the US taxpayer.
Q - military bases all over the world, needs shut down
Santorum - need bases to confront and be nimble. Our alies need to know we got their backs
That was Pawlenty’s job and he wimped out. Hopefully at the next debate Bachmann will feel comfortable doing so.
KIng’s mumbling hmpfs over Santorum.
Sometimes I think that Common sense for liberals is a lost cause.Good to see you here kabar.
Newt goes wobby on immigration. Doesn’t want to say - deport all of the illegal aliens
Cain. It's a "mess".
I like Cain.
Santorum sounds good in foreign polcy.
Romney just leaves me nowhere.He is such a politician...I just don’t get sincereity with him.
Yes it deependes on WHEN his dad was naturalised
Must be BEFORE he was born
However there is always Barry...
What has she said about Romney so far other than being against mandates?
Oh no...it's the perfect question. Perfect if your objective is to make honest conservatives look unacceptable to the mushy middle.
Santorum sounds good on everything. This guy deserves to be in the top tier.
Paul's a Libertarian in the right places.
The problem is he's also a Libertarian in the wrong places.
