Exactly the entire debate is one large gotcha that is not working too well for CNN.They just don’t have any talent.
Unlike last time he ran, there are now too many strong conservatives on the stage making him look and sound like the squishy RINO that he apparently is.
This 900 bases is just crap. Included in those numbers are Defense Attache Offices at our embassies around the world. The number of bases is far, far less.
Sarah Palin is not God.
I see lots and lots of “I don’t like”. Just remember: our true “I don’t like” is Obama
LOL, once again the Palin supporters show their inability to handle any criticism of her. And by the way, the DUmmies WANT Palin to run, so why would they come here and hammer her?
Mitt seems very nervous — almost knows he’s outclassed.
Who is he anyway? If he’s got business acumen, he doesn’t promote it as well as Cain. Cain admits he has no political experience, but has the skill to parlay it into something positive.
Mitt’s lackluster — can’t figure out how he’s polling so high.
LOL! I don't think that even YOU believe that!
King’s bad speech habit:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hmpf
hmpf
The sound one makes in response to something peculiar that has just occurred or has just been said. Most often used when irritated. Most often a natural response/reaction.
A sound uttered in disgust, sarcasm, irritation, or stubborness. “hmm” + “ffff” = “HMPF”
Thank you.
Ron Paul would not bomb Yemen, bring the troops home.
TPaw asked whether he agrees with Obama on strikes in Yemen. He says if there's intelligence of threats, you take action.
Bachmann asked about Libya. She opposes our involvement. Mentions even the select committee on intelligence (she's a member) doesn't know who these rebels are and says they may be Al Queda of North Africa.
Newt concerned about intelligence failures regarding Libyan rebels and wants a review of our process.
Question about "national building" and defence reductions overseas. Santorum says some based have been closed and mentions our enemies are "asymmetric" so we need options to be nimble. He said we have a "feckless" foreign policy. Cain called it a "mess."
Willie Mitty thinks its 1994 and he is back debating teddy
Same voice style attitude wimpering answewrs
LOL
I know...Romney’s really doing terrible ....But I’m happier than a toad in God’s pocket this is so! If he keeps this up he’ll be out before they even get a quarter down the track.
No way in Hell I would participate in a debate sponsored by CNN or MSNBC.
That being said, where can I get a you tube of mittens asking for the Taliban to take over Afghanistan?
they haven’t seen these others till now.
Precisely! And Im glad this debate is going on, despite it being on CNN with that idiot John King! At least some of the people in the audience will see Romney for the RINO he is (and that goes for Newt too!)
Hide and watch.
Boy does that hit the nail on the head.
If nothing else I am impressed that most of these guys have got the states rights issue correct. Feds have waaay too much power.
Mitt is DOWN FOR THE COUNT.
Cain: this is not a weak field.
