Rick Santorum

Pawlenty - Biden has been wrong about everything. Palin qualified for POTUS. (woo hoo!)
Mitt - Obama has failed in jobs and foreign policy.
Bachmann - still won’t answer VP question
Paul - can’t pick VP from candidates
Pawlenty - impressed with Cain
Bachmann - thanked audience
Newt - ?
Mitt - economy growing and future
Paul - candidates were civil
Santorum - ?
Cain - it’s not about us but our children and grandchildren
John King is such an ass. Not letting anyone finish a question. Especially Cain and Bachmann. I don't think that is by accident.

The Republican Party won tonight. Any person on that stage is more qualified than Obama. The moderator is an a$$,
Got rid of Romney? Did he withdraw??
And we get you all love Palin and think everyone else is a joke. zzzzzzzzzz
People who strongly believe what you believe won’t have Ron Paul as their first choice, that’s for sure. But a lot of people don’t agree with you. Not sure how many in each group.
Of what?
ALL of the candidates tonight bested the CNN hosting. We’re making progress dealing with the out-to-get-us media.
Ron Paul looks very old, and in relatively poor health. IMO, he was the ONLY loser tonight.
I think all did well.. most likely, Cain and Bachman helped themselves the most.. just by looking the equal of all others on the stage.
Sanctorum needs to learn to speak without clenching his teeth. :-)
The talking heads will try to say otherwise since they have been trying to prop him up for over a year. If Romney makes more gaffs, they will just try to prop up another RINO.
I’m still liking Cain.
Again, Mitt? Who’s this Mitt???
ONe thing we can all agree on is that John King
is a LOSER.
Third time you still didn’t answer the question, so you can’t back up your own words? Wow! FAIL! lol
Bachmann is looking sweet, and talking tough, and come to think of it, so is Santorum. :)
I agree. Even with a lame format/questions designed by the liberal extremists at CNN, everyone on that stage was serious and focused on what is good for America. A dramatic contrast to the one-term poseur-in-chief currently occupying the office.
I just ignore the PDSers,but good post.
