When will one of these clown hit Romney on Romneycare????
This is ridiculous..I dont care what the question is, they should be directing their fire at Romney....
In my opinion, Pawlenty is just like the kids we have now fighting in Congress. Bachmann is a bit the same. Romney is old time GOP. Newt is the intellectual. And Cain is the man who can do and the adult in the bunch who never whines.
You should look at the Democrat Party Platform from the early 1900’s, and the GOP platform....they sound like polar opposites of what they are (ostensibly) today...IOW....things change, people change....actions, however, do count.
It not supposed to. This is the first weed-eater.
newt is hot and right
GO NEWT GO NEWT GO NEWT !
As I said before...Reagan was dealing with a totally different culture and generation than we have today....
His fight was with Democrats not rabid liberals that embrace every immoral and entitlement way of live we have today.....
People born in 1980 are now 31 yrs old, this is the *Entitlement Generation* a Generation that learned *Instant Gratification* which is Credit Card culture, they have not been raised by the values of Judeo Christian Morals....
Palin might do well in 2016 but not 2012....
tks
Santorum did well, IMO.
For me, I only trust Cain.
Dang it! I missed the debate. Will it be replayed?
huh! good assessment
Newt is kicking ass tonight.
Yes, gotta say I am liking Newt more than ever tonight.
Newt another KO
Newt +1 AGAIN!
Gingrich just hit a homerun with his answer on the super committee.
Newt is 1000% right on the “Super Committee”.
Now they’re all being asked about a “10 to 1” cuts to taxes. They’d all walk away from it. Newt says the “super committee” is as dumb any idea that has ever come out of congress. Says they should scrap the committee and do it through regular legislative order out in the open.
