Tony Romo plays for one series (and he needs the work) by 10 minutes into the game only one starter on the field for either team. Hard to get excited about it, but, as you say, it’s football.
When is Paul going to say it’s international Jewery’s fault.
I have never seen a politician more schizoid than Ron Paul. I love what he has to say about the economy, on that he is just wonderful. But he knows NOTHING about foreign relations or national security and that is utterly frightening.
Ron Paul says the Chinese are more dangerous than radical islamists who hate Americans and non-muslims, welcome death and believe that their God want them to kills us all and if they die doing it they will have virgins.
YES! YES! YES!
GOOD to see you!
Ron Paul suggest Iran has a "rational" reason to want a nuclear weapon because they're surrounded by countries with nuclear weapons. Says free trade, stay out of the wars, no sanctions. Says we should mind our own business.
Santorum defends the sanction policy that he worked on in the Senate.
Cain is the big winner tonight. Newt had the best run of the night. Bachmann showed courage.
(And his followers are perhaps even scarier! Shut those little boys in the audience UP!)
Yeah, yeah, paul is a nut. minding our own business, as washington advised, is certainly nutty
You are so right!!!!
She has to run!!!!
GO SARAH!!!!
Ron Paul is a freak. He’s the candidate of choice of the nutty Alex Jones 9/11 truthers.
I’m not. I was born here, to American born parents.
I like Bachman a lot better than Obama but don’t think she could ever win. Sarah would not have fallen into that trap with getting into with Pawlenty.
Ron is a nutty conservative version of Nader. Hope he drops out. I’d feel safer with Hillary Clinton as President.
Go Herman! Great answer!
Herman Cain +1
Michelle Bachmann is actually doing great. And she whipped Pawlenty at each turn — that poor guy is done.
if he had 2 percent support when he started the debate, he only has 1 percent now.
ditto.
Disagree, he’s a looney tune.
Cain on oil and nukes
energy independant strategy
