No Onyx, it just confirms the rest of the field is the invasion of the Gelded Lilliputian's !!! For those in Rio Linda, that means, Oh never mind :-)...
Everyone they asked anyway. Give it to Newt and he would knock wallace over the head again. Is is a World History PHD for God’s sakes.
Paul is wrong in Islamic terrorists. Suicidal warriors are the most dangerous. Especially if they get nukes.
He also claimed that Al Qaeda were not in Iraq.
Al Qaeda had training camps in Iraq
Yes. You are correct.
I would easily and gladly vote for a 1957 DeSoto over Obama.
Was at a baseball game with my daughter, what’s the score tonight? Just jumped in and seen Paul firing up everybody up.
Romney?
Bachmann?
Cain?
What’s the story?
I am enjoying how Newt has been handling him.
Amen and mega dittos!
Why is Paul getting all the time? Maybe someone wants him to start his third party run and give zero the election.
Ron Paul reminds me (and always has).....of a grenade with the pin pulled, rolling around on the floor - ready to “go” at any second.
I agree with you. Sarah is smart (if she does indeed run) to wait for some to buy the farm. A couple have tonight IMHO!
T-Paw knows he’s toast so he’s just making sure Bachmann is toast with him. No way Bachmann could allow herself to be a punching bag all night but at the same time sparring with T-Paw doesn’t do her any good. Seems to me T-Paw is more interested in bringing down Bachmann than raising himself up.
Because he is nothing but a sound bite!
Who is Andrea Tantaros ???
She just said Romney was the adult the one looking “presidential”
RomneyBot
wish we could start voting these guys off the island....our loss that we can’t.
What a circus! Entertaining but worrysome, too.
After tonight, the only one I could consider voting for is Cain, and I don’t think he can win.
We need new blood. Badly.
Social issues next!
FEDERAL AMENDMENT ON THE DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE——YES!
Fox is guilty of lack of institutional control.
This “debate” has gone bat-feces crazy.
David Plouffe will probably send Fox a Thank You bouquet tomorrow.
