Because in a practical sense debates are a prerequisite activity all these candidates must go through. One would think they could get reasonable sponsors and questioneers but liberals have successfully infiltrated all institutions and dominate these processes
I hope you you have a HAZMAT suit, you’re gonna get it now for saying anything negative about Sarah. If you criticize her for not attending or announcing her candidacy you will be beaten to death with a wet noodle.
Lord, I hope this isn’t a Palin caucus thread...there’s too many of those on FR now....
That is hogwash. Rubio and Jindal are qualified.
thank you

I’m really interested in tonight’s debate. Should be good!
I have your list blown up and hanging on my living room wall. I’m scrambling for milk and pizza. Got the booze part covered. Will report back later.

Yeah, I’ve been reading the Palin threads. I stay away. I don’t want to be beaten with the wet noodle for even thinking the wrong thing.

Thanks so much!
Like Tea Party Zombies I don’t find stuff like that funny at all because I know the agenda is designed to ridicule conservatives. we need to be ridiculing liberals not conservatives.
Did you see that last commercial about slowing immigration? Chrissy looked like he was passing a kidney stone after that spot. Lol.
The debate will also be run on CNBC, right?
