With you my FRiend.
I heard he is sort of a "progressive" on the BORDER issue... and that does not sit well with me already.
What does he have to offer to SOCIAL-CONSERVATIVES?
Because they had 16 attacks on Perry framed as “questions.”
She’s GOT to run. She is the magnet but she can’t do a thing unless she declares. I’m getting impatient. :)
Or, out of her medical decisions? How can someone who advocates government interference in medical decisions fight against Obamacare? The whole premise of the mandatory vaccination was; “We know what’s best for YOUR children.” As you said, why is there ANY need for a waiver in the first place?
I had to check the TV Guide online to find msnbc. But don’t switch to FNC so quick either. mccain is on.
I think I am going to scream now.
These are our choices again? Someone needs to step up and take on the establishment. The GOP choices that we are given stink. I fear for our country now more than ever unless we can unseat Obama and put an actual conservative in office...these choices...ugh.
Is that what you call it.
LoL!
This was actually much better than the Fox/Chris Wallace debate.
I Agree
[ I guess Huntsman never heard of the University of East Anglia and the destruction of data that did not fit their theory of man made global warming. Too bad he is so poorly informed. ]
He never heard of CERN either, where they use the LHAC every single day either, moron probably doesn’t even know how many up/down quarks make a proton vs. a neutron.
I was pissed off they didn’t ask Herman Cain (an actual ROCKET SCIENTIST) about global warming.
Cool. Two for Perry and one for everybody else.
The same reason why Hepatitus vaccines are required. It is far more than an STD as some claim. I’m glad these folks weren’t around during the Polio vaccine time. Oh yea, they were, they were called Luddites.
Perry said he will always err on the side of Safety [over FREEDOM].
He answered that one badly.
Over at the Conservatives4Palin website, someone posted that Huntsman reminded them of Max Headroom.
Yes, I’ve followed her and what she says. And the bell has been rung as you say and she hasn’t answered. The candidates on that stage tonight have made a commitment and had the courage to show up and express their opinions and be grilled. I’m not here to bash Sarah, I’m only saying she doesn’t appear to be running.
I don’t trust him either. Anyone that would work for Obama can’t be trusted.
