Hmmmmm...what is the symbolism of the broken flag backdrop?
I hate that MSNBC is hosting this. Why did they agree to it??
Just poured a glass of my homemade hard cider 2008. Like wine it ages very well.
Good evening everyone...looking forward to this debate.
Fineman needs a barrette for his hair.
While I agree we should focus on ridiculing the left....it’s ok to laugh once in a while and have a little fun.
That said...I fully support ridiculing RINOS, of which there are many in tonights debate. IMO
That’s gotta be smooth! WOW!
Good evening to you, too.
I can’t believe I’m going to watch MSNBC. Hope my cable carrier still carriers it! ;^D
Ron Paul’s ad was cutthroat.
More amusing? That was really quite a stupid “game” someone came up with. I hope it wasn’t you.
add: everytime Ron Paul spews the “neo-con” pejorative.
RuPaul is a character!
“Yup. I’ve been wondering why any of them would agree to a “debate” where all the questions will just be designed to ridicule them.”
Maybe our guys should just disregard the question & make a statement - either on the same topic or a related one. Use the moderator as a simple “start talking/stop talking” device. It would certainly drive them crazy! :-)
You beat me to it on that Ron Paul add. Stupid and tasteless crap
Same here. Imagine Democrats agreeing to let FOX NEWS host one of the their debates. Would be a cold day in hell before that happens.
Let’s get ready to rumble!
Don’t sip too much of it... you might not make it through the debate.
I found Yahn Paul's commercial laughable.
