Amen to that brother.
Huntsman’s a globull warming nut. No thanks!
Aren’t you the one who’s always pimping this jerk on this site?

She has a body and face for radio. Yet her voice is for all mankind!
Rush next on Greta.
Thanks for the summary. I kind of reached your conclusions from reading from the back end of the thread.
People who underestimate Rick Perry, do it at their peril. He is a deliberate speaker...as you can see whenever he’s on tv...but he backs down to no man. Even the Zero.
His position as governor is weak as compared to some other states, but he has shown strength in spite of that in the bills he’s signed into law.
Cain’s definitely the most likable one up there.
You must have lost a day somewhere. Speaker Boenar got him to change it to the 8th.
Perry called Barry a liar....Perry had a lot of outstanding moments, IMO.
You are a very bitter person and it appears you care more about revenge on other Republican candidates than defeating Obama.
“opt-out option”
It’s that phrase “we ALLOWED an opt out” that bothers me.
OK then if you are not lying, what evidence do you have that Perry has a “vision of open borders”?
really? she just said trump
(or sister, as the case may be ;-)
God Bless You, CC I’m praying that you will be here to vote R in 2012.
(None of us really knows if we will still be here in 2012 or not. It’s all God’s will.)
Welcome :)
Can you provide the reading public a couple examples of these so-called "kickbacks" from Merck?
