“Omessa”... LOL...
LOL You’re right about Newt.
What’s up with Santorum’s squint? He looks like he doesn’t understand what’s being asked.
NEWT HAS ME HOOTIN’ ‘N HOLLERIN’!! That felt great!!!
What the heck is that website?!! They have all TV channels!
Thanks!
Bringing up the faith factor?
damn! They’re after Rick Santorum for being Catholic. Rotten bigots!
He’s giving a fine answer. He is a man of high morality.
He still knocked it out of the park!
Too bad he can’t be so right on the other 364 days of the year.
“Santorumn ties himself to Newt wagon..”
Not a smart move. Those wheels have a habit of coming off...
True, but does he ever speak ill of Mexico, or attribute any problem in Texas to illegal aliens?
Santorum is just spinning his wheels. I can’t see him as a viable candidate.
Yeah, if only ALL the candidates up on that stage would band together with him and not give Brian Wms & Co. the satisfaction of cat-fighting and disparaging any of their fellow Repubs here.
Williams pontificating on “the poor”.
(After 50 years of the Dem giveaway we have more poor now than we did in 1965.)
Santorum answering the question-—says 2001 was lowest year of number of poor due to his work on welfare reform.
Perry getting stupid question on white for black household median income. Williams is such a dope. Perry not falling for the trap.
I think they are going to avoid Newt as much as they can the rest of the night. Like him or not, he always seems to be the brightest person in the house
Did I see the blond bimbo using her middle finger?
What kind of question is that ...white people make more money than black people ....what are you going to do about that?
White people have 20 times more money than black people? Is that what I heard?
Ditto, that is a good job for Newt. Albeit, I won’t cry if he wins but there is no way he can make it..
Righto! Newt is The Bishop! Shepherd of the Flock.
LOL—Perry refers to “whites” as “Anglos”.
