A study came out a month or so ago that the median wealth of whites was 20 x that of blacks.
A lot of that has to do with investments, home values, and age demographics.
Yeah, definitely happy to see Perry mention that the govt needs to create an ‘environment’ for jobs, not create jobs, and to see him mention that a growing economy benefits all, not just blacks, or whites, or whatever race
been in that stupid tree again huh
It is a perfectly correct and acceptable term.
What’s your beef with it?
Wife just walked in from teaching a piano lesson and saw Huntsman and said ‘what the he**’ is that?
Newt understands that beating Obama is easy, it’s the MSM they are running against.
Teleprompter finally gets a mention.
Score one for Huntsman
HUntsmann now saying the solution is for a president to come out and tell us where we will drill for our oil, I think. The president is going to give us direction, he says. Why? Does the president know where the oil is?
ps. Don’t discount Newt’s game to steal the thunder (from whom??). He’s an establishment RINO.
Huntsman and Romney - separated at birth or clones?
You’re right. That boat sailed and sarah never made it to the pier.
Its “Fake Tan Guy”
Dick Morris just tweeted:
“Romney looks Presidential”
Santorum’s squint?
Contacts
hmmmm...I wonder why (if the stats are right). Couldn’t be because Obama has made too many blacks wards of the socialist welfare state, could it?
I agree...he is brilliant! Could he win the election? That is where the problem lies.
They sure are trying to prop that putz Huntsman. Wonder if they gave him the questions ahead of time too.
I hope Newt stays in through all the debates.
Ron Paul takes a shot at Perry.
