Yes, see my tagline. Any words of sympathy from The Won about Texas on fire?
That's a pretty serious allegation. Got proof?
I burst out laughing on that one...why did they have to go eat in the park if the supermarkets were closed???
These guys all need the face-time - Sarah does not - once she's all in, all eyes will be on her, not these guys..........

Gov. Rick Perry’s chief of staff met with key aides about the human papillomavirus vaccine the same day its manufacturer donated money to his campaign, documents obtained by The Associated Press show.
Sycophant.
Newt schooling moderator on 1986 amnesty act.
It's going to take a hell of a lot more than some "chop licking" to earn my vote.
The moderators are shutting Bachmann out. Because she understands obamacare the most?
I want to know what they will do, not consensus speak.
“Sarah? Lol...where is she btw?”
She’s laughing her butt off at this line-up.
I referred to Sarah as the Brett Favre of presidential politics. Skip the training camp and jump in for the first regular game.
The way to fix illegal immigration is to ban anyone who comes into our country illegally from ever becoming a citizen of the U.S. and therefore banned from ever voting.
You break into the U.S., you never get to be a citizen. Then the open borders amnesty-supporting Democrats will stop supporting illegal immigration.
Well done by Newt again RE: immigration.
The part where he said “the fence”, or the part where he said “the fence or other electronic instruments”
You and I are the same age. I'm 42 and I too can remember talking about not seeing social security when I was back in college. I mean I talk about not seeing it now...but I forgot that me an my buddies used to talk about that WAAAAY back then.
Dick Morris and the like need to stop tweeting against people who tell the truth about the issues and start supporting them. That's what's wrong with this country: People are afraid to tell the truth because it might damage them "politically."

Sycophant.
[I agree with Huntsmann — why did we spend an hour in this debate, and we haven’t discussed our economy going to hell, our debt out of control, or unemployment at near double-digit levels.]
Because this isn’t a serious debate. It is designed to help Obama. The mission tonight has been to damage Perry. They aren’t going to talk the economy because that will hurt Obama.
Santorum is out of his league. He is the junior varsity standing with the varsity players. He isn’t presidential.
Perry and Romney got into a slapping match and knocked each others toupees off!
That’s the type of Candidate we need...Strong and resolved.
