The day after we “celebrated” the 10 year anniversaey of 9/11? HUh?
why isn’t Bachman attacked on her no achievments in business?
why no attack on Paul?
why no attack on Huntsman?
Perry is doing great..that’s why they attack him.
This election is going to be about the economy first and foremost.
And he gave a great answer about reducing/clearing out the EPA !
[may be dead wrong, but I bow to a Texas Governor regarding border control,before I bow to someon from massachusetts]
Romney can’t be trusted. He just says whatever he thinks he needs to say at the time to get votes.
Great answer on the EPA!!!!
Saying illegal aliens are working towards citizenship is like saying a bank robber is working towards financial independence.
You can’t buy me for 5 grand, but 500 grand, well, that’s different.
Perry V Romney
The Battle of the Egos
Newt is answering every ? and staying focused
Hate to give CNN credit for anything, but... getting the Tea Party involved in this debate has led to a MUCH livelier discussion...
This debate has been FUN to watch.
I’m sure, CNN was expecting the Tea Party folks to expose them all as right wing radicals. But, I think it’s allowed them to be ask, and to say things that are CONNECTING with real people all across the country.
He is really impressing me tonight.
Definitly a problem.
Huntsman's dancing eyebrows are irrating also!
Congrats you got post 1000 you win a free month of FR and a fabulous door prize.
Bullocks. The State is obliged to act in the best interest of its citizens. That’s what AZ did.
LOL,don’t even go there the clintonian similarites may be more real than any of us know.
I just unsubscribed from Bachmanns email list. She has lost me and others on this board.
Bachmann’s a firebrand with no accomplishments other than being elected, not unlike Obama.
DUH and the flu shot protects you during that actual flu season. That year. Not two or three or four years.
And more people die from flu related illnesses. But you can take one or not take one. You don’t need an executive order to do it. You don’t need Perry breathing down your neck to get inoculated for his pet project.
How do they know a student is “working toward citizenship?” Do the papers have to be in process before it applies?
And when they want to talk foreign policy and national security, which is republican’s strength, THEN they ask Ron Paul because he’s a nutcase who thinks we are occupying countries.
