and i'm NOT an old timer .. gettin' close, but not quite there yet .. am i ?
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That would be like putting a g-string on a grapefruit LOL
Woo Hoo!
“I dunno, but there is only one I care to see in swimsuit. And it aint Romney”
It’s Newt, isn’t it?
Michele sounding like Perry, now, on SS....hmmmm. Don’t attack, just steal from :)
Santorum...”I won two elections there...(before I got creamed last time out).
Michelle is sounding a great deal more relaxed and polished tonite.
Michelle talking too much or something. It’s not resonating. Maybe she’s talking TOO FAST.
good for bachmann!
she nailed obama for stealing for obamacare.
Did you misunderstand my post?
Probably because Ron Paul is 90% a crazy loon 9-11 truther.
Since no one is held responsible, they'll do it again.
We need to bring back tar, feathers, and the rail.
Perry very good on social security answer, imo.
Right out the box she’s going for Obammy’s jugular!
wow , the first question , by a novice, was better thought out than every question by Williams
Great points.
First: Much too soon. The election is not for fourteen months. I actually read today about the “critical Fall runup” to the nomination. May 2012 and June 2012 are critical. This is absurd.
Second: Submitting to anal exam by enemedia - terrible idea.
Third: The voters’ willingness to be exposed to this sh*t more than a year before they have to decide is in doubt. One way for Zero to prevail is for the public (which has a five minute attention span) to get sick of whichever of the seven dwarves comes out on top.
Fourth: This canned, enemedia driven process favors the RINO with the most money.
Romney’s ready to pounce on Perry about Social Security.
[Romney needs to worry about his own change on SS and his own Romneycare problem.]

This is no debate!
Its a controlled administration of leftist propaganda.
Hey, Myth....IT'S A PONZI SCHEME!!!!!!
