Correction:
Don’t flame me. I just remembered who the crazy governor was at the time of Katrina. Blanco biatch
If not for that corrupt government those levies would have been re-inforced.
Huh? Umm ... you know Perry thinks man-caused global warming is bogus, right?
I was pleased to read that Jindal was endorsing Perry. He’s a good man to have on Perry’s team!
That’s a shame that a typo,mispell makes us all get flameproof vests on.I didn’t even see your mistake.
Don’t forget mayor Nagin and his chocolate city.
I know it seems ridiculous - but Bachman lost her momentum when she wished Elvis ‘Happy Birthday’ on the 34th anniversary of his death.
Elvis Presley fans span the ages - from 20 to 80. They vote too;)
lol...well it was a stupid mistake. How in the world could anyone forget the characters in the Katrina debacle? Thank you for your graciousness.
Nagan...pffft. He’s now an expert on hurricanes isn’t he? /s
Indeed!
I expect the same eight next Thursday unless Sarah Palin announces.
(CNN's stream is glitchy.)
It seems pretty empty in here right now for a live thread
For anyone without television. . .watch the debate at this CNN webpage. . .streaming live now. . .
(Click on the small picture titled “Live: CNN Tea Party Debate” or on the words “Launch Live Player”. . . then there’s a 30-second commercial. . . then a pop-up window for which I clicked “No” for the “Adobe Flash Player Enhancement”. Then to the live debate!)
Note: CNN’s live player seems to be taking forever to load right now. So here’s another link that is working now. . .

Won’t be watching this one...we just had a debate last week and the questions will all be gotcha types etc. PUKE on CNN anyway.
Cubs are on, MNF is on...much more entertaining.
HI, HI. Hi. I think Wolf Blizter is the lone nod for this.
I had almost given up hope that FR would be back in time.
HI, HI. Hi. I think Wolf Blizter is the lone mod for this.
CNN playing the same game as MSNBC trying to pump up Huntsman acting as if he’s running fourth after (this order) Romney, Perry, Bachmann.
Good Lord.
CNN over dramatizing the start of this debate.
That CNN intro was disgusting. Cain is a “pizza executive”? The pic of Bachmann made her look 90 years old. Perry was bending forward and his face was distorted. Awful. I hate CNN.
Jindal was nobody after Katrina...Blanco wuz Guv....that being said, you need to educate yourself about Bobby’s “accomplishments”. You will not be impressed.
I’m all in.
