“no doubt 28 of those 28 people only know what little they know of Sarah Palin thanks to Saturday Night Live”
Got in to a political discussion last night in a bar, and i asked several people this question:
“Who said, ‘I can see Russia from my house!’”
EVERY SINGLE PERSON answered Sarah Palin, not Tina Fey. Your point is well taken, and supported.
Sorry, but Sarah may be conservative but I don’t think she’s the “answer.”
I think Perry is toast now.
Romney sucks as well.
We need Palin IMO.
I'm serious - do a search - you might be surprised at what you find. This guy (PerryWinkle) is an "Open Borders" guy - and talks through the side of his mouth.
I will vote for him, if he is the candidate, to get rid of "O", but, will then go get sick and have to take a shower (or two), to do it!
Yes, Perry answered. He said he will always err on the side of life. He was lobbied by someone with cervical cancer to see that the vaccines were made available.
There for a second I thought Romney was defending Obamacare.
It’s obvious to me that Fox is in the tank with Romney.
It’s not about Obamacare putting someone between us and our physicians. It’s about us having to pay for everyone else’s healthcare!!
I think MB must have gotten one of those Gardisil shots...
Oooo! Mitt feels Cain biting and responds
While is is good, for example, who on earth wants to hear Newt bloviate? None of us.
But we are dealing with egos and jockeying for VP status.
Bachmann’s forehead does not move. GASP! She has been botoxed.
Also, looking at the outside of her right eye, it also it appears that a tear may or two may have run from her eyes.
Perry should really avoid trying to be clever.
Johnson, Paul and Huntsman having a circle jerk while Santorum watches.
Wallace is about as biased as they come.
Perry is stumbling again..ouch
12 states allow illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition. If the federal government isn’t going to take care of it, states have to deal with the issue in the best way they can.
