Ann Coulter likes Christie.
I left the R party almost five years ago because of the ‘open border’ stance - and it will KILL me to have to vote for another ‘open border’ POTUS - but I will do it because “O” is SO destructive to our country! (Choose the festering, seeping, bubbling, dripping ‘boil’ over the ‘cancer’.)
Have noticed. Used to think a well-reasoned, intelligent view (opinion) was welcomed (for the most part). But not anymore. Too bad a few have banded together (using a well-orchestrated set of talking points) — to silence opposing views. Just like the MSM. What a joke on me!
Nah, you just forgot how crappy he was at the first one.
I don’t think she will run! I hope she does but I have this feeling her time has fleeted!
1. He actually wins but then governs as the center / left RINO he really is and destroys our party.
2. A right wing third party challenger emerges which rips our party in two, maybe permanently, and the Kenyan gets a second term. Likely followed by two Hillary! terms.
Bravo GOP. Bravo.
just read this on Twitter regarding Perry’s gardasil (vaccination)....
@ArletteSaenz
Arlette Saenz Perry met Heather Burcham, the woman who died of cervical cancer, AFTER he issued the executive order.
If Newt doesn’t end up with a cabinet post in the next Republican administration, something is wrong.
Yup, sadly. Romney is a very slick debater able to weasel his way out of near everything. Perry is Romney's real competition, and so far it is clear Perry is a terrible debater. I think Perry is getting worse each time out.
he is the only one who spends his air time attacking zero
“Like Mark Levin, we may end up voting for orange juice can.”
Hmm. If there’s no pulp that might be a good option.
he is the only one who spends his air time attacking zero
Now I know why we are losing our country...FREAKIN STUPID REPUBLICANS HAVE NO BALLS, they keep falling into the same ol trap the mediaWHORES keep setting up!! FROM THE BEGINNING IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT OZERO...gosh, I’m spitting freaking nails right now...YES I’M PISSED AS HELL!! WHY didn’t they SAY that at the start NOT AT THE FREAKING CLOSING OF THE DEBATE....BUNCH OF FREAKIN IDIOTS!! I’M DONE VENTING!!
I have to agree and I really like Herman Cain A LOT... but because of Obama, there is no way in hell another black man can be elected, not at this time and it’s a shame, because Hermain Cain would make a great president.
[Why I paid full fee and illegals gets subsidy, I made a mistake should be illegal]
Did you live out of state? If you live in Texas you pay instate tuition.
Paying instate tuition is not ‘subsidy’.
Bills were introduced in the Texas legislature this year to repeal the law.
Damn, I can’t help but love Newt. One smart and intelligent student of history, government and logic.
Cain is the one I’ve been watching closely because I consistently agree with him. After tonight I’ve solidified my opinion of him. I think he would make a good president and that he is a man of high ethics.
