Ron Paul

Rick Perry

Mitt Romney

Gary Johnson
Johnson served as governor of New Mexico from 1995 to 2002. He founded what would become one of the largest construction companies in New Mexico. He has competed in several triathlons and climbed Mount Everest.
Mitt said he had a job plan and then talked about cutting taxes. No specifics for him either.
Perry has to stop framing everything with the Texas backdrop, and I say that as a Texan. He must express a national vision.
Ugh. Is this going to be another Romney/Perry show?
I want to vote against Romney.
**********
me too! I want him gone!
Rick’s a slow talker. Mitt’s a fast talker.
I don’t think he stumbled.
Dick Morris:
“Romney is very dynamic. aggressive. Romney’s job answer is much better and more specific”
Brett Beir; My definition of rich is, it is none of the government’s business.
I think he was blindsided by the direct attack right out of the gate.
They need to cut the sub feed from the audience hall. I don’t need to hear the applause that much, and it’s causing a horrible echo.
Bachmann blunders, says the guy should keep all of his money.
this is nothing but a big ad for google and you tube...shut up about them Brett...
Romney’s scoring points.
*****
agree *barf*
Bachmann: “I want you to keep all of your money.” Not realistic.
“I want EVERYBODY to be rich.”
Point to Romney
Bachmann grrrrr.
That is a valid observation.
Federal Right to Work law - great question!!!
Perry is soooo much better than Romney and the only one who is benefitting from the attacks is Romney.
