I hope they fix the sound during the commercial.
Which planet? Ron Paul is still My Favorite Martian.
Oh, I’ve got to check out the thumb. I was so mesmerized by his zombie eyes I didn’t watch his hands.
Huntsman is 10% in the Suffolk and the ARG polls out today.
I don’t really care about how he comes across as long as the good policies are there. And he is way more conservative than Romney and less corrupt (squeaky clean) than Perry. Plus extremely electable. There is no downside, really.
It makes sense to me :)
Yeah, and from looking at him at the debate I think the former guv smoked some weed about 20 minutes ago.
LOL. I accidentally read “Mr. Cain” as “McCain” and thought you lost your mind. That would be a sore loss for FR!!!
Johnson’s a widower after 28 years marriage (to a woman).
I like his ideas too, I just think that they can never get implemented.
There are to many people with empires built on the current convoluted tax system.
Do you have the short story on Johnson? He’s an unknown quantity to me.
Gary Johnson “Dave’s not here man.”
Remember when GWB was President and if you typed "failure" it would lead you to the the White House's website?
Google are a bunch of commie hacks.
I have a hard time accepting the premise that I can't have the candidate I want because he's lagging in the polls. If we like someone we should start working our butts off to get their numbers up. We've proven over and over again we can win when we commit to a goal.
Now I’m feeling bad for him (Johnson).
Is it me, or did Bachmann NOT answer that poor guy’s question yet again?
Good :) Now I’m going to be a complete girly girl and go, “who the hell dressed Bachmann tonight cause damn, she looks bad in that shade of red”
I couldn’t find them either.
I voted, and it didn't tell me I voted either. I'm sorry I missed the "What is the definition of 'rich'" poll question though.
I'm now learning what a "word cloud" is on the Fox News/YouTube site, LOL.
