FOX reviews ROUND 1.
Gives Round 1 to FOX-beloved Romney because
Romney (having tested this sentence in hundreds of groups)
says that he wants everyone in America to be rich.
Perry is asked a question, comparing him to Romney
(how BIASED is that, FOX?) about social security.
He notes that “Mitt has been wrong” and cites
some statistic about Massachsetts.
Romney again is unable to dispute it, but responds with his
memorized sentence about Perry’s book.
The “bell” rings but Romney is Biased FOX’s favorite
and is allowed to continue.
ZINGER ALERT:
Perry responds with a mention of RomneyCARE
(good for Gov. Perry) who notes that Romney removed
a sentence about it from the Random House (like McGinniss)
Romney book. [Triple for Gov. Perry].
Romney, unable for the third time to deal with
a question in real time, again retreats to a memorized
paragraph about his book.
Ms. Bachmann is put down, but not allowed to respond,
by the moderator.
Romney is asked if Obama is a socialist.
Romney, unable for the fourth time to deal with
a question in real time, again retreats to a memorized
paragraph about Europe.
Romney is allowed to ramble for several minutes
telling everyone how wonderful he is.
It is ridiculous.
None of the other contenders are getting any smack.
So much better than Romney? Are you certain of that? You need to look at Perry’s political past and his corporate connections - maybe it will change your mind.
Stop settling for second best. We have been strapped with the crappiest candidates for years. This election cycle it has GOT TO STOP!
Romney isn’t quick on his feet...he’s just replying with his canned jargon...flip...flop....flip...flop
Just one?!!?!?!?!?1
EPA!!! That’s my pick!!!
I’m not a Huntsman fan but he’s coming across much better than Myth
And he worked jabs against Romneycare in there. :-)
This shit makes me want to cry (course it could be the beer I’m drinking) Like I said earlier, I’m 34 years old. Reagan was the first President I can remember and I bawled like a baby while watching his funeral. I look at these candidates and go, “THIS is what we have?”
Herman rocks
Cain gets asked which department he would eliminate and he says . . . EPA. Good for him. EPA has a regulation to regujlate dust!! ROFL (at EPA).
This is why I don’t like Cain.
We don’t need a federal EPA. At all.
Can’t get elected if you say Education.....but Education....
If I hear Rommney say one more time how he has worked in the private sector...I’m going to scream!!!! He says it every debate...every interview!!!!
Uh oh...here come the pics of the Chilean "model" :)
Yea for Cain!! get rid of the epa!!
Yeah he is, he gets a couple of things OK but mostly he’s looney
Got to love herman. eliminate the epa. YES!
