Knowing how the left have continually conned us, and the get out and vote will be mandatory in our ever growing conservative ranks.
I have LOVED Herman’s ideas since the first time I heard him speak! WHY can’t he have a fair chance?
good.
Cain is scored on EPA
In response to this lady’s question...
I’d eliminate the federal Department of Education.
Agreed!
Newt...excells at this!...so sad
No he is not for Open borders.
Is Johnson gay? He sounds like it . . .
At first I thought it was boos, but I wanted to give the audience credit for being better behaved than to boo Newt...and I decided they were chanting “Newt, Newt, Newt.”
Of course I could be wrong.
Newt just cuts to the illogical premise of the question
Gary Johnson
Abolish Dept. of Education.
Hey, I like this guy.
with folks talking about Michelle’s clothing, someone needs to post a pic of it for those of us who do not have cable....
I wish the Herminator had at least ONE elective office on his resume...I love that guy!
I said the same thing. He must be gay.
Perry is a rino.
I seriously doubt you can even provide a useful definition of RINO.
Finally a Santorum question...
Newt actually does say Obama’s a socialist. Talks up his 21st century “Contract for America” coming soon. Says if we can’t change D.C. we should get buy Greek bonds and go down together.
I know, but they arent getting any pressure like Perry and Romney.
Bachman is getting a complete pass on the pressure.
I’m mean but I like that Newt poked Kelly because she was getting uppity on BOR about Newt and media
