He was invited once in 2007. Most of the people in the upper echelons of Gov't attend one of these things at one time or another. Bohemian Grove is another popular one.

Fail Blog vids :o)
Time for another round of “What Wacky Thing Will Ron Paul Say This Time?” ;-)
Well said! I don’t get it, all the hammering on these candidates. Can’t these people just discuss issues and try to win on merit without getting hateful and nasty?
There’s a few I really dislike but I’m going to consider all so I can pick the best candidate for the election.
Anyone but Obama!!
I expect that Rick Perry will be just a TAD more feisty tonight than he has been previously.
I hope he figuratively takes Mitten’s head off!
I figured the debate would be at 8 EST.
Oh boy can’t wait for Bachmann to stick her OTHER foot in her mouth.
bttt
I can’t bring myself to watch these debates. I don’t like any one of them. They are all so really really boring. I will check in to this thread and see if anything interesting comes out of this effort in futility.
Fiesty isn’t going to help him. He needs to pick up his tempo and minimize the dead air between connected thoughts.
sorry, connected points.
“How about getting behind a real conservative?”
Who do you recommend?
“How many people here would use heroin if it were legal? I bet nobody would,”
Oops, never mind...
Perry is known for his ability to rise to the occasion. That said, there exists a vacuum into which he needs to step.
He needs a knockdown at the very minimum.
If Chris Christy isn’t entering Race...we have to get Romney in there as the nominee....Perry is OUT...he’s PRO immgration...my #1 pet peeve...
Thanks
Not seen since debate #1, Gov. Gary Johnson (NM) returns.
He founded what would become one of the largest construction companies in New Mexico.
I wonder if he had any illegals working for him. Might be interesting to know.
Thank you!!!!!!!
You summed it up much better than I could have..my frustrations exactly. Talk arguments...I don’t need just large letters saying “he’s a RINO”..
\It also helps NOT TO SAY “I THINK I HEARD THAT....”
Give facts or resources.
Yep, too much anxiety in the media and elsewhere to declare a pecking-order, most everyone is still equals (minus the obvious oddballs)
