Man Federal Union members are sh**ting bricks tonight.... LOL
Find me one comment where Perry said we need to “close” the border....just one...before you call me a liar! Perry’s been “securing” the border for years unsucceessfully....it’s not working...”close it!
thanks.
IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF
Romney took a BIG hit on “Race for the Top”. Perry going for blood.
Superior answer on immigraiton by Michele: the federal government is failing.
America’s sovereignty is prime. Enforce the laws on the books. I would not allow tax payer funds to help illegals.
Bachmann’s done. She sounds desparate.
Ooooh, Michele just swiped at Perry regarding “tax payer funded” benefits for illegals. Ouch!
Abolish 97% of the Federal Government. Also meant to include Bachmann as part of my ideal co-Presidency.
Dang, you messed up bad....it's 23 fosters!
Don't worry about it though, she'll say 3 more times tonight so you'll have plenty of time to memorize it!
Here is a news tip: Romney worked in the private sector and John Kerry was in Vietnam.
She doesn’t know squat about border protection. That much is obvious.
And...
“I was at the Tip of the spear!”
Bachmann’s answer about how much of a dollar a questioner deserves to keep was nonsense. She said he deserves to keep every dollar he earns. Then she turned around and said some needs to be given back to run the Government. Megyn let it slide, but it was such an obvious contradiction.
She nailed that one for sure!
Finally a good answer from Michelle.
Huntsman reminds me of that Stuart Smalley character from SNL...I’m Good Enough, I’m Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!
***************
Peeerfect!

I second that, JR.

Huh, I took a bathroom break and he defended Duncan?!?!
