Sir? ;-)
Perry seems like a natural real person up there. He does not seem fake. Cain also does not seem fake.
If Mitt put his grubby paws on me, I’d remove them. I’d help him pick them back up afterwards...
OOPS...
The queer Cooper just stepped in it, BIG-TIME...
Gays like him hate ALL religions, considering to be in judgement of THEM, and their chosen “lifestyle”.
Reminds me of my 1st grade teacher when she was scolding me.
"YOU WILL SIT DOWN AND BE QUIET OR IT'S OFF TO THE CORNER, YOUNG MAN! "
*shudder*
Santorum killed that question...very nice...
Yeah....!
PERRY HAS DEALT WITH THIS FOR TEN YEARS.
Americans have been mislead into thinking we are electing a Pope instead of a President.
“That simpering smile he bestows on those around him is irritating enough to make even Mr Rogers take a swing at Romney.”
True. If I was there...
The debate format and commentators are themselves another battle front.
Why should conservatives hand over their microphone and message to the leftists in the MSM who ask a bunch of stupid questions and not only make themselves look stupid, but more importantly silence the message of the conservative candidates who have the answers for America and instead make them also look stupid and marginalized?
I think the conservative candidates with their head screwed on straight should band together and demand ground rules that include conservative moderators and questions that go the heart of the issues that threaten our country's future. They should also widely publicize these demands to the American people and figure out their own live video debate if they can't get cooperation.
Gotta love Gingrich talking about faith and morality :)
The Love Vote?
Put enough Gopher Gasser tubes into the tunnels & the problem is gone.
Hey, I did, didn’t I?
Perfect. :o)
Newt is making the entire media ask how to spell erudite...he really is something else.
Good answer by Gingrich.
LOL! Are you wearing a cardigan sweater and sneakers?
Eaker got some good shots of them as well. :-)
Which is why he's unelectable.
I'm not sure he can read and write.
