right, Newt is the adult on the stage tonight
Newt's comments on religion just now, struck me as distinctly disingenuous. And he was doing so well tonight....
Newt is one fast dude on his feet.
With nobody there, who is going to stop them from climbing the fence. Also, how are you going to fence the middle of the Rio Grande?
AGREE WITH YOU.
Nevada would be blessed to have a real MAN like Herman Cain rather than the two-faced pansy Harry Reid.
Welcome to FR newbie
What is it with women and tattoos these days? .................................. I hear that for each one the IQ level drops 10 points? Wait til they are 60, they become even more attractive at that age. LOL. Probably Peer pressure and heavy commercialization my guess?
yeah, but why the long pauses in the middle of Perry’s sentences? It’s almost like he has petit mal seizures and has to reboot.
Perry having a senior momment at age 61. Lost up there on that last answer.
Perry is stumbling.....and begining to babble
Hot lights and too much plastic surgery just don't mix - lol!
So far they all are.
Perry is floundering a bit but he disengaged himself from the accusation.
Perry doubles down....
Santorum nailed the religion question. As did Newt.
Will anyone have the stones to segway to Sharia.
Don’t flame me...but a big LDS population in NV.
Here is what bothers me about the Mormon question. It puts everyone on the block as defending Romney. Then when AC comes out and says to Romney is that acceptable to you? Kind of looks like a BJ from AC to Mitt...Oh, wait...never mind
Rudy Giuliani to Romney, “You did have illegal immigrants working at your mansion, didn't you?”
Romney, “No, I did not.”
We can build structures all over the west to detect FOREST FIRES, and PAY to man them, but we can’t afford to do the same on the border??
Gonna be tough, but I don’t want Romney...
This entire question exists only to prop up Romney and make him into a victim.
Get Romney outta here. I can’t stand watching this.
