Your post is hilarious friend! Particularly re: Ron Paul. Thank you for the laugh :)
Michelle: “a HENIOUS (sic) act..”
I’m for Newt as Cain’s VP so long as Newt conducts himself honorably and doesn’t absent-mindedly start freelancing in a way that undermines his boss.
Trap question
“What is it with women and tattoos these days?”
I agree. It is so macho. Why would a woman want to look like a man? Just wait. When it goes out of fad the liberals will force us to pay for their removal.
I love this question about faith. And I love they
all respect choices in faith.
Take that all you mormon haters on FR! This is America!
Both of them seem more real, and Newt too.
wrong. Texas is a great state. This notion that a person can’t be elected because of their home state is assinine. Perry’s problem is not Texas but his weak debating skills
washington times blog
asking if cain is being too quiet?
At least Michelle just brought up Uganda and Iraq....Obama’s abysmal foreign policy.
Listen up people, This question on national defense cuts is all about the “Super Committee”
Some thing Cain bases his 999 plan on.
The question on religion was meant to cause a fight. They should not take the bait from CNN
Mitt just NAILED IT!
“Mitt looks like he needs to take a dump.”
... he ALWAYS looks constipated, uncomfortable in his own skin, uptight.
Newt smacking another triple.
Newt — COOKIN’ ON DEFENSE!!!!!!
