“Name names. Show us where anyone hate Mormons.”
Look in the mirror.
YEP. Perry got booed again too, during his dust-up with Romney. He seems to lose every one of those.
Perry - Romney. Like watching reality tv.
Cain is a class act.
LOL yeah, but the participants in the poll were Romney Himself, McCain, McCain’s loudmouth daughter, and her dog and cat.
It is biased tonight for Romney. I can not help but liking Herman Cain but do not think he will win in the long run.
Oh, I would go there.
I am still serious sold on a Cain/Gingrich ticket. The rest either think they deserve it or flat don’t deserve it.
LOL!
Romney just said “mine is smaller than yours”.
Romney also supported abortion, Santorum should’ve hit him on that.
Good points.
They don’t “hate Mormon’s”, they just don’t participate in any forums unless they can post HUGE posts over and over with the same propaganda about how awful mormonism is.

Your statement is completely incorrect. Many of the Flying Inmans post elsewhere on Freep.
And it isn’t propaganda, it is the truth. Truth Mormons won’t tell you.
I think Perry and Romney were so antagonistic toward each other their supporters are going to support Cain if their favorite drops out.
Cain is a class act.

yes!
Uh-oh Cain and Romney sucking up to each other. I see Cain / Romney. Why the heck does Cain give Romney a pass?
Please, Michelle, stop it.
Newt is my second choice. He would be so much fun as a candidate. Wouldn’t you love it ?!
But I’m still for Perry absolutely. He has the proven conservative record and even if he talks slow, he gets the job done.
I’m for Cain but I agree this is Perry’s best debate yet.
The crowd is clearly pro-Mitt. A bunch of Mormons I suspect.
Newt is great as usual.
Love Cain.
Bachmann is annoying. I’m a mom, I’m not buying it.
Santorum is a one-note and super annoying. He should just go away.
Paul’s a kook.
Don’t miss Huntsman.
Dude, he’s not losing them. This is a pro-Romney crowd. They are defending the USS Titanic/Romney...
