WHY did Cain just say “I agree with most of what Romney said.”....
I still think Cain wants to be Romney’s VP..here he is again.
I don’t know what debate you’re watching - Romney has been terrible tonight. Perry has been doing great - Cain is holding his own & Santorum has made a lot of good points. Newt, as always - is great & Paul has said a lot of things I agree with & some I disagree with ...as always.
Too late.
HE COMES MR. SPEAKER!
GO NEWT!
LINCOLN DOUGLAS DEBATES AGAINST OBAMA!
Cain's doing well and it's good to watch.
He should have, when Romney put a hand on him like that.
God help me.....Newt is the best debater and the smartest candidate on that stage.
Cain nails it again. He should be President.
Bachmann bringing the fight back to Obama. Newt getting the last word.
Win tonight for President Cain.
Putty: “Yeah? well who’s getting his wick dipped?”
Three marriages and belief in global warming.
Cain - I have experience on Main Street, Romney has the experience on Wall Street
ZING!
As another woman...I look at Michelles performance in the last 15 minutes of this debate and I am torn between shaking my head, and saying For the loveo of GOD, SHUT UP!
LOL! Indeed!
Quite an interesting debate tonight, folks.
It’s time for a few to step down.
Speaking of foreign aid, this is what Omuslim has done:
BILLIONS FOR JIHAD!
Obamas 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and passed by the full committee.
It gives billions http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/05/1...
of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support Sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies.

Obama gives your tax dollars to rebuild Muslim mosques around the world

ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WILL GIVE AWAY NEARLY $6 MILLION OF AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS TO RESTORE 63 HISTORIC AND CULTURAL SITES, INCLUDING ISLAMIC MOSQUES AND MINARETS, IN 55 NATIONS. See the State Department document here.

They should have 2010 up, but they don’t. That’s where you’ll find Obama’s largesse towards Muslim countries really go off the charts.

The cost of U.S. military intervention in Libya has cost American taxpayers an estimated $896 million through July 31, the Pentagon said today.
The price tag includes the amounts for daily military operations, munitions used in the operation and humanitarian assistance for the Libyan people.
The U.S. has also promised $25 million in non-lethal aid to the Libyan Transitional National Council, half of which the Defense Department has already on MRE’s (military lingo for Meals, Ready to Eat).

I would love to watch Newt debate Obama! That would be a pure pleasure!
CNN (In love with Romney, set the whole debate up for Mitt)
“WHY IS NOT ROMNEY YOUR BELOVED, TOO?”
Rick Santorum - “Romney ran to the left of Kennedy”
Conservative answer so is interrupted by CNN.
Mitt Romney - Given extra time since he was “mentioned”
(put he was the QUESTION, so this is a setup to give
up gobs of free time)
Rick Perry - “Mitt, you were 47th in job creation (at the bottom)”
True.
Mitt Romney - Given is TWO extra time blocks
by the biased CNN, since he was “mentioned” again,
so Romney gets to attack Gov. Perry AND Pres. Bush.
Romney gets to go on and on.
Romney lies again (4th or 5th time tonight?) Perry catches
him and Romney is given even MORE TIME.
Herman Cain - “Romney has a distinguished career.”
Mitt Romney - Given an extra time block
Romney goes on and on and given free time.
Michele Bachmann - interrupts and
changes the subject when Cain is
going after Romney.
Bachmann is in “bed” with Romney tonight.
Newt Gingrich - Forgets the question
after the Bachmann interruption and changes to
Obama.
The other candidates are ignored to protect
CNN’s Romney.
Cain is letting Romney lose by his own noose.
Thank you for the thread, kristinn!
