He’s probably fantasizing about which one he wants to come after him.

Mitt is actually pretty smart - let’s not start lying on FR - we wouldn’t want to become like what we say we hate, right?

You remind me of the OWS group leaders with that "we". WE AIN'T OWS.

And stay AWAY from my wife. MY wife. Not OUR wife. Got it?

Get it or WE will set you on date with Sally Fist. She always goes on dates with her five knuckle-headed brothers too.

Im really sorry but I disagree about the on stage is not appropriate.

Why should we not call our brothers and sisters in Christ, brother or sister *on stage* , on National Television ?
I think, and this is just my own personal opinion, that we should call each other sister and brother ***** anywhere ***** we possibly can.
Gather more fish and acknowledge each other as Christ did.

when one notes that Obama has yet to come up a single positive/workable idea either as a US senator and now as president. His policies have been that of destruction. “””

The Dems & NObama have not presented a Federal budget in 902 days.

Does it sound like the audience is booing Perry and cheering Mitt in this exchange?
