Bachmann looks like she just came off a ship.

I like what Cain and Perry are saying about stopping illegals.

Condescending Romney and Perry go at it like two high school cheerleaders hair-pulling over the quarterback.

Obviously that sort of thing appeals to some and your post was addressed to one.

Cain just hit the fence question straight out of the ball park ... nothing left but a vapor trail.

Cain has just been parroting Perry's Ideas.

I hate it that republicans are like a bleeding hogs. Every other hog want to take their bite.

This process gives us a Dole or a McCain.

The Dems have figured it out.
