I’ll confess: I had an orange Gremlin! haha and my Dad had a blue one. I drove that sucker for 10 years and never changed the oil once.
Sure it did - same as when Mitt said it to Perry. /s
I agree. Go Inculcation!
Bachmann gave the right answer on the 14th amendment
Only people “subject to our jurisdiction” are entitled to birthright citizenship, this can be and should be fixed legislatively to solve the anchor baby problem
They need to change the debate foremat. Each debate should be on a single issue. There is no way to vet a candidate on any given issue with a 30-60 second comment.
Santorum hit that on out of the park on the Latino’s and faith.
Repeal the 14th Amendment—Bachmann doing a good job of explaining Anchor Babies. It should be done Legislatively—well done answer—not changing the Constitution.
Bachmanm doing well. Santorum just gave a great answer on family being the center.
Good thing he’s standing behind a podium then!
But yeah, he ate his spinach this morning.
The Feds are responsible for border security. We in Texas have done our best to supplement the Federal effort, but we aren’t and can’t be in charge of the border.
Is ‘Anchor Baby’ handle available on FR?
My thoughts as well. And yes, Cain is certainly getting the "front-runner treatment."
I still think that Gingrich would make a great press secretary.
True enough LoL
“a ROMNEY AUDIENCE.”
In Las Vegas?
Not exactly RINO country...
Bachman is the only one who hits the mark head on ANCHOR BABIES.
Perry looking very strong tonight...
OMG has learned how debate !
“At least I did not have to hear about her 28 foster kids ...”
YET.
Michelle B addressing “anchor babies”...why do I expect her to state “I have 28 anchor babies...”?
I agree with Ron Paul...why do we worry more about the Afghan Pakistan border than our border with Mexico?
No one EVER talks about pulling welfare benefits from illegals in a specific way. They talk about penalizing employers, but NEVER about illegals sauntering into this country and obtaining every available benefit, as well as SNEAKING in to vote. It ALL needs to stop, in addition to building any sort of fence.
Dry up the benefits!!
