This Santorum boy is a party pooper!
This debate is becoming a total yawner. Just constant sniping at each other. The only two I think are worth voting for at this point are Cain and Newt.
ditto.
I can think of a few it would apply to....
Just had to pour another glass of Pinot...LOL.
I like his over all RECORD.
Yes. He went national with an otherwise little-known slang term of a certain homosexual sex act (teabagging), which he then turned into a political slur.
But if this is something that homosexuals enjoy doing, I guess it’s another Liberal contradiction why the name for it can also be used a political slur. That seems rather self-loathing to me.
Santorum on Fire.

Ugg.
Santorum-—any cheese with the whine???
Will somebody (on the foreclosure issue) bring up Dodd/Frank???
Santorum needs some Midol , he’s hysterical again.
“Each debate should be on a single issue”
But... But...
That doesn’t allow Gotcha Questions against an unprepared Repub Candidate that late night comics can use to defend Democrats with!
Came late...has Romney been attacked on his global warming supporting tendencies?
Which is no reason to support Mitt Romney. Most people on that stage could beat Obama if that is the only criteria. Surely Cain or Perry could do it. No need to go with a Mitt Romney. Yeah - he can speak fairly well but so can Herman Cain
Came late...has Romney been attacked on his global warming supporting tendencies?
He is playin Mr. Conservative tonight and it makes me ill.
Yes, he is and it’s fun to watch.
Fences work. San Diego proved that.
Exactly.
Both times, as this time, Romney DENIED they were
doing work there.
One of the Boston newspapers bagged the carpetbagger lying, twice.
