Next door to Utah. Lots of Mormans. Romney won NV in 2008.
Ranger Rick, Love Boat Michelle and Huntstan need to go like tonight by midnight!
I like this debate better than the last one. This debate is showing a lot of warts and that is a good thing.
Cain just did, but Pooper keeps cutting him off.
Just listen to the whopper the mandate lover just tried shoving down our throats.
Mr. Cain answered your wish...repeal Dodd-Frank. Michelle Bachman — women hardest hit LOL
I’m not a mom.
Cain is for a physical fence plus other technology. Perry is for a virtual fence plus other technology.
Perry stated that Romney hired illegals. Romney, the slick pol, answered that the company he hired is responsible for the illegal employees.
Neither fool will get my vote.
Yep. Real ones can and do.
He is more hysterical than Commodore Bachmann LoL
Santorum does not knbow how to debate. He comes over as too caustic. He is what I would call a P*ick.
Cain staying above the fray. Sounds like the adult in the room.
Cain just brought up Dodd/Frank.
Yes you are correct Perry's and Cain's plan is the only one that will work.
Michelle panders to women.
I am really beginning to dislike this woman.
I’m a mom too. Can I be President? I hate the “mom” thing.
Really? Huntsman is easily having his best debate so far...
Okay but what was that interminable pause in the middle of his sentence?
