Speaking of the TSA . . . I checked the website today to prepare for an upcoming trip, and I was greeted with a photo of some chick in a hijab, and assurances that there would be no religious profiling at the airport. Great.

[SecondAmendment]

not one audience member in need of a bath or a job!

[onyx]

I concur, but the Patriot Act does not infringe on our freedom or liberty. TSA does.

[dragnet2]

Perry: get rid of the unions....Next he’ll say he wants a big wall.

No applause for Perry on that opening point.

[FreedBird]

NO, compare Newt to Obama. Does Obama look Presidential. No, he looks like some kind of big sissy.

THIS FEED SUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKSSSSSS

sorry...sheesh

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

I like how Perry sounds.

he sounds like someone who has been in the military!
the others just don’t have that edge( well Paul..but then..never figured that one out.)

[Captain Kirk]

Pretty happy now. Paul’s response about sacrificing liberty to safety took down the “smartest guy in room.”

[La Enchiladita]

Santorum is so good: honest, well-informed and to the point.
Why doesn’t he do better in polls?
Hang in there, Rick.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Anyone notice all the men are wearing red (power) ties?

[Rome2000]

Romney's response makes a cobra snake charmer look like an amateur.

Perry spouted common sense.

[Williams]

I agree Newt is the only one with the been around a long time as a major player gravitas.

[imchris]

I love Newt’s answer about patriot act and smacking down of ron paul.

[Jane Long]

... the Patriot Act does not infringe on our freedom or liberty. TSA does....

Agree 100%

[FreedBird]

Obama may want to unionize the military, if he gets a second term.

[mylife]

No Applause? He go BIG applause!

[Winstons Julia]

Is Cain ever going to get a chance here?

[Yaelle]

Santorum : profile younger Muslim males.

[caww]

The feed is jumping all over the place...you’d think we’re in a 3rd world country!
