Most "conservatives" here are for more spending on foreign aid.

***NEWSFLASH***

That is what charities and religious organizations are for.

It's like there really are zero difference between the parties anymore.

Newt—no bombing campaign that does not remove regime is not going to work.

Hope you’re getting Newt’s answer - in its entirety - he’s right on all counts!

Newt really is quite the little intellectual. He actually threw out six sigma as a way of raising the efficiency of the fed. gov.

I would love to see him in some type of cabinet position, but not POTUS.

Ron Paul embarrasses us all in his presentations...he’ll never beat Obama and further he’s in it to just split the votes...as usual...he likes the attention and likes to play the people.

“Why does Blitzer reread every question to Herman Cain like he’s trying to explain something to a retarded kid?”

Because he wants to make CAIN look like a retarded kid, perhaps?

Remember, these people at CNN get the MoveOn, and MediaMatters memos, too.

If Paul runs on a third party ticket, Obama gets back in.
If Romney runs as a Republican, Obama gets back in. Doesn't matter who else runs, the balding guy can't get over 25% of the vote.

Bachman stands with the best of them in her laser focus on the issues and hands on knowledge. Very intellegent, politcally savy, and every word is dead on. No gratuitous remarks or rabbit trails to garner applause. Newton is still the genius and gets out but a fraction of what he knows, BUT, as Newt gains so does his ability for a little overkill on the show off side.

Huntsman, PLEASE, GO AWAY.

Does Huntsman do this with his hands naturally, or does he think it makes him look more presidential?

Everytime he speaks, I feel like i’m watching SNL. He seems like a characture of himself.
