Where is Cain?? Treated like an idiot and ignored! From wolf “jeopardy” blitzer! I’m angry.

[mylife]

Perry is kicking Obama square in the nuts!!!!

[Jane Long]

Huntsman....please sit down.

[bray]

Rick asking for more foreign aid is pathetic. How about sending them capitalism and jobs.

[Grunthor]

I love Liberty. I love living more.

[bigdirty]

Cain and Bachmann getting no time from CNN. Paul and Huntsman show.

[Vision]

I don't know why, but I love the look Romney gives Perry when Perry is on a roll.

[County Agent Hank Kimball]

AAAARRRGGHHH!!

Perry: “That half-a-trillion dollars.....five hundred million dollars plus....”

AAAAAARRRGGGGHHH!!!

Please...Perry is doing great on this particular exchange.

He has no obligation to answer Wolf directly. He needs to get HIS points across and he is doing great on that.

[glock rocks]

CNN will not ask any questions about our Mexican border and national security, reflects bad on Obama. Wish one of the candidates would bring it up.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'

Perry sounds very animated tonight.
