Newt is unprincipled , a serial cheater and I don’t trust him. His answers and comments tonight were not convincing but because Mitt came off poorly the media will say Newt won. The media want Newt as nominee because he is target rich for Obama and his useful idiots.

LOL.... I have not only rocked some, I’ve sunk a few.

I think Romney’s approach would be quit boring, at least for this 63 year old guy. ;>)

Palin’s Sun Tzu strategy worked well tonight! She’s almost got it clinched!

You don’t “negotiate” with people like the Pali’s, who have no interest in negotiating. You dictate terms, then you ENFORCE THEM.

Really? Exactly how would you dictate terms and to whom? And how would you enforce them?

Romney would parse everything so he can never be accused of making a mistake Do you notice that, also? And he ends up saying nothing!! And you don't know what it is like to be poor unless you have been - not by his parents telling him about it. He's repulsive.

True he still has his voice. But politically he's a nightmare from what I hear.

Ah, well, you obviously can see into her soul.
Perhaps. Bottom line: she did pretty well tonight and she gave a nod to Cain, who was a breath of fresh air.

Well, thank God I don’t have to think like “the rest of the country” nor ask their permission to like something. :)

Not when they recall that she was the one who turned 999 into 666, and now she has the audacity to promote herself with it.

Intermediary assumes a situation can be resolved. The Pallestinieans will not even acknowledge Israel’s right to exist! How do you “negotiate” with that as a stipulation?

Exactly!

Barry Obabma would make mimncemeat out of Perry.

Obama is all talk and no action. Obama is SO finished.

>>Sawyer does sounds as if she’s been nipping<<....That was my thought exactly!

Probably was, she had to brace up before the debate to even be in the same room with a herd of conservative Republicans...then, during each commercial break, she had to go get a refill.

It’s a tought call. Usually a VP pick has more to do with carrying a “must have” state,FLa.,Ohio,etc. but you never know.

Agreed. But if the goal is to get Obama out of office, then it is probably something you ought to consider.

That’s your opinion. You can’t really now what is in a person’s heart.

Fairly or unfairly I think Perry has been really demonized by the msm on his errors. I think it has really hurt his chances.

Don't worry about Perry. 11 years with the Left going after him, the Libertarians going after him, and the Bush/Rove/Hutchison wing of the Republican Party going after him, none of them have been able to take him out. If his own party can't get him, the Left doesn't have a shot.
