Racist Chris Wallace attacks Herman Cain
while defending Islam and insulting Israel.
Wallace misstates what Mr. Cain said.
Cain defends himself well to biased-as-heck Wallace.
LLS
I can’t stand Chris Wallace. Absolutey can’t stand him.
Huntsman looks so ‘little’ in this whole thing, his candidacy (at this point) looks like a joke! Making Paul look like Reagan.
Huntsman asked about his stimulus support. Admits it failed. Claims it needed tax cuts.
Wallace beating a dead horse with Cain over Muslims in Cabinet, Right of Return, lack of Afghanistan plan.
Wallace is showing his a$$.
Love the way Cain slapped down Wallaces multitude of questions that were full of misinformation! I really like Cain, wish he had the full support he deserves.
Huntsman talking about illegals in the US. Secure the border, but doesn’t say anthing about what to do with the illegals already here.
Chris Wallace is the BIG loser in this debate. I doubt he’ll be on again. He’s trying to destroy all the candidates in hopes to be on the front pages of magazines like Newsweek (and with the photo of his choice)
Really good debate tonight.
Huntsman looks like he’s gonna get the ‘gay’ vote!
Illegal aliens
Huntsman
Wont talk about it
Alrighty then
Wallace hasn’t recovered from Newts comments.
Brutal
Good answer from Herman Cain.
forget wives....when nancy pelosi seduced him into a commercial promoting global warming he lost me. I GAGGED on that one...
Cain is a very quick thinker and substantive talker. I really enjoy what he has to say.
I’m not sure about this John Huntsman I’m beginning to think his sheep suit is made of wolf skins...
Boy, Chris Wallace must be trying to impress his liberal press buddies. I wish he wasn’t on the panel.
Romney wants to “staple a green card to the illegal’s diploma” What a RINO.
