I agree with you...that was poor character.A brilliant man, a patriot, but I don’t like his personal character and for the Pres, I want good character.
Bush and Laura were a model of marriage. It was great.
“I like Sarah Palin, but she will not win over Moderate Republicans, Independents or Democrats that are dis-mayed with Obama...”
That’s the real problem. And we’ll need all of those we can get if we’re to have a shot at knocking BHO out.
And the audience loved Cain’s reply to Wallace.
Newt chewed his blls off and spit them out.
Me , too .
Good for Newt and Cain calling Wallace on his anti-Republican campaign via his questions.
Susan F. (Washington Examiner) is not exuding command of her questions......passive, low-talking (”she’s a low-talker”), reading from her 8.5 X 11....fake.
Romney: “We are a nation of immigrants.”
I am so sick of that phrase!
I would love to see every candidate, when asked one of his gotcha questions by Wallace, respond by saying, "next question". Just ignore the bas*ard and move on. It won't happen, I know. But I'd like to see it.
This is very helpful. A good opportunity to learn a lot.
I like Cain.
well said herman
likewise and have anted up for him
“low talker” they should all be wearing puffy shirts.
Thank goodness they all are Hitting Back at the freaking PRESS!! The enemy in the room!
Sounds like you know CRAP about SP and her record! How's it feel like to look like an Ostrich!
I don't like him for President, but I like that he's in these debates.
Susan Whoever voice sounds like she is reading a book to the kindergarten class
