Bachman and Pawlenty fell into Wallace’s trap. Newt saved the night.
Me too.
Cain gets better and better. He knows how to address problems. He has been doing it all of his life. He knows we need to enforce the existing laws on immigration and gaining citizenship and that will resolve a lot of the existing illegals continuing to be a burden
Cain is taking names!
Newt might make a great leader for the RNC...
These questions:
Questioner: Mr/Mrs Campaignor, you once said_____ but in 2005 you___
Geez!

Questioner: Mr/Mrs Campaignor, President Obama passed the_____. What would you have done differently?
or
Questioner: Mr/Mrs Campaignor, your opponent once proposed ____ in order to ____. How would you deal with the problem?
Where are the questions about

FoxNewsLiveFoxNews.com Live We'll be streaming live tonight during the GOP #DEBATE. What would you ask the #GOP candidates? Send us your ?'s
My response:
Will you oppose any path to legal status for those illegally entered the country?
Yes, good slap at Obama.
Romney asked about immigration to. Secure border, employer crackdown, determine visa numbers based on needs of employment community.
Cain says enforce existing laws, promote current legal path to citizenship, empower the states to deal with immigration. "High fences and wide open doors."
Newt asked about boards for deciding who can stay and not. Suggests WWII selective service boards as model for local decision making. English as official language, attacks Obama's "moats and gator" talk.
Ron Paul opposes amnesty, suggests putting troops on border here, doesn't want businessmen as immigration enforcers. No entitlements for illegals, no mandate on the states to do it.
I like Cain, too. He would be a great VP for Sarah! :)
“low talker” they should all be wearing puffy shirts.
Thanks, that has been the biggest lol of the night. I want to see wallace in a pirate metro-sexual puffy.
Cain might make an excellent VP or Presidential press spokesman
Romney
Wont talk about the illegal al;iens either...
He hired ilegal aliens jhe needs to be cracked down on and out of the race
Cain
Solution
Border
Enforce law
Legal immigration
High fences and widfe open doors at the same time
Newt
Moats and alligators the perfect symbol of Barrys failure
Yeah finnally someone attacking Barry
contol the border send lots of people there
English
AMNESTY for those here for a long time
Ron Paul
No AMNESTY
Border bring tropos home to the border
Mess down there drugs
No bennies no mandates on the states to do that
Gingrich is a disaster on immigration. We have the Rule of law. The idea that we reward some with amnesty and not others is ludicrous.
It's uncanny...
I liked Ron Paul’s answer on the border.
I did not know Palin has won over Independents, Moderate Republicans and Dis-mayed Democrats..Please provide this new evidence, I would love to read about it....
What did Cain say that got a laugh? I had to go to the door and missed it!
Bachman biggest loser so far.
