Newt KO #3
W/0 a TelePrompTer, BO probably has receivers in his ear for debates. Also, he is never asked about his previous statements or his record. “what’s your favorite movie?” are the hard hitters for Barack.
“I really like Cain, wish he had the full support he deserves.”
Me, too. I love Herman and objectively speaking, I think either he or Newt could beat BHO, particularly in debate.
Newt is kicking ass tonight.
(Still not Presidential material, though....)
KAD = KOOL-AID DRINKER
Msm tomorrow: Bachman’s small bladder could hinder presidential hopes. What if she leaves nuclear football in public restroom. And has a migraine at the same time?
Lol, exactly!
Right. Bachamann had to defend herself. Only one that looks bad is Pawlenty.
Foreign Policy
Paw
We were jusified in the invasion in Afghanistan
Still worth it but we must have a successful withdrawal
Romney
We have helped Afghan sometimme in next 2 years we must withdraw The generals...follow their recommendations
Newt
We need to rethink everything in the area
Huntsman: Romney Lite
BTTT
He shocked Wallace!
Bachmann hasn’t been able to answer any questions.
The wife and I only watched a few minutes but it was enough for her to drop Pawlenty to the bottom of her list. Myself I like Sarah.
I said earlier that T-Paw’s strategy is ‘if I’m going down, Bachmann is going down with me’. He looks like an a** tonight, but because he dragged Bachmann in the mud with it doesn’t do much for her either. Chris Wallace might have started it but Pawlenty shouldn’t have taken the bait.
Amen! Newt should be the Greek chorus getting the audience to applaud. I wouldn’t trust him as POTUS to not sit on the sofa with the opposition.
Marriage is a old established common law contract, and as a contract is a form of property right.
What prevents a state Justice Tanney from redefining anyone younger than 30 days and older than 90 years as no longer alive?
Newt isn’t eating any crap sandwiches from the Lame Stream Media tonight is he?
Good for him!
Nice job Newt!
I used to have headaches. Bad ones. Orbs, dots, sensitivity to light and smell. Upset stomach. Got married and they went away. So save it.
Huntsman asked about cyberwarfare. Talks up his China bona fides.
