Wouldn’t be surprised if Bachmann wasn’t called aside by her staff to say stop the nastiness already.
switch to cnn and msnbc.
Not nearly enough time for Cain. Why don’t they be fair and give the same number of questions to each one.
Good grief...I doubt Michelle left to use the bathroom. I am sure she can get through a debate without that. Evidently she had some problem getting back from the break, but I don’t think that was it.
newt is on fire tonight.
I don’t know why but I find Huntsman pretty weird. He’s saying safe things but there’s something that I can’t square with him.
LOL so true, so true...they are probably discussing it now. “Should we write it? Should we?”
Zombieland? Actually an apt description :o)
Now, can we do Fargo and (figuratively, of course) put Santo in the chipper?
LOL! Well said. :)
Newt’s an old piece of gum that has been sticking to the conservative shoe for years. Time to scrape him off.
tpaw just had a good answer about friends of the US, like Israel and Great Britian.
You’re far too kind.....LOL.
Smart girl. Keep her. Treat her to dinner tomorrow night. Glad you like Sarah. She would outshine all these folks tonight.
Switch to Pawlenty and Romney tv
Go ahead and joke. It says more about you than anything else.
Newt momentarily made me forget
HE SAT ON THE COUCH WITH NANCY!
Newt is on fire.
Old guys rule.
The state constitution and/or a voted-on state constitutional amendment.
Yup, I have to hand it to Newt about Libya. He didn’t change his mind.
At different stages he was asked what he would do.
But after each stage Obama had made certain moves which change the situation and require a changed answer for the present situation.
