LOL If that’s the show, quite a few people up there would have negative scores!
Zzzzzzzzzz...wake me up when Palin announces or January, 2017...whichever comes first.
No thanks on Perry.
The media is pimping the hell out of him. That tells me all I need to know. Puts him in the same boat as Willard. In fact, if Willard had a Texas swagger, he’d be Perry.
Wow. Great answer on the economy, Romney.
Romney is PRONOUNCED ‘front runner’ but was MIA.
He is asked why was he MIA?
The coward Romney SKIPS the QUESTION.
Trying to follow the debate and can two bushels of tomatoes at the same time. Why does Romney get an extra question?
Seeing the red/green thumbs down/up bar on the bottom of the screen (at the FoxNews website) is going to get old real fast. Very distracting.
Check out the classy suit on Bachmann. Wow, outstanding.
First answer was great.
DOES SHE HAVE A HEADACHE?
Romney is asked WOULD YOU HAVE VETOED THE BILL?
The coward Romney SKIPS the QUESTION.
Says debt ceiling should not have increased. Claims it was 'right answer'. Talking points on Tea Party, 1 term prez.
Asks Romney how long would it take
lists things he would do. Asked if he was MIA on debt ceiling. Said he signed Cut, Cap, Balance plan. Won't eat Obama's dog food.
>>>Same rotten guy David Yepsin
It’s Yepsen. He used to be with The Des Moines Gannett rag - the Star & Sickle before wandering off to academia. He’s a liberal hack.
I don’t like the 1 minute answer rule, should be at least 3.
Does Herman Cain only own one suit? Every time I see him he’s wearingn the same dark gray pinstripe double breasted suit.
Asked what Cain would do. Would make tax rates permanent. Says new president would need to get economy moving in 90 days. Repatriated profits, cap gains taxed at 0. 25% business tax.
Silk grey suit, nice.
Romney started right off saying nothing on the budget
Paul did good on the congress
Ive lost the stream
Huntsman unprepared to answer the economic plan question...wow. Terrible.
Newt should have a Tiffany blue shirt.
