If only Mitt wasn’t so attractive, presidential looking and such a slick snake oil salesman.
A lot of idiots will be fooled by this RINO.
I really liked Santorum’s challenging and disputing crazy Ron Paul, though. He was passionate, and it was unfair that he got cut off yet Paul was allowed to talk overtime. What an irrational jerk (RP and his “fans” as well) - plus, he got a little mean as well.
Look bad:
Romney, Huntsman, Pawlenty, Santorum, Paul
Look Good:
Cain, Bachmann
Look great
Newt
The Winners:
Perry, Palin
I am glad my dobermans are not reacting to each bell ring!
They have slept through them all.
As I said, suicidal American hating warriors are a greater threat
I think you’re right. I was busy cooking and busy with the FReepathon thread there for a while.
That has become our major problem...the continual push to create jealousy...not jobs...by the Democrats. And I believe Cain sees that and can change that.
I think you are right! :)
Bingo!
“Audit the Fed” mantra coming from Newt. Wow.
lol
lol. touche
Newt won tonight. Cain a very strong 2nd.
T-Paw is T-Done.
If you’re not learning things about these candidates...you’re spending too much time defending the cowards and not listening.
I'm happy that you're happy.
Yes, I think his whole response on that was the best one tonight as well.
Based on this debate, I write off Paul, Pawlenty, and Huntsman. Romney will survive based on coffers. The rest will survive (so far) based on good skill on their feet.
Newt: The Fed should be audited...The fed reserve is secret...The Fed is the primary villan
lol
Paul: I’m glad the rest of the country is catching up...
lol..
My Little Pony Voice-—who is she and how did she end up on this panel? Monica Crowley would have been better.
Well put!
