Respect we much.

LOL.......I wondered the same thing......how did Paul’s fan club end up making up the majority of that audience.
FR is becoming more DU every day, you say?
You’re helping, sweetie.
No one damaged Romeny - too bad.
That is because he was given softball questions and even with the softballs he did not answer them.
Fox ad-break panel says Newt good but flawed messenger. Says Santorum is right on debt ceiling but was bad answer to give in debate. Andrea didn’t think there was any real discussion about cuts and the committee, Huntsman called “gusty” on civil unions if politically suicidal (see as “disaster” overall), says Romney didn’t jeopardize his front-runner status by not making mistakes and hiding out.
No offense, Bret. But where is Brit Hume when you need him?
And, again...no mention of Cain??? I hate how FOX ignores him.
Huntsman admits he’s different!!!!!
HUNTSMAN IS A NON-STARTER!
I guess that’s one for the guys. LOL!
Romney parroted his answers from the last debate.....he had nothing of any substance to offer tonight. To say he played it safe is an understatement. Even Huntsman took some chances.
Huntsman= RINO!
She Wins
Of course there has been a business cycle. Railroad magnates of the 1800’s would attest that they started it.
Santorum was correct on debt ceiling. It can’t be done overnight. We will have to continue to raise it until we can change the spending trajectory. When you borrow 42 cents of every dollar, you must get to a balanced budget in a phased manner. That won’t happen until we get entitlement reform.
Don’t forget: sweetened or unsweetened?
The biggest problem these candidates had to overcome tonight was overcoming the questions of these Fox moderators.
A lot of the questions FOX asked were BS, lame stream media kind of gotcha questions. I am TICKED and FOX will hear from me.
