Huntsman has a slippery quality to him.
“I swear Huntsman is crying”
No, that’s just his Max Factor melting.
of course it’s an advantage. Palin has never seen Rick Perry in this kind of context before! Better that she studies the whole picture and strategizes.
Meanwhile Texas burns.
“Perry, Newt and Cain to me are the only REAL suits in this debate.”
Agree.
Oh, and then we have to watch SEIU (and other) anti-GOP commercials during the breaks :-(
Nobody is brave enough to say round em up and send em home.
No...it's not. Ask them who they will vote for in 2012. Will they stay home and essentially cast the vote for Obama...or vote for Perry if he is the nominee and be a hypocrite?
Which is it? That's why this venom is CRAZY...because it could cost us the election and give us 4 more years of this CLOWN we have now.
But maybe that's what some of these "conservatives" want.
On immigration, why do I suddenly get the urge to say;
Oh Crazy Uncle Ron! You have such wacky ideas, please pass the cranberry sauce and, maybe it’s a good idea if we put away the scotch? Please can we put away the scotch, you do remember last year right?
Ron Paul agrees with Ricardo Perrinista and you -- no fence.
Thanks for keeping score. I knew it wasn’t fair.
Oh, wonderful. An SEIU ad during the break. Evil Republicans giving breaks to the rich. Yada, yada, yada.
**** MSLSD.
I have seen nothing of the kind.
I have witnessed a lot of the opposite.
IMHO Rick is actually trying to posture himself for the VP slot. Might be a good thing for him.
I think Paul’s fence answer puts him squarely in crazy territory.
I can’t figure out why Gary Johnson is kept out if he’s allowed in.
Hank
Well ole Paul hit it out of the dugout with that last one.
Paul: If we build a fence it will just keep us in.
Kinda like locking your keys outside of your car!
LOL!
I am waiting for *Huntsman* to say!
You’re travelling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That’s the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!”
IMHO Rick is actually trying to posture himself for the VP slot. Might be a good thing for him.
this isn’t a serious debate. It is designed to help ObamaYup.
DAILY KOS COMMENT:
“This is great! Republican manage to pi** off both Hispanics and Seniors, and Ron Paul makes them all sound batsh*t crazy!”
This was an unmitigated DISASTER, in my honest opinion.
