If she were running she would be there to showcase herself against the other candidates. She’s not running at the moment.

And yet, the Paulestinians will spam the post-debate polls to tell us that he won hands-down tonight.

With his answer about fences used to keep US in, Ron Paul even lost the batsh*t crazy libertarian fringe vote now. He’s in Patsy (”Did I just see a Joo?”) Buchanan territory now...

You are exactly right. If you put a fence on the north side of the Rio Grande your are essentially giving the Mexicans half of our river. I am opposed to taking peoples’ land to build a fence. If I had a ranch on the Rio Grande and someone wanted to put up a fence and run border patrols up and down my land,I’d be pissed.

Dr. Paul, taking a ride on the crazy train, a fence would keep Americans in.

LOL, like we're desperate to go to Mexico!

I’d rather fix the laws so you didn’t have to provide services to people who broke into our country.

If someone breaks into my house, I want them caught and arrested (I don’t have a gun, because I couldn’t take a life, but if someone has one, that’s another solution). Point is, I don’t want to have to build a wall around my house to keep people out. I want to enforce the law.

Wrong-o. What works in one area does not necessarily work in another. Of course, our federal government is so huge and brain-dead that they assume what works in one area will automatically work elsewhere. Duh.

This is not what you said:
I've met many women that absolutely hate Palin.
And a lot of those women have the hots for money.

Forget this lie. AL GORE DIDN’T HAVE A CaMPAIGN MANAGER IN TEXAS IN THE 1988 CAMPAIGN.
Stop spreading Dummie and Paulette LIES.

Austin American: Left newspaper

“Austin consultant George Shipley, who advised Gore’s 1988 campaign, told us in an interview that Perry “made, to my knowledge, one, possibly two press tours, but he was not what I would call that active in the campaign.”

Sherman lawyer Bob Slagle, who supported Gore while chairing the state’s Democratic Party, told us in an interview that Perry “may have been chairman for some area around Haskell County,” Perry’s home county, but he was no more than that.

Similarly, two staff members in Gore’s 1988 effort said Perry was not its Texas chief.

Tennessee lawyer Tom Jurkovich, Gore’s Texas director, told us by email that “we may have named (Perry) to a ‘steering committee’ or as one of several campaign ‘co-chairs,’ typically honorific titles with no real role ... (Perry) wasn’t highly involved in the campaign, however, and had zero operational responsibility.”

Mike Kopp of Nashville, who did press outreach for Gore, was more emphatic, saying in an interview: “We didn’t have a chairman in Texas; we didn’t have co-chairs,” either. “We weren’t that organized; we didn’t have that strong a ground

The Merck kickbacks were Perry’s motivation for Gardasil.

If that's case where is the investigation and proof? Gardasil is like number 999 on my list of concerns.

“There is something about Huntsman that I don’t like.”

His Mitt hair?

His spray tan?

His soft stance on Obama?

His alliance with Mitt?

Romney will NEVER win support.

Romney thinks Obama is great along with RomneyCARE/PerryCARE.

Romney support Amnesty.

NO RINOs. No support for RINOs.

And no more ineligibles, like Romney and Obama.
