pretty is as pretty does. That woman sings like an angel.
No Kidding! Right out of the “Twilight Zone”,
The monitors are LIKE THE KIDS IN A PLAYGROUND....”Let’s get Ricky!!”
They didn’t just have to say no. They had to obtain a signed affidavit. A signed affidavit for a vaccine that had been on the market for less than a year.
Romney just kicked Obama square in the nuts!
I was disillusioned to hear Bachmann, who I thought was better than the others on immigration, talk about amnesty.
Our country is in trouble.
“I’m not a Ron Paul supporter. “
Quick survey: how many bumper stickers are on your car? Around here, Paul supporters drive cars with an average of 8 bumper stickers...
So did the Germans. And the Czechs.
Huntsman: ... We are weak...
Flush !
OMG!!
I’ve “lost mY innocence !!” according to Huntsman...and I wonder how he knows! HA.
There are several more debates coming up where Perry can expand on SS/entitlement reform. Good for him tonight for starting to frame the issue in a gutsy way, head-on like a leader should.
I hope you like me.
Williams is slobbering all over Huntsman. Getting way too much airtime for a tier 3 candidate.
Add creepy to that list and it will be right!
I’m a Cain guy but I don’t think any of them are pro-amnesty. Can’T tell for sure, satelites been out for and bour,
I agree. Palin shouldn’t hope to just jump in after missing these debates and think many of us are going to give her a serious look. If she is running then run...these poor souls waiting for her to run or not are just getting played as far as Im concerned.
Pledge boy wearing Pledge yellow tie. Creepy.
I have listened to Cain on this issue for years when he was on the radio, it is not a catch word for him.
Cue Bing Crosby...
“Don’t Fence Me In”
That’s right - keep the govt off my back so I can stay LOADED all the time...
