Newt is kicking ass again.
KINGMAKER
BTW..Santorum out for me tonight as well. Did not agree with him at all on Reagan’s foreign policy. Reagan always engaged troops when American lives/interest were at stake. Grenada? American Students. Attack on Libya? American lives lost over Lockerbie.
Reagan promoted strength by promoting the value of freedom.
How, kimosabe!
Hooray for Newt’s answer to the Bernake question. He’d fire the SOB tomorrow, and would also audit the FED. YYEEESSS!!!
Bachmann just spanked them all on globull worming! She aptly pointed out that Obama just had to reign in the EPA or suffer a 20 percent cut in coal fired plants.
yeah, to reply to the questions framed to attack him over and over and over
To be honest, Perry has not impressed me. He seems to struggle with his words. Ginrich and Cain have impressed me the most.
Huntsman was nominated by Obie as ambassador to China. He’s written several “love” letters to Obie since the appointment. Yicckkkhhh.
Newt hit a homerun on the economy and energy.
“Huntsman is washed up .... I hope.”
He did accomplish something, though. He did give Chris Matthews an orgasm tonight.
Newt did just kick some booty and he is never my favorite.
Would Huntsman be a suitable “independent” candidate funded by Soros to set up Clintonian plurality win scenario for Baraq?
I’m really liking Newt. He’s doing better than I ever thought he would.
Are you serious ? He added a ton of new admirers on FB tonight. Although they no doubt don’t understand how much his own energy plans are not in line with Global Warming solutions (which is a good thing).
Morris:
“Huntsman now marginalizes himself. He is to the left what Paull(sic) is to the right.”
I think Perry sincerely believed Gardisil was a good vaccine. Perhaps because someone he knew and trusted was presenting the case as their lobbyist.
Given that Perry thought it was a good vaccine and would prevent serious illness and death, he wanted to make it available. But it’s expensive. Who’s going to pay $300? for a vaccine against an STD? My making it a mandate, it would be covered by insuance and available at clinics. This would make it available to those most at risk for future infection.
I don’t think he was right, but I think he had good intentions.
No doubt about it, Paul is the looney one!
Who on earth is supporting Huntsman???
