The road to hell ...
Not sure anymore. I have always said I didn't think she wanted to run for President because I just think she likes the freedom of being with her family and engaging in politics on her terms and within her timeframes. But occasionally she makes some statements that sound like she is running. We will see which Palin prevails.
Her responses on this were right on. She is doing quite well.
“Next up Jimmy Hoffa Jr. on sons of bitches.”
Now that was funny! I’m still laughing.
Typo,
Who is doing good?
Mitt, are you a racist, terrorist who should go straight to Hell after being taken out by the Teamsters?
OMG. Did y’all hear the applause BEFORE the question was over about the death penalty? BWAAAA-HAAA-haaa-haaa!!!!!
Thanks.
Great answer on the death penalty!!
Perry has had moments which were good....certainly better than GWB.
Brian Williams just removed all doubt he’s out to get Perry with the death penalty question and Perry handled it well.
Perry ain’t gonna be president.

Disagree big time.
Way to go Perry!
Liberals are freaking out across the nation.
Don’t mess with Texas! My vote is for Perry at this choice.
Cain is getting no airtime. MSNBC hates black people.
****
Will the [alleged] Rev Sharpton have a comment about the slight to Cain?
Perry just stuck Brian Willams lame liberal view up Williams ***
I have no agenda, but you do.
She’s not the most comfortable in the debate setting, but I do notice she pulls alot of recent news and stats to back her points up.
