Aw geez, does Mittens wear a toupee, after all this talk about his and Perry’s good hair? Maybe both do. Santorum clearly looks like he does.
They just completely skipped Cain when he was called on.. The one person who really is out of the government establishment. (not complaining about giving Santorum airtime but still... Cain just lost his time because of Cain).
Santorum says he is the one who gets things done.
[What did HE do, besides lose his Senate seat?]
Romney and Perry or any other public serpent can’t create jobs. Why are they arguing this? Dukakis creating more jobs blah blah.
They can destroy jobs. They can only create them by getting out of the way.
Once Sarah endorses Perry, Mitt will be done.
FUDGE, THE DAMN IDIOTS ARE FALLING INTO THE RAT TRAP AGAIN!!! DAMNIT!! Freakin DAMN IT!!
Hermanator!!!!!
Very true, but so few watch PMSNBC and they're far left and won't be swayed anyway.
What’s Cain’s button on his left lapel???
Cain finally talking and making good sense as usual. I like him.
Cain: “If 10% is good enough for God, then 9% should be good enough for the Government.”
So Cain is proposing replacing an income tax with another income tax?
No vote for you.
Why does Santorum thrown in about “bringing Republicans and Democrats together?
First order is to make the Democrats inconsequential?
Cain is sounding good!
WOW! Hermain Cain goes into detail like a college professor!
Cain gets appalause for his plan to replace the income tax.
