I almost made a comment that Paul’s head was shaking like he had been drinking.
I think he is the only one of the entire group who was actually not a private sector job creator. He is a coffee shop philosopher.
Well, not that I can hear this, I’m sorry I can hear this.
sounds like Gingrich is about ready to drop out of the race.
Yes he did! Highly intelligent and his comment took the attack to Obama and not his fellow Republicans on the podium.
Newt pretty much dominates all debates. He is razor sharp.
Wow. That was fast. :)
Okay, Brian Williams is done for now.
Good answer Perry on Romneycare showing what won’t work.
So, Romney thinks Obamacare is bad law. But Mittcare? That was different . . . uh, huh.
Oh here comes Mitt spinning Romneycare.
I know nerves have to be on edge, but I wish Perry would stop that weird grin. He doesn’t usually do that.
Speaking of which, did you guys see post #284? Whaddyathink?
THis is Mitt’s answer for health care, that he tried out in South Carolina. AG Ken Cuccinelli said the attempt fell flat, but it was better than he’s done before.
“Mitt getting a question now on Healthcare.”
And Gov. Perry countered with and said that it is a great example of what will not work for the rest of the country. I love Gov. Perry and he is doing wonderfully!
He’s always been one to stay focused on the end game.
Hey there, B!!!
Sarah Palin’s got my vote—hopes she annonunces soon. Perry in second right now.
I’d have to hold my nose to vote for anyone else. But hey, I did that in 2008 to vote for McCain!!!
Best to you, dear friend.
I've said it before, when Sarah Palin announces--all the oxygen will go out of the room
Romney will issue EO giving all 50 states a waiver from Obamneycare.
Media already selecting our candidates. Romney and Perry getting all the air time.
Newt doesn’t have any supporters...
Not gonna happen Newt...
