Perhaps for you... not for me.

[pgkdan]

Understand something on Gardisil, if it had been an opt in the 3 shots at $360 each would not have been paid for. It had to be an opt out for there to have been coverage for the shot.

Right! And either way the result would have ben the same.

[Will88]

Huntsman is creepy to me tonight.

Lol, the first time I saw him, I said: He gives me the creeps.

And, Rick, tell them that the illegals cause unique problems in Texas and a few other states. Well, he almost did.

[KansasGirl]

Cain is really on his game tonight, imo.

Williams with another attack on Perry. Education this time. Atleast Perry points out the illegal immigration issue this time.

Let me say, OBAMA HAS NEVER FACED THIS KIND OF QUESTIONING!

[maica]

John Huntsman looks like he could be the host for

the TWILIGHT ZONE....The next Rod Serling!

Yes! Or a classic comic book image...

But not a live human being.

[Free Vulcan]

I’ll never vote for the guy but he has his moments.

[Constitution1st]

Yes, Reagan was a great president, and even he made mistakes.

This moderator Harris, who stands and talks like his panties are uncomfortable, does want to take out Perry, and I REFUSE to go along with him and the democrat socialists! They do not get to decide who I choose.

Perry has made some mistakes; everyone will, because we are human. But at the end of the day, he was re-elected in Texas. He has been governor for 12 years. So they must be pretty happy with him.

[McLynnan]

Perry just missed an opportunity to explain educational issues in Texas — when the students don’t speak English it’s hard to teach them anything.

[Fresh Wind]

Bachmann is still there? I though she left.

[Chgogal]

I am getting old, and no I am not disqualifying him because he has the guts to call SS a ponzi scheme.

[Signalman]

Morris tweet:

“MSNBC is executing a hit contract on Perry like a mobster”.

[Soul Seeker]

Damn it...my feed cut out for ahile there. Missed some of the debate. :-(

Back on now...

[CharlesWayneCT]

Now they bring the token hispanic to say Reagan loved Immigration. And Perry gets ANOTHER question.

[Jane Long]

Here it is...immigration question...Perry on 1st.

[mylife]

Well if Sarah is going to get in she had better assemble a team and start raising some money pretty darn quick.

[Miss Didi]

Yeah, mention Chile...that will go over real big with Americans. (rolling eyes)

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Great—now they have a Hispanic ask about immigration “reform” (i.e., amnesty).

[Eaker]

That one POS moderator (I don't even know who he is) has done but turning the entire debate into a propaganda event against Perry.

Means they are scared of him!

[Palmetto Patriot]

Palin is licking her chops watching this thing tonight.........

C'mon down, Governor!

You ain't gettin' nowhere, sittin' on the porch!

[LA Woman3]

Brian Williams... on the NE flooding....”Many of the towns around where I live...8 days without power. We had people eating outdoors in public parks because the supermarkets were shut down.” Oh my! What a prima donna! At least he has a house that most likely has a generator. That is suffering in his mind. Not losing your entire house by a hurricane or a fire. Sick.
