I would want to cut waste in the military. My grandfather was actually hired to do so in the Johnson admin. But Paul thinks every world intervention we do is wrong. He’s cool with Iran blowing up tel aviv.
I came home in May and will be home until at least early 2012. Wooohooo! :-D
“Dumb stuff time: What would you bring to the WH?”
A big giant barrel for all the cash!
I wish Perry would have said he would add a shooting range!
I may be out of line here,,,but I firmly believe in the spirit of Bush and Perry...these MEN do not attack women.....NO MATTER WHAT...and yes, as a woman, I admire that trait
One person's methodical is another person's slow.

It is not airborne, but it is contagious, and once you get it, you can pass it on to others for the rest of your life. So even if you don't get cancer, you can infect others and give them the risk of getting cancer.
Look, I admit that Perry takes a hit for the Guardasil issue, but he has clearly and publicly said he made a mistake - I think the damage will be minimal. It's not like tonight is the first time people have heard about it, and he still has a major lead in the polls.
I agree. CNN was out to nail him, and of course so was Romney. Over all, I think he's the best so far. No one is perfect, but he''ll do.
Santorum - add a bedroom and beds for his 7 kids.
Paul - Austrian economics and common sense.
Perry - his beautiful wife
Romney - the bust of Churchill
Bachmann - declaration, constitution.
Cain - a sense of humor because America's too uptight
Huntsman - his motorbikes
END OF DEBATE.
“Gardasil does not protect against all types of HPV (human papilloma virus), and you can still get cervical cancer even if you’ve been vaccinated. Even the National Cancer Institute says:”
Neither does the flu vaccine they try to foist on us every year...
You would think so , yet people parse their words to make it seem like illegals aren’t getting something (ie money) from the taxpayer.
I immediately thought of Churchill, and Romney got it :-)
Boxer or briefs question ...
*sigh*
Lead in for Anderson Cooper....he wants to know...
I’m starting to notice that Perry doesn’t play defense very well.
Those two are better than the rest.
Perry lost me with his open borders nonsense.
Not sure on this, but from what I have read - healthcare companies will not pay for an “opt in”, but if it is in the law they have to - but you can opt out
So I’m thinking Newt won. Perry’s still standing after that assault. Bachmann looked like a high riding _itch. Romney stayed the same. Cain looked good. Santorum and Huntsman need to drop out — mosquitos in the room.
I watched them as the debate ended. Cain looked most presidential...then and throughout. That has been something that the media always questions...and Cain truly holds his own in that department. He is cool, confident, concise and solid! Oh I wish he had stronger support. He is a great candidate.
