Hardly.
Paul gets booed every debate...when he has the questions asked that bring out the nutter in him.
Sarah just nailed Perry on Crony Capitalism.
I abhor this nonsense as well. It is disingenuous and cheap.
I had figured that out a long time ago. She just says he same things over and over and over again.
Cain, Newt, Perry impressed me. Huntsman, Paul are a laugh or moan a minute...they are toast.
I'm a woman myself, but yeah. She's being a _itch....right now. For gosh sakes, someone tell her to quit nagging.
I liked her before the debates, but she never lets up. When ever she thinks she gets a "hit" against an opponent, she rides it forever! I can't listen to her any more. It's like nails on a black board! She can't stop repeating the same "hit" over and over - endlessly.
I wouldn't be able to stand 4 long years of it! She reminds me of my teen age daughter when she fights with her boyfriend. That girl can complain, saying the same thing over and over again, for hours!
Bachmann gave many canned answers tonight.
If we had a debate on governing, I’d say Newt and Perry are the best candidates. Newt’s time has passed. Perry seems to have the best record and he did good tonight.
Good for you! I hope and pray that we are always free to make that choice and that parents are not frightened into making the wrong choice for their children.
I take nothing for granted. I remember getting PO’ed because GWB went soft on Kerry in the debates when he should have thrashed him. Got the win anyway, but still.
Sarah Palin on Greta calls Perry out for “crony capitalism”.
Perry had the HO((NESTY to admit he made a mistake! GEEZUZ!!!!!!!!!! COnservatives USED to forgive,........
Obama on the other hand...never does ANYTHING wrong....all things considered, I prefer a man that Admits a mistake than someone who blames anyone BUT himself for his bad judgement
>> “How is this vaccine different from the mandatory vaccines that are given routinely in school districts across the country?” <<
.
That is the Big Lie.
Vaccines aren’t madatory anywhere I know of. I raised 6 healthy kids, vaccine free, and that is why they are strong and healthy.
Bachmann still lying about the Gardisil issue and claiming government was FORCING families to get the shot. What part of opt-out don’t you understand, Michele? It just makes her appear vacuous.
Take off your Perry blinders. Bachmann attacked Romney on Obamacare much harder than Perry did.
Based on that debate?
That sounds as if it's tinged with a bit of wishful thinking.
I would submit that Paul and Huntsman are over, though.
Yep. She says these candidates have to be ready to hit back when the “big guns” start firing.
I’m watching. Palin is right, we need to call out those who have practiced “crony capitalism”. Greta is having four of the candidates on later in the show.
Yes, what's up with that? She's the only candidate interviewed on camera after the debate. I think a lot less of her now than I did before this debate.
