Charles Ponzi, small potatoes compared to DC Politicians
yes!
Well said, Herman.
Well said, Herman.
What the flip are those podiums made from? Pieces of the twin towers?
Perry isn’t doing well to my ears. A simple definition of Ponzi scheme would help.
However, the audience is supportive of Perry.
Romney, his usual slick self. :(
Cain says what Perry should have said: “Current seniors will not be affected.” How hard is that to say?
Perry kicked romney’s arse in the ss thing! yes, he did.
Huntsman is being a total a$$.
Enter Huntsman with the dumbest comments of the night...Cobain? Lame.
I want a debate, not a Romney-Perry show.
AMEN!
So I guess Blitzer is just going to say Governor Perry called SS a ponzi scheme a thousand times tonight to scare the old people and bury Perry. Guess we know who the liberal media pinheads are afraid of.
Perry/Cain!
Perry won't last past Thanksgiving.
Every time I hear someone being called a tool, I think of what my husband would say while he was in the Navy "I'd call him a tool, but tools are useful!"
I swear Huntsman is a Democrat plant. All he does is talk about how Republicans..
From Herman to this Huntsman jagov. What a contrast.
Newt hits one out of the park!
too bad Newt is such damaged goods
YES NEWT. Obama scare them all.
