I agree. Michelle, step back, take a breath and re-find your stride.
Actually dove right into bitchy!
BACHMANN JUST WENT OVER THE CLIFF
>> Bachmann must have wax in her ears.
No doubt. Bachmann is being a divisive jerk.
Michell should not have gone there.
Both my girl and my boy were forced to get a “government injection” a number of times throughout their lives.
Perry is taking an awful beating over those vaccinations by executive order...
Tag teaming against Perry on the vaccine.
I hope that he stays in these debates as long as possible, he has been doing a great job “re-focusing” the dialogue!
I’ve been impressed by Michelle prior to tonight.
LOL! Offended to be bought for only $5000.00. ZING!!!!!
Bachmann and Santorumn getting desperate.
Rick just said “if you think I can be bought for $5k...”
So he IS a whore and we are just haggling over the price?
They're ALL kicking Rick.
Rubio speaks from most Americans’ hearts. He holds the values necessary to propel this nation in the direction needed to forestall the consequences from our current resident Marxist-in-Chief.
They need to get back to the economy....enough of the sidetrack.
Good intentions do not equal good EO’s.
Bachmann goes after drug company benefitted from Gardisil EO—ties political contributions to Perry.
Bachmann and Perry dueling over Gardisil.
Santorum jumps in—says no gov’t ourpose in having little girls vaccinated; bad policy; says should not have been done.
Perry tries to rebut, with prolife bonafides.
I think Huntsman is the Anderson Cooper candidate...and yes, you may quote me
“Protects life” isn’t going to cut it, Rick.
Perry got KO’d bad
