Only to the low IQ.
Michelle Bauchman is shooting herself in the foot.
I am beginning to really dislike her.
Nice try buddy.
In case you didn’t realize it, every candidate that went out on stage was cordial with the candidate that came out directly in front of them. Nice way to distort though.
Would you like to say how Cain is marred cause he warmly shook Huntsman’s Hand?
Or Paul greeted Newt warmly?
Give me a break
I’ve lost respect for Bachman going after Perry and going after Romney
I agree. I think guardisil is a nonissue
“Hysterical” Whiny, and shrill! NOT qualities I look for in POTUS
Perry was cruising till that subject but anyone with a track record is gonna get some hits.... wait till Zero puts his shiznit on the table....!
yes.
bachmann is starting to irritate me.
What ??? HPV is INDEED the # 1 communicable std today!!
That's because Santorum is an ass and Bachmann is fading away. Also, I think Romney sounds real desperate tonight.
Perry is doing well and so is Herman Cain.
God, that was just ugly of her.
cheap, cheap shot.
Romney bores me almost as much as Hunstman.
You nailed it.
“Are you just recently becoming interested in politics? “
Heh heh ... wicked ...
Not so. Santorum and Bachmann looked like patriots here.
” ....said earlier today that she would lowblow Perry and after tonight, she is gone. “
Thank you Mesta. BINGO. The cheaper shot was taken and left unappreciated.
the only one going after Obama is Newt.
bust
Here's what some of that was about too, - Medicaid would not pay for the vaccine unless it was mandated in our state. So the promiscuous, cancer prone girls in TX are really the poor, illegals etc who are all on Medicaid. So that was part of the reason for Perry to mandate it. But there was always an opt out for any parents. Anyway Perry backed down when the people got upset about it.
