only one problem. romneycare is consitutional. Has Michele read the 10th amednment. States can do things the feds can’t. States have police powers. the feds don’t.
Two weeks ago I had my picture taken with Marco in person. He’s even more awesome than the speeches we watch. The guy just exudes charisma.
I like you from earlier today ... but I only have $14.56 right now. You in?
It was a stupid attack, that’s what I object to.
Get with the program, pal. It had an opt out.
I think that's the disadvantage of being the only woman on the panel. If a man speaks forcefully, people say "Wow, he's good." If a woman speaks forcefully, people say "Oh, she's shrill!"
I just unsubscribed from Bachmann’s campaign email list. I don’t like her anymore.
She wants to be be president too much, she is willing to do anything and say anything to elect herself. (or I suspect Mitt Romney)
lol,
a month ago, if someone told me Sarah Palin would swoop in and steal the limelight even after Perry would have gotten in, I wouldn’t have given it serious consideration.
Now it looks like the stars are aligning. Perry is the *default* conservative candidate for the moment. He’s going to stay about 11-12 points above Romney. If that falls to 6 or 7 creating doubt, it might open the door for Palin to come in. I’ve really been kind of shocked at how unprepared Perry seems sometimes in these last two debates. At some point, if Palin does get in, I want to see her on stage, preferably when the feild is reduced to 3 or 4 people.
Paul is a frequent flyer there.
” Perry doesn’t seem like a very dynamic debater.”
He needs to just hold on. He doesn’t have to blow the other contenders up. You’re right. He has not won on debates alone, and hates them, but he himself is a winner.
Part of the recent outbreaks of whooping cough and TB can be traced to illegals in grades K-12 that have not been innoculated against these disease or living in household where they are hosts because they have built up an immune system against them.
Pinged to MyWife, TheMom!
“illegal immigration” coming up
Lets see which ones call them illegal aliens
Whose for a fence ???
Whose for sending themm back ???
whose for enforcing the law
whose against sanctuary cities ???
etc
theres more than 12 mil Wolf
I’m enjoying Wolf much more than Brian Williams and Politico-what’s-his-name. He is covering a lot of ground.
He’s really cute, too.
And NOT going after Romney, I meant to say. She should go after Romney much harder for RomneyCare being that repealing obamacare is one of her core issues.
No pampering, just don’t like the kid gloves treatment with Romney.
Because most people dont die from the flu but most young women do die from cervical cancer which mainly comes from HPV.
I am sad to say I have completely removed her from consideration as well, and she was my #1 choice until about a week ago.
I'm down to Perry and Cain now.
Maybe 11 or 12 million illegals?
Is wolf joking?
