Newt goes thru batting practice Trouble is he is the the political Adam Dunn (as a Sox fan did I say that)
Johnson’s “Dogs” comment came from the AttackWatch twitter feed today!!!!!!!
Ithink Cain should be on the ticket but as a VP. Perry not very impressive. LOL, best line of the night by Gary Johnson.
Herman never gets to say much at these debates. Personally, I think it's intentional.
When I talk up Herman to folks around here and they ask where they can learn more about him, I tell them to go to YouTube and type his name into the search box. There are several video clips they can listen to and learn more on what he stands for.
That will work for any of the candidates. No one should let the MSM pick our candidate for us and that's what they're trying to do.
Johnson gave a great answer!
Unfortunately, we don’t need someone to be able to defeat Obamao at a debate for “us” to win. The dolts out there that swing elections only listen to sound bites and commercials. Dancing with the Stars is on that night.
If Romney wins the nomination, I’ll sleep like a baby- I’ll wake up every few hours screaming bloody murder.
Jefferson didn’t write the First. One of my ancestors, John Leland, with james Madison, wrote it.
I’m wondering the same thing. I cannot stand Huntsman and he has zero chance.
I agree. Cain would do a good job. Newt just hit one out of the park with his Reagan quote:
“When your neighbor’s out of a job, it’s a recession. When you’re out of a job, it’s a depression. When Jimmy Carter’s out of a job, it’s a recovery.”
Great idea, I’m for that. I have hunted arrowheads on both sides of that river. The best ones I found on the Mexican side.
Johnson delivers the best line of the night!
“My dogs have delivered more shovel ready jobs than Barack Obama”
LoL!!
EXACTLY. If this goes on, we are DEAD in water.
Okay, Gary Johnson really made me laugh with the “shovel ready jobs” created by his neighbor’s dogs. It was funny ‘cause it it’s true.
Gary Johnson’s “shovel ready” jobs being created by his neighbor’s two dogs was clever.
We? Got a rat in your pocket? :)
I actually think Gingrich has done fabulous in every one of the debates.
Huntsman reminds me of Micheal Dukakis!!!
Newt is like Teddy Roosevelt leading the troops up San Juan Hill!
