i don’t believe that poll.
Anybody notice Huntsman’s left thumb? Anybody with a medical background able to comment on that?
This Johnson dude presents himself as a strange flake . . . .
Eww...I just agreed with Ron Paul.
I have to go take a shower now.
When did this guy jump in the race?
I don’t mean to be mean but Ron Paul’s age is really showing and we can’t know a VP ahead (that is if I agreed with all his ideas)
ditto.
strange.
I agree. She just is not realistic about anything.
Is Gov Johnson gay?? I just got a ping, and it wasn’t from this site.
He sounds good though....Fair Tax, start vetoeing bills that need to be axed.
same here on youtube...didn’t tell me how i voted
Chris Wallace gives me heartburn. I want more shots of Megyn Kelly!!!
Is it Gary Johnson who wants to legalize pot?
Why is he even there?
Dick Morris:
“Ron Paul: veto every bill that violates the tenth amendment. Good answe”r
The guy that just answered is Gary Johnson?
Speaker Gingrich asked about benefits.
(How different from the initial setup question for Milt).
Answers conservatively.
Audience seems hostile (huh?)
RomneyBOT Wallace WHACKS each candidate
with difficult questions.
To Mr. Cain, he asks about “dangers” from his 9-9-9 tax plan
[unlike the “benefits” of Obama dismantling the USA].
Mr. Cain, as always, hits it out of the park.
Mr. Cain distinguishes himself from Romney.
RomneyBOT Wallace notes Romney was mentioned,
so gives Milt another 30 seconds.
Romney is unable to respond directly since
it requires THINKING, and in its stead
gives his canned pitch to which
there are a few weak claps (unlike Mr. Cain’s loud cheers).
Oh Noes!
Ewww!
I really like all of Herman Cain’s ideas! Too bad he is so low on the polls -
This IS a Google commercial...I am getting annoyed!!!!
