Agree, awesome comment on faith by Gingrich. Spot on.
When you are 60, that butterfly on your breast, becomes a CONDOR!
You'd really be in favor of somebody like Jerry Brown or Blago doing a turn in the Oval Office...???

You're welcome.
“Are you wearing a cardigan sweater and sneakers?”
If I see Mitt, I’ll add boxing gloves.
They will get it wrong and spell it as hermaphrodite.
Mitt looks like he needs to take a dump.
When her muscles start relaxin’
Up the hill comes Andrew Jackson.
She once swept an admiral clear off his feet.
The ships on her hips made his heart skip a beat.
And now the old boy’s in command of the fleet
For he went and married Lydia!
Yes, good answer by Newt. But within his answer contains the seeds of faith in our Creator with I believe goes against the Mormon religion which I believe is a cult.
“Actually Cain may need to revise his suggestion of having the states handle the illegals instead of the feds,”
Cain isn’t saying “instead of” the Feds.
He is speaking of allowing states to enforce immigration law, like what Arizona and Alabama are trying to do.
It becomes necessary when we have Administrations that have no intention of enforcing federal immigration law, and will prevent future Presidents from foisting defacto amnesties on the country.
I agree. Doesn’t seem to be a typical pro Obama audience.
“What is it with women and tattoos these days?”
I agree. It is so macho. Why would a woman want to look like a man? Just wait. When it goes out of fad the liberals will force us to pay for their removal.
Santorum was eloquent on religion. Newt as well.
Perry just sounds like a drunk compared to the rest, IMO.
Wow, what a pro-Romney crowd ... fulla Mormons...
How many billions of dollars do illegal invaders cost this nation every single year?
Santorum has not been horrible tonight.
I really have not seen anyone on that stage mess up really badly.
Herman played defense pretty well on 9-9-9 and the candidates that attacked him on it either have not done their homework or have purposefully obfuscated the issue. the others say they have plans or will have plans.
I look forward to seeing them in the coming days.
It’s hard to listen to Perry talk. His stops and starts are irritating but no objective analysis can come to the conclusion that he has not improved. Of course given his earlier performances, he couldn’t have gotten much worse.
Bachmann....platitudes is the word that comes to mind listening to her.
