I agree with you, but that’s not the world we live in and what he said, on a racial/cultural stage is just not appropriate. His handlers need to help him move beyond that and call opponents by name, or position.
LOL!!
The problem is, there is a huge underground economy in this country where many do not pay taxes - particularly income tax. There are also many who are scamming on social services and sucking off the teat of the US meanwhile, working under the table for cash. It’s time we get real in this country or we may as well hang it up.
Will I still have to pay state sales tax in my state if Romney is president?
Rick is tearing into Mitt over RomneyCare.
they are all trying to catch up on cain’s plan.
Santorum is schooling Romney on his own plan!
Holy crap Santorim has Mitt rattled.
Great answer by Santorum on addressing the wrong problem and blowing a hole in the budget
I thought it was Obermann who said that. Am I wrong?
Mitt: “The people of Massachusetts like RomneyCare.”
Yeah, no kidding Mitt, a bunch of liberals would.....
WE GOT BLOOD.....way to go RICK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
