Oh my goodness ditto to your comment. Mitt is repulsive.
At least Rick Perry showed up tonight. Maybe to little to late though.
Think we’ll hear a question on global issues?
Romney and Perry agree...Ron Paul you are right!
Gotta give Ron Paul the point for Yucca Mt. I’m hearing “Alices Restaurant” after hearing about the garbage...
Agree completely with your analysis, Allegra.
Gingrich would make a great press secretary or Chairman of the Republican Party.
Oh yeah!!!!
I don’t agree, however, with Santorum, that all Latinos place a value on marriage and family. Many of these illegal women are absolutely single, fatherless, unmarried, with no intention of being married. Many are simply either shacking up w/ their “men” or remain unmarried — again, to score welfare benefits.
I also don’t believe that ANY people who come in and literally STEAL resources from another country are necessarily moral. Many of them are being caught falsifying documents, stealing identities, driving w/o licences, etc. Being religiously faithful also means respecting the Law.
Perry was right on it...Texas route...
I’m surprised to see Perry recycle the old “virtual” fence idea. It hasn’t worked where it has been installed.
Perry is getting on my nerves... I am going to get another Bailey’s
Put Romney and Perry in the cage.
Your 11 year old correctly sees the real problem.
Santorum on Fire.
“You can’t build a real fence over that vast distance. It would take 15 years and billions of dollars.”
I’ll put you down in the Just Give Up category.
The Just Give Ups told Kennedy his Moon shot wasn’t possible. Instead of listening to them he filled NASA with Can Do engineers willing to take on the challenge.
I like the way Perry speaks his mind. Direct & to the point. I don’t see it as attacking.
Lots of Mormons in Nv and close by in UT, it is a Romney audience.
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside."Non-citizens who are visiting here temporarily or illegally are not "subject to the jurisdiction" in the original meaning of that amendment.
The debate is a cluster****
Perry is trying to get things back to reality.
Romney is no Republican. Look at his record. He’s a socially liberal progressive big government mandate loving SOB!
