“who pissed in your cat’s mouth”
I have lived on this rock for 63 years and I’ve been ‘around’, but I have never heard that one. Consider it stolen... I’ll use it and no doubt get into trouble. LOL
I have to admit this was by far his best debate. That’s a pretty low bar, but he was coherent, even eloquent at times.

Perry high five!
Initially I respected her 'fight' however to hear her tell it she can walk on water for goodness sake. Now we have her new motto which I heard earlier tonight and just knew it would be repeated in the debate --- WIN WIN WIN, (adopted from Cains nine, nine nine). Wishful thinking from a candidate who polls 5th or 6th..The quicker we get rid of the single digit candidates the more productive the debates, IMHO.
Of course it didn’t! They only show the most unflattering snippets to cast the entire group in a silly light.
I thought they all looked pretty good.
I'll score it:
Perry win
Newt place
Paul show
Santorum fourth
Michele fifth
Romney sixth
Obama toast
Rodguy, have you joined Diane in a little indulgence in adult beverages, or am I just too dumb to understand the sinatra thing?

Both Perry and Newt hit many triples and a few over the fence.
The others, not so much.
She is soooo conservative, I hate her too./s
Mittens and his handlers have believed from the beginning that Mittens is the front runner and the inevitable nominee, as long as he stays on autopilot and does nothing to upset the applecart (ie., says nothing bold or takes any truly controversial stand on anything important). "Steady as she goes" has been the campaign's strategy. Cut a good appearance, keep smiling, stick with the playbook. Grind it up the middle.
In other words, the Mittens team has been "playing not to lose" from the beginning, and any sports pundit can tell you what happens when a team, "plays not to lose".
They lose.
I would like Paul if he wasn’t an isolationist and an apologist for foreign bad guys
I like Newt but I cant agree with his big gov ideas and progressive notions of taxation.
Both me and the wife looked at each other immediately and said “did she just say that?”
ABC now sticking in their opinion. Who cares about a joke about a bet?#IowaDebate
Maybe you can't wait and see. Speak for yourself. There are plenty that will gladly watch Perry come back.
***Sawyer wasting time enforcing the rules***
Agree, so annoying, like an ole school marm!! Just please get on with the questions. Sheesh!!
Kinda noticeable that no one wants Cain...except ding dong Michelle.
Newt got a balnced budget four times. Reagan himself never did that.
Perry/Newt won Ron got 3rd
Holy crap. I can’t believe I’m going to defend Romney.
BUT....all these idiots on TV are talking about Romney’s $10,000 bet offer. I’d forgotten all about it. Big freaking deal.
