Yes! He is great, I have had the opportunity to listen to him.
LOL...you mean Liberals have no “horse sense” or common sense!
Well, that is probably true. I think they have it, but I think ideology overrides everything for them. If they are a Christian, in many cases, they are a liberal first. If they are an American, they are a liberal first, and so on.
A lot of “cognitive dissonance” is present on their side...:(

What a great, every-man putdown of the "Citizen of The World" jackasses...:)
I could definitely vote for that dynamic duo. We have a good field of candidates shaping up as possibilities for a change.
I'm a little disappointed by his stance on immigration reform --he speaks favorably about the Bush plan at 30 minutes in, his opposition to offshore drilling and most disappointing - he supports New Jersey's asinine gun laws (about 50 minutes in).
