The rumors of a child being starved are just that, rumors. There is a lot of speculation though about the reason for the cages full of chicks and bunnies that were seen backstage. It could get messy.

Watching O’Reilly right now. Brett Baier reminding people that Guliani was the media chosen Republican nominee for the 2008 elections.

Obamacare is just one more Unfunded Liability that isn’t even tallied up in the Social Security, Medicare liabilities that are at 115 trillion dollars as of right now.

http://www.usdebtclock.org/

Sickening debt we are leaving are crippling our children and theirs with,no way to pay except enslavement to totalitarian government.

As it goes right now our generation can either be heroes or zeros..... History will judge us, I am proud of what I believe in but ashamed to say I live in a society where people are told they are freely entitled to their neighbors hard work.

The Democrats have been bribing the people with money from the public trust for generations its time to bring their chickens home to roost.

“”I like Santorum, but his time is over. It’s a shame too...but it’s like no one even knows he is there.””

I agree 100% with you. I really do like him and I don’t understand or know why he’s so far down in the polls. I like Herman also. Pretty sad time for real conservatives.

Any GOP contender would be a FOOL not to have Bolton as VP or at a MINIMUM Sec State!

I don’t know why people like Bolton. I mean nice guy and all but what did he do in the UN? Are we still paying dues or whatever? Yes. We are still in the same position as before he was UN Secretary. He was sure a big talker that is for sure. I just prefer results.

So candidates get 1 minute to answer a question with a 30 second follow up and people wonder why all their answers are canned talking points? WTF can you say in one minute?!?

Right you are...Same rotten guy David Yepsin just on Larry O’Donnell MSNBC, repeated that Sarah was just a PR stunt, and repeatedly referred to her as Sarah Palin while he said Gov Perry and Gov Pawlenty
