romney stumbled on the come back.
>> “I believe this is the same singer...” <<
.
She works for TPX.
he has 4 Aces hidden somewhere...
knowing mittens, they’re all the same suit, though.
Romeny “Texas is a great state, unlike the miserable hellhole I ran.”
:)Some great lines.
Real cute, NOT. Palin running or not, winning or not if she runs, is not what I am talking about. She is currently not running and yet she has impacted the debate and with God's blessing, the direction of our country. Get over yourself. No one on stage was saying these things until PALIN said them first. FACT, so I am glad YOUR loser candidate is finally pulling his/her head out of his/her back end.
RuPaul’s talking about property taxes, I bet. Local taxing jurisdictions.
Perry is warming up. He just needs to hold his own and not blow the contenders up. The can-do is all over him.
Newt reminds them: American people create jobs, not government.
I've got him figured as a fine "Go Fish" player.
Another good response from Newt.
Wolf’s doing a good job as moderator. A lot better than the previous debates.
Does Paul still want to take the air conditioners from our troops overseas?
Gingrich schooling everyone on jobs.
Government doesn’t create jobs.
Romney looks like hes falling apart in that pic
local taxes in tx have gone up. nothing to do with Perry or state funds. local school taxes, etc. We don’t have an income tax.
