I’ll take a Cain/DeMint, Cain/Rubio or Cain/West ticket
I turned the channel when that scary Andrea Borgia woman came on. Yikes.
CNN: “The Obama camp must be celebrating after watching the debate tonight.”
Yes, Perry was all one step forward two steps back.
He seemed more engaged at least.
He didn’t have to debate Bill White who didn’t have a snowball’s chance in the hot place. So why should he give the guy a forum?
Excellent point.
That’s a fair description of how the debate went down. Romney was given copious amounts of extra time.
LMAO!
Agree!
Mittens just is too slick for me, can’t feel comfortable that he’ll stick with positions, Gingrich and Cain are the one’s I want to hear more from.
I got $10 that says you will get crickets on the names.
Oh Good Lord. You sound like you're from Quebec with that nonsense.
Against Newt G?
That would be like a paper towel arguing with a tsunami wave. Kind boring after the first 30 seconds when Obama's first response runs on for 2 hours 57 minutes of the 3 hours, without saying anything decipherable.
Many people in here could do a better job than this Gergan or Brazille. I am sick of CNN and the predictable propaganda for their Obama. They never ask Obama tough questions. He has ruined this country.
Cain blew it rit at the end, he actually praised Romneys amazing record! wTH?!
I’ll repeat since I suppose I’ll have to all of you. Some people can’t fight their own fights. Time to call the wahmbulance.
And you know what I hate about mormon haters? The same thing I with other “clicks”. You can’t fight your own fights and have to call in the posse to gang up on the one you disagree with. That shows a tremendous amount of insecurity.Can’t fight your own fights, cracks me up. Obviously the unpopular kid on the play ground.
Darn, it’s tough going through life being the cheerleader in high school. As a grown up, I have still have to deal with all the unpopular kids.
