Pawlenty is toast. His vicious attack on Bachmann is indefensible.
RomneyBOT Chris Wallace provokes Pawlenty into
dissecting Bachmann, and he does so ... meanly.
She defends herself. Sound very good.
So the SOB Wallace interrupts and introduces
his love, Mitt Romney with saying he saved the WORLD.
Fox News using Politico for debate ‘facts’. LOL
Valerian tea?? Valerian TEA?????
Yee gods and little fishes! Old jock-strap tea would be more palatable.
Bachmann is awesome.
Pawlenty-there’s no there, there.
Pawlenty’s “accomplishments” could fit on the head of a pin.
Except for allowing Franken to steal the Senate election. That he should wear on his forehead, with pride.
Romney isn’t going to answer any tough questions.
If it ever comes to that, stay home on election day.
This is getting ugly. I hope the GOP primary doesn’t turn into a bloodbath where everyone comes out a loser.
Pawlenty just ticked me off. I went to DC and tried to stop Obamacare and they shoved it dove our throats anyway. Where the H ll Was he!
Bachmann is impressive. Pawlenty is trying so hard for a breakout performance that he looks like an ass.
Romney kissing up to Cain
I agree! Pawlenty has just shown us that he's part of the establishment.
Pawlenty’s performance tonight is that of a desperate man who knows he’s doomed to single digits in the polls. Trying to stand out by being a jerk.
Wallace loving the skirmishes between the candidates.
I'm not liking the format of this debate.
Bachmann- WOO HOO!
Pawlenty- BOO! (and what a jerk!)
They ALL need to start going after Romney because Romney is (alledgedly) the frontrunner.
Yes....it tastes like crap...But it WORKS!
You don’t SIP it, you just drink it fast.
