I vote for Pawlenty for biggest loser tonight; he fighting the last debate and he’s full of one, awkward, nasty, populist/class warfare one-liners. He’s done.
When Cain was asked about a comment he once made about not only building a moat on the border - but putting alligators in it - he just smiled and said, in response to the questions “American has to learn to take a joke”
Good for Cain!
I have a lot of respect for Newt. Anybody who puts America above a woman does not deserve to have his patriotism questioned.
And hopefully we will get to page 308 fast and before my wife comes back into the room.
Pawlenty is getting annoying.
Excuse me, but I don’t like sexist comments like that.
Shut up Michelle, you were squirrelling away gov’t money (hand outs).
Bachmann, learn to say “united.”. It isn’t uninted.
That is the best indicator of a thinking person. Reagan was also a democrat.
“He’s looking for the ‘gotcha’ moment thinking doing so makes him look like a good journalist. It only makes him look like the ass that he is.”
Exactly - and Newt really shot him down on that. Cheers from the audience for Newt and boos to CW. Love it.
LOL at the Palin KADs claiming Bachmann is a loser tonight.
Good point.
I really like Cain....got to shake his hand last weekend after he spoke before a group here.....he is great!
I want to debate Obama !
Bachmann hits it out of the park again!
Great job!
Pawlenty,,,still a jerk.
More annoying than Seinfeld’s “Newman...”.
Pawlenty is getting snippy
Pawlenty asked about taxes (health impact fee on cigarettes). Regrets that decision, says it wasn't needed, says courts defended it was a 'fee', claims his budgets were balanced.
Bachmann asked about voting for the health impact fee/cigarette tax. She claims bill had a prolife provision in it too so she voted for it. Pawlenty accuses her a lying about the bill.
I agree with you. He is unpleasant.
Romney on taxes
Did romney really cut taxes 19 times whenb he was Gov ???
Did he really balance the budget EVERY year ???
Paw
Cato Ins gave award to 4 govs he was one
he regreets the cigerette tax
Barry missing in action
Bachmann
Had fought against the cig tax
extras on the cig tax bill...prolife provision
and Paw attacks Bachmann again...
Bachmann is calm clear concise
You go girl
Oh get lost Paw..
Bachmann explains she had to vote for the prolife protection
