And Cain is the man who can do and the adult in the bunch who never whines.

That’s the truth.

Bachmann looking OK considering they have been using Tim Pawlenty to attack her. Now they’re using Pawlenty to attack Romney.

Bachmann worked in the private sector as a tax lawyer, sorry Mitt Rino.

Is Chris Wallace Pawlenty’s gay lover? Why does he keep going back to T-Paw? There are other candidates! Freaking-A!

Yes, gotta say I am liking Newt more than ever tonight.

Same here...I wrote him off long ago (and can still see him sitting with Nanzi Pelosi on that couch), but glad he's adding some truth to things tonight.

Wow....they all raise their hands when asked if they would walk away from a “10:1 spending cuts to tax increase deal.”

Newt lambasts the “Super Committee.”

Chris Wallace defends Romney by attacking
Tim Pawlenty.

How DARE you link RomneyCARE with ObamaCARE?,
says the BIASED FOX representative, RomneyBOT Wallace.

Pawlenty whacks Wallace by bringing up Romney’s
liberal judges, too.
