Palenty is a bastard... Attacking everyone...
Rick Perry for President!
Why did Michelle leave? Did not seem smart.
And don’t forget also a guy that in the right light looks and sounds eerily like George Bush. Can ya just see the ads nows?
A lot of people understood his point on the 10th amendment, IMO.
Ron Paul reminds me of a conservative version of Nader
Is asking the other candidates about Perry who is not there Kosher ???
Michelle is still there...don’t know what you mean.
Understand that these early debates weed out the ones that have no chance.
Agreed.
SARAH PALIN QUESTION!!!!
Im a woman and don’t make sexist remarks. Bachman came across bitchy. Sorry.
Bachman doen’t hold a candle to Sarah.
Bachmann looked terrible with her tete a tete with Paws. She needs to learn to hit back more concisely if she is going after Obummer.
I’m holding out for Palin.
Problem with Newt is he always lets his conservative side hang out during a campaign. However, his RINO side emerges as soon as the campaign ends.
Too much baggage.
You ever had to take a wizz?
Commercial on. I am watching this debate and so far, I wonder if anyone is watching the same debate I am watching. I don’t have a dog on that stage, but I tell you what. Santorum has given the beat answes of any candidare up there and he just showed bachmnn and paul to be utter hypocrites. Newt has nothing to lose either. Both of them are swinging away. Good!
She was late getting back to the podium after the break was over.
these loser questioners are not asking any question I want to know the answer to. just proves how shallow the FOX talent is tonight. I miss Tony Snow and Britt Hume.
This is a game show.
If only Newt had never dipped his doodle and resigned.....
So you’re another Palin KAD who doesn’t like Bachmann. Zzzzzzz
