Hunt-geezer put on cheerleader uniform and is cheering for GLOBAL WARMING GO GO GO! SCIENCE. SCIENCE! GO MAINSTREAM!
Did you mean to leave out the fact that there was an opt-out option or does that just not fit in with your agenda?
Huntsman is Mittens-lite.
Next Hunstman will say:
I can make it rain
I can make it snow
I can lasso the Moon
Vote for me and I will set you free!
The ‘Ryan’ Plan
Perry needs a new climate consultant.
Yep. He’s done.
Not true. Cain is against amnesty - he has said it from the get go: “enforce the laws on the books”.
Bachmann gave the best foreign policy answer on Libya and Obama’s failure to keep America safe. I start liking Perry a bit and then he DEFENDS Obama!?!
Huntsman takes the “crazy train ticket” from Paul...huntsman questions those who question climate change are wrong...Perry going soft on his rebuttal on AGW. Just come out and call a fraud a fraud!!!
Cain and or Bachmann will pounce on this.
Perry rebuts Huntsman very well.
huntsman is truly toast after tonight.
He won’t need the tanning booth anymore.
Huntsman is a dem.
Huntsman should run as a Democrat
All the candidates have not said what needs to be said... Obama is doing everything on purpose to destroy this country, WTF are they afraid of??? It’s true.
Nice!
Huntsman makes Romney look conservative..Huntsman is one strange dude..he should just join the Rat party already, so he can be with his own kind
Perry on AGW: “The science is not settled yet....To put America’s future in jeopardy (due to the ‘science’ of AGW) is monstrous.”
Specifics on cleaning air in Texas over the last decade. Good detail.
NO Pledge means, I have no principles.
He can't even put two sentences together. The guy is atrocious.
