NoOooOoo ... You are right. The MS-EMPTY pitchers got shellacked by the GOP line-up in that last inning.
“Williams was amazed”
Ah, the enemedia feels the ‘people’ aren’t in its hip pocket. He even had to look behind him. Tells us all we need to know.
gibbs is coming out of hiding to speak tonight about the debate.
That’s it. I cannot watch all the libs on MSNBC discuss the debate. I’m turning off MSNBC.
Basically, he’s saying Perry will lead us down the same path, but be more deceptive about it before getting into office.
It’s like voting between a wolf or a wolf in sheep’s clothing...both are bad, but the latter is creepier.
They sure did.
Yep, time to flee MSLSD post haste. Shoot, it took me 10 minutes to even figure out where it was on my cable.
Ahhhggghhh they cut to Rachel Maddow after the debate and I couldn’t shut it down fast enough! My eyes! My eyes!
Of course they are. Perry would be a disaster of McCain proportions and Obama and the complicit liberal know it. So do you and I.
Ridiculous.
I’m not a Perry supporter, although I’ll vote for him over Obama.
That said, he hasn’t “abandoned his state in its time of need.” He’s doing all he can, and having feet on the ground again tonight won’t make it rain any sooner.
I live in Texas, know what I’m talking about.
There are legitimate arguments against Perry. Yours are not among them.
Now the debates are over and I am not occupied, now what was it that you were slinging spittle over?
His meds finally kicked in.
ANY of them is FAR BETTER than O!
I tried to post a vanity saying this, but, the Admin pulled it.
Vanity posts of opinion are no longer allowed on FreeRepublic?
My wife feels the same way about Palin. She’s a phony.
Not gonna happen.
Paul finally hits a homer stating that those that support liberty do not lack compassion for the poor. I am glad that was said.
Well, we all know being a great orator only goes so far.......witness TOTUS.
I agree... unlike Bush, Perry knows how to deliver the money quote when needed.
Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz, Gene Robinson, Al Sharpton, Lawrence O’Donnell ... Those are the people MSNBC has decided to provide analysis of the GOP candidates debate.
They are all “son of a bitches”.
Same here. That was the first time my TV has ever been tuned to MSNBC.
