Me, too, GatorGirl. It would be so refreshing to see the GOP recognize what a goldmine they have in him. I wish they would work to promote all his positives, rather than ignore him and play into the hands of the liberal media that wants to pick our candidate.
She didn’t have to endorse anyone.
how do you feel knowing my vote will cancel yours?
I could care less. That’s how I feel.
You’re wasting your time, there are some people here who have no idea that some diseases can be pandemic while others are rare and isolated.
who is SS?
A little thing known as vetting...something Perry supporters are obviously not fond of....
ALL the Republican candidates stood respectfully with their hands over their hearts during the singing of the National Anthem, and not down by their crotches like some dumbasses we know.
They were all candidates.
dread act = dream act
sorry
No. I don’t like their voices, but I do like both Bachman and Palin. Palin the moreso.
I really don’t like Romney—although I used to, but his voice comes across well on air. I think it’s a decibel thing for me.
Perry, well, I am unsure, actually. I like his strength. I think he’d stand, and he has military experience, which I respect.
Only Cain has the right idea about Muslims. Only Cain. I like his 9 9 9 plan.
But if the Conservatives are going to deliver a conservative candidate, I want street cred, so that’s what I’m looking for.
I almost want Sarah to be America’s Valkyrie and designated Archangel.
Bachman, Romney, Huntsman (face color on the same gradient as the tie) and Perry all have some big government ideas in them.
Paul’s best moment was the creation of his son, Rand.
Santorium whines, even when he’s right.
Newt is a one man brain trust with baggage of political careerism.
Mostly, I want someone who’ll draw the line in the sand, stand and deliver without flinching. Only someone coming up through ranks could. Maybe a Cain.
As of right now, I don’t know who’d do that, but I don’t think either Romney or Huntsman would.
So, flame away, Ma’am.
And if Hillary runs, you’ll find me walking door to door with the Clinton 100 Death list and Whitewater figures, along with the Indonesian bank account totals if I can find them.
If it’s 0bama running his con again, I’ll stand on street corners about the MB and the hidden jihadi in our midst.
not if she went 3rd party with an already established 3rd party.
Both Constitution Party and the Libertarian party are on ballots in all states last I heard.
Their nomination and conventions are entirely different than the republican process.
She’s does not have a high-pitched voice. Her voice is well-pitched and slightly deep. You can make an argument that Palin’s voice is high-pitched, especially when she speaks in front of large crowds.
What you probably don’t like is that she speaks loudly and forcefully. She has to because she is the only woman candidate standing on a stage with seven very egotistical, overbearing male candidates. And certainly, until she took on Rick Perry, Wolf Blitzer didn’t give her the time of day.
Or, on the other hand, you don’t like her voice because you don’t like her opinions.
Same here..;o)
Tens of millions of illegals have compromised and undermined our entire system, including our electoral process, choked off our schools, jails, social services, hospitals, killed, raped, robbed shot, kidnapped, ran over, burglarized hundreds of thousands of Americans, turning our borders into a lawless national security time-bomb.
Call me a RINO, but it is simply not a Christian thing to do to punish a kid for the sins of his parents.
RINO, ya don't reward those who break our laws, defecate on and totally disrespect our borders and sovereignty.
I'll mark you down for reward, compromise and doing it, "For for the children".
we need drinking phrases with her....
“the children” ..drink!
“Tip of the spear”...drink!
“I’m a tax attoreney.”....drink.
Here’s ya another one...

An expensive new vaccine that prevents cervical cancer will be available free to thousands more Alaska girls than previously announced, thanks to increased federal aid.
The state Department of Health and Social Services said Monday it will have enough money to distribute the vaccine Gardasil to at least 27,000 girls between the ages of 9 and 18.
State health officials said in April the shots would be provided free only to girls who were Alaska Native or American Indian, uninsured or...
Bachmann was asked tonight if she accepted Perry saying he made a mistake with gardasil.
She said, “No.”

I was startled when she said that
I wondered why it wasnt enough
I thought she would explain...
But to say that the president cant make mistakes is a bit severe
No president has been perfect...
They are only men...working with the best info they can get..which may not be perfect..
In history wasn’t there something like the “dread acts”
Am I thinking of some sf/fantasy I read once upon a time? :>)
I’m gonna pay for their health care for 80 years.
I told you these debates serve no purpose other than to create soundbites for the MSM to destroy conservatives.
