You betcha ;)
Mit looks like he just pee’d in his pants in that picture.
My gosh.. why the hell do we even allow a contender like Huntsman? I think he has overdosed on caviar.
LOL, you’re going to fit right in. Good luck to you.
Perhaps Newt is over regarding being President, but he is and can continue to have a positive impact on the election and on this country and that is why I don’t see him out yet. He is very valuable in these debates, as you so noted.
agree.
wolf is directing ?s against perry.
Did Bachmann just say she has 3 children? What about the 38 foster kids?
Bachmann must have wax in her ears.
She didnt hear the part about “opt out”
Oooops. Michelle went a little shrill.
He’s saying it again. OPT-OUT!!!! Duh.
“Yep, hopefully san fran nan will be gone in 2012 (ok I wish big) but she can still watch from afar. Bachmann needs to go after that position!”
Repeal Obamacare! Speaker food...
everything directed at Perry by Wolf is to give the media soundbites against Perry.
This tells me that the liberal establishment is deeply worried about that handsome guy.
I have no idea why Huntsman is there.
A Mitt plant, perhaps?
And that (also IMO) makes him one hell of an American patriot.
Yeah, good point and I agree.
Thanks!
I never thought it possible that zero would not be the candidate simply because of his race. But if he sinks any lower, and I believe Rush about DNC internals, they have to be bottoming out for the Joker about now,anything is possible.
Romney screwed up his nose at Perry earlier
and now he does to Bachman
is he bored ???
Bachman is going to get it! Rick, will hit back.
Bachmann...oh dear. She won’t be Perry’s VP.
