wow, you're on that quick. why is the only response about FEMA that there was just now a hurricane? how does that prove him wrong that FEMA is a bureaucratic waste of money?

They are brain dead. NPR just came out with an article justifying Perry's unilateral executive order that 12 year old girls get an stds vaccine by saying a bunch of doctors think that vaccine is a good idea. This completely misses the point.

Yes, plus the fact, that their argument doesn't hold water. The drug was brand new, multiple people had died from it and quite a few doctors warned against it.

Politico makes it out to be a drama... like it's some movie and they are reviewing it for who sounded the best and did the best acting. How did that debate clarify that "Rick Perry is now the clear frontrunner" ... Oh, Politico, you mean the debate you hosted where you stroked Rick Perry all night... surprising that your post-analysis comes to the conclusion that he's still the frontrunner. Their jaw must be sore... and not from talking... they might need to invest in some knee pads as well. "last night it was Perry who was at the center of attention." No crap, because you were giving it to him. They framed it like it was a fight... "absorbed blows" ... "Rick Perry won't apologize for being Rick Perry". How about his political stances?? Or his record and how he never effectively refuted any of his bad policies... he just side-stepped them or attacked back. Paul, Newt, and Cain seemed to be the only ones that made sense and were offering solutions and not making low blows back and forth like two teenage girls.

All they wanted was for Romney and Perry to duke it out to see who got the most GOTCHYA! statements to declare them as the "frontrunner".

What a joke that debate was... seriously.
