Subscribe to RSSOn the day of Republican presidential debate in Manchester, N.H., former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R) gave reporters a preview of what to expect.
"The object isn't to stir some internal rift in the Republican Party. The focus here is to get Barack Obama out of the White House," Pawlenty said. "He broke just about every major promise he made when he was running for president of the United States. And he needs to leave."
On how this debate will be different than the last debate in South Carolina when Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich did not participate, Pawlenty said, "Well, there'll be more people."
"So everybody brings a little something different to the race and to the debates," he added. "And so we'll have a robust and good debate about the future of the country."
Pawlenty added that his recent talk about the similarities of the federal health care law and the program Romney started in Massachusetts "wasn't to take a swipe at Mitt Romney." He said that pointing out policy differences during a debate is "fair game."
"I don't think contrasting policy difference between candidates during a debate is out of bounds in a debate," Pawlenty said. "The American people want to know what do you stand for, what do you believe. And if you get asked a question about how that differs from other proposals, I think that's fair game."

When Bat Sh!t Bachmann won't comment on him you know he's in deep dodo!
Let the blood letting begin... lol
He can ask Dick Cheny's lawyer friend about what's fair game in the GOPs opinion.
Don't forget to dusk.
Feisty, that's so concise and perfect.
Where DO you buy those hatpins?
LoL Why don't they just cut to the chase, sing Kumbaya, and head out for a round of Coors?
Why do I NOT believe this?
Well, the propaganda and lies being sold by the GOP will certainly take center stage tonight.
Broke almost every major promise? NOT:

The list is seven pages long - of promises kept.
The Republicans have nothing. So they have to make up stuff and attack, attack. Becuaue when their record is examined, it's empty.
Poor Pawlenty, the race is yet to garner steam and your economics has already left shores to no where.
I hope he gets to be asked questions on his taxation formula.
Or maybe those deficits that mysteriously appeared the minute he walked out the door of the Minnesota governor's mansion.
"The object isn't to stir some internal rift in the Republican Party. The focus here is to get Barack Obama out of the White House," Pawlenty said. "He broke just about every major promise he made when he was running for president of the United States. And he needs to leave."
Sooooo, you're saying that you agree with the major promises he made while running for President and you're just mad at him for allegedly breaking those promises?
Also, if your elected President and the Congress doesn't pass your silly economic plan does that mean you broke a promise? It's been a while, but I thought there was a legislative process to enact laws in this Country. The President wants to close Gitmo, but the Congress won't sign on to that plan...to look at that and simply say the President broke a campaign promise is dumb on it's face and an insult to our process of governing.
IMO, it's these type of immature 'I'm rubber you're glue' type statements that make the current crop of GOP candidates nothing but a bunch of rich duds who do nothing but like to hear themselves talk.
I think Gov. Rick Perry and CEO Herman Caine would make a terrific President - Vice President combination. They both know how to create jobs.
I agree, they can offer a free Godfather's pizza voucher to anyone that votes for them. That would stimulate the the flour industry, tomato sauce industry, peperoni industry, sausage industry and create alot of pizza delivery jobs also.
If you're in need of health care, you can use the voucher at your doctors office like they use chickens for health care in Nevada. Who needs Ryan's voucher when you can use a pizza voucher to barter with.
Then we can allow every state who wants to to secede from the union to sucede and have complete states rights. That would also make government smaller by not needing to pay the federal workers because their wouldn't be any left.
They'll get my vote as long as the pizza is a supreme.
Given how big Texas is, the number of jobs relative to population might be useful. Overall, Gov. Perry "created" some 270,000 jobs, but the state lost a net of nearly 230,000 jobs. (2009 statistics). For the same period, Ohio "created" 133,000 jobs, and lost 97,500. The population of Texas is 25,880, 000 + and that of Ohio is 11,536,000.

===================
How do they know how to create jobs...and further more, how is that know how supposed to translate into job creation if they were sitting in the Presidency? Just saying they know how to create jobs is not going to put in 10 million people back into meaningful, livable work.
"TIMMY!" The "Poltical Puke Pawlenty!!" The most boring guy to come out of South Park. Maybe if the Koch Brothers pay TIMMY enough money? He and his band from South Park will play their hit song. "TIMMY!" That is if the Circus Music does not make them deaf first. What a joke America!
On your mark, get set.......
Go!!!!!!
Let the rants begin.
Pawlenty is a nice guy and to compete with another nice guy Romney he can not afford to be obnoxious as Gingrich.
Im hearing that Godfather Pizzas are delivered in a bullet proof vest wrapped in newspaper!! Anyone else hear that too???
