[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Debate among the GOP presidential contenders. Live at 9:00pm EST/8:00 CST

[NYC Republican]

You’re a total jackass

[Pravious]

Romney’s answer sounded thoughtful. McCain’s sounded like he was pandering.

[DoughtyOne]

Why shouldn’t they? How many assault weapon death are you aware of?

[Timeout]

Good point by Romney that people in Iowa shouldn’t have to pay for people with beach front property.

It's wrong, though. Do you think Iowans didn't pay for New Orleans? We all pay for it now.

[Syncro]

Most of them are. Catch up

[rintense]

McCain can kiss my ass. Why should I as a taxpayer pay for others hurricane insurance?

[Scarchin]

You nailed it!

[Kaslin]

I have no idea who the president of Germany is, but Angela Merkel is the Chancelor

[GOPmember]

Are we done with the candidate-to-candidate questioning? Or, can Russert just not manage to keep his pie-hole shut?

[tioga]

I would have liked a question on castle doctrine laws....

[bw17]

The Fair Tax has *ZERO* chance of passing.

What is Huckabee’s plan when the Fair Tax plan fails to even get close to a 50% vote in Congress?

Will he cut taxes across the board?

Will he make the taxes on dividends zero percent like Romney would?

[magritte]

Rudy on Global Warming...huge contrast to McCain...nuclear power, clean coal, goodjob...magritte

[Shelayne]

I heard it, but I don’t have TV.

If they were talking about the debate, they really are a bunch of jerks.

ON DRUDGE NOW: Mama McCain: Son Has No Support From Base

She’s right about that.

[AliVeritas]

frink!

Rudy, tell him Global warming is bunk.

[Signalman]

Strawberries. Who took those strawberries!?

[top 2 toe red]

He is...and it's fine to say so. ;^)

Did you hear how Charles Krauthammer answered when Brit asked the panel, "Why is it the other GOP candidates don't like Romney?

Without pausing, Charles said, "Well, lets see, he's smart, he's handsome, and he's rich."

[FreedBird]

Are you saying McCain is having a silent mental rage going on in his mind? He is probably angry he is getting old too!

[khnyny]

Do you read lips? Lol. Actually, I’m not kidding.

[madison10]

Well, Romney supports the assault weapons ban, like most liberals.Myth also believes in the federal govt controlling 1/7th of the US economy -— HEALTH CARE!

Why do American citizens need assault weapons?
