The last debate before the January 3rd Iowa caucuses is being held tonight in Sioux City.
We get seven candidates at this debate: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum and Jon Huntsman.
Fox's Bret Baier anchors the debate. Fox News panelists questioning the candidates: Chris Wallace, Megyn Kelly and Neil Cavuto.
>> Judging by the comments here, I’m afraid that tactic appears to be working.
Certainly you’re not referring to Bachmann’s relentless attack on Newt?
She’s not helping her image with the ankle biting.
Thank you for posting this. I frequently use a herbal tea, lemon flavor, which I get from a local (HEB-Central TX) grocery chain, which is made from lemongrass (cymbopogon citratus). It doesn’t taste really bad, but I mix it with Tazo Chai tea, and it then tastes great. The lemongrass is a known antibiotic and anti-fungal.
I like Bachmann but when has she called out Romney in a debate?
Not $10,000. She will endorse the nominee whomever that is. I don’t think she’ll endorse in the primary season.
This “way over her head” garbage is more leftist MSM talking points. The want everyone to believe that it takes a Rocket-Scientist like Policy wonk to be the POTUS.
Well take a look at Obama. When he took office, he set out to fundamentally transform this country into a socialist utopia. Despite the lack of executive experience, wouldn’t you agree that he’s doing a stand up job destroying America as we know it?
Being President is not rocket science. Congress is not rocket science. If the government worked properly, we would never hear of them because they would only be taking care of inherent functions.
To me the President needs to be able to do 4 things:
1-Support/Propose/Sign/Execute Legislation that helps promote the American Way (free markets, capitalism, etc)
2-Strongly Oppose/Veto Legislation that will harm the American way
3-Appoint Judges that interpret the Constitution in its original intent
4-Defend and kick the a$$ of America’s enemies and promote the American way of life around the globe as the example to follow.
Anyone could manage these four tasks. It’s been explained over and over by Limbuah and Levin that this “over their head” garbage is pure cr*p. It’s part of the leftist intelligencia inside the belway BS.
Bachmann doesn’t add anything? I guess not, unless you realize that she and Santorum are the only real legitimate conservatives on stage worthy of being TRUSTED to do the right thing. But other than that, /sarc
No, I'm not stupid enough to believe that ANY President can do that. Makes for a good speech, tho.
as if anyone is up late panting for my opinions:
I thought Newt did well...very well in fact....he handled the onslaught from shameless Mitt-Ailes-Rupert FOX and deftly handled Miss “You do know I’m a Lawyer Right?” Kendall...he sliced and diced her and the others circling him hoping to gain the Big Mo off his bones
If Levin and Rush are defending him and the Beltway types and total nut Beck are on his ass then we must be right here supporting him at this stage
I thought Michelle imploded and looked bad...and I loved her and still like her views but she does not have “it”
Romney sadly...did well..he just does...not like Newt but adequate against the rest of them.
Rick ...God love him...just ain’t ready but he means well but for all the talk here that he’s more conservative than Newt ...his ACU is 86 lifetime and Newt’s is 94...only 2 less than Sir Jesse Helms
Paul...the Planter’s candidate...the best nut...you learned tonight why college dopers and lefties love him so...i mean..u gotta be kidding...I thought I was listening to the ghost of Abbie Hoffman with no sense of humour...unlike dear Abby
Huntsman...that dark haired daughter of his makes him tolerable...and only that...she is world class beaut
Perry...just ain’t got it...but I do like him
‘
It’s Newt’s to lose and it’s evident he is up to the challenge
Were I Obama I would fear him in a debate...all of them on that stage sure did..he is simply awesome...incredible to watch those eyes glint and move as he shifts about already several remarks ahead of the questioner...God really maxed out on him
He is the Arnold Rothstein of today’s GOP
Santorum doesn’t realize it, but he just made the case for Gingrich as the Nominee.
Newt Gingrich is The Master in the practiced art of jawjitsu!
That was a good read. Thank you for sharing.
Newt got 2 PBA bans through Congress what anti abortion has Bachmann gotten through congress?
As a matter what concrete accomplishment does she have since she has been in congress?
I really hope some big endorsements come Newt’s way soon to counter the attack of the RINOs. Sounds like Giuliani has been speaking out for him this week. Not sure if it was an official endorsement. But it seems like Newt has a good chance at a trifecta of endorsements from the former Republican candidates Palin, Cain and Trump. I just hope they come sooner rather than later so Newt doesn’t lose both Iowa and New Hampshire, which could suck the wind out of South Carolina and Florida.
While I always watch O'Reilley and Bret Bair, I rarely watch Hannity, and never Greta. Many here on FR have given their opinion that Hannity was/is in the tank for Mitt. I did have that feeling awhile back, but I'm not so sure now. But I do believe that Tokyo Rove, Krauthammer, and even Brit Hume, whom I had immense respect for, are totally aghast and apoplectic at the thought of a President Gingrich, or maybe just a Presidential nominee Gingrich.
I'm convinced that Newt is who we need right now, he is a giant among midgets.
That isn’t serious reasoning.
bttt
Been there, done that. And totally doped up from caesareans.
Did Newt actually say he teaches Admirals the art of war? Is he on drugs. He never served a day in his life. The Navy is in bad shape then.
tks...i came in right after Tebow moment...I was amazed at the FOX vitriol towards Newt..wow..and the assists they gave the others..which Michelle really jumped on...
Newt musta really angered Ailes and Rupert somewhere down the line
It is funny how the crazies keep insisting Newt is a big Washington insider yet Romney gets endorsements.
$20,000,000 is coming from one donor. That's one hell of an endorsement.
