And then there were three and a half minds left campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul.
Hosted by CNN's John King at the North Charleston Coliseum.
Millions of Americans agree with that statement and ratings for the despicable alphabet news channels prove it. We'd rather clean toilets than watch them spew democrat propaganda.
How the lamestream media big name news commentators can draw huge salaries when no one is watching them is a question only the current administration, their donors and enablers can answer.
You might be the most impossibly obnoxious noob this site has ever seen.
‘Big Government’ is a concept that is in direct conflict with the Catholic teaching of subsidiarity.
Not all Bishops are familiar with the concept of subsidiarity, so I will give you a pass while kindly suggesting you look it up.
Thanks for the information.
Here, try these.
Who voted for the Gun Manufacturer Liability Act of 1994 that prohibited the sale of guns without safety devices?
Who voted against the Death Tax repeal in 2003?
Who voted for No Child left behind?
Who voted for the perscription drug benefit?
Who voted for afirmative action(early in his career)?
Who voted for numerous minimum wage increases?
Who voted against the elimination of federal funding for National Endowment of the Arts numerous times?
Who voted for the federal Motor Voter law?
Who voted for milk subsidies?
Who voted for steel protections?
Who voted for the 1994 Clinton budget that contained the largest tax increase in US history?
Who voted for tabacco increases in 1998?
I'll give you a hint. His initials are RS.
I could go on...and I'm sure that you could too.
So what do you think my point is?
CNN re-playing debate now...Newt will soon be asked “THE question he cut loose on CNN for...

As long as Rick's father was a US citizen at the time of his birth (on US soil), then Rick is a Natural Born Citizen. It's not necessary for his father to have been a NBC.
Good Lord! Sarah Palin never uttered those words. That was Tina Fey on SNL.
Newt won. Romney, Paul and Santorum were all tied for 2nd, imo. Romney got booed, fgs, so he definitely didn’t win, Paul seemed irrelevant and Santorum was trying to be something he’s not - tough.
Newt Gingrich also held a conference today thanking Rich Perry for his support. :)
Palin didn’t say that. Where have you been?
Most pundits don’t truly try to put themselves into someone’s head to understand them. They try to inject themselves into others’ thinking...which is totally backwards and explains nothing.
I think you pegged the aura surrounding this debate which explains the entire thing...and that is something I haven’t really seen from anybody trying to figure out what happened tonight.
romney and santorum were like sharks swimming quietly in circles believing they smelled Newt’s blood in the water. John King might well have saved Newt’s candidacy tonight by simply doing exactly what Newt KNEW he would do. And therein lies the difference between Newt...and everybody else.
One disagreement I might have with you, which doesn’t really pertain to your excellent summary, is the idea that the exwife thing will hurt Newt much, if at all. I actually think it will come back on the ex far more. She should never have done this.
That is not what he said.
Newt said that he supports giving illegals who've been (otherwise lawful) in this country for 25 years or more, some sort of registered recognition, though NOT legal residency or US citizenship - AND - he would require them to return to their country of origin to get in the back of the line to apply for US citizenship.
He also mentioned requiring such people to have a US citizen sponsor.

Yup -
Pretty dandy “NAZI/Commie” resume there
Another FReeper posted a long comment with those on it recently
“Sleepers” in Congress.....
He has some interesting income sources too
.
I agree with you. Mercifully, my coughing spells spared me from some of the most boring parts!
I read your comments above your post to me, and I have to agree with you regarding Santorum. Until tonight, I never paid him much attention, but he’s little or no different from an argumentative teenager. I was aghast by his post-debate interview, which was almost as tacky as his debate performance.
I will give you a hint who created all these laws as of the
HOUSE in those years .
NEWT!
Yes Newt created all those laws since laws begin in the House !
Keep your propaganda straight next time !

(I can’t tell if this is posting)...LOL.
“I see some posters thought Newt made a great closing statement. I hope so.”
He did, and it got resounding cheers and applause. As I said, Ron Paul smirked when Newt was describing how dangerous BHO is - which was rather appalling.
If you like, time it so you can catch it - re-air of the debate is 10-12 and 1-3 (central time). Closing statements were in the last 10 minutes (approx.).
The Principle of SubsidiarityOne of the key principles of Catholic social thought is known as the principle of subsidiarity. This tenet holds that nothing should be done by a larger and more complex organization which can be done as well by a smaller and simpler organization. In other words, any activity which can be performed by a more decentralized entity should be. This principle is a bulwark of limited government and personal freedom. It conflicts with the passion for centralization and bureaucracy characteristic of the Welfare State.
This is why Pope John Paul II took the “social assistance state” to task in his 1991 encyclical Centesimus Annus. The Pontiff wrote that the Welfare State was contradicting the principle of subsidiarity by intervening directly and depriving society of its responsibility. This “leads to a loss of human energies and an inordinate increase of public agencies which are dominated more by bureaucratic ways of thinking than by concern for serving their clients and which are accompanied by an enormous increase in spending.”
