[George W. Bush]

Mitt: "It's more than Osama bin Laden. But he is going to pay. And he is going to die."

Wow! Red meat.

[CounterCounterCulture]

NO AMENDING FOR ARNOLD!!!

[petercooper]

Hey McCain— there is no proof Osama is alive

[johnny7]

Romney is cool and collected...

[Right_in_Virginia]

What’s left for Rudy to say?

I worked in the Reagan administration??

[AliVeritas]

I’ll see your ‘move heaven and earth’ and ‘raise you to the gates of hell’.

[don-o]

Question about immigration and McNut promises to pursue Bin Laden to gates of hell. I’m about done with this

[kidd]

OK, Paul gives the right answer on foreigners for POTUS

[spectre]

Huckabee gave a slick answer to that question...It's his style.

sw

[Vision]

Why was that a question? Ridiculous.

[Trueblackman]

Rudy makes me want to phucking puke on this question.

[BurbankKarl]

It’s a little late for McCain to be up isnt it?

[La Enchiladita]

Too cool, too smooth, too cliched... that’s Romney.

[NittanyLion]

McCain came off as certifiable with that statement.

[Right_in_Virginia]

I didn’t come to this debate with a “dog in the fight”...but, I’m wanting to hear more from Romney.

[Raquel]

“You can tell Hunter is a threat to the liberals, they do all they can to keep him off the TV and 1 question to him and others 2-4 each”

This is so unfair!! Damn liberals, talking about Arnold now, they love liberal Republicans.

The more they ignore Duncan, the more I want to support him!

[Old_Mil]

Yeah, you’re right. This unequal distribution of questions is absurd.

[Mr. Blonde]

Seems to me the governors are doing much better than the congressmen and mayor. Especially Romney though.

[mylife]

Oh they are all happy to yukk it up joking about changing the constitution!

Only Thompson and Paul answered seriously

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

threat, not thread.

Guiliani certainly talks fast. Why are they asking him what he regrets with his dealings with the AFrican American community in NYC? Talked about moving thousands off welfare. Who is that other moderator? He just put forth the idea again that Republicans had black Americans - the jerk.
