Would it be possible for people to keep the comments on topic about the debate and those participating in it.
I think they should set some sort of standard, and standard #1 should be ‘declared candidates only.’
I’m not against or for Bachmann, just saying, you are in or you are not.
Pawlenty knocking Obama pretty good...soft though
Mitt - Obama, blah, Obama, blah, Obama, blah...
Hey, Mitt, what are YOU going to do to fix it?
They’re all dumping on Obama. Shut up John King. Let them speak.
So Romney aligns himself with Pawlenty.
Bunch of losers.
I don’t even know what channel CNN is!
First mention of Reagan goes to
Gingrich!!
Romney tries to filibuster, wants to go into his history.
[The Romneycare creator can even criticize ‘Obamacare’ with a straight face.]
this 30 second thing is nuts!!!
Its a way to not let the Reps get their points out.
LOL
Romney getting of the point and onto him
BTW have I ever said I hate his whiny voice
Paul on point
Bachmann now repeal bill
Bachmann filed paperwork for her presidential run today.
BACHMAN ANANOUNCED SHE IS RUNNING!!
Yea...they are going after Obama...that’s the plan I understand.

Bachmann introduced the bill to repeal Dodd/Frank. While the media was busy blaming Republicans for the failure of the housing market.
WHY IS THE COMMENTATOR CRTICIZING THE rEPS PAST...??
She just declared she now is a candidate. Go Michele!
Cain is the ONLY reason I’m watching. If he weren’t on tonight, I’d be watching Master Chef.
