LOL I could see Anderson shedding a tear as he said it!
He is the worst moderator in any debate yet. He has no handle on the situation. When was the last time Santorum spoke, for example?
Here is a sure fire way...start a thread endorsing Romney... JUST KIDDING.., as I run away fast. :)
Cain/Newt, and call it a day!
The audience is plainly stacked for Mitt...
This audience is pathetic. Enough with coddling the RINO and booing anyone who questions him.
I think the fence + technology + boots on the ground is the standard demand for securing the border, which is a part of stopping illegal immigration. Stopping the magnets is another part, like getting rid of in-state tuition.
Perry’s dog is not hunting...
Muck Mitt!
Good answer Gingrich.
“Wow....Audience just booed Perry!”
And deservedly so.
Split screen... Newt gives another great answer. Mitt smirks at him.
He’s booed because he attacked Mitt
You got the “666” post!!
Gingrich handled the Latino community question very well.
I wish he hadnt tried to make Romneys law crew out to be the problem.
Cain’s plan is pretty much the same as what Perry has been saying all along.
Oh look. Wayne Newton. In a Vegas audience. Go figure. LOL!
No. That was addressed in Plyler vs Doe and when CA Prop 187 was declared unconstitutional in the 1990s. That's why Mitt saying "shut off the magnets" has no teeth. The Supreme Court has said magnets, like social services and K-12 education cannot be shut off under the 14th amendment.
Is Newt Pro-life?
I am just falling in love with Newt!
Mitt can be rattled. That much is emerging. The Obama camp is analyzing this very, every closely, if God forbid, RomneyRINO is nominated. Might I add, that CNN is really full of shit on this Latino issue. Straw dog argument. Editorializing in their line of questions.
Romney’s magnets:
Hey Mitt we can’t eliminate the magnets.
Well, the biggest magnet is money, and we all want MORE of that. Another big magnet is fair laws and efficient policing, not perfect, but 100 times better than Mexico. And we all want Justice to work.
