Where: Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa.
When: 9 p.m. EST, 6 p.m. PST, Saturday, December 10, 2011. Debate scheduled to last two hours.
Broadcast on: ABC Televsion.
Moderators: Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos.
Candidates: Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum.
“Well, they tried to GET Newt on defense, and failed miserably. He swatted each of their catty little questions away like pesky flies.
The guy really IS a master debater. If he get the nomination, can you imagine what he would do to Obama in a debate?”
Yes, ABC did all they could to take Newt down in this debate. Newt still came across very well despite all the obstacles. You have to hand it to him.
Agreed about Perry.I think he will take the lead again.I think Bachmann will move up as well.The MSM demonizes them all.
Who did’nt think to put 200’ of primercord and programming that arms it after take off and gps so if it looses radio contact it dosen’t land in enemy territory it blows up instead. I’d rather loose $4 mil than supersecret tech.

Good to hear.
If that is his true intent, then far better to keep your opinion to yourself until you become President.
I didn’t say it was by far THE best debate. I said it was Perry’s best debate.
Yes, I watched the Huckseter thing. It was good, but it was quite explicity NOT a debate as the candidates couldn’t possibly engage each other.

LOL!!! :-)
Someone was viewing it in real time. I'm betting Obama got the call at 3 am...and has a standing order to not awake him unless his life is in jeopardy.
One thing in Newt’s favor: At 68, it get harder to keep cheating. We don’t all have the stamina of, e.g., 75 year-old Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
Using her "logic", her win win win would become lose lose lose.
That just about sums up her chances.
So long as Palestinian nationalism was Ba’athist in flavor — which it once was, some of the more hard-line PLO types back in the day were Christians, possibly lapsed, but not into Ba’athist secularism, not Islam — there was a point in having an intermediary. Is there any more? Gaza is run by Hamas, and the PA has to hue to the Islamist line for fear of losing effective control of the West Bank to Hamas. Once it’s politicized Islam, rather than nationalism calling the shots, what’s to negotiate with?
Of course, ironically, Ba’athists would agree with Newt’s assessment: Ba’athism was (and is) a sort of pan-Arabist fascism, and denies there are national distinctions among Arabs.
You are not alone. I think he hates America. But this is just a stupid move. It will lower his numbers if our side will keep hammering on it.
Exactly, a truly stupid move on zeros part.
I recall he apologized the very next day......
When will you apologize for repeating the same tired lie?
Did you watch the debate or just come on this thread to knock Perry. Let’s hear whom you support and why.
I don’t knock other candidates...Obama is my enemy!
BTW...Fox News Bret Baier said the Perry won the debate tonight!
Yes. Perry walked away with this one. Loved it!
I would say that is up to Israel to decide whether they want to continue negotiations. Anyone familiar with domestic Israeli politics understands that there is significant support for continuing such negotiations and not shutting the door on any future talks. Even Bibi voices his willingness to negotiate—with certain preconditions, e.g., the other side recognizes Israel’s right to exist.
Sorry, I’m going off the article that Santorum agreed to a Lincoln-Douglas style debate with Gingrich and assumed one would take place. Perhaps not, if the Trump debate goes ahead as planned.
Romney needs to go home to his $10 million estate (the ‘summer White House’) in that dumpy little town in New Hampshire...save a few bucks.
And HILLARY CLINTON as VP in his hip pocket....
That will be sprung just when you think Obama’s polling can’t possibly go any lower, and will set off a media orgy of adoration, the likes of which you can barely even imagine, now.
I guess that I might be over estimating the intelligence of the voters.
