Moderators: Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos.
Candidates: Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum.
Agreed.
Can Diane Sawyer talk any faster?
golf grip LMAO!
Watched Diane Sawyer do the news one time, couldn’t believe it was pure communist propoganda from beginning to end.
If Sawyer’s drunk, that’s a plus. It’s her only chance to show some personality.
Wonderful recap!
Go Santourum! He’s kicking butt on the Social Security Question......
Sawyer’s question is going on forever; on Texas pipeline and tax cut.
Bachmann disagrees with the payroll tax cut. Detrimental - took away $100 billion from SS. Some on stage agree with Obama. She’s passionate and specific.
Romney in favor - doesn’t want to raise taxes on those suffering. Just a bandaid. President in office for 3 years disjointed criticism - commenting on crisis - no solutions.
Santorum - is there a SS trust fund or not? Serious discussion needed. Very passionate and a bit hysterical
Paul wants to cut spending overseas. Mad as hell.
Gingrich not asked to respond.
She is the poster babe for Quaaludes
SHe is so caught up in hearing herslef yap, as are ALL of the alleged “moderators” of these debates...and I detest her “I am elite media, I can talk down to anyone I choose” tone in her voice.
OK...back to the debate....and the caterpillar crawl
George says, “all of you have been begging”? And no questions for Newt?
Oh my! Ron Paul says he could fix Social Security by closing U.S. embassy in Baghdad.
Steffy with the GIGANTIC SOFTBALL to Mittens.
Courtesy of the fine folks at Conservatives for Palin... :-)
Steffy is now trying to get them to turn on each other by claiming which is the most conservative of the group.
Here comes the ATTACK GINGRICH segment from the Gingrich-hating Stephy, exactly as predicted!
The only thing that worries me about these debates are we telling the left what to concentrate on in their attack on our candidates?
Stuffy Stephy now trying to get the candidates to go after one another/ Slick "expletive deleted."
Notice they’re not giving Newt or Perry the mic.
That’s who they don’t want to run against.
The only good thing I can say about Diane Sawyer is that she isn’t Christiane Amanpour...I was afraid when I tuned in I’d see her sitting there with that “my that lemon was sour” face on.
End of Round 1:
Diane Sawyer completes the round by pimping Romney.
She claims only he answered (when in fact he lied and avoided the direct answer).
Round 2:
Democrat/RomneyBOT Diane Sawyer: “What about the Payroll Tax Cut?”
Michele Bachmann “Extension should not have been there in the first place. .... It is an Obama gimmick.”
Sawyer puts down Bachmann and gives a lead to Romney (again).
Mitt Romney: Changes topic to discuss unemployment (ignored by Sawyer). Talks about ‘bandaids’.
Changes topic to investment in America (ignored by the swooning Sawyer).
Stephanopoulos interrupts and with audicity answers the question for everyone else.
Will not let anyone else answer now that Romnety was given time and lauding.
Rick Santorum interrupts and explains his position for a tax cut that works.
Ron Paul: Changes topic to war in Iraq and contractors (ignored by Sawyer).
Stephanopoulos closes it out, only and Bachmann Romney weres allowed to answer in Round 2.
Stephanopoulos then allows Romney to talk about his conservatism.
Only Romney.
Conclusion: This is an overtly fixed “debate” set up for Romney.
Romney takes the bait!
