When do we get to Perry? The most conservative candidate in the debate?

Only people polling in double digits get asked questions in the first half hour.

It sucks

"Newt Romney"

Wasn't he the old time football coach who was killed in the plane crash??


You are probably thinking of the guy that 'Lambert' Field was named after.

Wow! Now Stephanopoulos invites Bachmann to join in the Newt bashing. We’re running against Obama, for crying out loud.

It's a full-on hit job on Newt.

I liked Newt’s answer in one of the other debates, where they tried to get him to go after Romney on something and he flatly refused.

Obviously, the other candidates on this stage don’t have that class. Bachmann seems both desperate AND delusional if she thinks she’s going to get ANOTHER 15 minutes of fame.

They are attacking Romney pretty good too.

I think Romney looks a little sick, thinner, I hope he’s well, sincerely.

Round 4:
Ms. Michele Bachmann takes off, trying to separate herself from the
others on Global Warming and RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE.

Newt Gingrich responds and corrects here explaining that
he was against Obamacare and AGW.
He shows she is inaccurate. Great defense.

Mitt Romney smirks when RomneyCARE is mentioned.
[The backstabbing tyrant KNOWS it is HIS stamp which created this.]
Mitt Romney “defends” himself by attacking Gingrich.
Mitt Romney denies his role in ObamaCARE. Liar.
Mitt Romney denies his advisor’s role in ObamaCARE. Liar.
Mitt Romney lies about RomneyCARE claiming there was no change in Mass. Liar.

Stephanopoulos and Sawyer allow Romney to lie with no followup.

Instead, Gov. Rick Perry corrects the lying Romney.

Sawyer gives Romney more time (again, as before).

Round 4: Tie: Gingrich, Bachmann, and Perry in 2nd.

I thank the Governor of Texas for speaking up for those of us in Massachusetts who are suffering under RomneyCare.

Michele is outing the BIG GOVERNMENT Mitt and Newt.

Now Perry is coming on.

Let’s sort the CONSERVATIVES from the nonconservatives.
