One of the commenters on the ABC Internet feed is from Center for American Progress, a Soros-funded highly partisan outfit.

You have to love the Republican leaders for setting out these debates.

Ratings So Far


“Debate”: Rigged for Romney. As the MSM agrees, he gets special
“softball” and “freebe” questions. Also extra time.
Choice excerpts during commercials for Romney, too. Lies are
shown, and not rebuttals with corrections (eg. by Gingrich).

Moderators: Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos -
absolutely no critical followup; swooning with love and
obviously on their knees for Mitt Romney
Very protective of Obama. When he is mentioned they
bring it back to Gingrich.

Candidates: Newt Gingrich Eloquent - The Clear Truthful Winner

Rick Perry Michele Bachmann 2nd Place Winners

Mitt Romney Childish, “Ten thousand bucks”.
Forever has the heart of ABC and the MSM.
Lies continuously, and lies are condoned by ABC.

Agreed - Newt is winning - and the audience agrees

Kudos to Perry for slamming the MEDIA re Newt’s ‘Palestinian’ remark - and pointing out it’s OBAMA that’s the problem and who’s making the problems

LOVE that he brought up the FACT that Obama GAVE the drone to Iran - and handed Egypt and Libra over to Islamists -

He turned their attempt to sink Newt for telling the truth and crammed it down their throats...they - and the other candidates were hoping to capitalize on this and sink Newt. FAIL - ahahaha - they need the commercial break to wipe the egg off their faces....they just lost their ammo

Thank you, Rick!

Since you are so picky....by not buy. : )

I do the same thing every now and then.

You are right it was not a predator drone, but it is an aggressive move on our part. We are invading their airspace and therefore, acting as a predator. ; ) That's my story and I am sticking to it. : )

Not my man either, and I am so glad that Perry’s doing well and showing his true character.

He does not have a speech impediment by the way. Or, if he does, everybody I know does.

My husband talks so slowly that I keep thinking he’s through and I say something and then he thinks I keep interrupting him.

What a question.

“Okay! Prove you were a worthless poor schlub who couldn’t pay his electric bill! Unless you were, you’re not worth of running the country!”

Ah, the things that are important to the left.

Agreed. What an asinine question. It’s completely irrelevant.

Why not re-word it, “You guys have more money than me, so tap-dance or apologize.”

Perry looked good speaking up for Newt. Even though Perry took a long time getting there at least he finally arrived and got his point across.

Perry would do a whole lot better with a paid public speaking coach putting him through some pressurized exercises. Too many people assume that public speaking is something you’re born with or not.

I keep feeling sorry for Perry which lowers my confidence in his ability to lead this country.
