GOP New Hampshire primary debate tonight on ABC at 9pm ET

By Nate, on January 7th, 2012

Tonight will mark the first of two debates this weekend focused on the New Hampshire Republican primary. This evening's debate will take place at Saint Anselm College and is sponsored by ABC News, Yahoo! and WMUR. Sunday morning will feature a GOP debate broadcast on NBC at 9am ET (yes, am) but look for more details on that later today.

Air Time: Saturday, January 7th at 9pm ET / 6pm PT on ABC

Live Stream: WMUR and Yahoo! News

Participants: Santorum, Romney, Paul, Perry, Gingrich, Huntsman

Report from WMUR:

[okie01]

I think it is impossible to sway voters from Romney because they are 95% Mormon.

Psssssssttt.

Mormons account for only about 1.6% of the U.S. population -- 2% of the 82% who are Christian.

Perry was great tonight and would be even better if the biased moderators would give him the same time as the others.

The three from ABC are without a doubt the worst moderators on TV.

Great point - they’ll simply wait until he has it locked up (which hopefully won’t happen), and THEN they’ll vet him...just as they did with McCain (not that he needed it).

I believe 100% that the MSM wants Romney to get the nomination because of his baggage. They would interview every person they could find that worked at a company that was bought and gutted by Bain, they would interview Romney's relatives in Mexico, they would look at the lack of military service in the Romney family, they would look at his dad, they would look at his religion, they would make sure everybody knows who Warren Jeffs is and try and make the association with Mormons, etc. etc.

And while Romney would discourage many of us from voting for him, he would do wonders for Obama's base.

Perry does have the best economic plan. He wants to immediately open all energy sources, a flat tax, and massive deregulation. Best of all wants to get rid of Obamacare on day #1

Stop Omuslim from throwing billions down Islamic sh*t holes:

Obamas 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and passed by the full committee.
It gives billions http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/05/1...
of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support Sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies.
Read the summary from David Obeys office that was quietly released last week with nary a word from any media.

$3.6 billion, matching the request, to expand and improve capabilities of the Afghan security forces

$400 million, as requested, to build the counterinsurgency capabilities of the Pakistani security forces

Obama gives your tax dollars to rebuild Muslim mosques around the world

ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WILL GIVE AWAY NEARLY $6 MILLION OF AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS TO RESTORE 63 HISTORIC AND CULTURAL SITES, INCLUDING ISLAMIC MOSQUES AND MINARETS, IN 55 NATIONS. See the State Department document here.

And THAT’S just the tip of the iceberg.
THIS will blow your mind!!

They should have 2010 up, but they don’t. That’s where you’ll find Obama’s largesse towards Muslim countries really go off the charts.

RP= Ron Paul. Wasn’t even thinking about the RP Rick Perry. Oops.

[Friendofgeorge]

Neither one of them is even on the Virginia ballot?

[RitaOK]

FOX Business is decent tonight. Erick recognizes Romney is no tea party. I’ll check out the other threads.

[o-n-money]

ABC in New York just opened up their news broadcast saying the Republicans agreed on nothing. Do they watch their own channel?

[lonevoice]

I listen to Rush every day, and I’ve never heard him say that.

[Jane Long]

I thought Mary Matalin was Catholic.

[onyx]

I was shocked! I’d never shoot poison into my face!

[altura]

I don’t care what Romney says, he would NOT fight Obamacare.

Obamacare is the single most destructive social program in the country.

Santorum made a big deal about drastic (and murky) changes to the Social Security, but who’s talking about stopping Obama care?

[TADSLOS]

YES and Donna Brazille is right. Democrats KNOW Romney is the weakest candidate!

Yeah, a lefty actually telling the truth out loud on national TV. I'll bet the WH was frantically calling Stephie boy to get her to shut up!

[Prokopton]

Santorum is too focused on the little things.

Santorum's answer accusing Obama of dividing the Country by "class" was one of the best statements of the debate, encompassing an overiding difference between him and Obama based on fundamental conservative principles, not "little things".

[Yaelle]

Exactly. Interns could breathe easier and the American people wouldn’t have to worry about a boring president always getting into pissing matches.

[make no mistake]

he’ll get that Perry=conservative delusion right out of his head.

You talk like a poor little RICH kid. Try moving to CA and then maybe you can appreciate Perry=Conservative

[Munz]

OMG - I wish someone could put it up on youtube

[Rome2000]

Cult membership related stress?

She was always a masochist, nice lady, but twisted.
