[struggle]

Holy crap, if you guys are talking about the right to privacy PLEASE TALK ABOUT OBAMA BEING ABLE TO LOCK YOU UP FOREVER.

[TADSLOS]

Ladies and Gentlemen, IT’S THE MITT ROMNEY SHOW!!! Ugh.

[TomGuy]

Steppie tries to set up a gotcha and it got him instead, re: contraception and states rights.

[MaxMax]

I think the talking heads are ignoring Newt because they dont want to be slapped
down for asking stupid strawman questions.

[Girlene]

Did Ron Paul say “I am the only Democrat here that....”?

IO didn't catch that, but anything's possible with that nut.

Now we're discussing whether states should ban contraception. Romney is asked whether Roe v Wade should be overturned - his answer, yes.

Santorum is now asked about Roe v Wade - agrees with Romney

[SamAdams76]

What a disgrace this debate is. Republicans reap what they sow when they allow liberals to moderate their debates.

That said, Mitt Romney actually did a good job fielding that "gotcha" question.

[Vermont Lt]

He and Perry should take out a deck of cards. Start playing rummy.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Santorum I believe in the right of privacy... I disagree that their is a right to privacy

What?

[Reddy]

Steph posed the entire question in the “constitutional right to privacy” of which there is none.

Good job, Santorum.

[Yaelle]

Someone should say “ how did you feel steffy when your WH sink was used as birth control for Monica Lewinsky?”

[Recovering_Democrat]

George Step-on-all-of-us is an ASSCLOWN!

...and like it or not, Mitt smacked him down pretty good.

[Kenny]

The crowd just basically booed Steffie.

[MaxMax]

Here we go with that DAMN GAY marriage crap!!

[Jane Long]

You’re right...libs do think abortion is a form of birth control. Sad.

[Vision]

ABC: “Now we are moving on to ‘family issues’.....like GAY RIGHTS”.

This is one for the record books.

[WeatherGuy]

[PennsylvaniaMom]

How much has Diane Sawyer had to drink?

[Pravious]

Geez, ANOTHER friggin’ question about gay marriage? In what alternative universe is THAT issue even in the top 1000 of meaningful questions to these candidates?

[dragnet2]

What is with all this gay cheet??

[show]

Ron Paul is a Democrat and just outted himself on live television.

Ron Paul HATES America and Hates Conservatives.
