Newt with amazing grasp of mid east problems. Crowd applauses.
Love the way he thinks.
Gingrich, Santorum and I hate to admit Romney are all doing pretty well I think.
My confidence in our field went up this evening so far.
Good debate. Newt’s smackdown of the media was awesome.
Love it
I will go to Iraq if it means that our efforts wern’t for naught.
Take that leftist meme and shove it.
Perry messed up on the Iraq thing. I don’t think anyone wants to go back.
Ron Paul finally acknowledge being a democrat.
It is a FACT that Ron Paul Referred to himself in a live debate as being the only democrat.
Ron Paul is a snake in the grass and is on their to take votes away from conservatives. This is a FACT and he finally acknowledged it during a LIVE debate.
Ron Paul is a Democrat who is able to list as a Republican which is an utter LIE.
Ron Paul is a Democrat and needs to have integrity and quit representing himself as a Conservative.
Ron Paul: You openly Hate Conservatives while embracing and supporting Zero. Please quit acting like you are a Conservative which you clearly are not.
Ron Paul.. You need to GROW UP. And quit trying to sell yourself as a Conservative. If you attempt to sell yourself as a Conservative, you are a LIAR... You are a MESS. So tired of peopel posing as Conservatives who really are not. Get your own messages and leave Conservatives alone. WE will never Like you.
ABC Panel thinks infrastructure building is the way to create jobs.
We got a fight on our hands to keep Newt UP there. Like you...I feel so very strongly about this intelligent man...a true leader. America needs him. God help us IF he is not the gop nominee
They want to portray Repubs as bigots and homophobes.
I think this is the type of talk that hurts Gingrich. Everyone in the "debate", except Paul, showed a grasp of the issues. Santorum was particularly good on the middle east. Gingrich has been good, but not overwhelmingly so.
Newt’s back on his game. He just needs to stay above the fray. With the exception of Paul, any of them will be an improvement of the clown that’s in office now. Paul is an embarrassment.
IMO Paul reminds me of a weasel.
Yup, I’ve been on the Newt ping list since close to its inception I think. :)
He’s the only one I really see consistently talking about ideas; the rest just drone about their talking points.
Christ on a crutch the MYTH ROMNEY show is on
Newt always rises in the polls after the debates.
He falls when there are no debates, and the voters have to rely on what they see in the media to make their choice.
And that's a problem. There are only so many debates and the media will NEVER will him equal time.
The moderator actually had a GOOD question, asking each candidate what their plans were. So instead of letting them answer, they had another guy ask a specific question about how great Obama is doing on job creation.
