Good point; they probably forgot about the recess appointment, knowing that our little Republican national “leadership” doesn’t want to hear about it either.

Because it’s hard to go off topic without looking silly. You kinda have to respond to the questions as given, unless you can smoothly tangent your way into a related issue.

Sat and Sunday, spent some time in Gay marriage, IMO USA has more important issues. I could not figure out the agenda for contraception and George Stephy insistence on an answer.

Newt would be able to marginalize hussein in any debate. However, I strongly doubt that hussein would consent to debate him. I don’t think there is any law that says they must debate and even if there is—laws don’t mean a stinkin’ thing to the king.

The contraception question was meant to marginalize Rick Santorum. They were using Romney to do so, only, to his credit, Romney did manage to turn it back on Steffy.

It was ridiculous.

"You kinda have to respond to the questions as given, unless you can smoothly tangent your way into a related issue."

How about this for a "segway": We have a President who has already destroyed the economy, and is now violating the constitution by making a recess appointment while the senate is not in recess, and you're asking an inane question about contraception? I refuse to waste my time on such a stupid topic, and will talk about the constitutional crisis that the president has started.

How could ANYONE watching the 1st ten minutes of this not come across with the clear impression that Newt is a no BS guy who’s telling the truth... and Romney is a slick politician who will say ANYTHING to get elected.

McCain was repugnant. I loathed the man. But at least he didn’t hide who he was. With Romney, I get the impression it’s ALL a facade.

I HATE that we’re in this position. After 8 years of Clinton, 8 years of Bush and 3.1 years of Obama I desperately want a President I can actually feel GOOD about.

Watched it, thanks.

They sure seemed to give Romney more face time than anyone else in the debate.
