Another lie from Mitt: Romney's Fannie and Freddie Investments Not Blind Trusts:
I pray we somehow get this out tomorrow. I thought he looked really sneaky talking about the blind trust, didn’t know he’d out and out lied.
For a week, I have been hearing Fox News, Drudge, certain so called conservative shows blasting out one hit piece after another to bring Newt down. These people have an agenda, and I don't think it is for the good of the average person. I listen to the Don Wade and Roma show, and they have been lining up one pundit after another to bash Newt and boost Romney.
This is what we're facing. Where do you stand?
I thought Santorum and Paul looked best. I just cannot believe Romney or Newt. I know Newt’s the anointed one here at FR, but I don’t trust him. I’ll vote for him over Obama any day, but if Santorum’s still in it I’ll support him.
Santorum seemed sincere and earnest. Both Newt and Romney seemed snippy and childish. Newt’s moon idea is pure pandering and a dumb distraction. If Romney lied about the blind trust it’s just another lie to stack on the pile.
Newt has had two straight somewhat weak debates. He appears tired, low volume, out of sync. He should get a debate coach, same as romney, or is Newt’s ego above that?
From looking at Intrade, Romney won, Gingrich lost. Even though I’m rooting for Santorum, he didn’t distinguish himself.

FUMR! FURP! Go Newt GO! Rebellion is at hand!
I thought most of what Paul said was disjointed and scatterbrained. What did I miss?
Just finished watching. Had to wait til everyone got home.
My guy did wonderfully! Santorum was strong and had a lot of sharp moments. He was at his best when talking about foreign policy, but even when he distanced himself from the two front runners he was still classy and not whiny.
Newt seemed more petty and bitchy than I’ve seen him, and was one time at least back on the ropes. First time I’ve seen that in this whole election season, and I’ve seen every one of the 352 debates so far. The mud fights between him and Romney were won by Romney.
Ron Paul was Ron Paul. He had some good moments but I am not sure there would even be an Israel after his first term as president.
I think if I had to pick a winner for tonight, it would be Santorum. I’m biased, but he came out with a strong, principled fight for the party’s nomination.
I saw tonight as a character-revealing debate. Romney revealed that he really hates to lose. He had more to give after Tuesday, and he scratched his way back to the lead over Newt.
Ron Paul showed that he is a decent person, nothing phony about him. What you see is what you get with Paul.
Santorum showed that while this is new to him, he is fully capable of demonstrating the kind of leadership and moral vision we need in our top leader. He knew he had to really bring it, and he did. He is earnest and showed new strength.
Newt demonstrated arrogance and somewhat of a mean streak when he felt put upon. It wasn’t flattering to him. I wonder if it will hurt his lead. I feel vindicated that I just can’t bring myself to like him. I think he is who I fear he is.
I agree.
1. Santorum
2. Paul
3. Newt
4. Romney
They’re all going to release their health records, how cool a question is that!
