GREAT info! Thanks, sneakers!

[KansasGirl]

Also, no doubt Newt would take it straight to Obama. You can tell Newt absolutely despises the guy. He does not think Obama is worthy of the office he holds.

[tsowellfan]

A Newt/Obama debate would be as close as a Chaney/Obama debate we would ever see. That’s for sure.

[grey_whiskers]

I used to have headaches. Bad ones. Orbs, dots, sensitivity to light and smell. Upset stomach. Got married and they went away. So save it.

I've just *gotta* ask. Are you female? ("Not tonight, I have a headache" doesn't sound like it'd work too well for you.)

Cheers!

[caww]

I have never been so impressed with someone in a debate than with Newt tonight. Did NOT go in being a Newt fan.

Newt's a pro and a well seasoned debater. Plus he has a good fix on Washington. He's the most experienced in that respect. So natural he'd come off very good. But he is one of the old boys club.

[sneakers]

You’re welcome. The media keeps ignoring the rest of his experience and just portrays him as a guy who sold pizza!

[Vide]

Hell yes. Whetever happened to the Title of Nobility Clause?

Frankly, it sickens me to hear ex-senators/governors/presidents being addressed by their former rank. Stolen valor.

[Darth Republican]

Why don’t we ever organize our own debates with true conservatives as moderators?? Why??

Yhello, Yhello, Yhello

OK, It's debate time. Under God! Now if there are any RINO's here, get off the stage you bankbencher dumbasses.

THERE, I SAID IT! THANK ME!

Damn... we have to cut away already for a COCKAMAMIE COMMERCIAL!

OK Producer... play it as we go out to commercial...

Huh? I don't care what the ot retards at NBC or CBS or New York Slimes or Washington Compost say, what do they want to hear? Kumbaya? PLAY IT!

(as debate goes to commercial and as camera pulls back from stage in long shot, theme from 'Patton' plays in theater.)

[gov_bean_ counter]

No, I am not female, but my wife STARTED getting migraines after we married.

[grey_whiskers]

Huntsman looks like a combination of

a) Mr. Rogers
b) Dana Carvey
c) Jimmy Dhimmi Carter
d) a local actor from the Old Log Theatre in Excelsior, MN, named Tom Stolz

Cheers!

[TheConservativeParty]

Well that is a good point, they do need to expect to deal with a lot of aholes. I don’t recall even one “neutral” question. They all seemed like they were written by the DNC.

Wait, they were. (still trying to decide what gear to put my sarcasm in on that one)

[tomkat]

THAT is what makes the cØmmies bark at the moon !

oh my . . .

(and y'all know i don't mean the dandy formatting preceeding ;-)

[caww]

I’ve always liked Newt...but gosh he’d have to overcome the “image” of the old boys club and chumming to close with the Democrates. Don’t think he’ll be able to do that. many are looking for New blood in Washington....

[tsowellfan]

Huntsman... is he the one that looks like he may have a membership in the Log Cabin Republicans?

[eyedigress]

I see that happening as Hussein’s programs move forward. His Socialism Now is ripping up Wall St. I have a firm belief that whatever put him in office is much worse off than 4 years ago.

I am going to push Gingrich, the man is smart and believes in our founding fathers realm of free states with a limited central control.

[caww]

Sounds like I didn’t miss much except Newts slam on Chris....I will look for that tomorrow as I’m certain the media will show it.

[eyedigress]

I understand.

[tsowellfan]

he’d have to overcome the “image” of the old boys club and chumming to close with the Democrates

We could do it for him by winning the Senate with Tea Party people and increasing the majority of the House with more Tea Party.

We need to do that whether it's Herman Cain who wins or Romney.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Replay of debate NOW.

[grey_whiskers]

Can you photoshop?

Could you put Ron Paul's name onto this?

Cheers!
