Stay in the race until the end Newt and contribute to the brainpower of these debates, and then don't actually run because I don't want you to be President!
They’re using MB for cannon fodder.
Soundbite of the Night: Newt on the dumb idea of the Committee of 12 getting together in a room - while 523 people sit around waiting to hear if they are going to get shot in the leg or get their leg cut off the day before Thanksgiving.
/slight paraphrase
Sorry..IMO the Tea Party is not enough to ensure Obama is booted out of Office in 2012....
We want Obama out.....Sarah Palin is to risky IMO...
GOV. Perry has the support to ensure Obama starts packing!
I would give big money to see a Pubbie debate with Limbaugh, Hannity, and Levin as moderators! Why can’t we have actual conservatives moderating??? Why do we stand for this crap?
Bachman came across bitchy and if it makes you fell better so did Pawlenty. They both came across as losers.
Bachman hurt herself more than Pawlenty did as she had more to lose.
Newt is making strides tonight. I’ll have to catch the rest of the debate later, unfortunately...
me too. newt seems like a man on double dose of Viagra.
My Tv guide says replay at Midnight—
Gingrich is like the designated “hitter” on a hockey team. He’s doing a great work as an aggressive sheepdog protecting the herd against the wolves.
Seems to me Pawlenty’s strategy is ‘if I’m going down, Michele Bachmann is going down with me’. What a arsehole.
Listen to the debate....honestly tell me any one of these suits stand a chance to bring this country back from the precipice of Hell?
It's not about beating Obama but saving our Union....so with all due respect....Go to DU for you are closer to their material than we are.
Good on you Newt! What a beatdown!
Pray for America
Romney says ObamaCARE and RomneyCARE are
different because of one of Romney’s beliefs.
Chris Wallace moves in to protect his sweetheart, Milt.
Softball. ... Softball.... no interruption
Softball. ... Softball....
Softball. ... Softball....
Romney claims he knows the Massachusetts constitution
(which he sacked by imposing gay marriage).
I agree with that. Newt might be resurrecting himself tonight
” Go Newt!”
He keeps getting better in this - LOVED his angry derision of the insane Super Committee. GOOD one, Newt!
You have to admit, he’s unbeatable in debate scenarios.
Newt might be making himself relevant again because of his perfomance tonight. But, I still see him in more of a support role than in the role as decision maker.
Finally Romney takes some heat...
Wallace FORCING Mitt to answer on ROMNEYCARE!
Romney pushes 10th amendment defence of RomneyCare vs ObamaCare.
Wallace asking how he finds the mandate authority in the constitution, Romney says it doesn't exist for ObamaCare but says the MA constitution gives that authority.
