If only Mitt wasn’t so attractive, presidential looking and such a slick snake oil salesman.
A lot of idiots will be fooled by this RINO.

I really liked Santorum’s challenging and disputing crazy Ron Paul, though. He was passionate, and it was unfair that he got cut off yet Paul was allowed to talk overtime. What an irrational jerk (RP and his “fans” as well) - plus, he got a little mean as well.

Which one is the greater threat?

As I said, suicidal American hating warriors are a greater threat

I think you’re right. I was busy cooking and busy with the FReepathon thread there for a while.

Cain's response was correct. I think he has the answers, and would create some peace in our society by not pitting people against each other.

That has become our major problem...the continual push to create jealousy...not jobs...by the Democrats. And I believe Cain sees that and can change that.

If you’re not learning things about these candidates...you’re spending too much time defending the cowards and not listening.

I am very happy with all these candidates from their own perspective.

I'm happy that you're happy.

Based on this debate, I write off Paul, Pawlenty, and Huntsman. Romney will survive based on coffers. The rest will survive (so far) based on good skill on their feet.

My Little Pony Voice-—who is she and how did she end up on this panel? Monica Crowley would have been better.
