I must confess I would love to see Newt debate the Teleprompter in Chief.
I notice Wolf is not long winded as usual
Perry doesn't take Wolf's bait on taxes and offsetting cuts. Says we spent 800 billion in the first round of stimulus and got 0 jobs. 400 billion this time. He can do the math, half of 0 is still 0. Obama doesn't understand small business or Wall Street.
Bachmann asked about Bush tax cuts not being paid for.
Cain pushing his 9-9-9 plan. 9% income tax, 9% national sales tax, 9% corporate taxes.
Romney praises Texas then slams Perry saying he was dealt four aces, it doesn't make him a good poker player.
Ron Paul running down Texas. Taking on Wolf's question to Bachmann saying you don't "pay" for a tax cut because it's their money.
Newt asked about compromising with Democrats. Said Reagan taught him, "Turn up light on the People so they'll turn the heat up on Congress."
Ack. Eddie Hascal speaking again.
3 debates and Newt hit’s the ball out of the park each time, Never would have thought it, and God help me, he is earning my sincere respect!
Huntsman reminds me of John Edwards. Doesn’t John Ecdwards speak mandarin too? Ton ton boo hah.
Cain always does well. He has the FIRE (in the belly). I can see it.
I would love to see everyone up there helping the new govt. in 2012 but obviously on a few will be at the top and its becoming more apparent in every debate.
SHUTUP HUNTSMAN. You are such an azz.
Nope.
Another Paul lie.
Unless there is a new State income tax that I forgot to pay.......... ;<)
No way to greet a rival
Newt raises the level of the debates. I would like to see him debate Obama, Lincoln-Douglas style.
I think I’m in love...
Huntsman is a real wet rag in this event. He was probably the kid who ratted out others for running in the halls in elementary school. What a dud.
Perry is a snake oil salesman that will; say or do anything to be elected, total _ _ _
Perry is not saying and doing it all...............YET.
he has 4 Aces hidden somewhere...
knowing mittens, they’re all the same suit, though.
LOL
Good summary—thanks for the lightning typing.
