The posts I pay attention to are those where they are truly attempting to find the truth about what's being stated about a candidate...and have something informative to say or an opinion which might clarify a candidates statement. Too often just sound bites are used.

Thank you for your post. CW

I agree. I have read probably 80% of the comments posted about the debate, and I think it was another good debate for all the Republican candidates.

I did notice that many more comments were directed towards Newts reply about immigration than there are about any other candidates reply to anything else. Newt made sure he will be the one everyone is talking about with it. So when I read your comment I had to put my 2 cents in by defending your comment and Newt's stance. As I said, even though I have yet to pick a candidate.

I can see that this is going to be the topic of discussion all week. I guess we can thank God that it's a short week with Turkey day coming up. The MSM is going to find itself in a catch 22. They will want to exploit this issue, but then again a Gingrich nominee debating Obama would be their worst nightmare. So it will be interesting to see how they handle this issue.

I turn off the debates and CNN and went to CSPAN.
I heard for the first time a Gentleman named David M. Walker,the Founder and CEO of the Comeback America Initiative. Also one time served as United States Comptroller General from 1998 to 2008

For the first time since President Reagan I finally heard what I have been wanting to hear for years.
Term limits for all politicians, true reduction in spending, campaign reforms including ‘unless you are eligible to vote you cannot contribute to a campaign or politician, limit a person from using more than a certain amount of his/her own money (eliminating buying yourself into office), etc.

I just wish more people had heard him. He has some great ideas for this country.

Imigration is rightfully a very hot topic for most. I wish with all my heart the illegal invasion had not come so far as it has. And our government has basically encouraged it rather thancare to see the impact of it on our nation.

Mexico will fight any laws we establish as they derive so much of their governing revenues from those working here and sending money back to their country...not to mention the drug trade and all the other illegal activities they are known for.

I suspect, as you that Newt played his hand well tonight on the immigration issue as it would of been brought forward by the media anyway....he basically put it right out there for them and willing to see where it goes with the public.

And yes they’ll have the Holiday to think about it and no doubt some families will discuss it...but most won’t be watching much TV so however the media plays this the impact won’t be as might have been without the Holiday and travels of.

I actually enjoyed the debate though never am pleased on who they give time to. Can’t understand Wolf giving Paul the time he did except maybe becuase he was completely ignored at the last one...and he was. He’s impossible to listen to with all his shrilling and ranting.

I’m pretty much in Newt’s court at this time and really can’t imagine that will change...He can certainly go up against Obama...and has plans for righting this ship from day one I agree with....and just the initial plugging the holes will take him a good year or two before he could get anything going much more than to regain some of the ground this nations lost. So I am not concerned about that which I disagree with him on...and these are not primary concerns anyway, he won’t have much time for the little stuff...he’ll have his hands plenty full otherwise.
