I think Perry missed some major opportunity’s to defend his record and to highlight his conservatism, but he hasn’t stepped in anything yet.

Glanced up at the TV — Fred Thompson.

I thought maybe he was about to announce a new bandwagon run for 2012.

Wasn’t — was just a reverse mortgage plug.

It has been clear for MONTHS, that “the establishment” wants to shove Mittens down our throats...the same way they shoved McLAME down our throats! Diane Sawyer may as well be on her knees in front of Mittens now! GEEZUZ!

very true. But I don't think anyone can unseat Newt at this point of the game. I think the nomination is his to lose.

Perry was for the individual mandate for teenage girls. It’s so hypocritical for him to be attacking Newt and Mitt.

You might as well mention the opt-out portion also. These girls (parents) did have a choice.

“I believe the downhill slide started when the Fox problem in England began. Could there be some extortion afoot?”

Soros did say he would “GET THEM” if they didn’t immediately yank Beck off the air.

SOROS WON...

What kind of debate is this??? ABC is letting these canadites attack Newt...They should be attacking Obama and his policies and his record...The dems are loving this...Its work they won’t have to do...Let the republicans cut each others throat....

It's easy to blame the moderators, but nobody is making the Republicans go after each other, they could refuse to do so, and they could even criticize the moderators.

Yeah, Romney admitted it was true and turned it into an advantage. They are making a lot of good points. We are, also, seeing their stark differences highlighted. Good debate, actually. I am surprised.

I have roared with laughter as they throw the barbs out. Stark differences are emerging. And I am being entertained.

Mitt gets idea to rewrite his book from his spiritual leader Joey Smith.

Santorum is pissing me off less than usual. Always find a lot to agree with him on, but the attitude seems to be toned-down tonight.

Dopey leftist female talking head complaining that Newt is in “defensive” mode. GEE? Wonder why? Could it be the questions, prompting the other candidates to rip him a new butthole?

!@#@!(#*.

I agree I don’t like them trashing each other. I think they need to tailor the responses to how they would be better for the country than 0.

Providing ammo for the opposition is not smart.

Diane Sawyer is a pompous smarmy self impressed left wing hag.

Funny the moderators never eard of Obama or all the disasters he’s caused the country. It’s like all the questions are asked in a vacuum. God forbid they elicit atacks on Obama.

Michelle was never able to get any legislation passed in the house. She has the 11th WORST record on MISSED votes...she is paid to do a job...show up and represent your constituents. The veterans have NO love lost for her either.

The ABC talking heads on the stream says Newt is “sour” and “arrogant” and Romney is relaxed.

Why did ABC start this debate way past Diane Sawyer’s bedtime?
