Where: Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa.
When: 9 p.m. EST, 6 p.m. PST, Saturday, December 10, 2011. Debate scheduled to last two hours.
Broadcast on: ABC Televsion.
Moderators: Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos.
Candidates: Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum.
Sawyer sounds like she had a mild stroke. Slow, slurred speech.
He's not giving the other side anything; it's part of who Newt is and it's public knowledge. It will be discussed now and later, should Gingrich get the nomination.
While that's true I just hate giving the enemy sound bites with our candidates voices to use against us. Maybe its inevitable but I still don't like it.
Sawyer is definitely having speech malfunctions.
Round 6 :
Illegal Immigration:
Gingrich: good answer
Diane Sawyer answers over several paragraphs from Romney.
Apparently he need not speak at all to win this from ABC.
Romney ignores his Sanctuary Mansions and his personal
history of inviting illegals in with the incentive of RomneyCARE, etc.
Romney lies and Ms. Sawyer has no interest in correcting him again.
Sawyer gives Romney more time, and tries to explain more for him.
This debate is a absolute biased JOKE.
Either way it's another layer of bureaucracy and a magnet for bribery.
My solution: Beef up our immigration courts to handle a million deportations of illegals per year. That and self deportation when the welcome mat is pulled back will fix the problem in a few short years.
Perry has a serious speech impediment
So all the people who have not been divorced can vote for Perry and all the people who have been divorced can vote for Newt.
Newt should say that being divorced does not tell what kind of president you will be. Case in point: Obama?
RE: Romney say: No preferences for any illegals.
Yeah, and he’ll send them all home when they are done trimming his hedges and cleaning his pool.
Occupy Diane!!! Occupy Stephaponolous!!!
I’d rather be called a hypocrite for supporting Newt, then have another four years of bobo the magic ass clown.
There is something going on with her. She has one eye half closed, and asking the most rambling questions.
Anything that allows ILLEGAL aliens to stay in this contry legally is amnesty.
.
“George - That’s a pretty SLICK question....”
.
I miss Cain.
This debate is different without him. He really added an energy that isn’t here tonight.
Ad hominem is argument from an individual’s bad character to the falsity of his argument, and it’s a fallacy.
You didn’t engage in ad hominem, nor did I. It was just insults as an end in itself.
I wouldn’t have as much a problem with illegal aliens if they paid their way.
But most don’t. First, they take up more education resources and welfare
than native US citizens.
When the Irish and Italians came in the 20th century, they had “NO IRISH”
signs. But they didn’t ask for a handout. They didn’t ask for the DREAM act.
In fact, my mother was discriminated against and didn’t get into a fancy
college because her surname was Italian. But she didn’t cry about it.
No, why don’t you get famous Hispanic-Americans to found a nonprofit
so to pay the tuition of those illegals who get into college.
It costs HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars per year. ITS NOT FAIR>
if they were pullling their weight and had no nothing, no parking tickets—
I’ll talk about it then.
Do you all see this debate is pure the moderators versus the republican party? Just wow.
Nerves.
Not near as bad as Diane's "impediment", tho.
“Though I think Newt is on the reasonable path regarding the subject.”
Understand that LEgal Hispanics are a MUCH larger voting block than blacks now, and that family values are important to them.
They have been among the hardest hurt by Democrat Economic policies, as well.
If Gingrich wants TO WIN, he’s smart to take a middle road, here, no matter how much many on FR are against it.
I like your thinking...I agree.
