Newt just slapped George Stephanolous with a brilliant answer on the Palestinian question.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Go Newt!!!!....Romney...babeebababababeebababa..not gonna go there in public! I am PC!

[goodnesswins]

YES....and I want DEMOCRATS in a debate asked the SAME EXACT QUESTIONS!

[RummyChick]

Did you see George’s face!....I need a replay of the whole incident!

[FreeReign]

Diane sounds like the G-Man from Half-Life, randomly slowing down certain syllables.

That's because everything she says is p-r-o-foundly imp-o-r-t-a-n-t.

Or perhaps she's on a medication.

[kristinn]

Thanks. Too bad I’m not running :-)

Round 7 :

Foreign Policy
George Stephanopoulos goes after Gingrich regarding the invented Palestinians,
and calls Ron Paul for obvious reasons.

George Stephanopoulos goes after Gingrich directly,
Gingrich defends Israel strongly.
"Someone must have the courage to speak the truth."


HOME RUN.

Romney then defends the Palestinians.

[angelcindy]

Why is Romney allowed to give 5 min answeres??

[Williams]

When the republicans remember to criticize Obama, you can feel the moderators sink into their seats.

[katiedidit1]

Cheers for Newt on the Palestinians!!! Newt correcting Stephie boy on Obama...lol..love it

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Newt gave a brilliant, clear answer on Israel.

Stehphy continues to attack Newt. good God.

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 pulling their weight and had no nothing, no parking tickets— I’ll talk about it then.

Great Post. All part of the lefts' plan to break the bank and buy votes in the process. We still have not caught on yet or we would have secured the border by now.

First time I have heard Perry say that in a debate, but Mr. Cain said it repeatedly.

[Irish Eyes]

Perry has a serious speech impediment

No it is a West Texan thing.

[LibsRJerks]

Romney looking like he’s got a spray-on tan.

Fake looking

[preamble]

Newt was right about the Palestinians.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

LOVED Newt saying HOW WOULD HE KNOW,

I loved the look on Stepinawfulpis's face.

[mylife]

Newt is kicking ass on this subject.

[TomGuy]

Bitter pill for the MSM and politicians, but Gingrich is correct that the Palestinians are an invented people, and that most Islamists want to wipe Israel off the map, etc.

Romney — we aren't going to use incendiary words to inflame others.

[pulaskibush]

Missed part of the debate, but got to hear the liberal moderator piddle around with the illegal alien question. I wish a Candidate had corrected the term undocumented with illegal alien.
