You know whats great?
That was not a rehearsed answer.
That is Perry’s heart.

That is so bogus. Only two candidates could have proved that and one has dropped out of the race. (that they were ever poor)

But what the heck does that matter anyway?

This exchange between Newt and Mitt is very, very informative re Israel/Palestine. Newt’s knocking it out with no apologies, and Mitt’s pandering. (not surprised, but it was worth watching for sure!)

Exactly, I think Newt shows considerable conservative leadership qualities while Romney would parse everything so he can never be accused of making a mistake.IMHO,Newt is far more Reaganesque than any of the rest.

Media bias is backfiring big time. Newt, Perry and Bachman made Stephie look like a fool on the Israel question. This is good preperation for Obama debates, etc.

So I guess in a Mitt Romney presidency, he will check with foreign leaders to get permission before commenting on foreign affairs. Very nice.

During the intermission, Diane Sawyer will be singing a holiday song for your entertainment.

Yet SOME want to persecute him for his imperfect personal life. I find that hypocritical given that 50% of the electorate are living in the wake of failed marriages.

Not everybody is lucky in love. Some people learn from their mistakes, and move on. Newt seems to be in a happy marriage NOW, so i don’t get why it even matters anymore.

One of the commenters on the ABC Internet feed is from Center for American Progress, a Soros-funded highly partisan outfit.

Newt’s not my man.

But he is spot on about the Palestinian question.

I think Perry comes out of this with a win. He could take off.

Yes....Perry just had the best quote of the debate so far:

“This president is the problem, not something Newt Gingrich said!”

KGTV in San Diego is not showing the debate although the cable service lists it as being on KGTV channel 10. Apparently, its only available online. I tried calling the station and get a busy signal. Looks like folks in San Diego are PO’d big time!

Tweet from left-wing Comic Jamie Kilstein, head of “Citizen Radio” on Cirius.

“I think my cat got excited by the racists in the gop debate and got carried away.”

Feed the meme....
Disregard the facts.

For some reason, Perry’s tour de force on Obama’s Middle East/ drone failures didn’t make ABC’s ‘debate rewind’ promo during the adverts just now.

Hard times in your lfe coming up...

Question straight out of the Left's playbook: "You heartless 1%'er conservatives don't understand the plight of the "peur" like the caring, super-sensitive Liberals and won't raise taxes on the rich."
