GOP Debate Live Thread, Concord NH (NBC 9AM ET)

msnbc/nbc ^ | January 8, 2012 | NBC

[NautiNurse]

Mere hours following the antagonistic ABC interrogations, David Gregory gets his turn, hoping for verbal pyrotechnics Sunday morning.

Who cares about Gay Rights for god sakes.

Mitt does.

[kabar]

The answer on Gay Rights is that there are no special rights for gays or anyone else. Rights apply to everyone under the Constitution. There are no special rights for gays.

This is the same kind of rationale that led us to "hate" crimes and affirmative action.

[who knows what evil?]

I had a Catholic woman tell me yesterday that she is voting for Romney because "he has remained faithful to his wife"...

That's what you get in NH... :-(

[Miss Didi]

Oh, for the love of Pete! A gay son???

[katiedidit1]

I thought since the Union Leader was one of the sponsors Newt would get more time. Next they will have Rosie O’donnel as a moderator...I havent heard a question asked to Newt yet. I was late coming on...so sick of this gay garbage.

[rodguy911]

$100 is hardly a paltry donation! Well above average and I salute you for doing so! I give a pittance here every month its all I can handle for now.

[onyx]

I wonder whether Newt will be asked another question.

Tick tock.

This debate is boring when he’s not involved.

Newt is invisible to the clowns of NBC

[RobinWWJD]

They are totally freezing Newt out. bastages.

[Absolutely Nobama]

I’m in this camp:

Santorum ? Sure!

Gingrich ? Why not ?

Perry ? I’m in!

Mitt Commie ? I’d rather gouge out my eyes with a fork from a leper colony.

Jon Huntsman ? I’ve gone my whole life without voting for a socialist, I see no reason to start now.

Jew hater Ron Paul ? I have a blog named “Absolutely NonPaul”. ‘Nuff said.

I’m undecided between Perry, Santorum, and Gingrich. I’d be perfectly happy with any of three. None of them are perfect (no one is) but they’re waaaaaaay better than Mitt Commie, Obama sycophant Huntsman, and Fuhrer Paul.

[katiedidit1]

Lots of Mass folks fled to NH. They brought their liberal politics with them.

[GoCards]

Are the questions that are asked for specific candidates when submitted?

[onyx]

I thought so, too, but Newt has been ignored during this segment.

WOW.

[NKP_Vet]

Is Newt there? Gregory has ignored him. The SOB.

[rodguy911]

THanks onyx.
Truth is I hope the field narrows and soon.
Put Newt up against two or three possbiles and he will shine even more.

[RobinWWJD]

Its pretty flagrant. They are going to everyone and the camera guy but not giving Newt a moment. ugh

[TADSLOS]

Newt is invisible to the clowns of NBC

They don't want to be b*tch slapped by Newt.

[MissMagnolia]

I’ve been impressed with Santorum on this - he’s not apologetic or backing down on his stance .... he doesn’t come across as cruel or uncaring.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yes, i too do think they are ignoring Gingrich and throwing Santorum the hardball pitches. Santorum needs Vicks cough drops, too.

[katiedidit1]

I am going to send msnbc a nasty gram on the way Newt has been locked out. Gregory must be afraid of Newt.
