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

[Joe 6-pack]

"Excuse me Rev. Santorum, you would create a theocracy."

Wow...I didn't know FReepers got their talking points from Chris Matthews.

[TADSLOS]

Mittens is in full scale weasel mode.

[MissMagnolia]

Gregory determined to provoke a verbal fist fight.

[alicewonders]

Congress will not vote to limit their own power.

Then we will replace them with those that will! If there is a mandate from the people voting for the candidate that says he will do a thing. Perry is bringing the issue to the fore - it's time we talk about such things.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Should add, long winded Mitt will not allow Newt to respond.

SHUT UP MITT!!!

[AmericanInTokyo]

‘ALLAH’ finally mentioned by a candidate by name in a debate...without the required polite preface. Rick Santorum blasphemed in the eyes of all Islamists worldwide. GREAT!!!

[kabar]

Gregory is trying for the big finish by pitting one candidate against another in personal attacks. Both Gingrich and Romney should have stayed above Gregory’s obvious baiting them into a public fight on stage.

[who knows what evil?]

Amazing how the establishmedia can only find hardcore libs to ask the questions. This guy should be leading the obama campaign and not asking global warming questions.

Just once...a debate moderated by Limbaugh or Levin. Would it really be that tough to organize one? Florida primary coming up, and Rush is right on the spot...

[sheikdetailfeather]

Newt keeps smiling while he goes after Romney. Love it!!! Newt sent a letter to the stations in SC to ensure these ads are accurate before they run or they will be in legal hot water.

[rodguy911]

Great post I agree.He’s a plant by someone.

[katiedidit1]

Holy Cow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Newt said he is glad that Mitt finally said some of the super ads that cross the line should be taken down!!!!!!!!!!!! Newt went on Bain too. ha ha ha ha

[TomGuy]

Gregory got them to take the bait. Both are chomping on it.

[Reagan69]

Rev. Santorum talks too much. He’s sooooo BORING>

[onyx]

Romney lied. He said he didn’t see the ads - then he described it!

[rodguy911]

David Gregory is an asshole

ONe of the greatest posts so far on this thread. but,you have to admit he works at it!!

[Pravious]

“Rev. Santorum talks too much. He’s sooooo BORING>”

Ditto.

[kabar]

It hurts both of them and helps Obama.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

He must have heard them with his hands over his eyes, LOL!

[katiedidit1]

unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!! Romney didnt KNOW what was in the super pac ads?????????? and finally said if they crossed the line they should be taken down??? he knew ...I think he was caught in a flat out lie

[CAluvdubya]

I think Newt won that little round. Mitt stood there with that stupid look on his face and Newt cited his ads were using facts from printed newspapers not rhetoric coming from his campaign.
