GOP Debate

[CynicalBear]

>> 0 is on his knees tonight praying that Newt will go away!<<

Probably 5 times a day.

[Revolting cat!]

Newt talks back, and that’s the difference. Perry tries, good for him. Paul talks back, as well. The other two weasel.

That’s why Newt is electable. We all know that. I’d even venture to say that Paul is more electable than Mittens.

That’s because MSM is not popular!

[Shortstop7]

I think a Newt / Palin ticket would be awesome.

[Prokopton]

Santorum is a big government apologist. His "morals" agenda is to use the power of the nanny state at home and pursue intervention abroad.

Take a hard look at his record and proposals.

I have.

Not once has he supported an individual mandate.

Not once has he proposed government intervention for "global Warming".

Not once has he supported amnesty for illegal invaders.

Not once has he shilled for Freddie/Fannie.

He is not a serial adulterer.

He has never quit the office he was elected to because he couldn't have his way.

Not once was he publicly censured by the Senate ethics committee.

He might not be perfect, but he is a whole lot better, and more conservative, than Gingrich.

Good thing we werent watching together...I LOVE Baileys Irish Cream almost as much as Newt. LOL...may have slipped into some colorful language...shhhhhhhhhh! will buy a bottle of white zinfandel for the next debate. I don't know who that pest is....I have trouble remaining civil sometimes but .....what I say to myself is not visable on the screen..

[jpsb]

"Agree. Paul IS scary--"

Yes scary being for the US Constitution, individual liberty and a non-interventionist foreign policy, very scary stuff.

[eddie willers]

I think Juan is not near the “liberal” he “plays” on Fox. Sure—he’s not a “staunch conservative”—but he’s no “race pimp”! I think his questions helped Gingrich—and that may not have bothered Juan as much as some people might think.

I think you got it completely right.

[okie01]

Agree. Paul IS scary--and the support he's getting from young people is even scarier. I hope it's because of his strong stand on the Constitution--

Hardly. It's because of his strong stand on drug legalization!

[Absolutely Nobama]

I didn’t create it. Credit where credit is due: The pro wrestler Taz first used that line, If I’m not mistaken.

Fits the Beast That Is Newt, doesn’t it ?

[Irish Eyes]

Please enlighten me on this ?

Only Paul and Romney on the ballot. The others did not make it on the ballot... the whole thing is pretty murky.

[Yaelle]

Thank you for choosing Santorum. I would love to see your state put newt AND Santy above Mitt!!!!

[womanvet]

Perhaps you disagree with me, but that line about selling books did not work to defeat Cain, and it won’t work to derail Gingrich.

If I were trying to be snarky, I would look elsewhere for material. JMO, of course.

[Marcella]

“Newt is looking back to “cool”, on Hannity! Marvelous little crowd behind him, adoring him.”

Yes, I see it - totally cool and collected. I would give him a hug right now.

[Theodore R.]

Prokopton, you have defended our candidate, Santorum, better than he has himself!

[FishinTX]

I was for Newt/Santorum but am now Newt/Perry. Newt/Palin sounds too good to be true.

[Yaelle]

Omgosh. That is SO a rug on Luntz’s head. I prefer bald. Rugs are soooo distracting.

[hinckley buzzard]

memo to Juan Williams: MLK said in a 1967 speech in Cleveland to HS students, "if your lot is to be a street sweeper, be the best street sweeper ever. Sweep streets the way Michelangelo painted paintings. Sweep streets the way Beethoven composed music." (MLK didn't have any problem with "dead white males," apparently.)

I guess Willyums would be insulted by MLK's vision. He also said, "If you want to be the greatest "Black" physician ever, you have just failed your matriculation exam into the integrated society."

MLK would be pretty disappointed by the pukes who presume to speak for him today.

[Shelayne]

I think so, too.

Romney did a lot of stuttering and sputtering and managed to come off even more smarmy than usual. I think he was really exposed for being a plastic politician and nothing more. That whole hunting thing was cringeworthy.

I could see Hannity spinning for Romney with Luntz, but Luntz had to admit that Romney didn’t do as well as Gingrich, which had to just KILL him! Hahahahaha!

My order:

1. Newt
2. Perry
3. Santorum
4. Romney (tie with #5)
5. Hunstman (yes, I know he wasn’t there)
6. Ron Paul

Usually Willard looks more polished and gives good enough answers, but tonight he was flustered. He tried at the beginning with his lengthy answers, but when Newt took it to Juan, he completely stole Mitt’s thunder, and Mitt never regained it. I think Newt may have changed some minds tonight—I think he dinged Mitt.

I want to see that again! :^D

[ez]

Regardless that Romney is legally able to hold his tax returns, he appears to be hiding something by not committing to releasing his returns until ‘around April’. He could release 2010 returns now.

You can be sure Mitt is stalling because they are making adjustments to his 2011 forms as we speak. I bet he releases 2011 only.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

I was screaming the exact same thing at my television.

Also, if Ron Paul feels so strongly about the National Defense Authorization Act, why the hell didn’t he bother showing up to vote against it? He dropped everything he was doing to fly out to LA and do Leno, he couldn’t make time to get to DC to vote against the bill?
