Yeah, can't wait to see him answer those questions.
1. Mr. Gingrich, can you explain to us how it is that you paid the biggest ethics fine in the history of Congress after stepping down in disgrace from your speakership?
2. Mr. Gingrich, if your previous wives couldn't trust you, then why should America trust you?
3. Mr. Gingrich, how can you get away with saying that you balanced the budget every year you were Speaker when the national debt increased in each of those years?
4. Mr. Gingrich, you have gone on record as to say that roughly 10% of Obamacare is "really pretty good" and that you would incorporate those parts into your own health care bill. Can you elaborate on which parts you will include?

Back at you Raster!
Right, at the cost of taking down Gingrich to guarantee a Romney win, so Obama can later turn the moderates in his direction.
As far as the neo-CON Santorum? His pathetic, quite moderate, big spending history in the Senate speaks for itself.
But go ahead anyway, keep on doing the MSM’s dirty work for them. We all lose in the end, if your rancid, cynical, hateful rhetoric gains any traction.
At the end of Eisenhower’s reign some taxes were in the 90th percentile. That’s when Goldwater and Ronald Reagan came on the scene to try to stop the madness. Again, I think, with a few exceptions, the GOP basically “went along for the political ride” in the 20th Century, offering little resistance to the relentless anti-American Leftist (”Progressive”) movement embodied in the Democratic Party.
Kristinn asked:
Please tell us what you thought about it. Folks here were quite taken with Newts answers that garnered him a standing ovation. Did you sense any movement in the attendees from one candidate to another?
Yes, Kristinn. Although I thought when they introduced the candidates that Newt got a tad bit more applause, as the night went on and Newt gave zinger after zinger, the crowd went wilder and wilder until the standing O. I think even the Ron Paul supporters were standing. It was sure different from 4 years ago when they asked us to try to hold our applause so they could get more questions in.
ES asked: is DeMint done fawning over Romney?
He was just introduced, he didn’t speak. Lindsey Graham was introduced first, and the audience clapped. DeMint was introduced and the audience went wild. Quite an eye opener.
Thank you all for being apart of the best debate I have ever seen and Jim, thanks for having Free Republic so we could all meet and talk about the debate.
Folks, remember, donate to FR, every penny helps to keep it going!
LOVE IT!!! Romneycide..lol. I will have to steal that from you.
This is the first time we have been excited about a candidate. His passion is contagious.
You are correct. The term getting the best of Obama means Messiah blood on the stage
The survival of the Country is a pretty big issue. He is a nut job on most of his America is an imperialist insanity. Which Countries have we taken over?
Should we pull back on our bases? Yes, but to blame us for all the violence in the world is way over the top? He sounds like Obama.
Pray for America
Pray that it transfers to the election.
Everyone else spews political platitudes. Newt list the facts, the problem and then gives solutions.
VOTED TO GIVE SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
VOTED AGAINST HIRING AN ADDITIONAL 1,000 BORDER PATROL AGENTS,
OTOH her surrogate Todd did endorse Newt. Todd films her from their studio at their home. Who do you think was smiling behind the camera filming Todd when he made the endorsement?
“The Bambino was hitting them to all fields last night!!!!!!”
LOL! And I thought Newt was short.
PS: Already sent my donation to Perry. He da man!!
Just watched Rove on Faux this am. Rove said Newt will come in 2nd in SC. I want Newt to WIN. One more debate this thursday and election is saturday. Let’s hope SC got a wake up call!!! so thrilled to see Newt get an standing ovation!
