Yes, Mitt you have a record and you just brought up your Romneycare.
Mitt: “I have a record”. Boy does he ever & it’s NOT Conservative.
I have the feeling Romney told NBC what the rules of engagement would be if he was going to participate.
They’re no better than Obama? He included Newt in that. Talk about punching in the dark.
Santorum is simply telling the truth and offering himself as the nguy who was consistently conservative on the issues of mandates, cap and trade and global warming. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
No questions on the Occupy Retards tonight *drink*
Wondered about you a page or three back. The debate is a wash. Santorum has been bored tonight but fluent and less tense. He has been groomed I believe. Newt the intellectual stand out, but he let Romney sour is lift early on and I wished he had not. No change to the polls by much. Santorum may hold but if you aren’t moving up you’re going nowhere. (My assessment so far.)
Well, I’m sure Newt will find a way to wend it into the conversation and point out his pious duplicity.
However, if it’s just part of some fund and the fund managers have place Fannie/Freddie in the portfolio it’s a loser issue to even get on that dead horse and kick your heels.
Dr. Paul knocks the ball out of the park when he sticks to defending liberty and constitutional government.
Romney just said that Kennedy beat him but had to take out a mortgage on his house to do so.....not the best words.
Newt and Santorum agree that the next POTUS will have a very hard time cleaning up Hussein’s mess.
He just schpeeled more lies! He did legislate an individual mandate and stood up there and denied it!
Playing devil’s advocate, they may want to spot Occupy Wall Street disruptor types right away, if they were to create a Code Pink type situation. On the other hand, applause does indeed take away from it. If you allow applause, it seems to me you have to admit people in equal amounts per the number of candidates up on the stage they support, ie. in this case, drawn equally four ways between supporters for M, G, S and P. PS Gingrich giving a decent answer right now on the meaning of the Presidency in these current dark days.
It was 86 in some FL University, I think; Newt went on to note that 200 languages are spoken in Chicago.
Yes, sir. Now Newt agreeing with Santorum.
“NBC~GE are protecting Obama tonight, with their choice of questions”
Of course they are! I despise the SRM and really wish the RNC would stop allowing there enemies, who only wish to damage them, to air and moderate these debates. Does anyone really think the DNC would allow their candidates on a debate moderated by Rush and Marc Levin?
I know it’s free marketing, but it’s stupid!!
Did Romney just smirk and say that someone had to mortgage their house to run against him?
