Who the hell is NBC to tell the audience they CAN’T applaud.

I remember a substitute teacher in grammar school who was quite uptight and told us we had better not dare to make one sound while taking a test.

One of the guys made a sound...if someone did that in the audience of this dullfest debate it might make the highlight reel on all the talk shows.

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.

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.)

Rick S needs to shut it. He needs to quit bashing Conservative Newt.

Rick S ego is out of control and it’s a turn off.


You would think that Santorum saw that it didn't work for Bachmann, but he wants to repeat history.

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.

They have been instucted not to react.

Someone needs to investigate this begore the next debate. This is UN-AMERICAN heads need to roll. Bloggers, news media anyone down there needs to talk to the audience once the debate is over and find out exactly what the PENALTY is for clapper or chearing... UNFCKNGBLVBLE

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.

-- who knew 86 languages were spoken in the US? --

It was 86 in some FL University, I think; Newt went on to note that 200 languages are spoken in Chicago.

“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?
