[Recovering Ex-hippie]

A LOCAL citizen panel...

[Fawn]

Really? Levin is backing Newt??

[TSgt]

Yes, all Non-Mormons will be deported. LOL!

[rodguy911]

Romney trying to be all things to all people those kind of people usually get nothing at all done,milquetoast.

[Kenny]

So far it’s just a bid to validate Mitt’s self-deportation crap. I don’t know what makes these morons think any illegal would happily go back to a country where their plight is hopeless.

Hello, anyone home?

[katiedidit1]

LOL! with Mitt it is always a surprise!

[Jet Jaguar]

Yes

[imchris]

I predict that 30 into the debate, Rick Santorum’s 93-year-old mom will storm on stage, tackle Ron Paul and clobber him with an umbrella.

[billys kid]

Maybe willard will self-deport to ancestrail home.

Bwaaahaaahaaaa!

[ez]

They’re talking Policy? They’re playing in Newt’s home field.

[Vendome]

LOL

No, No. It’s a good answer.

I think we just believe it’s time for him to get behind Newt and he should.

[PMAS]

Ron Paul has virtually no solutions

[MagUSNRET]

Forgive me for saying htis...but Mittens looks like an idiot with a mouth full of chit, as he looks at Ron Paul or whomever is speaking...watch that idiot smile of his...it’s creepy

[PapaNew]

I hate the idea of putting the burden on business. Dang it man, the government needs to uphold the law.

[Red Steel]

Operation “Wetback” was a mass deportation from the 1950s under Eisenhower. I read most self deported.

[BagCamAddict]

So 60 seconds to answer doesn’t apply. Let them ramble as long as they want.

Got it.

Newt and Ron Paul stuck to 60 seconds. Rick and Mitt would have talked for an hour.

[Pharmboy]

Good point...and she looked pretty good for 93. The lights were still on in her eyes.

[dragnet2]

If grandma is illegally here, they all are....

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Levin said he still backs Santorum, but he couldn’t stand by and see all these attacks on Newt re: Reagan go unanswered, as he was a member of the Reagan Administration and knows better.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Newt is on his game so far.

Not passionate yet, though. I love it when he gets fired up. Oh cool, his immigration answer is sounding good... English as official language.

OK, he's winding up behind the net, like Bobby Orr. Watch out, here he comes!
