Saintorum and Bachmann are just a couple of Lawyers.

Just what we freakin need.

We’ll WRITE the Law and enforce the Law.

No thanks.

Santorum destroyed Santorum. If he cannot debate Mitt he will be destroyed by Obama. Keep in mind it does not work when they attack Gingrich. He flips the table as soon as it is presented.

“Ron Paul is a disgrace and doesn’t deserve to be rated as anything other than fruitcake.”

Yes, he IS a disgrace as are his clueless, brainwashed cult-bots. The other three guys agreed on Iran and Israel while RuPaul spread his poor Muslims, “can’t generalize about them as a group”, anti-US/Israel propaganda. Shame on him. And then, he started ranting about the “Neo-cons” and “their war-mongering”. AGAIN.

For God’s sake - none of us wants or likes war. But weak leadership - make that NO leadership - is what’s put us in this mess and the only things the jihadi savages understand are strength and fear.

Newt really knocked it out of the park on the subject when he said the only ones who need to fear Obama are our allies, whereas our enemies have nothing to worry about from him.

I’m watching the rerun and so far Newt hasn’t clocked one minute.

Did they no-mic him?

Damn, I wish Perry was up there.

When FR purged the Paul/Romneybots, it became a better place. If the GOP would do the same it too would be a better place.

At the risk of being stoned (and NOT in a “Strawberry Fields Forever” sort of way)...I am pondering to myself, if the reason so many of Ru pauls “ALLEGED” military supporters, are due to the fact that the idiot in chief has created rules of engagement such that our men and women in combat are freakin TARGETS not warriors!
I despise RuPauls foreign policy idiocy, but I equally despise Obammys idiocy when it comes to (gag) “leading” our troops! (spit)

Your in for a treat. Watch the school-yard squabble, the nut in the attic, and the one actually keeping focus.

CNN is clearly a “NO Newt Zone”...their bias is breathtakingly predictable!

I believe there is truth in that.
Nobody wants to see our troops as cannon fodder.

Both of you need to go read some of the “Santorum” threads these last few days. READ Them.

Then come back and try to repeat what you just posted with a straight face.

I have been brutally attached by some Rick S. supporters here. I have a short list of names. Just horrible experience. Rick has some of the nastiest supporters.

The problem is most Rick supporters are not that bright. You have to be intellectually challenged to turn down a really smart conservative candidate in favor of one that is nowhere near on the same intellectual level. These are either people who don't have the intelligence to recognize Newt's intelligence or they feel threatened by Newt's intelligence because they have felt inferior to smart people like Newt all their life. They probably have done poorly in school and work compared to more intelligent people. Therefore these Rick supporters can't win the argument on the merits and need to resort to insults and spreading lies about Newt. Rick's supporters write some of the most incoherent, sloppy, garbled posts on here and many seem functionally illiterate.

Agree I would have loved for Santorum to have held his own tonight. Mittens losing Michigan may have gave us a real Campaign choice between Santorum and Newt. I think Santorum lets his emotion control him, probably good on the campaign trail but not good in a debate.

On the Abortion question Newt jumped the gun and threw Santorum a life line. How dare they question Santorum on his abortion stance when Obammy was never questioned on Infantcide. Santorum still waded in with both feet must be his days of fighting on the senate floor.

I agree while Paul had some sanity tonight I have never seen him really go after Mittens.

IMHO

Newt did splendidly. He mentioned Obama’s support of infanticide! Got in the talking points about energy independence as the answer to our economic troubles AND the political mess in the Middle East.
Santorum got bloodied and booed on occasion, then made excuses for his poor performance to interviewers. CNN commentators agreed he is not ready for the major league.

[No one watched this debate. I checked in a couple times and thought they were replaying a rerun from one of the 19 other debates]

LOL! You wish! It's on all the cable news headlines! All we will see the next day or so, will be Santorum stepping in Poo and wiping it on his tongue.

You will see the audience BOOOOOOooooo him as he tries to explain his embarrassment for supporting Specter and being responsible for the 60th vote on Obamacare. You will also see him throw a tantrum when Romney pins him to the wall over his actual liberal Senate Record.

You see, This is the first time in a Month that Little Ricky did not have a planned, canned, captive audience. And it showed. The Reverend Rick is all show and no go, and all he knows how to do is talk a whole lot about little to nothing.

That is the Santorum America will wake up to tomorrow, and be seeing for the next several weeks. Newt clearly owned the show.

My prediction for the ticket, after watching tonight’s debate: It will be Romney/Santorum.

Hmmmm, you got that from watching tonight's debate? the two worst will be the ticket?
