Oh, please. I know freepers can be mean but you don’t even know what brutally attacked is unless you were on the Rick Perry threads when he was running.

Those attacks were not only vile, but they were organized. They had a ping list to summon all the Perry haters to defecate on the threads. I think they were inspired by Cain who they all supported at that time. Cain hated Perry.


Spare us the melodramatics. I clearly remember Perry supporters claiming that if we didn't support Perry, it meant we supported Obama. That is about as vile as you can get.

Pulling that crap of "if you don't support Perry you support the Marxist" was despicable to say the least. I called somebody out on it and they apologized, but others were still doing it. Very disappointed at some of those who did, as they were long time members of the Texas board.

In the end, there are only two Republicans who are completely unacceptable and that are a reason to vote third party - Willard Romney and RuPaul. Everybody else, even if they weren't perfect, would have been acceptable.

My husband was in Vietnam so I salute you! I really don’t get these people.. Common sense.. It is all about common sense not feelings!!!! Feelings will kill you every time.. says my hubby..Common sense should be gnawing at these people not supporting Newt... He is the only one, brave enough to go to Obama! I am so upset at the people who are letting their common sense go out the window, for a Trojan horse they believe can beat Obama.. when sadly it can’t!

Has anyone seen the latest Drudge headline?

Is there ANY question that he’s in the tank for Romney? Man he’s not even trying to hide it.

It will be interesting to see if the consensus here about Santorum is reflected in the next few primaries.

Even if not too many people watched the CNN debate, highlights will be shown tomorrow,Rush and other talk show hosts will play sound bites and discuss it.

I was listening to CNN fluffing Obama after the debate rather than stay on the debate itself....it was sickening hearing them rave about him...and this in light of the debate.

Watch the debate and make up your own mind.

Santorum is a Big Gov spender and not solid in his convictions.

He’s happy to double down on our money to make himself feel good.

We need a guy that doesn’t spend it to begin with because it aint his to spend.

You are talking to someone who was there and participated very thoroughly.

You are telling a falsehood. No Perry supporter ever said what you claim they said.

It’s not melodramatic... it’s true and melodramatic. Norm has cautioned me to let it drop and I will as soon as folks like you stop lying about Perry and Perry supporters.

You cannot support your accusation.

Well, I don’t think picking Newt for your V.P. is a terrible idea for any president. Fact is Romney has gotten better in the debates since South Carolina and lately he hasn’t made any gaffes or had any serious attacks land on him. He still has all the money advantage. I’m just trying to think of a way a Romney candidacy would be somewhat less horrible.

it was all over news today that some stations in Lake Buena Vista Florida (Disney World) were charging @ $5.89/gallon. Lake Buena Vista is actually part of the greater WDW complex, has a captive audience, and this week is mid-winter break for a lot of school districts up north, so they are taking advantage by gouging.

"When I saw her introduce Mitt after the Nevada win—I thought oh lawdy, another MEchelle."

One time I saw her getting ready to introduce him and she turned around and he wasn't there and she said; "Where are you Sweetie?"

Now that is ok to call your husband that at home, but not out on the campaign trail. IMO

I tend to think the Santorum supporters on the whole won't change much to speak of....though am hearing some have come back to Newt after this debate tonight.

We know the media will likely play up Romney big as usual...but I tend to think they'll go mild with Santorum...they'd rather he go up against Obama as an easy win for Obama...time will tell...

Bullcrap. I was told that repeatedly by Perrybots. I was told I wanted dead BBQd mexican kids, I was called all manner of crap by Perry supporters. I I sure as heck wasn’t the only one. Knock off the leftist revisionism.

IM not certain Drudge is so much “in the tank” as he is so far up Romneys arse, that Romney would have to open his mouth so Drudge can see! (spit!)

You can look over the thread to know how Santorum did when the debate was going. His Santobots quiet to almost nonexistent. They know Santo did not do good in this debate.

Don’t get me wrong.
I want to like Santorum, but he never sold me.

Tonight was his night, riding high on a month of good press, but he still reverted to his usual self.

He seems snarky and defensive and dare I say.. unprincipled to me in all his conviction.

My God, i’m watching it now and Santorum is just droning on and on ...looking like an argumentative LAWYER, and Romney is just being Romney by attacking them on insignificant CRAP. It’s just totaly unpleasant to listen to.

Newt IS winning by just sitting there and not being involved and being eloquent. As president, he’d be such a class act.

There never has been any question that Drudge has been in the tank for Romney since 2008 to people who know how to detect media bias. Some people seemed to think that the headlines just “magically” appear on Drudge and aren’t actually chosen for emphasis by a human being. I think even they are coming around now.

When I checked Drudge after the debate, there wasn’t a single headline about Newt being in the debate. Clearly Drudge had nothing negative to say about Newt after this, so he chose not to say anything at all. Of course down the page you can find some negative stories on Newt.
