After this evening’s performance, Im thinking Rick not only needs handles, he needs a muzzle!

Well Rick's been working all week without either. I was so glad tonight that people could see for themselves that his "performances" are just that. He has a long way to go before he's Presidential material....it's not enough to want to be one....and he needs to get off his "religious" kick. There's a time and place for that and needs to be measured in such a way as to appeal to the "unchurched"...Rick hasn't a clue how to do that.

Name names or STFU! and who cares about ONE supporter?

altura asked for an example, I named one - bullypulpit. I forgot what handle he was banned under for the second and third time - the second time I barely saw him before he was zotted, and the third time I never even saw him.

I could name other names, but the ones I'm thinking of apologized or backed off, and the others....I'm not going to bring up old fights that were settled last fall.

Does look that way....seems they're going to be on the liberal media's throat across the nation in various places . Wouldn't it be great if some heavy hitters contributed to their cause? I hope the word gets out of what they're intentions are.

Now, again, WHERE IS THE ACTUAL PROOF that Obama can wrek ANYONE in a debate? He’s a stuttering fool with a record of destroying America to defend.

Show me proof of his invincibility debating anyone. Thats my point. I’m not a RS guy. But this ongoing chicken little fear is backed by nothing but repetition of a meme created by libs that many are buying into.

************************************************************

THANK YOU! I’ve been asking this very same thing about Obama for quite some time and would LOVE for someone to show evidence to back up this MYTH that Obama is such a formidable debater. I saw NOTHING in his 2008 presidential debates against John McCain that impressed me. In fact, I remember Obama spending a great deal of his debates with a fixed stare slightly off camera as if he were taking on-the-spot cues from a debate coach.

People from our side really need to quit buying into the left-wing narrative that Obama’s such an incredible debater. HE’S NOT!

I can beat that. $6+/gallon in the Canyonlands National Park/Needles in Utah, October 2006. They were closed and thank goodness we had enough to make it back to Monticello.

I'm not whining over anything - I've avoided attaching myself too strongly to any one candidate because I've been watching primaries play out for 40 years and have seen too many people get way too caught up in euphoria over any one candidate, only to have their hopes dashed when their candidate flames out or shoots himself in the foot.

One thing has changed with me though this time around - one thing I'm not going to do is support a candidate just because they win the primary. Romney wins it, I'm voting third party. I'm done voting for liberals with (R) next to their name and telling myself it'll get better next time, because it won't. The longer we keep supporting liberals like Romney, the further down the road to socialism we move.

You will see the audience BOOOOOOooooo him

Because the audience was stacked like chord wood with Mittbot funny underwear wearing fans. I think you will come to the realization after the election next week that this debate didn't matter a hill of beans. No one is watching these things anymore. Here is what the last CNN debate did.

The Jan. 19 debate, moderated by CNN's John King, delivered 5.03 million viewers, according to fast national numbers from Nielsen. And 1.72 million of those were in the news key demo of adults 25-54. Coverage pushed CNN to a win among all cable news outlets between 8:00 and 10:00 p.m.

WOW! Almost as many people a O'Rielly pulls in on an good night. Can you show me how your buddy Newt is going to make up a deficit in the polls behind Paul and overtake the frontrunners based on one poorly watched debate? He's not you silly goose and that is why you are brimming with anger like you normally are. But keep up the insane work. It amuses me.

Perhaps orator might be better said when he has a teleprompter to guide him...no doubt when he needs to he can charm the pants off his followers....who would gladly throw them before him.

I also think he would indeed chew up Santorum..not because he's such a great speaker but that Santorum gets his feathers ruffled easily and then looses his train of thought and babbles on and on....Obama knows how to find his opositions weak points and play on them....Chicago style...or raise the media to drive it home.

A large percentage of women will never forgive him for cheating on two wives. You don’t have to be a soothsayer to accept this fact. It wouldn’t matter if he was as eloquent as Bill Buckley.

Yet we all know how popular Clinton is in the polls and how he would win if he was able to run for a 3rd time. The fact is most women are not conservatives and real Republicans usually don't win the women's vote. Women voted big for Newt in South Carolina while his ex-wife was all over the news. How do you explain that? The only reason Newt dropped in the polls is because of Mitt spreading lies like that Newt "resigned in disgrace," something people as diverse as Dick Armey, Byron York and Charles Krauthammer all denied.

I would be more than happy to debate Obama via skype, in person, whatever and I’d run him into the ground. And I bet there are 1000 freepers just as willing and just as capable.

He is an empty head possessing only the knowledge someone temporarily deposits in it.

Over and over, supposed conservatives here and elsewhere, msm included repeat the liberal meme of his skillZ...Crap! where are they? Fess up folks. SHOW ME his brilliance or stop repeating the lie.

Just one example of Obama, off script/teleprompter wowing the world with his rapier wit and command of the language/facts.

Just one...

Anyone????

Buhler???

I am so tired of this meme being repeated on FR. Are you claiming that he "cheated" with men? Seems to me that those "cheaters" were women also. So, you think women are all pure,holy victims?

Sorry, I won't let you speak for me, or any of the other women I know. It takes three to break up a marriage that way -- and two of them were women. Maybe it was Newt who was the victim. (IMO, that was clearly the case with wife #2, who seems to be a vindictive b*tch and a Jezebel who enticed him from his old high school teacher. Heck, I would want to move away if she were my neighbor. Imagine how awful it might have been to live with her!)
