LIVE DEBATE THREAD (Is it too early to start?)

[Cato in PA]

It wouldn’t make me any more likely to vote for Romney. No amount of smear ads, no endorsements, no VP could ever convince me to open for an open socialist.

[Toespi]

Santorum just moonwalked on females in combat.

[llandres]

“Romney hates Georgia and Georgia hates Romney.”

It SO pi$$es me off that the others joined him in turning down the GA debate.

God bless warrior Newt - there’s a lot of might and power working against him from many sides. A Georgia debate would’ve really boosted him, and they’re all joining together to marginalize him as much as possible.

[Gator113]

You’re right, but Newt still manages to get more applause than the others... fwiw.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Help me here ... every time Santorum opens his mouth and tries to sound serious and smart .... I burst out laughing.

This can’t be good :^D

[SuzyQue]

Oh, you mean the important stuff?

[rodguy911]

Yeah I get it,it is CNN what can you expect.

But, that should not prevent our candidates from speaking up. Newt did several times. He got right to the heart of what we were all thinking. That's why we support Newt so much. He is us!

[matginzac]

Deo Volente should replace King for sure....this debate should go on to the wee hours...

[AllAmericanGirl44]

They did touch on the auto bailout and religious freedoms, crouched in the oh so exciting pill debate ...
but as for the rest, nope, not a word.

[dandiegirl]

I think you are wrong. I think BO will be beaten badly.

[show]

Newt Gingrich is the best political strategist in the country. He knows our Nation from A - Z. While the liberal media will go after him once he is President, they will RESPECT him.

They know with Newt that would be the first post-modern authentic Founding Founders’ type of President who would be willing stand on our Nation’s foundation.

Newt is the sliver-haired George Washington and should be our next President of the United States.

Go NEWT!

[Jane Long]

RuPaul just moonwalked on the nuclear Iran situation. No fool like an old fool.

[LostInBayport]

Ron Paul

rhymes with

Nut Ball

Y’all

[writer33]

No, sir. You can’t attack Santorum. You have to convince me why I can vote for your candidate. What’s good for the goose is good for the gandor. Wouldn’t you agree?

[sandshark222]

This is essentially when Ron Paul is saying: “Iran wants nukes, and it’s America’s fault”

[Deo volente]

Ron Paul, apologist for Iran.

Disgraceful.

[Wisconsinlady]

Seriously, Ron Paul? We are causing Iran to react because they feel threatened?

[reasonisfaith]

You’re delirious.

[RitaOK]

Of course now. Me neither. I personally know NO ONE who will vote for Romney.

[sillsfan]

anyone else tired of the faux urgency in santo’s voice when he’s trying to sound presidential?
