3. Doesn't the loon-wail start at 9?

Republican Debate: GOP Candidates Face Off Ahead Of New Hampshire ...
Huffington Post - 2 minutes ago http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/07/republican-debate-gop-debate-new-hampshire-primary_n_1191693.html


The following presidential hopefuls are taking part in the event: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), Texas Gov. Rick Perry, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.

The same group of six will go head-to-head in another primary debate on Sunday morning.

7. Rick Santorum bashes Mitt Romney right before New Hampshire debate

Rick Santorum bashes Mitt Romney right before New Hampshire debate
http://todaysloser.com/?p=1618

Rick Santorum teed off on Mitt Romney a few hours ago in New Hampshire before the big GOP debate tonight. Romney has been running as a manager who turns things around. The former Pennsylvania Senator took exception to Romney and said the following;

I just don’t think it’s a skill set for what a president needs. We don’t need a manager. Americans don’ want someone to manage Washington. They want someone to fundamentally change Washington and create a vision of where America is going. We need someone who will inspire us, create a vision for us, motivate the American public to do its duty. The country needs someone who is going to go in there and provide that leadership to take on the big, tough issues. And I don’t think we’ve seen any record of that or any vision in what Gov. Romney is trying to promote himself as. He is trying to promote himself as the guy who can win. Pyrrhic victories are not victories.”

[Bonhomme Richard]

8. I can't help but think that the word pyrrhic went right over his base's heads. n/t

[Little Star]

11. You may want to edit your OP to say 9 oclock est not 6 oclock est...

[L. Coyote]

243. Santorum: "There are no classes in America." Perry: "Then what were all those things I didn't go to

http://www.witstream.com/#tweetthepress

[L. Coyote]

247. "If you rip open Ron Paul's suit, you will find one of Romney's sons"

How do they find such brilliant air heads

[joshcryer]

15. It's starting.

[sfpcjock]

16. Hi, y'all!

Take me to Sanitarium's "leader" so I can "fear him".

[L. Coyote]

18. Can you say "Let the debate begin"?

If so, you can have Diane Sawyer's job tonight

[jillan]

19. I already feel sick

[oberliner]

20. Iran is the most pressing issue of the day?

That is not going to be a winner for Rick.

[jillan]

21. Let's go Bomb IRAN - wooo hooo...

[L. Coyote]

22. Insane-torum "Iran is greatest threat"

Economy no problem, deficit no problem, Iran our biggest concern

[L. Coyote]

23. Mitt "My experience is in leadership"

[sfpcjock]

24. Oh, oh Snootie's getting nasty about LBOs!

[oberliner]

26. Romney is grating

And defensive.

[jillan]

27. Mittens sounds nervous....

[think]

29. it's funny to watch them all try to sound like democrats

[sfpcjock]

31. Mittens was in the Olympics of corporate raiders

lmao

[oh08dem]

28. Yep it was soooo painful for you Mitt

with all the money he saved from destroying all those jobs he had to buy a second and third house.

[L. Coyote]

30. Who is that guy?

[joshcryer]

32. Paul's mic is messing up, made an echo, "It caught you not telling the truth Ron."

[oberliner]

33. What's with the sound on Ron's mic?

Very odd.

[joshcryer]

38. Conspircy. He was sabatoged. Probably Hunstman's campaign.

[L. Coyote]

34. Mayhem and feedback when Ron Paul starts talking. Dirty tricks?

Ron Paul can't get a break. Wonderful!

[oh08dem]

35. According to free-enterprise principals

it was his fault.

[joshcryer]

40. Yep. He should've ensured the mic was built by a trusted manufacturer.

He should've insured that the people hooking everything up were trustworthy and should've paid extra to make sure.

[roguevalley]

202. should have had union labor.

[cthulu2016]

51. The chip in his head interferes

[msanthrope]

183. DUZY!! nt

[L. Coyote]

36. "If you haven't been sued by CREW, you are not a conservative." Insane-torments

ROFLMAO So getting CREW's attention is a good thing?

[sfpcjock]

37. Sanitarium: "CREW just sues conservatives."

[L. Coyote]

42. Insanitarium!

[jillan]

44. That Soros-type organization!!

[demtenjeep]

52. what is crew?

haven't heard that one

[karynnj]

101. Here's a link to their Facebook page

It has posts on Santorum - he had enough major ethics problems he made the most corrupt list in 2006.
https://www.facebook.com/citizensforethics

One thing he did was, while actually living in VA, he had the PA district where he had a house pay for the kids' Christian internet based home schooling. (His home in the district was a very modest home typical of the neighborhood. This was not a school district that could easily pay these costs - and even more affluent ones would have complained.)

[Luminous Animal]

117. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics

in Washington
http://www.citizensforethics.org/content/index

[Enrique]

39. this is the GOP's OWS debate

attacking Mitt for his corporate experience, attacking Santorum for his lobbying, how long before one of them yells Mic Check?

[oberliner]

43. A spendometer?

Everyone here is a moron.

[L. Coyote]

45. O.K., who is that guy?

Who are these people?

"I've been the Commander-in-Chief" of Texas. Must be Perry!

[sfpcjock]

46. Rickroll got in the race because "nothing hat'nin' at tha N-head Ranch!"

lol

[oh08dem]

48. Ron Paul is channeling the spirit of John Gault again

*YAWN*

[jillan]

49. Fight! Fight! lollll

[oberliner]

50. If Paul was a bit sharper, he could make his points more strongly

I think he would be able to take down Rick if he was more on his game.

[L. Coyote]

53. "Entitlement reform is where the real problem is" Insanitarium.

How quickly the real problem shifts

[Snarkoleptic]

54. Ron Paul seems to be slurring his words a bit.

Santorum is shiny and looks like he knowa it's the end of the line for his frothy surge.

[joshcryer]

58. If he keeps that up the MSM will say he's leading, imo.

[sfpcjock]

55. Sanitarium: "when Govt. runs up a tab, it's always the D@mn Republicans!"

[joshcryer]

56. Paul just got schooled by Perry and Santorum, total gangup job there.

And it just shows how utterly incapable his ideology is at sounding politically appealing. A lot of conservatives just groaned at Paul's response there.

[oberliner]

57. They are all duds

Feeling good about our chances.

[L. Coyote]

59. Unknown guy "Everyone knows Congress needs term limits"

[think]

62. +1

[oberliner]

61. Romney very keen on spinning everything to an attack on Obama

Part of the "act like the inevitable candidate" script

[joshcryer]

63. Does anyone now question whether Romney will attack Iran?

edit: wrong name

[jillan]

64. Oh Mittens - Which President killed OBL? One mistake after another???

I think your hairspray has gotten into your brain.

[oh08dem]

65. Now Romney wants to kiss ass since he's in the lead. n/t

[oberliner]

66. What a softball question for Perry

And yet he couldn't do anything with it.

the-ay-ters?

[sfpcjock]

67. Mittens, "will endorse the nominee." Oh, H@ll yeah!

[tridim]

68. Willard: Obama is a failure because he hasn't nuked Iran yet.

[roguevalley]

210. mittens protested the protest of the Viet Nam War. What a guy.

[L. Coyote]

69. Perry thinks he was commander of 20,000 trooops in multiple "theaters"

Laughable!

[nolabear]

70. What's with this audience? Not a peep.

Did they disallow Ron Paul's supporters? Did Newt's whistle get rusty?

[spanone]

71. tomorrow morning on 'meet the press' they will regurgitate this same bullshit

[chrisa]

72. Shut up Newt! Chickenhawk!

He just called himself an "Army brat," and is not dodging the question.

[L. Coyote]

77. Being an Army Brat is a qualification for Commander-in-Chief = ROFLMAO

Go with what you got Newt!!

[Enrique]

78. he's sounding indignant

I was an Army brat!

[Cali_Democrat]

73. OFFS....Perry says America's freedom is at risk becuase Obama is reducing military spending

[jillan]

95. That's the new RW wacko talking point. Just turn on faux any time of the day.

:barf:

[sfpcjock]

74. Rickroll: "America must be free to raise the Defense budge 89% in the next decade, too."

[oberliner]

75. Ron Paul is in whiny mode

Put his message in a more "presidential" package and he'd do a lot better.

[joshcryer]

80. Disagree, he's being passionate. It won't sell of course.

[joshcryer]

76. Good going Paul.

[chrisa]

79. Ron Paul: The Broken Clock

He almost sounds sane at the moment.

[tridim]

85. Newt just accused him of casting asparagus.

[chrisa]

81. LOL Newt just got owned.

[Zorro]

86. Boy that shot from Ron Paul stung!

I had 2 kids when I was drafted, and I went!

[chrisa]

90. I can't stand Paul, but he just proved Newt's hypocrisy

[coalition_unwilling]

230. I was half hoping that Paul or Perry would deliver a

verbal uppercut to Romney over his advocacy for the draft during the Vietnam War while being personally exempt from it.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002128336

If Paul is going to call Newt out, he should just as easily call out Romney for his 1% draft-dodgin elitist ways.

[L. Coyote]

82. WOW, Newt calls Paul a LIAR!

"I personally resent ..."

[joshcryer]

83. Respect Paul for that, "During the draft I was married, had two children, I went."

[jillan]

91. That was a great response to fluffernutter.

[sfpcjock]

93. Points!

[FarPoint]

84. Huntsman ...he's the one that is an actual threat.

He's brilliant, intellectual and a republican centrist. The good thing is that the basic teabagger repug can't comprehend such a level of competence. Whoooo.... I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

[chrisa]

87. Ron Paul at the moment: Blub blub blub

WTF Is he even talking about?

[Enrique]

88. Ron Paul: Free Mumia!

[joshcryer]

89. Silence in that room as Ron Paul talks about the drug war.

[oberliner]

94. Not a big selling point for their side of the aisle

Part of it though has to do with the question.

[Warren Stupidity]

99. Neither party is interested in discussing WOD or WOT idiocy.

[L. Coyote]

92. Break. Talking heads filling in "The idea here is to win"

Wow, an Epiphany a day late

[oberliner]

97. I blame it on the lack of a vest

These people are idiots.

[L. Coyote]

103. What's the difference between a talking head and an air head?

Frankly, I'm not sure there is one at the moment

[joshcryer]

96. ABC stream punditry = Romney being left alone, they're attacking one another.

Pretty much.

Romney it will be, imho.

[mfcorey1]

106. There is always a sinister look On Romney's face as he enjoys watching

all the rest devour each other. Pathetic!

[woo me with science]

98. They forgot the dog strapped to the top of the car. nt

[coalition_unwilling]

232. I cannot believe Paul is letting Romney skate for demonstrating

in favor of the draft during the Vietnam War while being personally exempt from its requirements.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002128336

Oh well.

[sfpcjock]

100. ABC: 'I just transferred an Rx to CVS because they bought Longs!'

lol

[high density]

102. Ad for NY Times Digital subscription

Yeah that makes sense during a republican debate. :rolleyes:

[oberliner]

104. What will happen to Santorum with the Gay marriage questions?

Should be fun.

[joshcryer]

105. ABC stream pundit on Ron Paul "forget the substance for a moment..."

This is why Ron Paul gets a platform.

It sounds damn awesome when he rants about stuff we agree with but fuck it is practically meaningless to liberals!

[mfcorey1]

107. Romney filibusters on contaceptives.

[high density]

112. Nope he just came around

Need more justices like Alito and Thomas, et al. Oh God.

[L. Coyote]

108. "Do states have a right to ban contraception?"

Romney "opposed" but "I don't know" is his answer, albeiit SC decided this long ago.

[sfpcjock]

115. Mittens Contraception

[think]

109. romney actually said something smart....

[L. Coyote]

114. "I don't know" ??

[think]

123. I consider stammering before answering a question normal for Republicans

after that he hit the right button?

[chrisa]

110. Oh Mitt. Just answer the question...

[oh08dem]

111. Mississippi Romney, MISSISSIPPI

Instead of Willard it should be Dullard

[rocktivity]

216. They should be asked if any of them can SPELL Mississippi

rocktivity

P.S. As for the clown car cartoon, I deserve credit only for making it a little more dialup-friendly.

[Enrique]

113. Romney claimed not to know about the CT decision

now he says he disagrees with it.

[cthulu2016]

116. Gee Mitt, I can answer a lot of constitutional hypotheticals

[cthulu2016]

118. OMG! Paul defending the commerce clause???

That is very weird.

On edit: Okay, I see where he was going.

But the commerce clause as applied is a liertarian bete noir

[joshcryer]

126. It's in the constitution and he believes in nation states. He loves it.

In his case he would not regulate commerce between the states or nations.

[cthulu2016]

140. He is reading it as a free-trade clause (which is valid)

but skipping past the restriction on state's rights that is part and parcel of the thing.

Interestingly, his view would mean that the moment one state made a drug legal all would have to accept it.

Vermont has a right to freely export their weed.

Amusing in its implications since I don't think he applies that to abortion. An abortionist should be free to ply his trade in all states, IMO.

[oberliner]

119. They are all uniting against George Stephano

And the crowd is with the Republicans on this one.

[L. Coyote]

120. Santorum: "What's the question?"

Decision "created a new right to privacy not in the constitution." Favors "overturning Roe v. Wade"

[high density]

124. People getting more rights-- how terrible!

WTF is it with these hypocrites, and how do they get away with it so blatantly?

[oberliner]

121. Seems like they are freezing Rick Perry out of this

These questions are really stupid for the most part.

[chrisa]

122. My TV is just making a long fart noise at the moment

[jillan]

125. Rolling on the floor that Fluffy is speaking out on the strength of marriage.

[oberliner]

127. What does the Bible say about adultery I wonder....

Must be something in there somewhere.

[jillan]

141. Exactly - I cannot stand their hypocrisy.

[L. Coyote]

128. Huntsman: "I support" civil unions "are fair" "bring dignity"

[fizzgig]

150. that was the least vomit-inducing answer

[Motown_Johnny]

129. Gingrich thinks the government bestows sacraments?

Is he so stupid that he does not know the question was about civil marriage or does he think all the (R) primary voters are to stupid to know?

[sfpcjock]

130. Marriage is so sacred to Snootie that he did it 3 Times!

[L. Coyote]

131. Marriage "a foundational institution of our country" inSantorium

If the Constitution says marriage is between a man and a woman, then ....

[high density]

132. Mitt wants Contractional Relationships

Those sound very loving!

[powergirl]

133. Mittens doesn't sound sincere

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

258. He's NOT sincere! He's a fake, pompous asshole!

[Warren Stupidity]

134. Hate filled loons.

One after another lining up to bash gays.

[sfpcjock]

135. Ann Romney really looks trashy 2nite

[chrisa]

136. Newt: Waaaahhhhh!!!

Ahahahaha! Trained lemmings clapping in the audience. We're so prosecuted! WAHHHH!!!

[Enrique]

137. applause line!

morons in audience!

[oberliner]

138. Opposition to gay marriage uniting all these candidates

Fun times.

[oh08dem]

139. Newt Gingrich and the Christian Right have done more damage

to Christianity than ANY gay man, or woman.

[chrisa]

145. I also find it hilarious how they claim that Christians are the victims.

It shows you the Republican mindset.

[oberliner]

142. When was the last time Rick Perry made a comment?

Do they even bother with him?

[L. Coyote]

143. Ron Paul: Cut "a trillion dollars" from the military budget right off.

[oberliner]

144. The questions are VERY stupid

They ask Perry if he thinks Ron Paul should run as third party?

I mean, what is the point of a question like that?

[joshcryer]

148. They ask Perry if he thinks anyone should run as a third party, it was definitely stupid.

[jillan]

146. War on Religion - get your crosses and your menorahs - let's fight ;)

[sfpcjock]

153. Rickroll: opposition to DOMA is a "war on religion".

OMG

[high density]

147. It's a war on religion because government doesn't dole out free money to bigots?

Oh my.

[Zorro]

152. Rick Perry -- Christian warrior

Time for the Fifth Crusade -- against the US Constitution.

[Snarkoleptic]

149. It's now a contest to see who can pander to the religious right.

Who will throw down a JC as personal savior comment to backdoor Mittens into a Mormon mention.

[JohnnyLib2]

151. Pandering for sure. Next step, a Tebow?

[jillan]

154. Huntsman doesn't suck as much as the rest of them, it's no wonder why he can't get any traction.

[coalition_unwilling]

241. Huntsman would give Obama a serious run for his money, so I'm very

glad he does so poorly with the Repuke base.

[rainbow4321]

155. So now they are ok with giving a timetable of bringing troops homes?

Funny, when Pres Obama gave/gives a time table the repukes say he is endangering the troops over there and the US security back here.

[powergirl]

156. A lot of Shellacked Hair goin' on

[sfpcjock]

157. Snootie has on a neon tie tonight

8~)

[jillan]

158. Look - it's Newt ---->

[img][/img]

[powergirl]

173. Don't dis' the Abominable Snowman!

LOL!!!

[joshcryer]

159. god this criticism of Obama's middle east policy is the weakest, most asinine crap...

...I've ever seen.

[mfcorey1]

160. These are the biggest bunch of miswits to ever grace the political scene. Romney never has an

original thought and always piggy backs on what someone else has said.

[joshcryer]

161. PERRY: SEND TROOPS BACK TO IRAQ!!!!!!!!!!!

[powergirl]

162. Did Perry just say he

would send the troops BACK TO Iraq? Is he sending his kids there?

[high density]

163. Wow, Perry wants back in Iraq

Where's the money for that coming from?

[Cali_Democrat]

164. Perry: I will send troops back into Iraq

Jesus H. Christ.

[JohnnyLib2]

171. GWB all over again.

[joshcryer]

172. AUMF NEEDS TO BE REPEALLED NOW!

[Renew Deal]

250. How exactly does he plan to do that?

[sfpcjock]

165. Sanitarium just used the "Sanitized" word about Obama's DOD

wtf?

[L. Coyote]

166. Perry: Send troops back into Iraq

because Iran is moving back into Iraq at "the speed of light" WTF??

[coalition_unwilling]

244. Perry actually said Iran was "literally moving at the

speed of light [back into Iraq]." One scarcely knows where to begin to dissect the problems with that Palin-channeling.

[oberliner]

167. Perry wants to send troops back in to Iraq?

That's something.

[jillan]

168. Ummmm Rick - the reason we left Iraq has nothing to do with the liberal base....

why not talk to your buddy from your state? I'm sure you'll find him cutting brush somewhere...

[Enrique]

169. Perry: Iranians will move "literally" at the speed of light

super-fast Iranians!

[cthulu2016]

180. We need a neutrino army to stay a step ahead

[Zorro]

170. Iran's gonna move in to Iraq "at the speed of light"

Wonder if that dumbshit Perry actually knows what the speed of light is?

[mfcorey1]

174. Someone please interpret Romney's el toro poo poo. nt

[joshcryer]

175. Romney: Obama puts troops in harms way, he did it in Libya.

WTF?

[joshcryer]

176. Paul waffling on foreign policy. "I don't want Iran to have nuclear, I voted to get Bin Laden."

Can't be trusted.

[powergirl]

177. Paul should mention that KING George W. Bush

sent us to Iraq. Every now and then he makes sense, but then I remember his newsletters and I zone out.

[rainbow4321]

178. Uh, Perry...pretty sure young US men AND WOMEN have lost their lives in Iraq

But what can we expect from a doofus who thinks that the voting age is still 21.

[tabatha]

179. These people are terrifying when it comes to foreign power.

Obama is not aggressive enough - did not leave troops in Libya and Iraq, and should have taken out Assad by now.

(Yet, there are people e.g. **RT** who say that Obama is doing the opposite)

[Gregorian]

181. A strange field. Paul makes the point that Congress should declare war. Not a president.

The other half wants to keep meddling.

[sfpcjock]

182. Mittens is worried that Obama "does Not have troops in harm's way in Libya". WTF?

Cuckoo! Cuckoo!!

[pinboy3niner]

184. Chickenhawk Romney: "Very few families paying the price of freedom"

[coalition_unwilling]

245. I so wanted Paul or Perry (the two vets) to deliver a verbal uppercut

to Romney about why he demonstrated in favor of the Vietnam draft but didn't enlist or serve himself:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002128336

Oh well.

[powergirl]

185. Santorum wants to go to war in Iran too?

Will he be sending one of his kids there? How many wars do we need to be in???

[jenmito]

186. Looks like they all chickened out on attacking Robot Romney. n/t

[L. Coyote]

187. Obama "obviously a Chicago politician" inSanatorium

Fact check on what Obama said about the Iran elections.

Do these guys get to make up anything they want?

[L. Coyote]

190. Here we go again, Part III = on Jobs and ideas for creating more American jobs

[woo me with science]

188. Santorum: The President should not discount people protesting in the streets.

Of course, he is talking about Iran.

[sfpcjock]

189. Sanitarium: "Obama needs to be a million-dollar lobbyist like him,not a Chicago community organizer"

Cuckoo!!

[Warren Stupidity]

191. The ads on the football game are less irritating.

[cthulu2016]

192. Mother-fucker!!! GDP per capita in the US vs. Europe...

sorry... Mitt finally got to me.

[sfpcjock]

193. Mittens: "trade policies FORCED him to export jobs."

[Gregorian]

194. Santorum wants people to get deductions for having more children.

[joshcryer]

195. Haha, end corporate tax = everyone becomes a corporation.

[sfpcjock]

196. Sanbor'em just regurgitated the "highest-in-world corporate tax" canard.

It's 17%, Moran, and the richest pay GOOSE EGG or get huge refunds from him!

[L. Coyote]

197. Romney: Lower taxes and more military spending

Yeah, that makes sense

[JoePhilly]

198. Mitt wants to give tax cuts to the middle class that they can't use!!!!

Most people in the middle class don't have mush income from "dividends" ... what a douche!!!!

[Gregorian]

199. Mitt says "Obama economy" when he really means "Bush's economy". And taxes are not too high. War.

We're just spending our tax income frivolously. And spending it on servicing the debt.

Blame game.

[Gregorian]

200. Mitt- we've got 300 years of energy! Drill baby drill!

Dangerous man.

[jillan]

201. Gossip time - see those red spots on the sides of Perry face? Juvederm baby...

Just don't ask me know I know

[L. Coyote]

203. Perry: Right to work "will make NH a powerful magnet" for jobs

Look how it works in the other right to works states, with poorer economies than the other states!

[cthulu2016]

213. More to the point, he is running for president

If ALL states are right-to-work then jobs will flow into all states from all other states.

Moron...

[sfpcjock]

204. Mittens is sickly in need of a bottle of Cleareyes

OMG

[JoePhilly]

205. Romney now babbling incoherently.

[oberliner]

206. So Romney just gets to make his stump speech instead of answering the questions?

That's how this is going to work?

[one_voice]

207. Mitt sounds desperate...

he's rambling. He looks like shit too.

[Gregorian]

208. Romney just can't stop blaming Obama.

[GusFring]

215. well it's working

[Gregorian]

224. Only because Obama isn't there to defend himself.

[L. Coyote]

209. When is someone going to mention their great leader, George W. Bush?

They cannot run fast enough from their true past

[tridim]

211. I can not fucking wait until Obama gets to defend himself against Willard in the debates.

Good luck to your lying ass Mittens.

[jillan]

214. Ditto!

[RBInMaine]

261. I can't wait until he gets to ATTACK Mittens in the debates. And WE get to attack to him on the

campaign trail and in the ads.

[joshcryer]

212. Newt: Obama trying to create a radical EU style socialist model.

[sfpcjock]

221. "If Obama wasn't so busy paying off capitalist Hedge Funds and mega Banksters...

he be a Huge socialist threat."

[L. Coyote]

217. "We are a country that don't allow for classes" inSanitorium

Is that why you are for cutting education?

[JoePhilly]

218. I love watching them pretend that the last GOP President was Reagan ...

Not Bush #1, not Bush #2 ... and not even the ACTUAL Reagan ... but the MYTHICAL REAGAN that they created.

[L. Coyote]

223. It really is obvious how they shirk their failures while their failing policies are defended.

[JoePhilly]

236. Exactly

[one_voice]

219. Dicky Santorum...

believes he has a better shot than Mitt.

[jillan]

220. Romney is lying his ass off - How can he say that Obama has not opened up exports?

That is one thing Obama has done really well.

[Zorro]

227. Willard conveniently forgot about the recent Free Trade Agreements

[JoePhilly]

239. He knows is audience is too stupid to know that.

[Solly Mack]

222. I tuned in. Now I need aspirin.

I know better. Silly, silly me.

[GusFring]

225. Paul and Huntsman are at least likeable. The rest are assholes.

[sfpcjock]

226. Romney won't let China kill any American jobs that he hasn't sent there Personally!

[napi21]

237. Yea, don't ya just love that comment! "I would tell China that they must stop stealing our jobs

copying our copyrighted stuff!" Did he forget who's been buying almost all our debt? Has he forgotten that it's HIS PARTY who always favors foreign trade? Jack Ass!

[tridim]

242. American manufacturers GAVE China our jobs.

[L. Coyote]

228. Huntsman just slapped Romney silly!!!!

on China trade.

[GusFring]

233. From a liberal perspective, yes. The crowd liked Mitt's more

[oberliner]

229. These moderators are pushovers

They are not asserting themselves at all.

[GusFring]

231. Huntsman is an idiot for running. He should just become a Blue Dog.

[L. Coyote]

234. Here come the conclusion of this debate, Diane is "grateful for this debate"

Five out of six clowns know the difference between basketball and football, one doesn't care, one is just confused.

[Snarkoleptic]

235. It made my brain hurt so I had to bail.

Here's a bit of fun with reading Ron Pauls lips...
http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/0a03ebddbb/ron-paul-a-bad-lip-reading-soundbite

[Zorro]

238. Huntsman had the best wrapup response

[oh08dem]

240. Ummm.. the BCS title game isn't till Monday morans

[muntrv]

246. The GOP is having a debate? I'd rather watch my Detroit Lions get steamrolled by New Orleans.

[Motown_Johnny]

248. Did you hear Mitt talk about being home watching the Championship game?

What an idiot.

Someone else said football was on so he just tried to parrot it.


The guy was even born here and he doesn't know what game the Lions are playing it... WTF?

[L. Coyote]

249. The "basketball championship" quip will be worth watching over.

[Motown_Johnny]

251. Hmm... I thought they were talking football

but then again I was flipping back and forth from the game to the "debate" so maybe I got it wrong.

[oberliner]

253. Newt screwed up

He said basketball, he meant football, but even that was wrong - the game is Monday.

[L. Coyote]

255. Too busy having affairs to know about sports

[Motown_Johnny]

256. no wonder I was confused

I just can't keep track of all their mistakes while channel flipping


Thanks for the clarification

[oberliner]

252. Another interception

Tis a real shame.

[Hippo_Tron]

257. As a Saints fan, if the shoe was on the other foot I'd say the same

Much rather watch my team get fucked up by an honest opponent than watch my country get fucked up by a bunch a plethora of dishonest ones.

Also, you guys looked good out there tonight and gave us a much tougher game than I would've liked. I think you guys are going to have a hell of a season next year.

[L. Coyote]

254. Ron Paul wins the Tweets, Romney second

the others far behind.

[ScottLand]

259. They're calling it the worst debate ever, but I'm not disappointed. A lot of great

new material there!

[JJW]

260. So bad

that the moderators shut it down 20 minutes early. They didn't give the participants a chance to say goodnight and thanks for nothing. They couldn't ask a single question from a list of the top 50 concerns of average Americans. No one had the gonads to challenge Romney who obviously will be their nominee. And Romney wouldn't answer questions, instead he gave his stump speech, his vision for America.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

262. guess that was so they could yak about it even though at every commercial

break they replayed the "high"lights. This was the singularly worst "debate" I have ever
seen. It was like an informercial with no moderator follow-up. The only time George
pushed them was about the SC and contraception - which annoyingly enough made Romney
look right....it was a stupid question. If George was trying to get to something with that he couldn't articulate it, for sure.

what the hell is wrong with Diane Sawyer? What a horrible choice. She doesn't seem to know anything and acted drunk
