2. Yep he's the only one getting a bounce here
Perry is ducking the Social Security question.
I have to say the questions are way better than the answers.

5. He's just another slimeball.
and he doesn't even register in the polls and he's hardly making an impression here.

15. so you don't think it's nutty to say that healthcare is about personal responsibility?
Because that's what he just said.

17. Personal responsibility does have a role to play.
If people would lead healthier lifestyles, stop smoking and abusing alcohol, eat a healthy diet and exercise then health care costs would go down. Everybody knows that and I don't see what is wrong with imploring people to do that. That shouldn't be a liberal versus conservative issue.

9. I'm not watching the debate, but from what I've seen, he has no presence
and is exceptionally boring--unless he's improved.

Your looking at it from the perspective of a person who isn't insane.
You can't do that. It's not really about issues with them, it's about emotion.

11. There's some old animosity between those two.
Paul is having fun getting a chance to pick on Perry in a public venue.

10. Remember Who The Audience Is...
The great unhinged. Disconnected from reality since 1980 and looking for the "great white hope". They want the dude in the cowboy boots who talks big and you wanna have a beer with...the "real" conservative ya know :sarcasm:

Huntsman's waaaaaaay over the heads of this motley crew of demagogues. The GOTB primary voters want $2 gas, creationism in every school and keep your hands off my guns.

The disconnect here beats anything the phone company could ever do...

18. Let's Watch The Corporate Media On This One....
I agree with you that there's been an effort to make Huntsman look like the real deal...and most of it generated by the corporate media. The fun will be how the anal-ists spin this afterwards. Lets see who the asshats on faux think who won. That's where the "soul" (:puke:) of the rushpublican party is. Meanwhile I can see Mrs. Greenspan or some other MSNBC stenographer do the Huntsman vapors. Over in freeperville, they think Palin won this debate. :rofl:

Cheers...

19. Yep. Huntsman looks like the more sane of all of them creeps
I am watching it, and that's the same thing I thought after comparing for a whole hour already...Huntsman, to my belief, won this circus.

22. I've been saying for months, that the smartest thing the repubs could do is nominate Huntsman.
He's the only one who could probably beat Obama.

BUT...I don't think he's got a chance.

23. Not sure how they're going to elevate him, he's polling dead last.
I just can't see the red-meat types going for him over Swaggering Cowboy II.

30. A question for Mr. Huntsman
5. Mr. Huntsman, you recently put out a detailed jobs plan. Could you please comment on your decision to tax the elderly on their Social Security Benefits, cutting child tax credits and taxing disability benefits for veterans all while eliminating the Capital Gains tax for big businesses and the wealthy?

34. Huntsman worked in the Obama administration..
RINO to the core..

If he sounds halfway sane he's dead meat in the primary.
