August 11th Fox News Iowa presidential debate **live commentary thread**

LOL to you guys. Newt Gingrich dominated with his response on his consultants spending the money and the super committee and the crowd was with him, remember a crowd that was booing and gave him negative approval ratings. If anything this is the turnaround because we're seeing the real Newt tonight who's intelligent, pissed, and knows the issues.

And Santorum taking on Paul and Bachmann, that was impressive.

He was a great Speaker, and is very smart. But he is a awfull campaigner and debater, and Wallace and him hate eachothers guts at this point.

I agree that he sucks campaigning, but not debating And yes pissing off Wallace doesn't help, but what the heck does he have to lose now?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I really love Newt now.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Just realized I have been spelling "answers" wrong all night...

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Huntsman's response re: Rick Perry has made him my instant favorite and hero.

Huntsman 2012.

What did he say?

They asked him about Rick Perry and he made a joke basically making fun of Rick Perry and his constant praying for things. He almost got booed but then he quickly changed the subject. It was awesome.

Huntsman 2012

Huntsman ought to have mentioned he speaks Chinese. Is Paul denying the Iranian nuclear program!?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Finnally a Paul question!!

[Dancing with Myself]

Leave it to Paul to bring up Nuclear War, smh

[Simfan34]

Finnally a Paul question!!

They cheer him? What kind of Republicans are these!?

[California8429]

Paul wants us to be friends with Iran...interesting...

[Thomas D]

I love this guy.

[xavier110]

I love how Santorum DESPISES Ron Paul.

[Cincinnatus]

This question is not good for Paul, even though his answer was fine.

Huntsman ought to have mentioned he speaks Chinese.

This was by far his most impressive response I think.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Leave it to Paul to bring up Nuclear War, smh

But he is right--if we attack Iran then we should attack the Russians, and Israelis. Good for the man in the crowd heckling Santorum.

[Pyro]

Santorum is PISSED

[cavalcade]

The Paul-Santorum ownathon is awesome.

[Thomas D]

These guys are REALLY going to hate going on MSNBC.

[You kip if you want to...]

Good lord, i'm agreeing with Ron Paul...

[Cincinnatus]

Boo-Hoo, you've been given these guys more time.  God he's annoying.  Ron Paul is going to keep schooling Rick if he continues throwing those jabs out there

[Lief 🗽]

I like that Santorum knows how to pronounce Iranian correctly.

[You kip if you want to...]

arc, mark, dinajad.

I understand Paul doesn't want us to waste billions in other countries affairs, but does he have no conscious about political prisoners, about citizens being tortured by their governments with no way out?

[Simfan34]

They go after Santorum??? What kind of Republicans are these! DO NOT GO AFTER THE SHAH, PAUL!!

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I understand Paul doesn't want us to waste billions in other countries affairs, but does he have no conscious about political prisoners, about citizens being tortured by their governments with no way out?

Why should we care when are own citizens are dying of hunger here!

Bad selection of words there, unless of course you meant exactly that.  Which in turn portrays that you have no compassion at all for those outside of your own country.
