Talk Elections

http://www.9and10news.com/Category/Story/?id=314430&cID=3

6?

Huntsman is attending, I can tell you that.

Sioux City Journal lists all 7 as attending.

http://www.siouxcityjournal.com/news/local/a1/analysis-stage-set-for-gop-debate/article_fbd5cd27-f835-5adb-8646-7c5159744774.html

I will probably watch this one.

With all due respect to my west coast friends, I like it better when the debates start at 8.

We could solve this problem with my proposal: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=145211.0

Just sayin' :P

Is it tonight?

Aye: http://www.2012presidentialelectionnews.com/2011/12/fox-news-iowa-gop-debate-tonight-at-9pm-et/

I'm feeling a major implosion by either Paul or Gingrich.

Book it.

who's pumped?  I'll be stoked on PBR and chicken wings

Newt has his whole campaign on the line tonight.

I agree.

I have PBR but I feel like I should save it for the weekend.

Hey, That's the guy who beat up Mitt!

Lively crowd..

Huntsman on the edge. Poor fellow.

I didn't know the center of the stage was reserved for the front runner?

Do questions usually sound so pro-Newt?

I'd rather lose like Carter then Hoover.

He's definitely leading Bachmann.

That's the 2nd question for Newt.  Anybody else going to get in the game?

I already need two drinks for the Reagan references.

Gosh, the Paulites are out again for their old man.

Paul is wearing a proper fitting suit, and looks more awake. This may be his big night.

RAWWWWWWNNNNNNNN PAAAAAAAAWWWWWWLLLLLLL

Audience loves Paul.

Do civil liberties not include a women's right to decide what to do with her body and for homosexuals who love each other to get married? Dear Lord.

Are you going to survive the night?

"Why do you suck so much?"

Rick Santorum wants Iowans to catch fire.

Good start Ron :)

Why didn't she press Paul on supporting the nominee?

Poor Santorum. Noboby cares, bro.

So, who had Santorum as the first to attack Newt?

Santorum face is locked in ;D mode

Paul started out well and while it was admittedly a pretty awful question, Santorum's not really inspiring with his answer.

CALLISTA.

I couldn't help but laugh at that.

loltorum

Dear Rick Santorum
Please get off your knees, and stop it with Newt. He obivously prefers women.

Mitt Romney should narrate audio books.

Will Rick Perry have any gaffes tonight?

Quick people, I need a livestream.

The white! Why Michele!?

http://www.youtube.com/foxnewschannel?feature=inp-lt-fox

This. So this. Also, Romney's also started off well today.

This debate will probably be:

Mitt vs. Newt

Bachmann, Perry & Santorum vs. Paul

Better than looking pissed off all of the time.

Wow, Bachmann is 55?

It's off-white/beige, thank you very much!!

"Rick Perry, you suck at debating."

That's all Cavuto needed to say.

Perry and Obama getting it on? Nasty.

Oh God....She said what we all were thinking..."I spent 50 years as a real person". Obviously she's not real anymore. Fantastic.

live.foxnews.com

sigh

Obama's only been in office 3 years.

So you weren't a real person when you were 4?


Get it on?

TEBOW!!!

"Well get it on"--Rick Perry.


WTF does this have to do with Tebow?????

Comedy Central Presents Rick Perry.

PERRY IS TEBOW

Rick Perry just declared himself the next Tebow. /facepalm

Foxnews.com should have it.

"Tim Tebow may not have the right throwing mechanisms or the right quarterback skills and the the right...uh...uhhhh...the other thing..." - Rick Perry

Obama and Perry will get it on.

Thanks man.  Perry getting applause as I join.

What the hell was that answer?

Good one Huntsman :)

I see Mr. Perry is on speed this evening.

Jon Huntsman is like Mitt Romney's nerdy younger brother.

Huntsman laying it on today.  Nice.

She has about a couple of gallons in makeup on.  Looks like a bunch of botox too.

And I swear Perry is popping some major pills.

That 1 minute bell is being ignored.

"Bottom up." - Rick Santorum

Better looking though.

Three years of on-the-job training, Gov. Perry? Is that what you would do?

Santorum and Perry are not funny. They need to make me laugh.

Santorum is like an averaging looking girl who keeps asking during sex if the American people if we like it, annoying us greatly.

Also, Perry is one tick on the fast forward button away from sounding like a chipmunk.

I see Mitt Romney is kissing left wing ass tonight.

No one made you run for Governor in MA. You could have run in Utah.

Oh, of course, he's certainly still on some pain meds from his Summer back surgery.

Saul Alinsky!  Drink.

So Ron Paul hates poor people. Good to have that confirmed in person.

"Some want welfare others want warfare" really Ron? I'm rolling my eyes over here.

"No New Taxes".  That worked very well for the first President Bush didn't it?

Gingrich: "Obama is a Saul Alinsky radical."

Jon Huntsman is pretty good tonight.

At least its a catchy slogan.

And is anyone else thinking that Bachmann has the most annoying voice on the stage?

He doesn't come off as some aloof "haha you guys are so dumb" type of guy like in the past.

Any name that rhymes with Alinsky sounds like something Gingrich would use to hit his opponents over the head with

While Newt is a smart guy, and I'd vote for him over Obama, my allegiance remains strongly with Mitt.

Also, I have no idea how Cain and Perry once surged, while Santorum never had his moment. Perry is, quite literally, a moron.

After tonight, we will say goodbye to Huntsman, Santorum, and Bachmann. I would include Perry and Paul, but Perry is stubborn and will continue, and Paul is delusional due to his cult following and a few respectable polls - he'll never win the nomination.

Let's be honest, it's between Newt and Mitt. Let's hope the stormin Mormon pulls through.

Hmm....what do you guys think this topic that hasn't been mentioned yet is?

Can we please send Santorum and Bachmann home?

Perry is at least obviously on some sort of stimulant with potential for lulz.

What did he say?

Gingrich is looking more pissed off than usual tonight. I hope he makes plenty of snide remarks!

I'm guessing the topic not covered before is some social issue.

Hopefully it's entitlement reform.

HEY! LET'S VOTE FOR THIS GUY! HE'S NOT ROMNEY!!!

I beg to differ. Ron Paul is a serious top-tier candidate to get the nomination.

What social issue hasn't been mentioned though?

I hope they ask about ethanol.

Don't remember now, but it was something coherent and well articulate that got a lot of applause.

Romney "It's a good preparation for us as that's what the President would attack us with". Are you saying you are the nominee already or do you know where your weakness is?

()

I did this.

Obama hasn't lived in the real world but Mr. Son of a Governor has? Right, that makes sense.

With that kind of foreign policy? Not a chance in hell.

Can you really imagine that whiny voice trying to force Iran to stop its nuclear program? Really?

HA!

That actually has not come up in debates, has it?

Newt: Let's be clear, everyone who has done what I've done is corrupt.

Yup Newt, juuuuust a private citizen. An average, private citizen.

RON PAUL CALLS GINGRICH A FASCIST

Paul: "lwehf8394yho;3gj;oqegnel;bgklebg.b"

Another attack on the average American.

Gingrich: The government can do good things.

Newt: My lobbying was just like local co-ops!

Paul dropped the F-bomb. Fascism.

Well, a certain fusion of Government and Capitalism is Corporatism, which is a facet of traditional fascism.

Your views on foreign policy quite frankly sound murderous. Who cares if Iran has nukes? Its is simple as that. Who cares? They WONT use them, they are not that crazy.

Gingrich looks confused.

Bachmann says everything Paul was trying to say but coherently.

The only thing I agree with Paul about is over the war on drugs. That failed program needs to end. Completely. Not just over marijuana, but absolutely completely. Only Paul would get that done. No Republican would. No other politician would - if anyone, it would be a liberal.

Other than that, Paul is off his rocker. His foreign policy scares the beejesus out of me.

@BretBaier ask Ron Paul about his pro-life credentials Santorum attacked him on Hannity today concerning them. #iowadebate

I wont disagree with this too much....

Here it comes guys.

Obviously they won't use them. The principles of MAD still apply. Sadly, MAD is utterly irrelevant when it comes to terrorists. When Iran has connections with the likes of Hezbollah, it makes for a very scary proposition. Think about it.

Whoah, did Bachmann just tell people to look at her record on Politifact? Aren't most of her statements "Pants on Fire" or close to it?

That was a strong reponse by Perry, honestly.

I think Bachmann just landed a fairly substantial body-blow on the Grinch.

Tonight on FOX: The Lynching of Newt

Gingy is taking the high road by saying "I'm not in the business of blaming Romney".

I do like how Newt acts as the elder statesmanship, though and how he refuses to attack his republican counterparts despite the moderators' attempts. Say what you want about Newt, but that's respectable.

Agreed

since I'm not watching, just reading your comments...who's doing well tonight? and who is blowing it?

I'd like to apologize, I was not calling you murderous, but we cannot go into Iran.

Terrible Wyden teaming up for that Paul Ryan sh**t.

Did Perry and Santorum go home?

Paul wants to make the pie smaller, but if it is going to be this big, he might as well take a slice.

I always liked Merkley better.

WTF is up with Ron Paul's neck?

Ron Paul is right on earmarks.  Cavuto is too dense to get it.

Why does it sound like Paul talks in run on sentences when he speaks. Slow down, big guy. Periods at the end of sentences are useful.

Really, he's going to get his ass kicked if he has the (mis)fortune of taking on Obama in debates.

Ron Paul is getting some tough questions, giving some mixed answers.

That's an earmark Ronnie.

Isn't that just the "Adam's Apple Crease"?

What's with that look Perry?

Perry looks confused.

 Walter Block said a similar thing in a lecture I attended at Purdue. Throws the balanced budget blast.

For all the comparisons between Bush and Perry, I never ever thought Bush was stupid. And still don't. Perry is a moron. He's also not as nice as Bush, but that's by the by.

How Perry surged in the polls still boggles my mind.

Ron Paul is old.

The one she referred to may be the only one marked true.

I think Perry and I can agree on one thing: the Austin American Statesman sucks.

That was actually a decent answer by Gov. Perry.

Bachmann has "pray the gay away", Newt is a lobbyist, Romney has Bain Capital, Paul has earmarks, and Perry has, well, alot....Is it me, or is Huntsman the only one without a skeleton in the closet?

I don't think Perry had any idea Congress only works 150 days a year.

Perry is surprisingly on his A game tonight, even though he looked like a deer in the headlights for a moment there.

Perry is ridiculous. haha.

So Perry thinks congress should only be able to tackle issues every other year? How does that make sense?

Yeah. He's 76!! And people had problems with McCain's health/age? I wasn't a McCain supporter by any means, but a clear double standard is at play here.....

Huntsman smells blood with Paul's earmark answer, goes for internets vote.

Yeah, if he somehow gets the nomination whoever he picks for VP will be pretty important, if you catch my drift...

Hilarious populist rhetoric is hilarious.

I never had a issue with McCain's age, and both Paul and him seemed healthy, but I agree that the age question should be addressed in the debates.

That was a big reason I didn't vote for McCain and a big reason I have no interest in supporting Paul.

Somebody's in over his head.

Huntsman doesn't have enough sway for the media to even bother looking in his closet.

I think so. That's part of his theoretical appeal.

Romney: Let's go support Toyota over Tesla or Fisker!

LOL, Mitt Romney thinks that the government has no place in deciding which energy system will be the next one. For such a "smart" guy, he sure doesn't really know anything about economic history.

I dont think they want too...he was their favorite son for a while.

Mitt is the most reasonable, and sensible candidate, it's not even funny. How he's not running away with the nomination as of yet is beyond me.

Romney is doing well so far.

Haha, the attacks on Newt continue!

That about right.

Good Answer, Newton!!

Ah...the topic is courts. Gingrich's answer doesn't make me feel that he would honor checks and balances. Kind of scary stuff.

America is not a theocracy, Newtie.

...

Did Newt Gingrich just endorse court packing?

Newt once again thinks he's a historian. Cute.

Go troll one of your side's many Paultard message boards, dude.

HISTORIANS VS. LAWYERS

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

Did Newt seriously say what FDR tried to do with the courts was a good thing???

He sure did. Like his boy FDR

Why are Bachmann, Santorum, and Huntsman wasting their (and our) time? Do they really think they have any chance now? Get off the stage and let the men talk.

This is just what Romney needs.

fricking Bachmann wants to overturn Marbury vs. Madison.

And some common sense from Ron Paul. And quiet applause.

Paul finally made some sense :P

Bachmann clearly failed the 8th grade.

I like what Bachmann just said, but Ron Paul is right.

George Will explains this Newtism best IMO.

Ron Paul is the only one making sense, even if he's completely incoherent when speaking.

Bachamann had a so-con moments.

No. She is trying to save Marbury vs. Madison.

Romney's great tonight. Witty, competent, presidential.

Perry looks drugged up on something.

Oh God, "going down the line" will take ages

I am interested in Perrys proposal on abolishing life terms on the SCOTUS.

That question blew up in her face.

Say Kennedy Jon.

Wasn't this question about which one was your favorite? Naturally, Romney names all of the conservatives. This guy is a self parody.

As is the norm for him.

Huntsman is speaking now. He sounds so scripted. Bachmann sounds so scripted, too....

"Scalia, Scalia, Scalia"

 all of you.

Oh boy, social issues!

Why is Megyn Kelly even here?

Iran debate coming up. Where did my buddy go? Time for Romney to kick Paul's ass and show what real foreign policy means. :)

A national popular vote ad during this debate? Ok...

Erm. He did that on purpose. To be funny, while proving a subtle point......

Kind of surprised I agreed with Perry there. Also, odd commercials for Fox.

I'm sure all the conservatives will love Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, too.

Because she's hot.

Finally.


Its more like Ron Paul will kick Mitt's rear.

Because she thought Bachmann would replace her in the kitchen. Sadly, this has not been the case.

Would you get rid of your sexist attitude, please?

Bomb-bomb-bomb-bomb-bomb-Iran!

Chill. It's called banter.

Ron Paul is out of his mind.

Paul is 100% on Iran. If we could survive the USSR, then we could survive the Iranians easily.

What else is new?

Paul couldn't be clearer. I wish they would stop asking him this over and over.

How so? Iran is no threat.

Again, Paul can't complain he isn't getting enough time.

Ron Paul is one of the only politicians in the United States who understands the Iran issue.

Let's see what Mitt says soon. Paul is off his rocker.

They cant stand someone with dissenting opinions.

Moderator: "By God, I will do everything I can to derail Ron Paul's candidacy"

Alot more then 89 seconds.

We will be a radical theocracy too if this guy gets elected.

Santorum is an idiot. MAD WOULD work with Iran. But it WOULDNT work with the terrorists they sponsor. Again, let's see what Mitt says.

Santorum attacking Islam blah blah...
Why is he still here?

THEY HATE OUR FREEDOM!

They mentioned Romney's book, take a drink!

Hey, let's give Romney a soft-ball question.

Why didn't Paul argue that he was adopting the classic conservative standpoint when it comes to war with Iran when this dweeb moderator said he was to "the left of Obama" on it?

Romney wants to take over the world! Mwahaha!

Mitt, the next POTUS.

And Romney gets the softball.

I don't think he's gotten a hard question at all tonight.

Can Fox News please stop with that bing. I keep thinking someone sent me a gchat.....

These people are just crazy fascists. Seriously. Literally fascists.

Help me out, I can't decide if Bachmann is pretty tonight or not?


Also, are they cheering or booing her anti-Paul statement? I couldn't tell.

Bachmann looks like one of the elves from LOTR.

Her head seems scary giant.

OBAMA IS DOING IN IRAQ LITERALLY WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF BUSH HAD HAD A THIRD TERM YOU STUPID IDIOT

Ah. Thank you Paul. It's nice to hear a semi-sane person here.

He is so lost up there.

"Why were we even flying a drone over Iran?"

Ron Paul is a FF sometimes.

Calm down, Paulie! And, crowd, STOP YOUR INTERRUPTING APPLAUSE...

BACHMANN-PAUL FIGHT!

A strong national defense is defense. Not preemptive action.

Spreading "Jihad" across the world = Bad.

Spreading "freedom" across the world = Good.

Ron Paul is an idiot.

Erm. Spain pulled out of Iraq, and they were still attacked. If you believe what the terrorists say their motives are, you are so naive, it's unbelievable.

I will get some heat for quoting this, but Bill O'Reilly circa 2006 or 2007 said something like "If the terrorists threw their weapons in the sea, the violence would stop; if we threw our weapons in the sea, we would still be attacked."

Simple as.

Ron Paul is an idiot.

To the troll from Texas: when did anyone on the stage say all Muslims are the same/terrorists?

Mom's fighting with her father-in-law again....

GO GO GO DON'T STOP

Amen.

WOW! I have not seen Paul this angry since the 1988 Morton Downey show.

I might start non-ironically supporting Ron Paul. Seriously. He's the only one that understands the Middle-East or terrorism at all.

Paul to Bachmann: You're being dramatic!

Bachmann's like "OK, nobody else is going to go after Paul?  Cause I'm in."

MEMO TO RON PAUL: TERRORISM IS NOT THE SAME AS DEALING WITH THE LIKES OF THE USSR!!!!!!

The guy is idiotic with foreign policy. He will never win the nomination simply because of this fact.

Scary stuff coming from the libertarian.

That's exactly what your guy said...He leads the warmongering, and then uses the threat of terrorism and "Sharia Law" coming here as a serious argument to go to war. Do you honestly believe that crap?

I endorse this quote

Spain pulled out of Iraq after they got attacked.

I've had my fill of Ron Paul for the night, the election.

No kidding, everyone else on that stage besides Huntsman scares the shit out of me...

If only he was as young and quick witted now as he was then...

left-communists for Paul.  I'm down.

This moderator is awful.

You're right. Objectively, there's really no difference between the ideology of democracy and others like communism, fascism, Nazism and theocracy. Spreading one is just the same as another.

It's just impossible to say that one of those forms of government is any better than the next, empirically speaking.

Just quit it with the bell. It's useless.

Huntsman, you're not Gingrich and that's ding.  Please GTFO.

Perry returns!

Why should Iran not have nukes? Give me a reason, and I will debunk it ;)

Ok, anyone serious want to answer my question?

If only there were some way to elect Ron Paul's foreign policy (plus the drugs thing, I guess) without the completely gutting the welfare state part.

BOMB BOMB BOMB BOMB BOMB IRAN!

Newt goes meta!

Republicans for Stephen Harper!

Wow, Harper is being a jerk.

So... being blackmailed by Iran is bad... but being blackmailed by Canada is good...

???

()

Newt Gingrich is winning this debate.

Memo to Cavuto:  No one is going to directly answer your questions, just get over it.  You're questions are meaningless and futile.

the latter wouldn't happen, or at least there would be no more risk of that than there would be under an agent-of-capital Republican, like Romney or Gingrich.  and if somehow the welfare state were axed to the ground it would breed chaos.  it wouldn't hold.

Iran supports Hezbollah, which has said its goal is to kill all Jews. Not all Israelis. All Jews, in the world.

A source:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alan-dershowitz/hezbollahs-goal-going-aft_b_26983.html

Nah. Mittens.

That has nothing to do with nukes. Cuba wants to spread Communism throughout Africa. What else is new?

Huntsman! I like you, but PLEASE, answer the question. No need to always be so long winded. Short answers are okay.

Unfortunately, a lot of Paul's foreign policy ideas are pretty bad outside of the war stuff. No foreign aid... none at all? Uhh...

Gingrich lost the first half - they need to hammer him harder. He has a talent at escaping valid attacks.

I wish Huntsman would not do that. He has so much potential.

Well, right, but the risk would still be significantly higher than if Obama were re-elected.

Though maybe the only way to build a real, European-style welfare state in this country is to destroy it all and then rebuild it from scratch.

You would have put your re-election over what should be done too, you just will not admit it.

It doesn't scare you that a political entity that has pushed for the extermination of ALL JEWS in the WORLD is about to get nuclear weapons?

You wouldn't at least call it a reason why they should not have nukes?

you believe in Obama well more than I do yet, that's been well established.  I'll leave you with a Mao quote: "Destroy first, and construction will take of itself."

Iran wasn't like that before we attacked Iran in 1953.

Do you honestly believe that? That the 1940's will be repeated? With NATO, the UN, and other mass alliances (SEATO, etc), a mass, international invasion would be launched (and I would support it) against Iran.

Irans leaders are evil people who only care about themselves. Thats why Iran and North Korea are building nukes---to make themselves look big and scary.

the only good thing about capitalism: there's always more PBR

You're kidding? Right?

Look: MAD is irrelevant with terrorists for obvious reasons.

If Iran makes a covert deal with Hezbollah, who they sponsor, and Hezbollah launches an attack, what do we do? More specifically, what do we do if we never discover that Iran supplied Hezbollah with the weapon?

Newt said in a recent debate something along the lines of "I'm not going to wait until we lose 3,000 people, I'm going to make sure we don't lose those 3,000 people in the first place." I agree with that. And so do most on the stage tonight, except for Paul. And it's why I admire Bush's foreign policy so much.

You do not wait to be attacked before you respond. Your respond before you're attacked. Ron Paul is so beyond reality to think otherwise.

I hate to use cliches but isn't this what WWII was suppose to teach us? I'm not saying we necessarily go to war with Iraq in the same way as we did with Iraq, but we can still use force.

Also, on a side note, Iraq made much more sense than Libya. Just saying.

I think SEATO is defunct.

And I never said Iran would succeed, thankfully. But you asked for reasons why Iran should not have nukes. I think I have given a pretty good one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GftT7COo67Q

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF47rrHd7wo&feature=related

So Mexico is a front for Iran?

I forgot Santorum was there.

Perry's quietly been doing a pretty solid job tonight.

now that the expectations are gone it's smooth sailing

We sure prevented that Iraqi nuclear attack well.

Too bad he's probably too far gone to turn it around in the last 18 days before Iowa.

Rick Perry also has no idea what the Monroe Doctrine is.

Iran would have no reason to give nuclear weapons to any organization, even one that it sponsored if it got them. Have you ever heard Ahmadinejad speak about them? The main reason for pursuing them is national glory and regional influence, not for some sort of crusade against Jews or America. Its support for organizations like Hezbollah is more for increasing its influence in Lebanon rather than destroying Israel.

Were Democrats this annoying running against Bush in 2003? I forget.

He does deserve a little more time.

NATIONAL ID CARD!

LOL the drug cartels are working with Iran to destroy America guise GOTTA INVADE CENTRAL AMERICA AGAIN, REAGAN-STYLE

I just mistook 'odds and ends' for 'occidents' in this song I'm listening to

more fascism from Mittens.

seriously if one of these insane cannibals bombed out one of the Bank of the South countries I don't think I'd be able to take it.

To be fair, He, Gov. Martinez (NM), Gov. Brewer (AZ), and Gov. Brown (CA) would know more about that than anyone else in the nation.

I mean, you'd think as much, but unfortunately he believes crazy conspiracy theories instead.

Santorum and Romney fight approaching???

oh lawdy,

SANTORUM: MITT ROMNEY PERSONALLY CONDUCTED GAY MARRIAGES

GUT HIM RICK, RIGHT IN THE FACE

Wow, Chris Wallace really does hate Romney. I guess we have something in common.

Here comes another Bachmann/Gingrich spat?

Gingrich must think Bachmann is such a dumb whore

Bachmann's going for the throat. Its kinda fun to watch.

OMG Bachmann is out to knife Gingrich.

Gingrich, again, looks confused to her answer.

he and I share something in common

Bachmann: but can I rebuttal?

Bachmann: I'm serious, PLEASE LISTEN TO ME. SOMEONE, ANYONE.

Oh Gingrich....

lol at Bachmann seeing it necessary to call herself a "serious" candidate

Her first "fact" is that she is a serious candidate for president.

Ipso facto, Gingrich is right: Bachmann's facts are wrong.

No, Michele, you're a liar. Literally everything you say is literally a lie.

When someone has to call themself a serious candidate, they are not a serious candidate.

The Bachmann "Serious" statement, if she was a serious candidate, would be the "i'm not a witch moment" I think.

A non OWS heckler?!?

Was that a heckler?

Politifact agrees :)

Federal Reserve heckler.

Did some crazed Paulite interrupt the moderator? lol.

An anti-federal reserve heckler!

...and then we remember why we can't support Ron Paul.

I think it may have been a producer signaling time is winding down.

Paultard audience interruption sums up the self parody campaign so well.

Paul going after the media! There we go!

Ronald Reagan also brought clarity to the his opponents.

I agree that the heckler was annoying, but if Pauls campaign is a parody, then God knows what Santorums is....



Bachmann has no knowledge of history at all, doesnt she? Reagan said the "4 years ago" quote in a general, not a primary.

Romney: A
Gingrich: A-
Perry: B+
Bachmann: B
Santorum: B-
Huntsman: D
Paul: F

lol...

LOL, Rick Perry was apparently dog-whistling Tim Tebow to the evangelical voters with the NHL player quote. His campaign managers know what they're doing.

What was the heckler saying?

It may have been a FOX employee who wanted to tell them to move on but got too close to the mic. Something about asking a few questions regarding the Fed, which means it also could of been a Paul supporter.

It was some sort of Paul supporter ranting about the Federal Reserve...

Am I the only one who found Bachmann particularly attractive tonight? I'd hit it. Or did I have too much to drink earlier?

Too much to drink.

Probably because I actually got slightly excited when she was on camera. Maybe it was the all-white outfit. Something about a woman who wears nothing but white.

I missed it, but read a bit about the court stuff....

HOLY F

So you think that Japan was right to attack the United States?  That's what your line of reasoning supports.

you should read Noam Chomsky's AJ Muste and american aggression in the pacific or whatever on Earth the title was

MODIFY: he Revolutionary Pacifism of A. J. Muste: On the Backgrounds of the Pacific War

Yeah, I know. Gingrich is completely off his rocker. That's why I have been ranting about the guy on here for a couple of weeks. You want to talk about a dictator in the making, that's a President Gingrich after taking perverse advantage of a significant crisis. I truly believe he is mentally ill and not in a harmless way.

Its not just Newt, its basically the entire Republican Party

He's talked about abolishing courts he politically disagrees with before, just not the Berluconian "judicial dictatorship" sh**t and "court-packing is OK when I do it."

Gingrich's rant about the courts makes me wonder how some people possibly believe he won the debate. Sure, he had some great responses and remained composed, but his blatant disregard for the Constitution during this topic was appalling.

Now you're just being hopelessly partisan...

How was it ?

Please someone give me a short summary.

That's not fair. Romney and Paul gave good answers.

You clearly aren't familiar with Smash. Get used to it.
