Official Fox News/Iowa GOP Debate Thread

[All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.]

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

Tonight on FOX: The Lynching of Newt

[BushKenya]

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

[Mitt Romney's Hair]

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.

[TXMichael]

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

Agreed

[ucscgaldamez]

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

[ChairmanSanchez]

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

[BushKenya]

Did Perry and Santorum go home?

[ChairmanSanchez]

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

[Senator Snowstalker]

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

I always liked Merkley better.

[Bacon King]

WTF is up with Ron Paul's neck?

[King]

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

[Mitt Romney's Hair]

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.

[Speaker Dereich]

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

[Cincinnatus]

That's an earmark Ronnie.

[BushKenya]

WTF is up with Ron Paul's neck?

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

[Thomas D]

What's with that look Perry?

[Lіef]

Perry looks confused.

[Is JCL in mushy sappy love]

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

[Mitt Romney's Hair]

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.

[All life is a blur of Republicans and meat.]

Ron Paul is old.

[Cincinnatus]

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?

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

[Lіef]

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

[BushKenya]

That was actually a decent answer by Gov. Perry.
