Official CNN South Carolina Debate Thread

[Likely Voter]

Has Mitt Romney weighed in on Motherhood or Apple Pie yet?

[Likely Voter]

I get the sense that someone back and RomneyCoLabs^TM analyzed the Sarah Palin Phenomenon and decided the key to popularity with conservatives is "More patriotic platitudes Mitt!"

[Likely Voter]

Notice how Mitt never says Massachusetts, he says "in our state"

[Likely Voter]

Romney mentioned he has compassion

he just lost the nominatino

[Likely Voter]

A year ago everyone was saying that Romneycare would sink him and be the one big issue, and yet it has really only been on a low boil so far.

Why has it taken this long for things to get heated.

[Likely Voter]

Paul tells the truth (repealing Obamacare is not going to happen in reality) and crowd goes silent

[Likely Voter]

I like how Paul actually tends to tell the truth in these things.

Can we repeal Obamacare? Meh, probably not.

Paul's plan is to basically wait until out of control inflation destroys the economy and then start things again from scratch.

Thats why he is so obsessed with gold!  Paul is really running to be the first post-Apocalypse President.

[Likely Voter]

Yeah, Santorum would never say something embarrassing as President

[Likely Voter]

Romney: if you want to see my tax returns, you are a Obama Socialist.

[Likely Voter]

God this taxes thing is killing Romney

[Likely Voter]

Apple isn't using China to make ipads because of taxes Rick

[Likely Voter]

Politco is getting frothed up over his boyfriend flailing. Oh god. Here comes a dozen repetitive spam posts about Romney godhood and Gingrich evil-ness

[Likely Voter]

As someone in socal, I just want to say FU Newt. Hollywood entertainment provides one of the greatest economic and cultural exports of the country and is something that cant be outsourced.

I dont support SOPA, but that kind of anti-Hollywood pandering is the worst.

[Likely Voter]

Audience booing SOPA, awesome.

Finally, GOP Primary audiences booing stuff that deserves booing.

I think they were booing Time Warner.

Everyone has had to wait in their house for someone to arrive sometime between 9am and 2pm...and not show up

[Likely Voter]

The only thing that makes Santorum a Republican is he wants low taxes.

Otherwise he wants the government way upside your grill. In your bedroom, your family, your computer, etc.

[Likely Voter]

So Romney and Gingrich actually agree on immigration?

[Likely Voter]

Newt: I want to thank CNN for being a strawman for me to attack the media

[Likely Voter]

Newt keeps talking about a series of lincoln douglas debates with Obama as a selling point.

Of course he knows that those will never happen. The parties have already agreed on the presidential debates

[Likely Voter]

Is Santorum calling himself the next Reagan?

They have all tried to anoint themselves as the next Reagan

Except Paul. He is kinda notorious for pointing out (correctly) Reagan's big government deficit spending ways.

Paul has done it too
