The Official CNN/Tea Party Express Debate Discussion Thread

[redcommander]

the Tea Party is an insurgent, anti-establishment renegade

Ah, so the Tea Party is the Taliban of the United States.  Well, I feel much better.

[redcommander]

It's starting! Love the dramatic opening music lol.

[redcommander]

Romneys mic is on lol..he sounds so awkward greeting them. Did you hear him make the "muh" sound when he kissed Michelle. Also, anyone notice Paul refusing to shake Santorums hand lol..

Damn straight. Paul isn't going to take sh*t from Perry.

[redcommander]

My name is Rick Perry and I'm an alcoholic.

[redcommander]

OOOOO Perry's a flip flopper.

[redcommander]

Mitt, you lose. Again. Nice fake attack dog routine though.

P.S. - No one likes you.

Phil you should accept the fact that Perry would be the Republican Mondale if he were nominated and stop defending him.

[redcommander]

Romney hitting Perry hard as flip-flopper.

Ironic.

Perry won the exchange, in my opinion.

How? He didn't answer the attacks thrown at him. That isn't winning.

[redcommander]

Oh God John. Don't be funny. Or try to be funny.

I know. He actually sounded very good until he tried to make that reference.

[redcommander]

Suck it to Blitzer Santorum!

[redcommander]

Uh oh. Looks like Newt got criticized by Perry.

[redcommander]

Romney at least is willing to admit the whole cutting waste/fraud thing cant balance the budget

This debate's audience isn't interested in serious responses.

People at home are though.

[redcommander]

Romney at least is willing to admit the whole cutting waste/fraud thing cant balance the budget

This debate's audience isn't interested in serious responses.

which is why Perry seems to be winning this debate and will win the nomination.

It only just started. Don't let some drones in the audience think that they speak for the average Republican voter.

[redcommander]

Well, this is a tea party debate, so their interest in sane responses is even lower than usual.

I guess Romney should just scream one liners for the rest of the debate then, since that is what the audience wants.

[redcommander]

Perry is such a do*che.

[redcommander]

I wonder what Bachmann used to navigate the wilderness of Washington.

[redcommander]

Is 9-9-9 a pizza plan.

I like pizza.

I'm surprised Dominos hasn't sued Cain for ripping off their 5-5-5 deal.

[redcommander]

Ron Paul must be giddy right now with a fed question!

[redcommander]

So Romney and Huntsman sound reasonable but are getting no love from the audience?

[redcommander]

So Romney and Huntsman sound reasonable but are getting no love from the audience?

LOL REPUBS ARE UNREASONABLE! DUH!

Where have you been for the past four hundred pages?

Perry shouldn't deserve the respect he is getting from the audience. Santorum for your information is doing very well in my opinion and isn't getting much support either.

[redcommander]

Holy crap Rick Santorum is winning this debate.

[redcommander]

Perry's "I can't be bought for $5000 line" kind of implies there is a number where he can be bought

ROMNEY/OBAMA ATTACK AD IDEA AGAINST PERRY ALERT!!!!

[redcommander]

hahah, these teabaggers sure do love death.

Ironic since most claim to be pro-life.

[redcommander]

I feel bad for Bachmann. She's trying harder than anyone else up there, though she's doing more stumping rather than debating.

I think she kept herself alive with her confrontation against Perry for his lobbyist ties and mandate. She's done what she needed to do tonight, and that was regain some lost support from Perry.

[redcommander]

Finally some boos for Perry for his response on the border fence.

[redcommander]

LOL at some libs defending Perry for his immigration stance.
