Official Fox News/Iowa GOP Debate Thread

[Dereich]

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

[Dereich]

Mitt Romney should narrate audio books.

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

[Dereich]

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

[Dereich]

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

[Dereich]

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

[Dereich]

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

[Dereich]

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

[Dereich]

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

[Dereich]

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

[Dereich]

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

[Dereich]

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