It forgot to mention that Newt is married to Calista.
I think she missed the boat.
Hey, you forgot to mention that Buddy Roemer wasn’t invited!
Even “Fred Karger” (?) got the dignity of being in the also ran but not invited!
Poor Buddy!

I’ve got a qestion that I’m pretty dang sure won’t be asked: Where do the candidates stand on future US taxpayer-funded bailouts of Europe? I’d bloody well like to know the answer.
Can the debate be viewed on the internet anywhere? We don’t get MSNBC.
Huntsman and Paul should also be disinvited. Sorry, but it is the truth. :)
Chrisy Matthews will be in a tingle-free zone.
I heard Nancy invited Sarah there to watch over the festivities. LOL or is that loom
heresy!
Paul needs to get his head back between the stirrups and stop wasting every ones time.
you got that right. Buddy Roemer is doing to do far better in this race than huntsman.
Yes. Click the source link. That's where MSNBC claims they'll post the live internet stream.
Why should they be disinvited?
What I want to hear discussed, is what each candidate will do to put an end to the islamiztion of America.
I’m pretty sure we will go through the whole campaign without hearing this issue addressed in any detail if at all.
In my estimation, it is the number one, most threatening problem facing America, now and far into the future.
Mark for later.

Mark for later.
bkmk
Will be back at 8. Not sure how I, or my TV, will feel about having PMSNBC on!
FoxNews will probably stream it, since they are hosting it.
check!
Why don’t you get the articles link changed
Does anyone know who the hosts/People asking questions are?
Who will be the next person to drop out after this debate?
My guess would be Newt or Huntsman.
Wrong debate.
The FoxNews/Google debate is scheduled for Sept 22.

For one thing, Paul is not a Republican. He’s a Libertarian.
Or has he flip-flopped back? In any event, I have greater respect for Newt or Mitt than I do that Lib.
As for Hunstman? Whatever. Let him have his 15 minutes. What can it hurt?
(Bachmann, Cain, Gingrich, Ron Paul & Romney)
Palin was invited, did not attend. Perry canceled to deal with a wildfire emergency in Texas.
Why? Your link is not to MSNBC, it's somewhere else entirely.
I used the location where MSNBC will post its live stream. That's what I did for the Fox debate too and maybe the one before that.
This is not my first debate live thread.
With about four exceptions, this entire field is one heckuva lot stronger and better for America’s future than the dodgy GOP field of 2007/2008.
He is a Libertarian but he is registered as a Republican for purposes of suckling at the gubment teet in a very un-Libertarian manor.
ROFL — in before the scrub! :-)
Target rich environment for the LSM punditocracy and
our own snipers from the circular firing squad.
Who will gaffe themselves out of the race first?
Paul and Huntsman need to drop out. They don’t have a chance. And probably likewise for Santorum.
Okay calm down sorry to interrupt your job.Just don’t yell at people like that lady in all the hurricane threads does when someone else posts a picture. :)That link with morning Joe made me sick and I am queasy about to have surgery, so sorry.
Eager to see debate, but hate the idea of having to listen to the pompous, idiotic libtard Brian Williams, who is the moderator. No doubt the questions will be absolutely ridiculous. Hoping one of the candidates ridicules Williams for his bias and liberal ignorance.
Have to add some levity to the proceedings...
The latest toy has hit the shops... a talking Muslim doll. Nobody knows what it says because no one has the guts to pull the cord.
They’re going to ask Perry about evolution and make him look like a bible-thumping “Neanderthal”. Happens every time the libs get to moderate these debates.
I’ll be drinking a shot every time someone says “ObamaCare”.
Who’s with me??
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.
If only. More likely, the debate format will include the host and panel wearing hand puppets that will ask questions like:
Do you believe the Bible is the literal Word of God? If so, can you explain how a man can live for three days in a whale's stomach?
Do you believe that a 12-year-old girl who is pregnant as the result of incest should be put in jail for terminating her pregnancy?
Do you prefer coke, or pepsi?
When did you quit beating your wife (or husband)?
Do you believe homosexuality is a mental disorder? If so, should homosexuals be involuntarily committed and administered electroshock therapy?
It very hot (95F) and I'm exhausted.
I agree on Morning Joe. I hope the surgery goes well.
Rubio’s got to be the VP choice, no matter who’s at the top of the ticket.
