Watch the preview for the rules and a little insight about the questions and the questioners.

Short commercial ad first.

Six candidates are participating.

Eddie Haskell Hunstman has declined the invitation.

Herman Cain suspended his campaign today and will not participate.

Newt always speaks with an “out”

He refuses to commit.

[Kaslin]

I do too. They are much better then the debates

[Quicksilver]

Yes, Santorum strikes me as a bit overbearing.

[llandres]

Sorry - did you mean what’s bfl? It means bookmark for later :-)

[GoldwaterChick]

I’m with you, not2worry. Let me know where that support group can be found! Are you English, by any chance? I had a dear friend who always used that expression.

Really enjoying the forum without the snarky moderators whose only interest is in getting the participants to attack each other.

Thank you Onyx for starting this thresd!

Santorum - he’s in his 50’s but his demeanor is like a kid in the 6th grade raising his hand hoping that the teacher calls on him so he can prove he’s really smart, right before he goes home and drinks the Ovaltine his Mom made for him.

Not that there’s anything wrong with Ovaltine.

Perry understands who the players are and he would replace them on day one.

[writer33]

I hope he’s hard on everybody.

[Lady Lucky]

Santorum endorsed Arlen Specter. Go figure.

[mylife]

Ahh..

[Kaslin]

It is not a debate, it’s a forum. One by one will be allowed to talk. Newt was the first one

[onyx]

Santorum has given details about what he would do as President.
Newt gave generalities.

LOL. We're watching different debates. Newt named 3 departments he would seriously dilute or eliminate and secondly, Newt might very well be POTUS, but Santorum won't.

[Jim Robinson]

But he just blew the constitutionality of executive order big time.

[lonevoice]

Gov Perry, OMGWTFBBQ? He’s asked about the authority of an EO to stop the implementation of Ocommiecare, and he goes on a riff about domestic energy production? Save a pretzel for the gas jets.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Ah shucks. Lord willing I guess he would try.

[glock rocks]

Weird, huh. NRA gave her an A rating too.

[acapesket]

I like Santorum, he’s a good guy. They only have 11 minutes and he wants to get his talking points accross.
Haven’t we already learned what happens when you vote for “charisma”?
What ? Are we now voting for DWTS or the Kardashians?

[Raebie]

I like Perry. There’s just something about him that I find hard to take seriously.

[mylife]

Amen to right to work states.

[writer33]

Perry’s better than Gingrich.
