agreed. He knew they’d be going after him with knives and poison darts tonight though.

I think it was expected for George to sink the knife in Newt and twist it.

Perry never mentioned Newt....he did point out that a vow before God carries more weight than a ‘handshake’ in Texas.....I liked his answer.

Soros did say he would “GET THEM” (Fox News) if they didn’t immediately yank Beck off the air.

SOROS WON...

True...and Fox hasn't been the same since they kowtowed.

Why these Republicans agree to debate on ABC and not with Trump is beyond me. Sawyer and Stephie’s bias is showing. Each of Sawyer’s questions is dripping with condescension against Republicans in her drunken tone and Stephie’s questions are designed to get the Candidates fighting with each other. Time for Newt to shine the light on Stephie’s and Sawyer’s stupid liberal questions.

Give them a rock and let them throw stones...since they are ALL without sin except for Newt. Disgusting

Stephanopoulos asking everyone else to answer the marital fidelity question first, leaving Gingrich for last. Not one has blasted him about Bill Clinton.

Perry hitting below the belt,IMHO. Indirectly hitting Newt with infidelity charges. All he accomplished is giving ammo to the other side.

He's not giving the other side anything; it's part of who Newt is and it's public knowledge. It will be discussed now and later, should Gingrich get the nomination.

Bachmann seems to be unable to control her mouth. She is so often wrong that I can’t even call them lies as she really believes what she says. But...she is a shrieking, nut who makes me grind my teeth every time I hear her speak.

YOU said it better than I could!

It’s kind of mean to attack Newt on the marriage thing.

Love to see the marital history of the reporters asking the questions. As if???

Love Perry’s answer though and he is rock solid on the marital fidelity thing.

The way that bill was crafted was to LOWER the costs to the taxpayer.

That is what the so called “mandate” was about
It got insurance to cover the bulk of the cost of the vaccine.

Paul’s answer was the best of all of the responses so far

I just turned it on to see that little left wing pansey ask Perry if he thought a man who dishonored his marrige vows deserves to be president. I think Perry is so stupid he didn’t even get the allusion to Gingrich. A Republican with any self respect and intelligence would have said “you mean like Bill Clinton”?

Then I turned it off.

Its ANOTHER circular firing squad with left-wing idiots like Stephanopoulous giving ammo to even more obtuse candidates.

I don’t get why these people agree to be manipulated inot looking like fools by A LEFTIST media panel. Only Gingrich can handle them.

Stephanopoulos is showing how much he doesn’t want Gingrich to be the candidate, so maybe this direct attack isn’t all that bad for Gingrich.
