Regardless of what anyone thinks of Romney, he handled that absurd situation beautifully. The left wants to frame the discussion and make ridiculous things stick simply because they continue to harp on them. Unfortunately, for a large swath of the public, this is an effective way to paint conservatives badly.

Stuffingenvelopes is a little twerp that appealed only to reprobates like Billy Goat Clinton. He is an obnoxious little twit!

What goes on in the public debates is just feed material for blogs, “news” items, mentions by DJs on radio, and so forth.

The pervasive immersive chanting can be more effective in changing people’s minds.

Consider the effectiveness of the constant mutter of “it’s Bush’s Fault” that was a constant factor on almost all media when he was President.

Stefi probably had instructions to hammer the point because other people had plans for the resulting material, no matter how stupid it seemed at the time.

Stephanupagus was trying to set Romney up.

He had quotes from Romney on both sides of that issue, so whichever way Mitt responded, he was going to jump on him with his opposite

But Stephie was too ham-handed in the attempt, bringing up an issue of such stunning irrelevance Romney was unable to fathom why he would ask something so ridiculous, and so didn't jump on the bait.

Steffie would not have asked that of Newt; . . .you know, the candidate they fear the least. He did throw it at Mitt; whom he no doubt; thought he could have some fun with It essentially backfired. Such ignorance that passes for 'elitism'. Enough for Libs to drown themselves in; which they unfortunately; only come close to.

Meantime; for years now; the Lincoln-Douglas has been held as a standard. And for all that; nothing has changed. We seemed doomed to suffer the insufferable. . .

I thought Romney did very well with the question too. Newt also does a nice job of making a fool out of the clowns running these “debates”.

Just say NO!

The GOP hardly needed MSNBC to host a debate. Putting candidates through that impresses NO ONE and just delights leftists. There have been way too many debates already and we're just covering the same ground over and over again. Those who want more and more debates are usually those whose candidates are failing and want something/anything to stick to the front-runners. I didn't learn a single new thing in last weekend's debates.

The public quickly grew sick and tired of seeing Obama's ugly mug on their televisions every day. Are we going to wear out all the GOP candidates too? We're well on our way.

There is one topic that if either party brings it up, he will be deemed a fool: contraceptives.

We saw how that worked out for Anthony Comstock.

Chris Wallace was getting on my nerves during the Fox debate. Most of these moderators seem like they think they need to show off their intelligence in the way they craft the question, and the questions become unnecessarily long.

I’m sure the WH sent Steffie a new pair of” Alice in Wonderland” knee pads!

Steffy was trying to marginalize Rick Santorum by using Romney. When Santorum objected loudly to the premise of the question, Steffy, lifted his finger to stop him saying, “I know, I know, just a minute...” Rick didn’t need to respond because Romney, to his credit, didn’t take the bait and turned it back on Steffy.

It was so ridiculous.

I think our PrezBO needs to appoint Diane Sawyer as the permanent Repuplican Dabate moderator as a recess appointment.
She can ask all the questions in that slow creepy soft squishy voice that sounds like she drank a bottle of wine and took several narcotic pills just before appearing on the stage.
She alone could gently sway those dumb angry right-wingers into accepting gay marriage by her cleverly worded questons.

The question for me is, "Why in hell do Americans and especially, conservatives allow debates which are actually forums for republican candidates to be moderated by partisan liberals?"

Democrats would never allow themselves to be examined on national TV by someone like Mark Levin or Ann Coulter. I'd like to see Obama and Hillary sit for some real questions from Walter Williams and Mark Steyn.

“He is an obnoxious little twit!”

And I hope he has a large supply of condom contraceptives available because he’s proven himself to be a huge dick.
