Wow. Just wow.
Any FReeper who listens to this clip, and still wants to whine about Newt being "against capitalism" is either stupid, dishonest, or a combination of the two.
so what is your point?
I’ve had clay pigeon before. Tastes like dirt. Hard as hell to clean. Tastes the same raw or well done. I don’t see why people like them so much. I guess Romney likes them cause they are French or something.
Go Newt!
Juan was being the devils advocate. If you get around to reading his book, you will understand better. Yes his question came from the “racist” stand point, but that doesn’t mean Juan agrees with it.
He like the comic duos of old, was playing the straight man to the Comic.....Only on a serious note. He was setting Newt up to deliver his line....If you fell for “Juan’s a racist line”, he did it masterly cause he is not. Juan advocate good male role models, marriage, get a job attitude in the black community. He lost his job at PBS cause he didn’t tote the liberal line.
Perfectly stated!!!
Personally, I couldn't give the proverbial rat's butt about his private life; he has the ideas and will attack the MSM while implementing them. That's a twofer when I look at it.
Rick Santorum: No way in Hell does he have any chance to win POTUS. People keep forgetting that he got CRUSHED in his Senate reelection bid to a candidate with the intellect and personality of a potted plant. Again, not just beat, but CRUSHED by 19%.
Rick Perry: If he had done as well as he did last night 4-5 months ago, he'd be atop the leader board. Too little, too late.
It's either Newt or Mittens at this point.
Willard has repeatedly said he “left” Bain in 1999.
The financial records shows numerous holdings in Bain AND an income from those holding of up to fifteen and a half MILLION dollars a year.
It all depends on what the meaning of “Left” is.
Also discovered is that Huntsman is Romney's cousin. His dad says he's known Mitt since he was a baby. There is also a very close financial tie between Bain and the Huntsman family fortune. (So what WAS happening in NH????)
Now do you understand why he is nervous about his financial records being revealed.....?
In time it will all come out. At the “Right” time.
Good tagline!
Put them on the stage, and it seems that the others are not in the same class as Newt.
I was troubled with Santorum’s attack on Gingrich over the individual retirement accounts coming out of those taxpayer’s own money that otherwise would go to Social Security.
By Santorum’s logic we could NEVER have individual retirement accounts unless people have to pay BOTH their SS amount and then add an additional payment to their own account.
The only way that is true, of course, is for Santorum to ACCEPT Social Security being part of the General Fund rather than being a set-aside as it was promised to the people.
And, Santorum buys into the logic that you have to “pay for a cut in taxes”...Obama’s logic. Newt was right on with his budget cuts idea. However, Santorum was just assuming that the budget we have and the entitlements we have will always be the case, and we can’t change it; it’s inevitable.
I like Santorum, but he seemed to be voting for the system as is.
Gingrich will win South Carolina, not win over Santorum.
He will win the state.
I’ve said before, they like Gingrich in SC.
Romney has a 50/50 shot to win by a few points due to traitor Nikki Haley swaying some who are not in tune to the election.
Either way, Gingrich comes out with Big Mo heading into Florida and those polls will turn on a dime.
It’s not about *liking* Newt, it’s about LOVING your country.
Ironically, the young and brash Santorum is offering status quo on Entitlements while Gingrich offers conservative “growth economy” solutions on Entitlements.
Fear from the puppy and tackling the problem head on...from Gingrich.
Well-written! Is that really a Brit, using words like softball?
Yes, conservatives ARE queasy at Romney. I get queasy by his cross-eyed look, phony smile, and fake comforting voice. I don’t know how I could stand 4 years.
Good summary.
Perry’s weak start has doomed him - too bad.
It would be a trial to listen to Santorum’s whining and excuses for four long years.
I think Juan went through the whole deck of race cards last night.

Excellent!
I agree about Perry - Hell, I donated to him.
Santorum would be perfect as UN Ambassador IMO. Maybe even AG. A 19% blowout leaves a bad smell. Granted, 2006 was an anti-GOP year, but, a 19% loss by an incumbent US Senator? That tells me the guy was hated.
Newt won. I wished I liked him.
But, it was a debate. Unquestionably, newt is the best DEBATER. If the candidates made creme brûlée each week before the election, Julia Child would win.
Santorum did very well. Newt did the loud, showy stuff, but the only person who had Romney on the ropes, stammering for his mama, was Santorum. Santy got in the knife.
I disagree. Newt is not the only one with fire in the belly. Santorum has it, and he’s also a capitalist conservative.
We need a leader who can stand up to all enemies, both from within and abroad. I'm not interested in having a saint in the WH. That level of naivete can be very dangerous.
Most of my relatives here still can’t stand Santorum. I’m the only one of the lot who liked him, and my remaining enthusiasm for him has cooled since his off-color remarks last night.
