Santorum opposes gold standard. Said Fed needs auditing. Dings Paul & Bachmann for lack of leadership on the debt ceiling debate and lack of balanced budget. Says debt ceiling had to be raised to say otherwise is “showmanship not leadership.”

Unbelievable question about Bachman submitting to husband, what a jerk. These questions are idiocy.

Why is grandpa nutbag answering all the questions?

Sarah is not in the debate...her loss.
Not at all. Let them tear each other open. It's far too early ..

A big +1 to that, GR.

Sarah's a very smart lady and has smart people helping her.
I believe the only reason she's not in it yet is because she and her team don't want her to be in it yet.

And why not ?
The traitor scum squatting in 1600 makes a more flagrant marxist ass of himself by the hour.
Tonight's debate is a great example of the GOP herd thinning itself out by attrition.

Sarah has kept herself firmly in the public eye with either appearances or timely/relevant essays weekly, and will continue to do so.
Her conservative position and record is established fact, and her star power grows hourly.

I'm no political operative or junky, and maybe there's minutia involved that would mandate an earlier date.
But I wouldn't mind if she waited till the first of the year, if that's what her team thinks is wise.
They're no fools, and they know they're working for the next President of the United States, imho.

Not sure I agree with you on Santorum. He may not be a player but his answers were all spot on imo.

I know what you mean about the baggage and the history. It’s a shame.

A Newt/Obama debate would be the closest to a Cheney/Obama debate we would ever see.

Obama would have no chance in a debate against Newt.

My recent dislike and distrust of Fox News has been glaringly validated tonight.

You’re one segment. I know Tea Party people who are sick of the wars.
