Diane’s sounding pretty crocked tonite.
Gingrich - individual boards to review illegals cases.
Volunteer boards or paid? If paid, that is another level of bureaucracy.
Gingrich says 25 years, then hedged on that number.
Sawyer asks about 15 years and some 3.5 million illegals, and Gingrich hedges and says that isn’t his number.
Gingrich gives a lot of politico-speak on the subject.
Diane sounds like the G-Man from Half-Life, randomly slowing down certain syllables.
Romney says any program that legalizes illegals becomes a magnet for the next wave of incoming illegals.
Romney say: No preferences for any illegals.
Round 6 :
Illegal Immigration:
Gingrich: good answer
Diane Sawyer answers over several paragraphs from Romney.
Apparently he need not speak at all to win this from ABC.
Romney ignores his Sanctuary Mansions and his personal
history of inviting illegals in with the incentive of RomneyCARE, etc.
Romney lies and Ms. Sawyer has no interest in correcting him again.
Sawyer gives Romney more time, and tries to explain more for him.
This debate is a absolute biased JOKE.
Foreign Policy
George Stephanopoulos goes after Gingrich regarding the invented Palestinians,
and calls Ron Paul for obvious reasons.
George Stephanopoulos goes after Gingrich directly,
Gingrich defends Israel strongly.
"Someone must have the courage to speak the truth."
HOME RUN.
Romney then defends the Palestinians.
Why is Romney allowed to give 5 min answeres??
Romney — we aren't going to use incendiary words to inflame others.
Missed part of the debate, but got to hear the liberal moderator piddle around with the illegal alien question. I wish a Candidate had corrected the term undocumented with illegal alien.
I swear I hear a cuckoo clock going off.
Oh wait, Ron Paul is speaking.
Newt pulls no punches on the Palestinians.
Gingrich cites Reagan and claims to be a Reaganite.
I guess the Era of Reagan is not really over, then. At least not when it is convenient to use Reagan’s name for political gain.
Foreign Policy
Romney continues to defend the Palestinians.
Speaker Gingrich points out the importance of speaking the truth.
Romney can only lie and he points to this and that
such as how he knew Bibi. Romney is caught in web.
By contrast, the Speaker can tell the truth.
Michele Bachmann speaks well about this.
Flip flopper Rick Santorum, defending Romney, not so much.
HOME RUN, Mr. Speaker.
Perry turns out to be the adult on the Pali question —
It is the media making a mountain out of a mole hill.
He refers to Obama’s muddled foreign policy.
Ratings So Far
Moderators: Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos -
absolutely no critical followup; swooning with love and
obviously on their knees for Mitt Romney
Very protective of Obama. When he is mentioned they
bring it back to Gingrich.
Candidates: Newt Gingrich Eloquent - The Clear Truthful Winner
Rick Perry Michele Bachmann 2nd Place Winners
Mitt Romney Childish, “Ten thousand bucks”.
Forever has the heart of ABC and the MSM.
Lies continuously, and lies are condoned by ABC.
I lean to Gingrich. He is head and shoulders above the others on knowledge of the issues. His position on capital gains tax slashing is pure Reaganite, and spot on. Having said that, Rick Perry has distinguished himself very well. Romney better look over his shoulder - Perry is gaining on him. Perry was very good in taking this Palestine issue on redirecting the heat to Obama where it belongs. Newt was not only appreciative, but impressed. Good thinking on your feet, Rick.
We could do a lot worse than Gingrich / Perry.

FINAL DEBATE WINNER
Newt Gingrich Most Eloquent. Most Truthful - First Place Winner
Rick Perry 2nd Place Winner - Came through at the end.
Mitt Romney Most Egotistical. Disingenuous.
Childish, “Ten thousand bucks”.
ABC now sticking in their opinion. Who cares about a joke about a bet?#IowaDebate
Holy crap. I can’t believe I’m going to defend Romney.
BUT....all these idiots on TV are talking about Romney’s $10,000 bet offer. I’d forgotten all about it. Big freaking deal.
