GOP Debate
(Excerpt) Read more at live.foxnews.com ...
Question count:
Mitt - 15
Paul - 13
Santorum - 11
Newt - 4
Perry - 3
Swell. I guess I should be prepared for questions about soft drink preferences and positions on what the candidates favorite episode of Glee is from the FOX moderators. I swear, if they don’t come out of the gate asking relevant questions, I am shutting it off.

My predictions:
1) Ron Paul has another “WTF” moment
2) Romney gets 2x as much time as everyone else, with the opportunity to respond to everything
3) The Santorum vs Newt feud gets intensified
4) Nobody notices that Huntsman isn’t there
Should be good.
Time is short and the candidates are p*ssed off at each other.
I was looking for this. Most of the polls of South Carolina don’t include the undecided and/or the likely primary voters. The media will call it for Romney and Gingrich, who can buy the most of their ads/hire their PR experts.
Referencing #2 in your list....every debate I’ve seen, that’s how they ask the question. Loaded questions so that Slick Willard gets an additional 1/2 to ramble on about his imaginary record of accomplishments.
Why is FOX hosting a debate?
They're already in the sack for Romney anyway.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Its a legal way of giving him free airtime under the guide of news.

When they talk about him they actually wet their pants and get aroused.
I’ve noticed this more and more as “Da Boy” gets closer and closer to stealing the nomination...just as it was planned 3 years ago.
That better not happen - Newt is polling #2 so he should be next to Mittens and get a good dose of questions. I think Perry pulls the plug after SC and backs Newt. No way does he endorse Mittens. No more time wasted on Huntsman, so that ought to make it better. I will begrudgingly vote for Mittens if he locks up the nomination simply because my abject hatred for Obama runs that deep.
That’s what happened that last two debates... Why should tonight be any different? Conventional wisdom - Newt shines in debates. Can’t allow him that opportunity.
Comic Relief Moment:
On the Betty White Special, Obama writes the following letter in the Oval Office:
Dear Betty,
Congrats on reaching you’re 90th Birthday. I can’t believe you’re 90. In fact I don’t believe it. I’m requesting you send me a copy of your long-form birth certificate to verify. Thanks.
Barrack
(I thought that was pretty funny).
Okay BTTT
FOX announced there would be two topics tonight that had never been covered. Any ideas what they could be. (Keep it clean)
Demint on O’ Reilly is saying Mitt’s about got this thing. (unless he messes up at the debate)
I wonder how long the GOP has been a soft Liberal party. I believe Reagan stole the party back from the Liberals ("moderates") in 1980. Eisenhower allowed taxes and government to grow crazily in the 50's. How far back do you have to go? I think sometime in the late 1800's/early 1900's, America found itself without a political party that would put America and its Christian, traditional values first. I think ever since then the GOP has put its own interests and political perpetuation ahead of what's best for America.
The country has withstood an amazingly long period of time without sustained organizational and institutional support. May God Himself continue to bless and uphold America against her enemies, within and without, until He returns for His own.
I hope he chokes on his arrogance.
It sure is hard to watch FOX. They are very bias.
Beats me? I don’t have a clue.. just so long as we are able to communicate and watch is my major concern. GOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEWT!
hopefully one of the topics is Romney wacky Mormon faith
Fox News final push for Romney before Saturdays vote.
To objectively look at this man’s record and still contend that he is worthy of any veneration, one must be sufficiently indoctrinated into his cult of personality. It would be one thing if we didn’t have a choice but apart from that there is no excuse whatsoever.
As for the issue of Romney’s experience at Bain Capital, this is a media side-show that they are using to circumvent Romney’s undeniable record on Obamneycare, abortion, gay marriage and the second amendment, all of which are clearly opposed to our core values.
Anyone who views this video can see that Romney is the quintessential type of imposter who has bamboozled Republicans for decades leading to the imminent destruction we now face.
Just ask yourself, do I have the integrity to look at the clear evidence - ALL DIRECTLY FROM ROMNEY’S OWN MOUTH - that this guy is a political fraud?
Do I have the integrity to vote what I know is right or will I again vote - once again - for the very type of imposter that has destroyed the GOP since the post-Reagan era?
This is the conservative’s last stand. See the video of Obama’s mentor from Massachusetts and ask yourself if your dignity is worth the compromise: http://www.TableOfWisdom.com
Arkansas Ping!
I, for one, miss Josh Huttsman.
This has not even started:
Romney 15 delegates
Paul 9 Delegates
Santorum 6 Delegates
Gingrich 4 delegates
Perry 3 delegates
1,144 delegates to take the nomination.
This is not over unless everyone simply quits.
If starting a third party wasn’t such a pain in the ass.... really who does the GOP represent? Us on FR? Nope. Not a one of them does. I used to think Sarah Palin might, but lately she has just gone starry-eyed. As painful as it is certain to be - the gas prices of the summer of $5/gal will ensure Obama’s doom. She could’ve been catapulted to the top easily with her commonsense energy policies. Romney, Newt, Santorum, and Paul aren’t capable in that arena. Perry is, but he will be done in a week or so. Too bad, because he has been a decent Governor. Romney, should he win the nomination, will need the fuel prices as he is neutered on Obamacare.
“I was following another LIVE debate thread that suddenly got moved to the “bloggers & personal” forum. How weird is that?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2833700/posts?q=1&;page=1 “
Sorry, I did not see it, feel free to ask mods to switch threads...
There will be one question tonight on Mitt,I mean Fox News What do you like most about Willard Romney. You each have 30 minutes.
One thread please.
Demint, too, now.
Hear me, Republicans. I will NEVER vote for Romney. NEVER.
I believe there are some more delegates elected but are not “committed”. Although it’s not that much. Any pundit who says it’s decided after South Carolina or even Florida is lying.
All Newt has to do is keep it close... going into FL... if he loses that then he has decreased the field to just him and ROmney then the race starts.
I can’t believe that the race is over... when 95% of the voters havne’nt voted yet.
Good post....
This might play well for Newt because the polls are showing him 20 or more points down.. so if he makes it close he wins!!!!!

Dear Lord... not ranting ron again....how much can a person take...lolol
“Oh God how many times will we hear that Willard worked in the private sector...aaaaaaaaaaaaagghhgh”

Santorum 6 Delegates
Now what happened here? I thought there was some controversy over who won in Iowa.
