Is this the Mitt show?

I wish they'd stop showing him. Whenever they do, I see his hair and worry that I haven't checked the oil in my car for a long time.

ps

very dull debate!

[Sarah Barracuda]

I am surprised Brian Williams(Who sucks on Obama’s nuts every chance he gets) didn’t say “Now Now, your not allowed to say anything negative about our messiah”

[rodguy911]

Sometimes Newt is a bit too honest.He is weak on immigration. He’s never been100% 80 at best. that being said he would make the best potus of anyone running and its not even close.

[writer33]

Yes, sir, it’s Santorum.

[pollywog]

Actually very impressed with Santorum tonight...

[AmericanInTokyo]

LOL!! That sounded so “Groucho Marx” to me. Milk through the nostrils time....

>>>Oh. Mark’s really going to do that? Or was Rush kidding?

Rush was laughing as he said it... but it is quite obvious that Steyn hates Newt. I’m not going to bother to listen.

Very small audience handpicked; no applauding allowed.

[Reagan69]

That already is the law. They can become citizens if they serve in the military. Has been that way for decades.

[Irish Eyes]

Romney finally mentioned the president and bad policies but interesting he would not mention the name obama.

Newt needs to get in and attack the current obama administration. Forget the back and forth with Romney.

This debate BLOWS!!!!!

I agree. Feel like I’m a kid sitting in some crabby person’s house and I’m not allowed to talk, or laugh, or make any noise.

we definitely should not allow illegal aliens to enlist if the gov't follows through on the proposed force reductions. Citizens who want to serve might not find slots, and we should accept no illegals under those circumstances, or any circumstances, IMO.

I worked for the Missile Defense Agency until last month, when my entire branch was eliminated in response to force reductions. 850 jobs eliminated across the agency. If I find out an illegal has been hired when we U.S. citizens were ushered out the door, I'm going to be really ticked.

Gingrich talks about sugar (cane vs beech?) subsidies and says it is very difficult to mess with agricultural subsidies....they are very well represented.

Romeny says we need to end subsidies (after Williams says Romney is being supported by Sugar subsidies...???)

LOLOLOL....then a commericial for Meet The PRess, David Gregory.
