OMG

I have a mutual fund that probably invests in both FM & FM. My total mutual fund holding is worth about $7k — due to Obama/Bush economy.

Why are we still talking about Fannie May and Freddie Mac? C’mon, lets get to some real issues.

Why does Romney get to talk so much more than Newt?

Romney owns shares in Fannie and Freddie, and Goldman Sachs. How much has he made on foreclosures? Woooeeee.

Romney: "My investments are in a blind trust. You also have mutual funds that invest in Fannie and Freddie."

Advantage Romney.

This sucks. Come on Newt! Romney has spent a lot of time rehearsing his attacks on Newt.

Newt: "You don't know what ads you're running. YOu're quick to draw the widest conclusions. The only time I spoke to congressman about Fannie and Freddie was to tell them to vote no."

Lynch mob? What? Perry’s problem was he couldn’t convince enough people he could win to continue funding his campaign!

Perry was attacked relentlessly on the boards,on Twitter, by the news and commentators. One guess who helped the public's perception that he was stupid or incompetent?

It was a lynch mob pure and simple. The few rowdy cowboys calling for his head and firing up the crowd. One of the saddest things I've seen, especially when you look at what we lost and what we're left with.

I wonder, just who is the debate for? Surely not conservatives, I’d say it’s for the CNN audience of idiots. This is painful to watch, 2 kids bickering and accomplishing a damn thing!!

Romney is starting to look dark and evil with his attacks. Newt wins by turning to policy from smears. Newts first win of the night.

Newt: Romney owns shares in FM!
Romney: my investments are not made by me...blind trust...you also have investments, Mr. Speaker [crowd cheers]...my trustee LOANED money to FM and FM, but the speaker...was clearly promoting them...

This one’s a draw. Wolf asks Paul, who says he doesn’t care, FM should have been auctioned off [??]

“I will never vote for this pompous, arrogant asshole.”

Me, either. The last two debates have taught me that much.
