[show]

Go NEWT ... International issues.

Hits it outta the Park !

[LUV W]

Out of the ballpark, MY!!

ROFL!!

[Vendome]

What are you talking about? /s

That guy is pretending to be something he is not. /s

[writer33]

The obvious truth is that we know that CNN is picking a candidate more than any other. And we all know who that candidate is.

[suijuris]

Romney seems a little too knowledgable on this issue. Like he knew it was coming.

[Biblebelter]

Gingrich wins Israel question hands down.

[Revolting cat!]

Oh boy, nobody’s trying to pander to the ten millions of votes from Palestinian-Americans.

[rodguy911]

Yes and now most of the time is gone with little if anything important ever discussed. We need FreeRepublic to sponsor a debate than we would get to issues!!!

[freemarketsfreeminds]

I guarantee that if there was a Republican pres and this was a Dem primary every question would be about unemployment, debt etc etc

[icwhatudo]

Newt even better than Mittens on Palestine.

“Imagine 12 missiles hitting you....would you want a peace process?”

Move embassy to Jerusalem.

[FastCoyote]

this is a streaming thread, not meant to address you personally

[angelcindy]

You know this guy was a plant....I’m sure that he just went there to ask a question about the palestine state.../S

[Irish Eyes]

A Palestinian/American Conservative Republican??!! WTF?

A Palestinian sympathizer planted in the audience.

[Artcore]

“Mittens good on Palestine question.”
______________________________________

No fan of Myth, but I agree. He really seemed to show real passion concerning the Jewish State and people.

[onyx]

Yes! And he’s nailing the Palie question.

Were the audience not stacked, Newt’s answer would have rocked the house!

[kjam22]

I still think we’ll have a gingrich/santorum ticket

[caww]

Do you have any doubt that cnn was working with the mitt campaign prior to this “debase?”

Oh absolutely they did...no doubt about it! In fact they probably got Romney his new debate coach cause they all new Romeny was falling.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Romney probably got the debate answers in advance. This smells like a days of our lives episode I saw yesterday

[topfile]

Newt’s doing ok but not exactly knocking it out of the park tonight.

Newt has a one mission tonight.....reach the Florida voter. He's doing that!

[writer33]

Yeah, but Santorum’s strong on both social issues and foreign policy.

[mylife]

More Hispandering!

[bray]

Any questions about Americans?

[glock rocks]

Way too obvious the audience is stacked.

The questions are stacked. Mitt's replies are stacked. This puerto rican is a plant.

[Cboldt]

-- Hits it outta the Park ! --

Yep - and the questioner claimed to be a "Palestinian," Newt put the monkey right on the Palestinians' back, where it belongs.

[Shortstop7]

Romney seems a little too knowledgable on this issue. Like he knew it was coming.

I have been wondering all night if he knows what questions are coming.... sure seems like it.

[Jane Long]

Don’t worry, Newt will win Florida!

From your keyboard to God's ear :)

[Leep]

There are more peurto ricans in the Us them Peuto Rico? Is that what she just said?

[Pravious]

Good Grief, ANOTHER special interest group question?!!!

Oh, well. At least we’re not spending 30 minutes on gay marriage.

[writer33]

Now don’t go all racial on us. LOL!

[AllAmericanGirl44]

No kidding! Ask the liar if he supports hamas/hezbella *sp

[reasonisfaith]

Yes it was.

[Raebie]

God I can’t wait until the primary moves to actual states within the US where we don’t have to pander to so many freakin foreign nationals.

[AliVeritas]

Hello Ms. PR, they want to stay commonwealth.

[StarFan]

No fan of Myth, but I agree. He really seemed to show real passion concerning the Jewish State and people.

Agree but the take away line was the one by Newt.

[The Citizen Soldier]

Romney’s answer on Israel was good. Newt’s answer was great ...with historical accuracy.

[crymeariver]

Mitt had his best debate tonight. He’ll make a fine President. Sorry...

[Biblebelter]

The woman says I am a Puerto Rican and I am bi-lingual

Mitt responds God Bless You, I’m a Mormon and I wear magic underwear.

[Free Vulcan]

Let hope we run the clock out on that one.

[angelcindy]

Are any of these foreigners claiming to be americans illegals??

[MissMagnolia]

Media is going to proclaim Romney the winner because of all the “Romney energy” in the debate hall from the stacked audience. He may win the battle on paper, but he’ll lose the war because he’s coming across SO smarmy, nasty, etc. Newt is solid - not sparkling (as we all wish he would be EVERY time) .... and I think that is going to be OK if he comes out of this not losing ground. He’s had to deal with another 48 hours of attacks, a stacked audience & in-the-bag for Romney moderator so under those circumstances, I think he’s doing well. Rick - best debate & left Romney bleeding on Romneycare - Romney’s snarky ‘angry’ remark is going to come back & bite him in the @ss. Ron Paul - humorous & almost charming tonight - he’s a funny little guy sometimes.

[bgill]

Big whoop, lady questioner (very poor bilingual), that the PR governor hasn’t been mentioned for VP. Looney tunes.

[mylife]

I'll be good. ☺

[rodguy911]

Now we are into that all important life or death issue of statehood for PUerto Rico.(while we are in debt up to our asses.)Mabye amnesty for all the puerto rican gangs?

[Jane Long]

Oh, well. At least we’re not spending 30 minutes on gay marriage.

Or contraception :)

[AnnGora]

Only question from a Caucasian was a whiney one.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Are you saying she did that wild thing, the backseat boogie...the horizontal bop?

[Kenny]

Your vote doesn't really matter.

Even if you believe that it would be better left unsaid. The only thing that can help American right now is a country willing to fight for their freedom and their future.

I believe my vote does still matter. More to the point, I think my opinions and support matter and I'm going to fight for this country with every fiber of my being.

[Red Steel]

That was an easy question for me. Romney likely...I don’t know.

[blaquebyrd]

It’s EMBARRASING! Is there a man with one nut on the stage?

[KansasGirl]

No, i think there is no way Santorum will endorse Romney. Not after tonight. I don’t think he likes him.
