I am equally sad for our party that think that Rick can’t. It does go both ways. As Rick said and this bears repeating, “Folks. We can’t afford to give this issue away.” (Obamacare.)

Oh come on.

Zero couldn’t snap a twig like a twig. He is nothing but a reader, moderately proficient in the measured delivery of empty platitudes, and consummately lacking in intelligence and vision.

It is very important that the Tea Party realize that Newt is the best hope for true reform in Washington and across America.

The best answers? He is a classic when it comes to telling people what they want to hear. No substance whatsoever. Mitt reminds me of the geeky know-it-all in class who always had to give the answers, and everybody would snicker and roll their eyes. GO NEWT!

He just brought up his "homeschooling" again and "local control" but his actual record reflects he took $72,000 from a local Pennsylvania school district to "homeschool" five of his kids while he and his family were living in D.C. While ruled legal, it's something that helped defeat him in 2006. Things like this leave a bitter taste, particular in a candidate who holds himself up as Mr. Clean

Okay, please stop repeating the local PA dem talking points about this issue. Rick Santorum OWNED A HOME AND PAYED LOCAL PROPERTY TAXES in that school district. Sheesh! When you have to resort to lies started by Dems to justify your attacks it makes it sound like you don't really have anything but your own personal bias.

I'm sure there are other legitimate issues to use, please concentrate on those and drop this.

Ugh...David Rodham Gerken said there’s a lot of activity by women on twitter tonight that these candidates are old fuddy duds who don’t understand women’s rights. Blahh. Time to turn off CNN.

Santorum was right that it was a favorable Romney crowd. The place was probably full of Mormons.

Theoretical question here, asked sincerely (in light of your comment:

If Santorum were to win Arizona and Michigan (by that I mean win the majority of delegates), become a clear frontrunner, then go on to win other states and eventually craft enough delegates to win the GOP nomination, would you support and vote for him, or would you support President Obama?

How sad for the voters..this is the last debate. A way to silence Newt with the voters. Santorum is not ready for prime time and came across as very weak.

Let's hope Newt wins Tenn and Georgia and more on super tues

Ron Paul should be the head of the TSA.

That would be a hoot.

That’s the point I keep trying to make, but to no avail (which is no surprise, really). He will get completely trounced by the liar-in-chief, regardless if he’s saying all the right things. That “go along to get along” is going to haunt him right off the campaign.

I cant believe Ari Fliesher! GWBs spokesman.
He sucked on the contraception thing.

It’s not about access Ari! Everyone has access!
It’s about the Feds telling Churchs what they must do under penalty of fines!
