2012 Republican Debate - Monday, January 23, 2012

[Keystone Phil]

Santorum makes sure to remind us that he is literally insane, by alleging that Jihadists are working with the government of Nicaragua.

Ahmadinejad being buddy-buddy with leftist leaders in Latin America must be a figment of our imaginations.  

[Negusa Nagast 🚀]

Paul is 100% on Cuba.

Yeah I think he was right on this one.

[Lief 🗽]

THE FIGHTING SEASON

what the f does that even mean

[Averroës Nix]

So it seems like Ron Paul has made a new friend tonight.

[Mehmentum]

Love Paul in this debate.  What would we do if someone blockaded the Gulf of Mexico?

[riceowl]

i want to punch santorum in the face every time paul talks about foreign policy.

[porker]

Gingrich is down 10 points on the Florida intrade market since the beginning of the debate. He's performing far below expectations.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Santorum and Iran. Let the war talk begin...

[Lief 🗽]

Meh, I doubt this debate is going to affect polling very much. It's just so boring.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Santorum is condemning a theocracy? If we invade theocracies, I say we attack the Vatican while were at it....

[anvi]

This woman, the local reporter, is asking great questions.  The candidates sound kind of dumb trying to answer them.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

The fact we are at 8 pages and halfway through the debate speaks leaps and bounds.

[Keystone Phil]

Santorum is condemning a theocracy? If we invade theocracies, I say we attack the Vatican while were at it....

Yeah, The Vatican - a real saber rattling, war mongering nation to be sure.

[Dereich]

The fact we are at 8 pages and halfway through the debate speaks leaps and bounds.

The questions being asked at this debate are some of the hardest hitting yet. We're all just too used to emotion based screaming matches.

[Thomas D]

Mitt's "Me too" thing seemed kind of weak.

[Lief 🗽]

So Mitt Romney's plan is to force illegal immigrants make the choice between starving to death on the streets or moving back home.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Might as well put this debate in Spanish subtitles, the questions seem to be from Univision, not NBC...

Santorum is condemning a theocracy? If we invade theocracies, I say we attack the Vatican while were at it....

Yeah, The Vatican - a real saber rattling, war mongering nation to be sure.

Do you yourself support war against Iran, Phil? I don't think I know your personal views on the subjects as well as other members.

[Keystone Phil]

LOVIN' THE BEET SUGAR

[Lief 🗽]

Newt Gingrich is SO EXCITED about beet sugar.

Sometimes his inner super-nerd comes out, and it's adorable.

[Thomas D]

I thought Mitt said the economy was getting better?

[Lief 🗽]

God, Romney's rehearsed and memorized anti-Obama speech is sooooo boring at this point.

[Keystone Phil]

Do you yourself support war against Iran, Phil? I don't think I know your personal views on the subjects as well as other members.

I support Santorum's position/the sane, responsible position. No, I'm not calling for war or air strikes now but should the option be on the table? Yes. I don't subscribe to this silly worldview of "Well, we had two wars in the past decade so let's just take a break for awhile. No matter what."

[Politico]

So Mitt Romney's plan is to force illegal immigrants make the choice between starving to death on the streets or moving back home.

If those illegal immigrants have family members who are legal immigrants and/or citizens, those family members can take care of them and eventually sponsor them.

The American people, including many immigrants, are fed up with the ILLEGAL immigration problem. Romney is pro-immigration, anti-illegal-immigration.

[Mehmentum]

Stop repeating yourself Mitt.

[Marokai Backbeat]

WTF ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TERRI SCHIAVO FOR.
