2012 Republican Debate - Monday, January 23, 2012

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.

Yeah, let's not beat up on Florida. It is the prime southern state. However, you have to wonder what they are thinking asking these type of questions with an unemployment rate of 10% and a real unemployment rate of 18% in the state. Times are tough. People want to hear about the economy, not Terry Schiavo.

WILL WE GET THE CANDIDATES' TAKE ON THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR SOON?

Actually, the next question will be whether the Jacksonville Jaguars should relocate to Los Angeles, whether or not the Tampa Bay Bucs will ever rebound, and what the hell happened to the Miami Dolphins.

That would actually be a lot more entertaining than most of these questions.

Thank God we're back to CNN on Thursday. They at least know how to put on a show.

You do realize the real debates with Obama are going to be just like this, right (i.e., virtually no audience participation)?

I'm puzzled about why these NBC analysts are praising Gingrich for "staying above the fray."  When you're getting assailed, responding by saying something like "we'll have a rebuttal on our website tomorrow" is not a good answer.  

Yep. Gingrich cannot hide the fact that he's one of only two Republicans, Nixon being the other, to ever resign in disgrace from the position of the party's leader. And $1.6 million to be a historian? No historian gets paid that kind of money unless they're being paid to find the fountain of youth, and I am pretty sure Gingrich has not found that.

Newt Gingrich just stated that if he becomes president, he will make sure he resigns in disgrace just like he resigned from the House. He wants to out-Nixon Nixon.

Do you believe what you type?

Not always, but the fact remains that Newt Gingrich is one of only two Republicans in history to ever resign in disgrace from their position as the party's leader. Nixon was first, and Gingrich followed in his footsteps.

There is a reason why Obama and his supporters are laughing their heads off right now.
