I’m just going to be over here watching The Tudors. Last season. Holla if they start shooting each other!
You meant the wives huh?
For the shooting? Nope — the debaters! Demonstrating their commitment to the 2nd Amendment on live TV….
Where can I see this debate – is anybody still bothering to broadcast them?
ABC, Puck.
Santorum going after Romney (by name) right out of the gate. Romney defending his CEOishness.
Newt going after Romney on Bain. Newt asks: “Where people better off or worse off” after Mitt and Bain. Pow!
George Steph. asking Romney to validate his job creation claim and if he’s counting his losses in his #s. Mitt says yes. Hmmm…
Hunstman: Take a look at what “we” did as Governor for our states.
Romney under constant attack and we’re only 12 minutes in. Ouch
Santorum zings Paul.
Paul attacks Santorum – doing the job for Mitt.
Which makes Paul an idiot.
Perry finally gets a question!
Republican candidates are so stupid. Fighting amongst themselves instead of going after the frontrunner.
Onto Commander and Chief and National Security…
Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran?
Romney pivots away from the crazy people on the stage and focuses on Obama. He’s amazingly clueless about foreign policy.
Perhaps you should check in on me in an hour, DD?
Uh oh, comment jumping. My comment should be after DD’s.
I am watching the Lions-Saints game and following the debate on Twitter. I don’t know how people can watch it live. I would probably kill myself before long…
jaketapper: what’s the thinking in not “contrasting” with Romney? tick tock, my friends, tick tock.
Completely agree. These Non-Romney Republicans are horrible politicians
Hey Tea Partiers, start learning to love Romney. He’s gonna be your guy.
On to social issues – banning contraception.
Mitt can’t image it happening. Treating the question as ridiculous. Smart move.
Santorum stumbling. Avoiding the contraception issue
Here we go… gay marriage.
Huntsman supports civil unions, but not gay marriage.
Santorum’s turn on same sex adoption. Says it’s a state issue. He’s dodging.
I am so disappointed. Newt is all talk. I was promised action, damn it!
Newt scores applause with the “war on Christians” theme.
Perry gets asked a question, ignores it and switches to gays and the war on god. South Carolina here he comes!
Oh my. Perry says he’d send troops back to Iraq. Says we must stop Iran from moving back into Irag. WTF????
Pay attention to these guys (except Paul), voters. War with Iran is on their agenda.
Santorum is spoiling for war with Iran. These guys are nuts.
Fred Thompson is running on the Reverse Mortgage issue. I like how he is taking the high road.
There’s no shooting, no blood on the stage yet? C’mon!
Let me just say that ABC sucks.
I know. These guys sure hate govern,ent though.
Unchallenged? Like Mittens claiming that Adams wrote the Constitution?
I’m hating that this nonsense is all going unchallenged.
At the end of this debate everyone on that stage should just concede to Romney.
Nope.
Has anyone of these guys ever named one of the onerous regulations that are choking off business?
Nobody has laid a glove on mitt. Maybe they get that it is over.
Seriously? That’s it? I want my 1 hour and 43 minutes back! No jobs plan. No health care. No immigration. Thank god we spent all that time on condoms and diaphragms.
Awful. All of em.
