Libertas: Willard - mY record is out there and I am proud of it (huge cheers, lot of MItt supporters in the audience it appears)
Libertas: Perry - He 7 gNewt releasing taxes, Mitt ought to do the same (good applause there too, good contingent of Perry backers in the audience too)

Libertas: Combinie that with skeet and it could be fun!
John Florida: I thought Newt did a good job slapping him around.
trapeze: Anybody see the Kyocera ad with the Ben Stein lookalike?
Libertas: Trap is right though, all should be shoving back in his face, a united front against his baiting, the crowd would eat it up
trapeze: They fired Ben Stein because they didn't like his politics and then got a clone to do the ads

Charles Oakwood: Obama's VP
Libertas: Willard will bite them to death with those pearly whites!
Charles Oakwood: Mormons used to be tough
trapeze: yeah they used to slaughter people
Libertas: Perry needs to apologize for Paul on behalf of Texas! I'd buy that for a dollar!
IronDioPriest: I haven't heard Santorum or Preey speak yet
Libertas: Afghanization will fail like Vietnamization failed, it is merely a ruse to run away

Charles Oakwood: Paul's an idiot

Libertas: Yeah, head-cutting murderous cultists are often misunderstood...NOT!
Libertas: I wanna hear who is bring water-baording back!
IronDioPriest: Not good Romney
IronDioPriest: the NDAA is unconstitutional you dick
Libertas: Oh My God! He's delusional!
Charles Oakwood: Trust me
trapeze: is Romney nuts?
Libertas: YES!
IronDioPriest: "I won't abuse my power"
Charles Oakwood: Party man yeah GOP
trapeze: Did he say that he didn't think that Obama would abuse the NDAA?

IronDioPriest: We need Perry or Santorum to win SC
trapeze: agreed
trapeze:
Libertas: 4 days is a good run IDP!
IronDioPriest: My mind was clouded by hopelessness
trapeze: I just wish that Perry hadn't gone Newt's route with criticizing capitalism
Libertas: Perry has to make gains in the south to have a chance
Charles Oakwood: Paul running through the GOP with a monkey wrench is a fun vision
Libertas: Slammin' Turbo Timmy! Woo Hoo!

Charles Oakwood: Send them back to Indonesia
Charles Oakwood: Foreclosure?
Libertas: Living under laws passed, Amen, Perry!
IronDioPriest: so who's the hot brunette?

Libertas: Hey, that's myn future Mrs buddy!

-
And, oh boy, here comes the post debate spin with Hannity in charge of it all.
And he starts with fat turd Luntz.
-
Luntz is there telling
-
Luntz claims that Gingrich (?) won the debate.
-
In so many words.
-
Since IDP asked...
Kelly Evans, WSJ -
http://activitypit.ning.com/group/kelly?xg_source=activity (http://activitypit.ning.com/group/kelly?xg_source=activity)
-
What I did see of Gingrich was very good. Too bad he's Gingrich,
-
Luntz...
::facepalm::

Zipper pole Poll
Thank you, we have already counted your vote.
Newt Gingrich 51.48% (122 votes)
Rick Perry 12.66% (30 votes)
Rick Santorum 16.03% (38 votes)
Mitt Romney 16.88% (40 votes)
Ron Paul 2.95% (7 votes)
Total Votes: 237
-
I would say that instead of a winner there was one very clear loser and that was Paul. Although, Romney did show weakness tonight...not his strongest showing by any means.
-
This is the 3rd or so of y'all's running commentary and, I have to say, you guys are hysterically funny, read in retrospect.
JF had to fortify himself with more lentils. ::rolllaughing::
-
I was watching Hannity interviewing Romney post debate...
Either Hannity is spineless and witless (certainly a distinct possibility) or there is some "understanding" that if the candidate (in this case, Romney) ignores and/or dodges your pointed question then you inexplicably accept whatever yakking comes out of their mouth.
Hannity's first question was sort of about why Romney won't call Obongo a socialist. Romney almost totally ignored the question by saying that Obango wants the US to become more like Europe even as Europe is trying (evidence?) to become more like the US. Hannity nods like a ventriloquist dummy and moves on to the next question on his little card as if Romney had uttered some timeless truth.
What a shameless ass-kisser.
-
Hannity interviewing Gingrich...
Zero questions about Newt's anti-capitalism clap trap attack on Romney. Just a bunch of regurgitation of Newt's talking points.
Another triumphant interview. Thanks, Sean.
-
Hannity interviewing Santorum...
Starts out asking about his endorsement from the evangelicals. Santorum spins it, of course. Big whoop. Yesterday's news. If Hannity wanted to make news he could talk about Santorum probably winning the Iowa caucuses after the official vote count is certified. But, noooo. Santorum has to make that point himself and Hannity acts like he's clueless which he probably is. What a dope.
-
Then Hannity interviews....Juan Williams?
W
T
F
?
Juan shouldn't have even been there. Why he is giving him more time to embarrass himself is beyond understanding.
-
Then Hannity interviews Dick Morris. Which begs the question: Where is Perry and Paul? Are they too busy to be bothered with Hannity?
I don't like Dick Morris but I prefer his analysis to that of Luntz. That's not saying much, though. Morris has a habit of making wild, stupid ass predictions (remember his Condi versus Hillary book?) and he is now saying that Gingrich might win SC. That's a bit of a stretch.
And that (unbelievably) rounded out Sean's pathetic post debate interviews.
Well, at least it wasn't O'Reilly. Ted Baxter would have been telling the candidates what they needed to think and say.

Hannity has a free charter membership to the Club
and no green fee on Mondays and Wednesdays.

I still don't know what to think. All five articulate a conservative philosophy, but I want one who sounds like he means it and looks like a leader. Someone who could actually git 'er done. Gingrich. Gingrich and Perry are persuasive on that score. I suppose Santorum is sincere, but I'm afraid he'd bust a blood vessel in his head before he got very far in office. I admire Ron Paul. He has a tendency to babble when hit with a tough question, but he's a hero. He's completely fearless, awesomely consistent, and is willing to persevere to the edge of doom in telling the country it's gone off the Constitutional tracks. I think he means to educate, and to shift the public debate rather than go all out for the presidency. As he said, actually being president is "a risk I run." And I think he's shifted the country's head a degree or two on the matter of government overreach. Still, I want somebody else to actually rein in the runaway horse - Gingrich. Or Perry.
So here we are - can't coalesce around an ABR candidate because of the embarrassment of riches. What irony.
-
Santorum is sincere, but I'm afraid he'd bust a blood vessel in his head before he got very far in office.
Yeah, he's got high anxiety.
I admire Ron Paul. ... I think he means to educate, and to shift the public debate rather than go all out for the presidency.
Heard that interview and he was quite candid. He has brought an accurate perspective and understanding of our money and debt to more people than ever before. It'd be good of our
new president to put him in charge of deconstructing the Fed.

I don't understand why the poll numbers for Perry won't move. He seemed pretty good to me last night. Other candidates seem to get a bounce from a good showing in the debate, but not Perry.

It's almost as if the fix is in, eh?!
Either I am spot on with Machiavellian types pulling strings...like The Butthead...
Or...
Where's my hat?

GOP and MSM are loath for him to be candidate. Past two weeks media coverage
gives him none to little air time. The previous debate he said he would sent troops
back to Iraq and the response was dead air. That's the pudding.
On the other hand:
Who won the debate? (http://weaselzippers.us/2012/01/16/live-thread-fox-newswall-street-journal-gop-presidential-debate/)
Newt Gingrich 62.52% (1,056 votes)
Rick Perry 9.47% (160 votes)
Rick Santorum 10.01% (169 votes)
Mitt Romney 12.14% (205 votes)
Ron Paul 5.86% (99 votes)
Total Votes: 1,689
Just heard Republican audience hits new low by cheering child labor. Cheers!

Either this poll is full of crap, or people in SC have lost their minds and are blindly following Nikki's endorsement without researching and using their common sense!
::bashing::
And...
It looks to me as though Perry hit a nerve.

There is no doubt Ankara has been drifting towards Jihad and their rhetoric against Israel is right out of the Iranian, Nazi & PaulBot playbook! And our erstwhile NATO ally did NOT allow us to roll land units across their territory when we went after Iraq, if you recall we had to load up and go through The Ditch and forego a second front from the north because of those diaper-stains!
I say kick their butts out of NATO and salute them properly!

Well, SC does keep sending Grahamnesty back to the Senate, so go figure. I consider all of this crap nothing more than spectator entertainment. The fix is in, and even if it weren't it's far too late to "save" anything.

Imagining Lindsey Graham stumping back home ... (http://www.champersgroup.com/productmedia/southern-comfort-150cl-t.jpg) (http://www.champersgroup.com/) he sings Swanee River to them and they swoon.
How else could he get re-elected?
