Mitt Romney is supposed to go on the offensive in this debate. I think Gingrich will probably rip out his aorta and leave him bleeding helplessly on the floor. It’s kind of like telling a Griffon Fauve de Bretagne to attack a Pit Bull.

Romney is saying nasty things about Newt.
Newt: he’s a liar. I have a website, says he’s a liar. Huckabee and McCain say he’s a liar.
Romney: 88% of Republicans reprimanded Newt, and he did resign in disgrace. Freddie Mac Freddie Mac Freddie Mac…
The morons at NBC seem to think that political junkies in the Mountain and Pacific time zones won’t mind having the debate tape-delayed by 3 hours. This is the ONLY debate I’ve ever seen be tape-delayed. It’s like having a major sporting event not be shown live.
Anyone on the west coast can catch it online at NBC Politics.com like I am. I think it may also be at National Journal’s website as well.
I can’t wait for Newt to announce his Mitt Romney Pays No Taxes tax plan.
STAPLES!!
Chris Christie was out today selling Mitt’s job creation record with Staples and Sports Authority as “Good Middle-Class Jobs.”
Ha! Non-Union minimum-wage service jobs without benefits are now “Good Middle Class Jobs.” Someone inform McDonald’s that they’re doing their recruiting all wrong. “Come to Micky D’s and join the (new!) Middle Class! – Now eligible for Medicaid!”
Brian Williams is sooo terrible.
Ron Paul is probably asleep at this point.
This is so boring even I can’t enjoy it. Something’s wrong here.
I think it’s because they made the audience stay quiet. And Brian Williams is boring.
Yeah, what’s wrong is that a major national party has produced Rick Santorum, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, and Newt Gingrich as the only candidates for the presidency. It’s the most pathetic and ridiculous moment in our collective political history, I believe Dan Quayle would wipe the floor with this batch.
And he loves a drug-addicted pedophile!!
Gingrich actually got knocked back on his heels by Romney. Good for Mitt.
NEXT UP: We wake up Ron Paul to ask him about the frothy mix.
Has Ron Paul even been allowed to say a single word yet?
Yes. He was asked why the fuck he’s running and if he’s gonna go third party.
So cool. The Jihadists have platforms 90 miles off our coast in CUBA!!
Sanotrum: So Much Winning!!
Because it was such a bad/boring debate, this was the moment I’m going to take away…
Apparently we need to tell our entire hemisphere what to do, and if they don’t agree with us well then regime change through cover ops is OK as well as killing anyone in the way. And oh yeah! Fuck Iran too, because everyone who’s brown is a terrorist anyways, right Fidel?
Romney declares that closing the Straits of Hormuz is an act of war. Our Navy is so small you can put it in a modestly-sized bathtub.
Ron Paul has a patent on blaming America first.
Except he’s right lol.
But he’s wrong with his own history with talking about “we did it right and declared war properly.” He opposed going to war with Germany…you know, after they declared war on us.
He’s not right.
Why do we have Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty? Why do we have an IAEA? Who is supposed to enforce those rules? What happens when a country flouts those rules?
In Ron Paul’s world, the members of the Security Council have no moral authority or moral responsibility to control nuclear proliferation. He’s wrong.
All of our lives may depend on our ability to avoid nuclear proliferation and to disarm over time.
Iunno, ask Israel.
But that’s not what I said he’s right about. He’s right about, “How would you feel if they blockaded the Gulf of Mexico?” He’s right about questioning American Imperialism.
What!!!???
The UN Security Council!!!???
In Ron Paul’s world?
How about in the real world?
The five “permanent” members…permanent because they are all armed to the teeth… and three of the non-permanent members are all scary nuclear military powers. We are actually the scariest of the bunch because we have been on an active war footing (overt and/or covert) for roughly 50 years. We are the Permanent War. The only time that we oppose other nations regarding getting nuclear arms is when they are a potential threat to our own world-wide, economic imperialist hegemony.
I’ll believe that “control nuclear proliferation” crap when they get around to disarming themselves.
In Ron Paul’s world?
How about in your world, Booman.
I hear a lot from dedicated leftieness shmoon about how I have “drank the kool-aid” in regard to Ron Paul.
You swallow that “U.N. saves the world” crap?
Man…you drownin‘ in it.
Bet on it.

Can’t get a Great
JobCareer at Staples if you don’t speak english.Romney is talking about having principles. It’s kind of funny.
