Politics • Views: 28,478

It’s time for the final appearance of the GOP Clown Car before Super Tuesday, as the remaining four candidates try to make the American public believe there’s a single ounce of difference between any of them.

Tonight’s debate may go down in history as the first time a Presidential candidate was asked how he felt about Satan.

Here’s a live video feed: Video - Breaking News Videos From CNN.com.

Exit question: will Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich have ashes on their foreheads tonight for Ash Wednesday?

Not drunk enough to watch.

I don't think that's ash on Newt's forehead, looks more like brimstone. Think he was asking Satan for a campaign donation.

Duh. I told you that in the last thread. Newt didn't go to Church today and Santorum's (if he had it) was probably was brushed off during the pre-debate makeup session. If either had it, it was faked and they knew it.

As I discussed earlier this week, Santorum told an interviewer in 2006 that he had voted for Title X (even though he thinks contraception is harmful to women and doesn't even work). Title X is the federal program that funds family planning services for low-income women, and goes to health care providers including Planned Parenthood.

Freepers weigh in:

This debate has shown that Newt Gingrich is the most qualified man in the U.S. to be President. And, secondly, it would be a disaster for the Republican Party (and the country) if Rick Santorum is the nominee (because he’ll lose to Obama).
---

Would go absolutely phantasmic to hear someone ask, "Speaking of e-verify, how come Obama's social security number does not pass e-verify?"
---

The more Newt speaks, the better off we all are.
I wish upon him millions of delegates!
---

It’s over. The fix is in. This debate was stacked for Romney. Santorum goes after Mitt on Romneycare and the audience boos? Newt’s giving good debate answers and getting about a half-hearted response (probably cause the audience wants to help split the not-Romney vote)

Do you not find it AMAZING that EVERY attack Romney has laid on Santorum is something that has been hammered here on FR by Santorum supporters? It’s like his surrogates knew just about every Santorum-bashing thread there was and compiled the information up.
---

There HAD to have been a private caucus of some kind between CNN and the DNC/White House, days ago, to architect some of these zinger questions. Note how hardly any of the CNN questions are framed in a “you guys up here on the stage, what do you say with respect to Obama doing (such and such). These guys are SO in the tank for the Messiah. I will hand it to Santorum and Gingrich for aiming some political fire on the Administration and pivoting on an answer, though CNN has this agenda-ed out the way they definitely want it to go. By the way, anyone know the viewership of these debates especially Arizona and Michigan? I bet it is very very low. Call it debate fatigue. The Mass Media has really played a clever game over the last nine months to rip up to shreds the GOP in advance of them pitting their candidate against Obama. It is “Operation Chaos” ten fold, if you ask me. I say, NO MORE DEBATES BEFORE LIBERAL MEDIA OUTLETS. PERIOD. Let us have Citizen-Moderated Debates which the media can pool-cover if they wish.

"As long as you're America's enemy, you're safe!"

How's that working for Osama bin Laden, Newt?

if we vote for obama we will all die. probably from nuclear weapons that hezbollah will get through south america, maybe from an invasion from mexican immigrants, not sure how - but we're doomed.

Newt - it's not covert if you advertise it.

Syria is Baathist, so was Iraq. Relatively secular state.

Actually, we seem to be offing the semi-modern.

Newt's lying again.

FTFY. That's a feature, not a bug.

Gingrich forgot that if you mention "covert" actions in public, it ceases to be covert :-S

No I think he is referring to cooking oil, seriously we can defiantly be the leader in that industry.

My jackass of a roommate turned up Fox News when I went out to make food.

I wanted to punch him.

Um, Mitt, Iraq sits between Syria and Iran. Iran has it's own ports.

GOP is geographically challenged.

They need some maps so they can figure out how to locate the Iraq.

Gasoline is $6 a gallon in Florida, did I mishear that?

552 Lord Baron Viscount Duke Earl Count Planckton  Wed, Feb 22, 2012 6:40:28pm

And Ron Paul is not "right" too. He is an isolationist no matter what, right or wrong. That doesn't count.

Tampa and parts of Orlando I think...

re: #551 Shvaughn

Nope. I heard $6 per gallon as well.

There's a gas station in Florida that's been over-charging forever. That's what these dipshits are referring to:

I bought gas at that fucking place once. It was that or pay even more at the rental counter, or miss my flight.

Fuckers.

How does Rick have time for homeschooling when he's making $900,000 a year working like 5 different 'consulting' jobs?

566 ProMayaLiberal  Wed, Feb 22, 2012 6:44:10pm

I don't know why Conservatives have so little respect for other's views.

In response, I don't respect them.

Mitt: MA being the best in the country in education has absolutely nothing to do with you. It is the LIBERAL CULTURE of the state that puts emphasis on academic excellence. The states that fail in education are all conservative states.

re: #50 Major Tom

Who on that stage isn't? Well Paul I guess.

Paul's fighting for his immortal soul. He wants to put us on the gold standard because his alchemical experiments produced gold from a muddy mixture of Santorum. Don't be surprised if Mephistopheles appears towards the end to drag his ass off to hell.

571 Robert O.  Wed, Feb 22, 2012 6:55:15pm

Mitt Romney admits America does not have a single misconception about him. And he is right:

Romney believes Corporations are people
Romney believes the very poor does not matter
Romney believes the auto industry should be allowed to collapse
Romney believes $350k a year giving speeches is not much

etc.

No misconception anywhere. All facts.
