«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 317 of 317Sorry, I missed Sesame Street when they were teaching alphabetical order.
He's asking Bachman a question??? Confused...Interesting strategy.
More proof! Romney should have gone after Cain, but he went after Bachmann instead. I think this further suggests he and Cain and friends.
Gag me with a spoon.
Does anyone know if Bachmann has kids?
Writer X, When you're done with the spoon, pass it around. I'm gagging too.
Ooh! Bev! Bev! Bachmann just answered my question for me! Now you know how many kids she has!
We haven't heard how many kids she has in the last 5 minutes. I had almost forgotten.
Gee, does Bachman have children? Who knew.
Her conclusion sounded like an infomercial.
Is Michelle Bachmann a tax attorney. She forgot to say...
I won't be checking out the web site. Sorry.
For Santorum to pretend to be anti-Washington is ludicrous.
Make sure Santorum is finished, guys.
Spit it out Santorum. Ugh...
Right after attacking insiders, he now attacks Cain for being inexperienced? Seriously Santorum... go home.
The old commentator guy looks like he needs a stiff drink.
Okay, so I didn't have much personal feeling about Santorum one way or the other, but now I really want him gone.
Santorum has not done himself any favors in these debates.
Hey guys, where's that spoon? Anyone still using it?
I think the reason TARP now leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouth is because of the dishonesty and the filure to fully inform we yhe people...
Santorum: I hate to tell you this, but until the Constitution is amended to keep Congress from passing any tax legislation at all, there's always the possibility of abuse. But with Cain's plan, it would be transparent and easy for the average American to understand and jump on.
These Bloomberg commercials using cutesy kids are damn annoying.
By the way, no kids talk like this in real life. Trust me. The most eloquent they get is when the Jonas Brothers come up in conversation.
Lawhawk, I agree. His attack is disingenuous because you could level the same criticism against ANY plan.
Isn't the third round usually a lightening round in these kinds of contests....
Today's question is "band names" are you ready?!
Hey, does anyone else see this RomneyCare thing right in the middle of the room? Anyone?
Punch him Herm!
Block granny?
I don't know about the rest of you, but I can't wait for the last round when we find out what the candidates' favorite colors are.
Pay not attention to the problems with Obamacare.
I'm bored...
Greenspan. Good choice actually.
Ron Paul is about to have a stroke.
Oooh...oooh... final questions!
Boxers or Briefs! Boxers or Briefs! And for Michelle B. - French cut or Briefs!
Uh, wait. How is he a true insider? Hey, I asked you a question! Answer me! Let me finish!
T-Rav, I had that thought too! LOL!
I'm not a Greenspan fan but at least he warned us...
Well meaning?? Please. Grow a spine, Mitt.
DCAlleykat, That's actually what I meant. :)
Yes...he's well-meaning. Not corrupt or agenda-driven or anything, just well-meaning. That's it.
Bev, I think we should finish Price of Right Style and have them all bid on the price of a bucket of soup. The closest without going over gets the nomination!
LOLOL!
P.S. Does Bachmann have kids?
Bev, I'm not sure what you meant by that question, and frankly I'm not really sure I want to...
She's right on!
Turning gay people straight does NOT make you a small business person!
Writer X, I'm not sure. Let's wait a little while and see if she happens to mention it.
I'm actually happy to have seen and heard such a diverse group...
Paul is correct.
Way to go, Ron!!! Way to create love.
Holy crap, they actually brought Solyndra up. Could...could Fast & Furious be next?
All right, Paul! Repeal Dodd-Frank and Sarbanes-Oxley. Yay!
I mean look what the Dems have to vote for!
I'm guessing Red Coat Girl isn't a Perry fan.
Perry has the identical speak problem Bush had -- he gives have an answer, pauses stumbles, and then finishes. Every single sentence!
Is Holder in the audience?? A girl can dream.
Writer X, You think?! LOL!
I hate to say this to Rick, but just because the whole government is in on the cronyism doesn't make it less crony.
Actually, they didn't own the homes and that was the problem-- the banks owned them.
Oh, dear god. Charlie Rose needs to be tasered.
+10 for Newt! :)
Heh. Nice shot, Newt.
Ouch, Newt!
Writer X, I would LOVE to see him tasered! LOL!
Huntsman looks lost...
Yea! Newt! You've got to be able to afford it to be able to buy it!! Yes.
Mr. Bush: The more people who own homes the better, so long as they can pay for them. If you work hard, pay your bills and set aside money for important things, you should own a home. Otherwise, rent until you can afford to buy a home. Barney Frank, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae screwed that concept up.
This is sort of a tangent, but I wonder if the Chinese are more of a paper tiger if they let on. Not expecting a clear answer, just wondering.
Who is that woman and why is she talking?
You...you can't do that! You're supposed to be on the plantation and voting like us! How dare you!
more lost jobs...say it Mitt!
T-Rav... Yes. I can do an article on it at some point if you want.
Bev, She's the Obama Administration Rep at the table.
Whoever said they were being disturbed by Romney's use of the word "fundamental," yeah, that's kind of troubling.
This is because of Obama. Obama causes poverty.
Go, Perry!! He finally woke up.
Andrew, are you implying the Administration has only one rep at the table?
wow Greek even Rick...
T-Rav, No, I count 4 -- Rose, the woman in red, the younger woman and Huntsman.
Okay, this is actually a good point. Unmarried couples and single-parent households actually do have higher poverty rates.
"don't tase me bro!"
"Ahhhhhh!!"
Who the heck was that yelling? Taser them too, while we're at it.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Stop saying that!!!!!!!!!!!!
There it is again!
"I was po before I was poor." Nice!
yeah Herman poh noh moh...
300 comments or bust!!
I think it was Huntsman...
I want to go to war with Europe.
It was great to be with you all....
Must be nice to be from a rich family.... smug jerk.
What does it exactly mean to be poor in America?
Thanks for joining us DCAlleyKat! :)
Yeah, I don't think that's called "Huntsman is a brilliant economist," I think that's called "It's Utah."
Bye DC!
I do not like Perry...
Andrew: If you and Santorum get together, We can have WWIII. Yippee!
The left has defined deviancy down while at the same time defining poverty up. When "poverty" means only two wide-screen HDTVs, only two cars, only one air conditioner and only one Section 8 house, of course there are more people living in poverty than in the past.
Oof! I'll admit, that was a good closing line.
Dear Lord make it end.
I believe in tables too, there's just too much evidence to be a table-denier.
Now for the MSM smearing ...
301! Way to go!
That had to be the worst most convoluted final question ever. Charlie Rose needs to go away.
Thanks to everyone for coming! It's been a lot of fun! :)
Andrew, YOU ARE WRONG! Tables are suspect. I believe chairs are much more useful!
Well, this was interesting. That's all I got at the moment.
Personally, I believe in throwing chairs...
My guess: The polls will show Romney moving up, Cain gaining a few points, Perry losing points, and the rest holding about where they were before the debate. I give the questioners a D+.
T-Rav and Bev, I believe in throwing tables! ;)
What I learned from tonight's debate:
-Bachmann has 5 biological kids and 23 foster ones.
-People really need to let Santorum finish.
-Ron Paul doesn't like anyone who won't destroy the Fed on Day One.
-Charlie Rose needs to be taken by the hand and led away from the news desk.
That's about it.
I was't aware that throwing furniture required a belief system, but okay! Just in case, if I ever invite you over to my home, promise me you will say "no". I like my table and I wouldn't want to risk it.
Bev, It's just believing in tables that requires a specific belief system... or Charlie Rose was lying to me.
If you don't accept that the fact that climate change exists, you are no different from a table-denier.
Oh Jeez, who let Algore in the room?
Hey, Al! Look over there --> Carbon credits!
Okay, someone lock the door and turn off the lights. He might come back.
Okay, here are my more serious thoughts on the debate:
Among the frontrunners, I think Cain did best. He started out a bit slow, but he built over time. He should be able to pad his numbers a little more.
Romney didn't do just great, but it's Romney. He stumbled some, but he was still pretty smooth.
Perry lost by not winning. I think this was actually better than his last performance, but he needed to really hit it out of the park to turn things around, and he didn't. I expect his numbers to maybe tick up a bit, but not much.
Among the also-rans, Newt did great again, Bachmann was mixed, Paul was...well, he was Ron Paul, Huntsman continued to irritate the heck out of me, and Santorum just needs to go away.
I give the moderators a hearty FAIL, not to mention Bloomberg.tv. The darn site buffered so much I missed nearly a third of the debate. Also, we should consider that this debate may not mean as much, given its limited availability.
Finally, collectively speaking, Commentarama is much smarter than the candidates are. That is all.
