And then there were four: the Teletubbies got Rick Perry! Oh my! Anyway, North Carolina is first in flight, which makes South Carolina first in complaining about airport noise. . . and tonight we're going to hear a LOT of noise. Get ready for another Republican Smackdown!
While we wait for the debate on CNN at 8:00 PM, tell us your state's motto (or make one up if you don't know yours) and tell us how you would improve it or with what you would replace it!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 405 Newer› Newest»I'm with Newt 100% on his takedown of Santorum.
Rick you always sound like a relative of Mr. & Mrs.Whiner.
You are a socialist ass and I will not vote for you Ricky.
Let's play a game. In front of you is a sheet of paper. On that paper are two choices: Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum. You can pick one of those, or you can let a giant bear trap close on your head. You have 60 seconds.
What does Ricky know about cogent thoughts?
Can you be experienced in government and remain an outsider?
re: Santorum. I worry about anyone who tells me not to worry.
That's an unsettling answer by Newt.
Didn't keep me from knocking boots in the Oval Office for four more years though, what-what?
John is looking a wee bit constapated.
DC, No, not really.
all that "big" just sounds like "big government" to me.
DC, Newt is just so full of awesome he can be both at the same time and magically turn all his opponents into RINOs.
Wow, Rick is cutting his own throat. Keep going Rick!!!!
Well, I'll give Santorum credit for properly describing Gingrich's thinking processes.
Hey, at least Romney has tax returns to release. Can't say that for many Democrats.
And when exactly did Ricky blow the lid off of all this stuff that he admits he knew about?
Girls, girls! Don't fight! There's an easy way to settle this--you both suck.
Romney scores a huge point here!
"Hey, at least Romney has tax returns to release. Can't say that for many Democrats."
You rang?
Actual Conservative, I could take that to the next level, but I'll just let everybody do that in their own minds...
Romney gives a good reason for not electing a Washington insider.
I agree Andrew!
Newt and Santorum just converted Romney into an outsider.
Romney has lived on the street? Cool!
The delivery suite hahahahahahahahah
Let's hear it for awkward silences!!
Good. Now we're all confused.
Wow! "You're mentioned once..."
That was a KILLER!
tryanmax, I'm going to complain to Andrew and get you expelled. Sicko.
I've been coming to think of him as an outsider myself, actually. But I'm still giving at least four weeks to become the new talk show meme.
You know what? Quit it and start pointing out what it'S going to take to rid ourselves of BHO!
You owe us!
So Newt is now Ronald Reagan?
WHO GIVES A F-- ABOUT THEIR TAXES YOU CLASS WARFARE *SSHOLES!!!!!
Wait, why is a retired stock trader asking about this? What's going on?
Go Ron...
T-Rav, What? You weren't thinking of popsicles?
LawHawk, Newt was always Ronald Reagan. Did you ever see them in the same place together? I didn't think so.
The Democrats (and the guys around me) are trying to attack people who are successful. Yep.
It's about time!
Go Romney. Hammer that Keystone pipeline for all it's worth.
Yay, Mitt! Throwing it back!
I'm not concerned about how much money a candidate has made, but how he made it. Tax returns are nice, but not entirely necessary.
Keystone Pipeline!
Let's think about this. We have a crumbling economy, crippling energy issues, Europe and the Mideast are about to go to @#$%, the border is the same way, and we're asking about the candidates' tax returns. Okay.
If I could slap Newt...
Wait a minute... wasn't this Santorum ass calling last week that Romney needs to release his taxes?
Hypocrite much Rick?
There's nobody home...but we knew that.
Do you think that Millard Fillmore or Calvin Coolidge had to go through this?
Someone wake us when this is over.
OMG get off it already!
Romney is on fire tonight.
Aw, get off it. They really want to see if Romney has taken deductions and made money from laws created by liberal Democrats. So what? Money quote: "I'm not going to apologize for my success."
I can't believe this. There have been more follow up questions on this one topic than on any other issue.
Apple product placement?
Andrew, yeah, but I'll bet you $10,000 that the media calls him the loser again.
Bev, now I have John Belushi's speech in Animal House going through my head.
Tam: You beat me to it.
Did someone say CHINA?!?!
Rick again brags about his plan to micromanage the economy.
tryanmax, I'm sure they will. That the meme. They'll declare Newt the winner tonight is my guess.
Is there a time delay or is Santorum doing some really bad lip-synching? Because I'm honestly not sure.
Nice! Santorum adopts what Romney has previously promised and pretends he's the only one to say it.
Andrew, probably, though I wouldn't be surprised if they throw a bone to Santorum just to generate phone calls.
am I the only person who knows the difference between infer and imply?
I thought only socialists talk in negative terms about "consumerism."
And Ron Paul proves that he actually understands economics. :)
Okay, this is a good answer by Paul, I just wish he hadn't marred it by bringing up "consumerism."
Tam, if you mean among you and the candidates, yes.
Tam, What are you inferring? ;)
Andrew, clearly that makes Santorum a good statesman. ;-)
time for dinner...
Hey Rick, STFU!
I am implying that Tam is a grammar Nazi in real life. :-D
Of course, when I say "I" I mean the collective group of commentaramarians. I thought that was IMPLIED.
SOPA = Stalinism
I'm imfluring that you're all nuts.
Thank you Newt!
Newt: Hollywood interests. Nice!
Wait, is King defending SOPA?? @#$% you, King!
Go to Ricky on this... I want to watch him dance!
Newt for President!
thumbs up Romney!
Show me Ricky!
Present law is sufficient. Very good.
"Imfluring" ain't a real word, Nebraska boy.
Okay Mitt, keep going...
thumbs up for Paul
Come on, go to Ricky-- he already said he supported it last week!
Current laws, good. Unfortunately, I liked Newt's answer better.
I'm am so obviously delayed.
Does this count as waffling or doubling down on Santorum's part?
LIAR!!!!!!!
You supported SOPA!!!!
And he's speaking out of both sides of his mouth -- I don't support this, but I do support it.
F-you Rick!!!
Um, there is something already being done. It's called copyright law.
Ah, never mind. Call it just plain incoherent.
I propose "waffling down".
How about "submarine down"?
Ricky's answer on SOPA is absolutely why this man should never be trusted with even an ounce of power.
As in submarine sandwich? 'cos I could go for that.
Isn't it funny how only liberal states support the popular vote? What a strange coincidence?
Clearly God didn't see fit to trust him with an ounce of logic. He doesn't seem to realize that going after Americans to stop internet pirates in other parts of the world makes absolutely no sense.
Oh, goody. A question about which screwup I'd like to undo.
I actually saw an article on HuffPo today defending the electoral college. imagine that!
tryanmax: Maybe he's planning on sending in the Internet SEALs.
Rick is not smart.
The Romney campaign has produced a series of tweets titled "The Newt Grandiose Thought Collection: 'I Think Grandiose Thoughts.'" Interesting stuff. "I First Talked About [Saving Civilization] In August Of 1958."
CrisD, Rick is also a jerk. His behavior wouldn't have been accepted in high school and should not be accepted now.
There is no escaping the whirlwind of thought that is Newt Gingrich!
Newt: "I wouldn't have hired all those advisors who aren't as brilliant as I am."
Good one, Mitt!
Good LOL from Mitt.
Well done, Mitt.
Very classy answer.
"I Have An Enormous Personal Ambition. I Want To Shift The Entire Planet. And I'm Doing It...I Represent Real Power." The Newt Grandiose Thoughts Collection
Fred Thompson 2012!
facepalm @ Santorum
Paul: "Well, maybe I would have stayed on my meds."
I would not have run.
@Paul How about you buy some new ties. You know, ones made this century?
Andrew,
my uncle knows Rick and said he is a jerk. Has that rep in Philly.
Newt's answer on illegal immigrants ain't half bad.
tryanmax, those ties come from a time where there was no big government and the Federal Reserve didn't exist. In Paul's name, I resent you standing athwart his efforts to turn back the clock.
Damn! Those are some old ties. They belong in a museum. As does Paul.
Well, no, it wasn't half bad.
This must be the bad half of the answer.
good clarification... citizenship is different from legal residency.
Mitt's answer is good, but he forgets that many of these illegals don't come here for jobs, they come here for freebies.
Santorum..unprofessional.
Why do I get the feeling Santorum would have voted for the amnesty-citizenship thing if he'd still been in Congress?
I think Newt's answer was very astute, but the devil's in the details. Newt simply can't be bothered with details.
Oh great, Romney-Santorum smackdown. 'Nilla on 'nilla.
So let me get this straight... Firehouse Rick is attacking Romney for being pro-illegal aliens?
The same Firehouse Rick who wants to forbid employers from checking to see if you're here legally?
Mitt, good. The way to protect legal immigration (which we favor) is to stop illegal immigration.
Santorum's voice has unfortunately put Andrew in a straitjacket. Thought you people should know.
Andrew, you had to come back 30 seconds before I sockpuppeted that, didn't you? Jerk.
Cris, It absolutely doesn't surprise me. I've met many lawyers exactly like him and he's shows ZERO manners and ZERO regard for anyone else. He's a liar and he seems to suffer from small-dog syndrome.
Yay! Attack the welfare state and incentives!
Paul: Take your thorazine--please.
T-Rav, Sorry to ruin your joke, but your sockpuppet was pretty close to how I was feeling.
No Fast and Furious? No one?
Is that fool asking a question or making a speech?
hee hee.
Allahpundit on Twitter: "The best thing about this debate series is revisiting the same topics 12-15 times"
I just like Newt for his hits on the media.
Dear Newt, WHILE you were speaker, the federal government gave money to the same groups.
Joke's on you! I can do both!
Tam, I like those too. Unfortunately, it's all the other stuff that's the problem.
exactly...that is where his usefulness ends.
It just occurred to me that I could have been doing a jigsaw puzzle with my grandmother rather than watch this schlock. #Dedication
I don't know my state's motto much to my chagrin but I do remember the tourist slogan a few years back that had to be abandoned due to complaints.
Florida, the rules are different here.....
I was at class and quite frankly want to give the debates a passthis one time... sorry guys
Why do they keep showing the bored woman? Is she someone?
Yeah, but some of us who are pro-life actually don't want that in a president.
"the rules are different here"? What kind of slogan is that? That sounds like "you ain't from around here, are you boy?"
She is there for the rest of us to empathize with.
Don't veto us!
Indi, can I redefine "rules" as "people"? :-)
Don't veto us!
Don't veto us!
ha ha, clones!
tryanmax, LOL! That must be it.
She's a microcosm of everyone watching the debate.
Well played, CLONES. Well played.
How can he possibly skip Paul?
♪♫ Send in the clones ♪♫
I just remembered why I hate Paulbots so much. I can guarantee you not a one of them gives a flip about abortion, and would probably prefer that it be on demand.
This is a very good point -- ALL FUNDS ARE FUNGIBLE.
Confession: I had to look up fungible.
T-Rav cloned himself, and then the clone killed him and took his place. We have the evidence.
tryanmax, did you find out the difference between "imply" and "infer" while you were at it?
No, I just inplyred a substitute.
Don't agitate the grammar nazi.
T-Rav's kittens, we don't care. A clone is just as good as the original.... and works cheaper! :)
Seriously, did Ricky practice all these faces in the mirror before the debate?
tryanmax, Fungible is a dirigible of fun!
... it's all about blimps people!
Andrew, T-Rav, especially when you store them in stasis on the moon.
He did, until the mirror broke.
BLIMPS! Thanks. I needed that.
There is not enough duct tape in the world to keep my skull intact when Santorum speaks.
You can't have blimps on the moon, you guys. There's no air, so they'd never stay afloat. Duh.
tryanmax, nice movie reference... .Moon for everyone playing along at home.
Thank God!
They're also known for being pro-military. You're flat out of luck there, Ron.
Not to us!
Useful for what?
Debates aren't going to overcome a billion dollar campaign. But I don't think the billion will help him unless we pick an idiot.
Well said by Romney.
A conviction conservative? Who is that, because it's not socialist Ricky.
Have Mercy on me! Get out Santorum!
Sorry. I dozed off. Anything happening?
Rick is the only one to win in a swing state? Ah, Romney won in a liberal state.
And Ricky got his rear end handed to him in that swing state.
Oh thank God it's over!
Things I learned at this debate:
a)We're screwed.
b)You can have blimps on the moon.
c)Santorum still likes big government.
d)There's a difference between imply and infer.
e)Newt still doesn't like the media.
f)I am a clone.
g)Tam kills people who use bad grammar and stuffs the bodies in her crawlspace.
I hate these podiums.
Andrew!!! What about Santorums closing? Say it!!!!!
Grades:
Romney A
Newt A
Paul B+
Santorum F
But the kitties are safe with me! Tam, 2012!
Cris, Words fail me when it comes to Santorum... at least words other than 4 letter words.
T-Rav, Excellent list! :)
Hey, didn't Newt thank CNN at the end? I don't remember him doing that at the beginning. Maybe I missed it.
Okay, I have to go collect my gray matter off the walls now.
CNN is doing a hit piece with edits. They are showing attacks, but not defenses. And they are playing up the Newt's wife thing and the anti-Romney tax thing.
CNN is shameless... but then you knew that.
