Are you watching? What do you think?
UPDATE: I got home late and missed a big chunk of the debate, but from what I saw, I found Rick Perry to be a mediocre debater. Mitt Romney was polished, but isn’t as smart or well spoken as Newt Gingrich was. Herman Cain’s foreign policy weakness’s came through a bit as well.
In the end, I was impressed the most by Newt Gingrich, he’s smart, and he doesn’t allow himself to throw mud. He’s substance, style, and class. Mitt and Perry going at each other bothers me. Republicans shouldn’t attack each other like they are fighting a Democrat.
Blogs For Victory 
My thoughts are that Anderson Cooper was enjoying it when the Republicans fought amongst themselves. I think that Rick Perry had more energy but he may be finished because it just wasn’t enough.
It’s a very interesting split – Herman Cain, Ron Paul or Mitt Romney. I may say that I am in very strong agreement with Ron Paul on cutting off all foreign aid to other countries. I, personally, am very isolationist, but Ron Paul gets us moving in that direction and for that I am pleased. Isolationism, cultural identity, free market and small government = the key to strength.
On December 7, 1940, The United States was very isolated, had a very strong cultural identity, a very free market, and a government a lot smaller than we have now.
One year later we were involved in a war that consumed 20 million lives.
Fun stuff eh?
I can see why my favorite, Newt Gingrich, is moving up in the polls. When all is said and done, Newt is the only one that looks and sounds presidential. I would love to see Gingrich in a debate with Obama. It would be lights out for the chosen one! I think Gingrich brings a whole lot more more of a Reagan conservatism to the debate table than any of the other candidates. I agree with much of what Ron Paul stands for; I just don’t think he or Michelle Bachman could beat Obama. Romney came across pretty strong but I’m not convinced he would be the best representative of the conservative branch of the republican party. Gingich (president) and Cain (VP) would make for an interesting ticket!.
I am voting for Rick Perry.
newt kept control…both perry and romney played the teenagers…again…its hard to open the door for that to get into the oval office…newt and paul would be a dynamic duo for POTUS/VP
Santorum – articulate, sanctimonious preppie; comes across as an ankle-biter.
Paul – principled, persistent and courageous, also a bit peevish (maybe due to being the lone ranger on so many important issues).
Cain – homespun, unpretentious and decent. Totally clueless on foreign policy, not ready for prime time.
Mitt – the big dog. Like it or not he’s got the mojo – even if he squandered some of his dignity sparring with Perry he’s got more in his suitcase.
Perry – strident, cocky and intellectually hollow. He’s the male version of Sarah Palin only meaner and way less perky.
Newt – the undisputed brains of the group. His suggestion for debates was spot on – unfortunately he carries way too much baggage to be nominee of the current GOP.
Bachmann – bizarre dual loyalty to Israel and U.S. – why would anyone choose a double agent for high office? However she’s far more disciplined and articulate than Palin, and her evangelical creds make her attractive to many GOPers. A likely VP choice.
why would anyone choose a double agent for high office?

“He’s substance, style, and class.” Matt Margolis.
I would have to disagree, Substance , style, and and class are words rarely used to discribe a man that left his cancer stricken and dieing wife for another woman.
Just my opinion.
I agree, GMB, that’s a hard pill for the family values proponents to swallow. Shows a rather glaring character flaw that Newt is going to have trouble dismissing no matter how often he says it was truly a despicable thing for him to do.

GMB,
You do realize that “left is cancer striken wife” story is a lie, right?
Realizing that we are not electing the Pope, Gingrich was the smartest politician on the stage, and maybe the smartest politician currently in politics, and I am glad to see others here who agree. Gingrich has the right ideas, has the right experience, and would absolutely wipe the floor with Obama during any debate they would have. I only hope other conservatives can get past their delicate sensitivities to consider him.
I lost all faith in Perry last night, agreed with Paul on a lot, and realized that Bachmann, Santorum, and Cain are not ready. I still lean towards Romney, but if Newt can get some momentum, I would definitely become a supporter.
You are right, we are not electing a pope. The Pope doesn’t have the power an American President has. He left his wife whom he given a vow too. You know that one “til death do we part”.
He broke that vow, what makes anyone think he will uphold the vow “to protect and defend the constitution”?
Green,
well, death was going to do them part anyway, so he might as well get a head start.
True, Newt is the kind of fellow that if the doctor told him he only had 6 months to live he would reply, heck, I bet you I can check out in three.

You also realize that Gingrich and his “cancer stricken wife” had settled on a divorce months before she went into the hospital and it was her idea not his, and that he wasn’t having an affair, and that Jackie Gingrich is still alive, right?

I am not at all that concerned with Newt’s past, I am confident that going forward, he has the right ideas, and the know how to get it done, and that is what matters.

I love Newt.
The news media absolutely savaged him when he was speaker as bad or worse than Palin.
If he were elected it would be 24/7/365 of non stop hysteria, lies, vitriol worse than W.
For that very reason I do not think many will vote for him.
Sad but true.
Now if he got BJ’s from some fat intern at work in the WH, had homosexual liaisons with 16 yo pages and ran a gay brothel out of his apt, or smoked crack and white owls in the back seat of a limo… Bingo a leftist HERO!!

im sure nobody in the history of the Presidency has ever done that! Shame!
The debate showed one thing, Newt is an adult and Perry is a whiny little kid.
Perry: Mitt, you hired someone who hired illegal immigrants years ago.
Mitt: You have a whole state full of illegal immigrants.
I’m sure with a little investigation someone could say that Perry continues to eat food that was raised by farmers who hire illegal immigrants and Perry refuses to stop eating that food.
Newt should have pointed that out and told Perry to leave the stage and come back in four years when he grows up.
newt has as much chance as Green to be the nominee.
It’s Romney vs. Obama folks.

so then don’t vote. be like Green, stay true to your conviction and stay home.

Let’s forget about the debt for the moment.
U.S. spends 3.6 trillion a year.
112 million taxpayers
3.6 t / 112m = 321,428
That means every taxpayer only needs to give 321,428 each to balance the spending.

replace chavez with Obamama, and Venezuela with the US.
and cuba with commie donks. that is where we are at today.
=====================================================
To date, however, Chávez has no credible successor.
But he does have his fanatic supporters, Chavistas, along with plenty of help from
Cuba. Large numbers of Cuban intelligence agents now operate in Venezuela in support of Chávez’s regime.Venezuela has provided Cuba with economic largess and regular shipments of oil; accordingly, Cuba can be counted on to do all it can to make sure Venezuela remains an ideological and economic alley.
Unfortunately, Chávez has so completely polarized his country that it will be difficult for Venezuelans to repair the damage he has done. He has taken three bad ideas from Venezuela’s past — statism, authoritarianism, and populism — and taken them to epic levels. Anti-Americanism has become more prevalent than ever. And large swaths of Venezuela’s economy have been nationalized.
The opposition will have much work to do to find a candidate to appeal to Venezuela’s poor majority; and even if an opposition candidate prevails, a new government will face an epic task to undo Chávez’s damage — soaring levels of corruption, crime, and dysfunctional governance. Venezuela’s state oil company, critical to government revenues, is a shadow of itself thanks to Chávez’s mismanagement.
Even without Chávez (or a Chávez clone), Venezuela will take years to recover from the damage Chávez has done with his leftist and anti-American agenda.
J.R.
not only is there no irony in that statement, but the fact that you loonies think our economy will collapse due to the debt is laughable.
if you look at bond rates for our debt, you’d see that they are not only low, but incredibly stable. There is NO hint of inflation at all.
Furthermore, when markets get spooked, where do they run? You betcha, the dollar! why? because we have a reserve currency and our economy is the largest and most diverse of any on earth.
Fear mongers like yourself and neo, are either stupid, or misinformed, or both. The US will never have to default on any debt simply because investors will always buy our bonds due to market volatility and lack of alternatives.
do bother to learn something J.R. maybe you will indulge us and tell us why there hasn’t been an inflationary spike like your side predicted, or a great crash like your side predicted for many years now. (think spook and Mark). ??? Anything?

these are not “debates” they are moderated, timed question and answer periods.
To allow leftist useless idiots ask the questions, and moderate the answers are shams and lunacy.
These “debates” do nothing but provide the donks negative ammunition when we get someone to oppose the POS.
I am beginning to believe US politics as a whole has become a ship of dumbed down or recycled – loser fools.
I am leaning more to Cain every day.
Judge him on the truth. OK. Lets do that. He did have an affair with another woman while married. He took a vow and broke it.
My question is still valid. What makes anyone think he will keep his vow to the constitution?
GMB
possibly.
but we know the donks will PEE on both.

Agreed Neo, but I am not convinced Newt will not do the same thing.
If the president doesn’t preserve protect and defend the Constitution he’s voted out or impeached.
If a husband doesn’t preserve protect and defend his marriage, he’s likely to wake up staring at a #10 can of Campbell’s Pork & Beans raised high over his head.

Did you forget what happens on Innauguration Day. The President-Elect raises his right hand and takes the Oath? He couldn’t keep a vow to his wife and you expect him to keep the big one?
You must really need that tiny tax cut the establishment will throw your way.
Yeah that’s it, the tax cut, that’s all I want. And do you consider keeping the vow to support the constitution larger than keeping the vow to your wife? Just curious.
You do know that Obama has kept his word to his wife – how has that worked out for you?
Actually its worked out ok. My world doesn’t depend on a politician not getting re-elected. Yours obviously does..
Oath to wife is an outh to one person. Oath to the constitution is an oath to everyone in this country.
As I said, You go your way and I’ll go mine.

I did just hear Hannity interview Gingrich, and I gotta say – I think I am leaning towards Gingrich. He is a real conservative, has outstanding ideas, has outstanding experience, knows how to shut the imbeciles in the MSM down, and would walk over Obama in a debate. I just hope GMB will forgive me.
You are just plain petty Cluster. That is all.
Not petty at all GMB, just realizing that we are all human, including Gingrich, with the added difficulty of being a man. He without sin cast the first stone.
Cluster,
I don’t think that matters to GMB, I mean it’s not like your candidate could ever disagree with his candidate.
Well, your candidate couldn’t agree with his candidate either … not sure anyone’s candidate could.

I think GMB believes we have a weak field.

I have to some what agree
I like perry, but his stance on immigration and the borders ( a biggie to me) suck.
I like romney, but his flip floping, leftist governing, and romney care ( a biggie to me ) suck.
I like Newt, but he had his 15 minutes of fame and proved he was not ready for primetime, what has changed? I could hold my nose and vote for him IF he got the nod.
I like Bachmann, not ready for the big seat,a right TEA party polar opposite of barry (rookie)…..I would give her my vote IF she won, (she wont)
I like SOME of what the loon says, 75% NOT…forgetabout him ever geting the nod.
I like Cain, didnt like his islam or rock missteps. I will rack it up to inexperience.
Cain has all the business, finance, brains to be POTUS.
He lacks foreign experience but what governor does not?
This is going to be a down and out dirty, bloody, nasty, vulgar campaign brought upon us by black racists, union thugs, looters, commies, radicals and anarchists.
Cain has the least baggage, best credentials (my opinion) and he is BLACK, our ace in the hole, trumps the commie left racist card.
I am for now officially for Cain!

Yeah, neo.
obAMATEUR cannot run on “Four more years” and “are you better off than before” – the protests prove that.
He has to resort to class warfare because that is the only thing he has left – his “jobs” bill (errrrrr tax bill) and the protests and his support for them prove that.

I think Herman Cain is the type of Presidential material we are looking for.
He’s strong on both social and financial issues.
I do like Newt Gingrich for his maturity, and he swiftly does away with any myths about his record, as well as debate tactics my moderators that might otherwise go off topic from the more important issues facing the country.
So Newt is also presidential material.
Mitt Romney and Rick Perry seem like two school kids, arguing back and forth about who is “worse”, and who is “better.” Neither qualify in my opinion.
Michelle Bachmann is smart … and seems like a humble person, and she has what it takes, I think, to do the job, but I’m not too sure people are giving her the credit that is due her. So maybe she will have to wait a few years. For some reason people don’t seem too ready for a woman President, when I think a woman could handle the job just as good or better than a man could. I know it’s always been the man that has taken the duty, but I think there’s always room to try it the other way around. And just see how it goes.
But right now, I’m leaning toward Cain!
As I said in the beginning, I think Gingrich and Cain would make a great ticket. Romney is a RINO, republican progressive. We need someone that more closely resembles President Reagan. It was because of Reagan (not Clinton) that we experienced the longest period of economic growth and bull market.Gingrich more closely resembles the type of leadership this country needs.

well they wont be on the same ticket.
