Title: South Carolina GOP debate
Post by: Chris_ on January 19, 2012, 07:22:53 PM
It's just Noot, Mittens, Santorum, and Dr. Nuts tonight.  Starting out with talking points. 

Santorum: "Obama has created... economic squalor".


John King is the moderator.  I suppose that beats Anderson Cooper or David Gregory (yes, I know he's at NBC).

On Obamacare... King starts out with the sob stories about the worst of the worst.  Romney says the states should have a choice to participate in Obamacare.  But he's for repeal.  That's what he said.  Uh huh.

"Healthcare should not be run like Amtrak and the Post Office." :rofl:

I loved Newt's line about Obama wanting to keep our "kids" on our insurance until their 26 because there are no jobs. Elect us and we there will be jobs so your kids can move out of your house.  :-)

Newt: Obamacare "is a total mess". 

"Elect us and your kids can move out because they'll have work."

Santorum is trashing RomneyCare... Rick is standing by Health Savings Accounts "while these guys were playing footsie with the Left."

Ron Paul must be feeling left out.  Nobody's asked him to speak yet. :-)

King: "Congressman [Paul] is getting lonely down here."

Stupid retort by Paul referencing his military service.  Douchebag.

Ron Paul is correct on basic fiscal matters.  His opinion on everything else is irrelevant. 

Health care spending = Foreign aid.  Yadda yadda.

Santorum is flirting with disaster attempting to take Newt on over his congressional record.

We're seeing another rather lackluster performance from Romney......he can't seem to complete a sentence.

Ron Paul has no tax returns to release. :rofl:

This talk about Romney not paying his "fair share" in taxes is shit.  He paid for the money he invested as income first and was taxed for it at the time.  From what I can see, he's getting hit twice like everyone else that invests money.

Good answer from Gingrich... the good intentions behind SOPA is fair.  It's the arbitrary penalty phase of the legislation that is draconian.

Ron Paul: "Me too!  Me too!  Look at me!"

A comprehensive SOPA answer from Santorum.

From what I've seen, he is no dummy.  Too bad the queers and their buddies on the left trashed him in the 90s

Is it just me, or is the CNN format for this debate amateurish and somewhat less polished than the others.......King comes across like a barker at a carnival.

Gingrich: "Waive all federal regulations to build a border fence.  Move 1/2 of all federal agents to the border.  Update the visa system.  Make criminal deportation easier."

The man has specific ideas.  It's better than platitudes and talking points.

Excellent answer.  At least it sounds like he's thought it out.

Obama just says "Si, se puede!"

Romney addresses employer identification requirements.

Santorum comes out strong with criminal penalties against illiegals.  Good.  Romney just wants them to get to the end of the line.

I heard Santorum on Meet The Press before the Iowa caucus.  He did an excellent job and refused to let David Gregory paint him into a corner.  He should have given that interview in December before Christmas... it would be a closer race by now.

Take a valium, Ron Paul. 

As far as the debt is concerned, I would like to see the Congress use Bush's 2008 $2.9 trillion budget as a baseline for all federal spending.  It's a start and it would put us in a better position than the one we're in now.  It would also defund Obamacare.

Romney delivers a knee to President O'Barry's crotch.  He's good at that.
