"bevy of regulations"

He can't use words like "bevy" in a GOP primary debate.

[JoePhilly]

9. Rick Perry is giving everyone dirty looks ... so is Newt.

[demtenjeep]

Romney looking very weak here.

[JoePhilly]

19. Agree ...

[demtenjeep]

[JoePhilly]

21. Watch Rick Perry's body language ... he's fuming. Looks like he wants to kill some one.

[demtenjeep]

22. they forget Obama wasn't a washington politician

and the bitch about it




then the run from being from DC


which is it

[oberliner]

23. Ron Paul stronger attack on Newt than Mitt was able to pull off

His attacks landed more effectively.

[JoePhilly]

24. Ron Paul tries to smack Newt ... Newt's a Lobbyist ... opps!!!

[JoePhilly]

25. When did Michelle become a Red Head??

[Tx4obama]

29. I hope no one had Newt-Romney as their drinking game word :) n/t

[JoePhilly]

31. I'm not as think as you drunk I am now!!!!

[demtenjeep]

32. perry should have said he was stoned

he looks and sounds it

[JoePhilly]

34. I've been noticing his body language when the others talk ... he looks like

he wants to kill some one.

[JoePhilly]

33. Perry!!!! ... Yea!!!!!

I've been waiting for him to say ANYTHING!!!!

[oberliner]

35. Romney seems to be taunting him with his lists of things

He remembers all the numbers.

Also threw in the young girls with the vaccine.

[JoePhilly]

36. Yea ... Romney ate Perry's lunch!

[oberliner]

37. 10,000 dollar bet?

What kind of universe do these people live in?

[JoePhilly]

40. Great minds!!!

[JoePhilly]

38. Did Romney just bet Rick $10,000??

Is that something a President does??

[Tx4obama]

42. Isn't betting for big money illegal in Iowa? :) n/t

[JoePhilly]

46. It would be funny if when they returned from comercial, Romney was gone!!!

Sorry ... the police just arrested Romney.

[oberliner]

45. This comment will be remembered I think

This debate feels like the swan song for Romney.

[JoePhilly]

50. Here's the sound I heard ....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eieOoUUl9RY

[Tx4obama]

39. Romney should have said I'll bet ya a dollar, instead of TEN THOUSAND

he is reminding folks that he's RICH !!!


edited to change Perry to Romney.

[JoePhilly]

41. Should have bet his broke back mountain jacket!!!

[JoePhilly]

43. Frothy the Santorium got CRUSHED in PA!!!

[oberliner]

44. George and Diane are pushovers

They let Michelle talk over them.

[JoePhilly]

47. They aren't even there.

Honestly ... the moderators don't seem to exist ... which I actually like ... let these idiots attack each other with little to no structure.

[JoePhilly]

48. Fred Thompson is now on my TV, discussing reverse mortgages.

I almost thought he was part of the debate!!

[oberliner]

49. Are these people watching the same debate?

Anyone listening to the ABC news pundits?

They are talking up Romney, talking down Newt.

Do agree that Rick could've really had fun with the Mitt 10,000 dollar bet, but missed it.

[oberliner]

51. Marital fidelity question - wow

Makes you think that someone has it out for Newt.

Edit to add:

"in fidelity with their spouse" - Rick couldn't find the word "faithful"

getting ready to see what Newt will say here

[JoePhilly]

52. Oh man ... the half time line at the men's room was LONG ... and I missed the

question!!!!

[JoePhilly]

53. Family Values .... trust ... !!!! Hahahaha!!!!!

awesome!!!!

[oberliner]

54. Are we the only people watching this thing?

Pass the popcorn!

[JoePhilly]

58. Could be ... I love these ... and this one is extra special ...

I want to stay up and see what SNL does with this in less than 2 hours.

[JoePhilly]

55. Does Mitt look extra orange tonight?? Or is my TV broken?

[oberliner]

57. He is coming off awful I think

I don't know - he just seems like a phony with pre-canned answers.

I know they all do (Michelle especially) but he seems really clearly "prepped" here.

Makes one miss Cain - who at least was a bit unpredictable.

[JoePhilly]

59. Agree ... he's been tripping up ... and I too loved CAIN ... he was so

crazy.

[Tx4obama]

56. AND: ... doesn't Mormonism condemn gambling?

From
@fivethirtyeight Nate Silver
The other weird thing about Romney's offer to bet $10,000: doesn't Mormonism condemn gambling?

[JoePhilly]

60. Oh man ... never even thought of that!!!! Again ... play this sound ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eieOoUUl9RY

[JoePhilly]

61. I don't belong to the local church ... can they vote me out of the neighborhood?

[JoePhilly]

62. Newt ... Do they wear brown shirts???

[JoePhilly]

63. Rick is babbling again ...

[oberliner]

64. How was Perry ever a front-runner?

He really sounds like an idiot.

Oh wait, Bush, right, never mind.

[JoePhilly]

67. Texas.

[JoePhilly]

65. "Invented People" ...

[oberliner]

66. Lord - they are hitting the I/P issues and starting with Ron Paul

Fun stuff.

[JoePhilly]

68. I think Newt is now about to kill his Presidential chances ....

This nonsense might get him the GOP nomination, but noting else.

[ProSense]

69. Think Progress tweets

Think Progress on Twitter

Ron Paul says 80% of government is unconstitutional. Gets applause.

Perry says "I not only made a vow to my wife, I made a vow to god.. If you cheat on your wife, you'll tweet on your business partner" #whoa

:rofl:

[ProSense]

70. Think Progress on Twitter:

Think Progress on Twitter

"Newt just winked at Diane Sawyer."

Ick!

:rofl:

[JoePhilly]

71. Perry says Obama screwed up the ME!!!!

And then gives Newt's balls a gentle caress!!!

:rofl:

[oberliner]

72. The Middle East stuff won't amount to much

I think it is way way way down the list of important issues for most folks.

[JoePhilly]

74. And we'll be out of Iraq in a few weeks ... and OBL is still dead!!

[Tx4obama]

73. Video is up on the net already of the Romney $10,000 bet. VIDEO link below

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x2461371

[ProSense]

75. Mitt Romney blames Obama

Josh Marshall

"Mitt not very convincing blaming his Newt-attacking ad on Obama. Sorry, lame. Lame."

You knew it was coming.

:rofl:

[JoePhilly]

76. Romney is done ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eieOoUUl9RY

[demtenjeep]

77. none have struggled

they are all shit

[demtenjeep]

79. they are all showing

they DO Not understand the 99%


they just don't get it

[oberliner]

78. What the hell is Rick Perry saying?

He is really awful.

Edit to add: This is a stupid question.

[demtenjeep]

80. I like it

none know what it is like to choose between medicine or food

[oberliner]

82. I meant my question about Rick Perry was stupid

Sorry for any confusion.

[JoePhilly]

81. GOP canddiates discuss being poor ....

[demtenjeep]

83. and none know

what poor is

[demtenjeep]

85. her is where Cain would say

blame your self

[oberliner]

84. Like a job interview - they don't answer the question asked

They just say what they want/planned to say regardless of what they are asked.

[oberliner]

86. Romney gets too flustered with the health care questions

He really lets this stuff get under his skin.

[JoePhilly]

87. Ron Paul drops a bomb!!

[oberliner]

88. Paul and Newt are the only ones who are occasionally coherent

Perry and Romney do not come across "presidential" - whatever that means.

Bachmann and Santorum similarly seem off.

Again, just talking in terms of presentation, not ideas (which are all repugnant).

[demtenjeep]

89. I missed it

what bomb?

[Tx4obama]

90. I missed it. What was it ?

Earlier in the debate ... Ron Paul declared Medicare unconstitutional and got applause

that was strange!

[oberliner]

91. Gov't is already forcing people to buy insurance via Medicare

I think that is what is being referenced here.

[JoePhilly]

92. YUP ... that was it ...

[Tx4obama]

98. Thanks. n/t

[oberliner]

93. Cannot listen to Romney

He is just so full of crap.

At least some of the other seem slightly more like real people.

[JoePhilly]

94. And the dumb ends.

[Tx4obama]

95. The way the light is shining on the top of Bachmann's hair doesn't look good. n/t

[oberliner]

96. Now they all say Gingrich won and Romney lost

Which is what I think too.

[Tx4obama]

97. Current TV is supposed to have debate analysis coming up at the top of the hour - live stream below
