I will work to re elect Obama before I ever vote for Gingrich. Obama is a way better bet than Gingrich and I will go out of my way to make sure he is never elected

no one is winning because no real issues are being debated

Don Woodford 12/16/2011 3:51:46 AM
@Glen, well thanks for moderating. Fox blows. Wallace and Cavuto are smug. Please tell Scot I said hi.

All I heard from the heckler was "Federal reserve," which means it was a Paul supporter. #IowaDebate

RT @chrisgeidner: Bachmann is 100 percent pro-life "from conception to natural death." So, she opposes the death penalty? #iowadebate

It is apparent that these people are woefully inequipped to lead us. The 2-party system and these clowns specifically could be the demise of our country. With the knowledge base that we ALL have now, to debate fiction is silly. We need to update the system. This is embarassing to our country.

Romney is the only one who will beat Obama

@M25 good luck trying to keep obama in office you'll eventually be out of a job if he gets re elected and broke ..won't have to worry about helping anyone

Gingrich pretends he doesn't dish it as much as he takes it.

tauro 12/16/2011 3:54:22 AM

The debate is winding down as the candidates are asked if campaign has been unfair to them, with questioner noting that Reagan commandment was thou shall not speak ill of fellow Republicans.
they all pretend to a point

gordy 12/16/2011 3:55:09 AM

Huntsman: Notes he worked for Reagan, and says he would have appreciated debate between candidates unless it is respectful.
It is well known how much Ronald Reagan hated Barrack Obama!
