Finally, these debates are getting to be worth watching.
Newt panders to illegal immigrants. Romney says ENFORCE THE LAW.
Newt doubles down on pandering and says he wont bust in and deport grandmas.
Newt says Mitt Romney is the most anti-immigrant person on the stage.
Romney whomps back and OWNS. Says not to call someone you disagree with on immigration policy.
Romney calls it “repulsive” to call him anti-immigrant and demands apology. His father was born in Mexico and his father-in-law was born in Whales. He is not anti-immigrant just for supporting American law, douchebag.
My thoughts: Calling someone against illegal-immigration, “anti-immigrant” is like calling someone against shop lifting, “anti-capitalism”. Morons.
RT @AnnCoulter Newt using typically liberal (dishonest) lingo — opposition to amnesty for illegals is now “rounding up grandmothers.”
RT @AnnCoulter about “grandmothers” re: illegal immigration is like talking about rape & incest in argument @ abortion. HOW @ THE OTHER 20 MILL?
The grandmother argument is especially obnoxious considering it rests on the premise that “if you have grand kids you should be excused from law breaking”. Grandmother thieves, drug traffickers and murderers okay too, Newt?
RT @AnnCoulter Newt wants open marriages for Mexican grandmothers.
How is CNN getting past the FCC by airing such a bloodbath?? Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is killing up there. This posts new name: “The Boston Massacre”.

Newt dodges question and says he won’t answer the moderators request that he clarify criticism he made against Romney about a Swiss Bank account Romney had. Newt says to move on to more important issues. The debate moderater then, amazingly, has to badger Newt into answering the question and defending his charge against Romney. Newt still refuses and literally shrugs the question off with a hand gesture. Romney PWN’s again and says “wouldn’t it be nice if people wouldn’t make accusations that they’re not willing to defend here”. Destroyed – Gingrich caves and says yes, he thought the Swiss Bank Account was shady. Romney schools him again and lets him know how blind-trusts work.
Newt Gingrich is either a shameless liar or he literally knows nothing about economic matters. Way less than me – I know what a blind trust is. Why doesn’t Newt Gingrich? Two times he criticizes Mitt Romney for actions going on in his blind trust when – BY DEFINITION – Mitt Romney is BLIND to the handling of the contents of the frigging trust. That is what it is.
Gingrich brings it up AGAIN, saying Romney didn’t know what was in his stock holdings – Romney interrupts saying “of course not – it was a BLIND TRUST”. What the hell is Gingrich thinking? Just relying on people being ignorant of what a blind trust is even after Romney just explained it to everyone? It would be ILLEGAL for Romney to know what is in it. That is literally the entire point: to appoint someone else to manage the contents of your assets specifically so the beneficiaries will have no knowledge of the holdings within the trust.
Gingrich is supposed to be the worldly, big-ideas, historian intellectual and master debater who would cream Obama in a debate if given the chance, yet he can’t even dent Mitt Romney. Why is he still saying Romney should have directed the trust to “not do certain things”? Newt Gingrich is the former Speaker of the House of the united states. I am an improv comedian on the internet. Why am *i* the only one of the two of us that knows that the beneficiaries of a blind trust have no right to intervene in their handling?
Newt-pandermania to Ron Paul supporters: Ron Paul is asked about his health since he would be the countries oldest president ever and Paul said he’s in tip top shape and challenges any of the other, younger, men on the stage with him to a 25 mile bike ride in the heat of texas. Everyone laughs and Newt adds that Ron Paul would have no problem as president because Newt has seen how peppy he is at these debates. Reason it’s pandering bullcrap: Newt said he would not vote for Ron Paul against Obama. Mitt Romney, when asked the same question, said “of course” he would vote for Ron Paul instead of Obama.
Space question: Romney says he wants to bring corporate America and the defense industry together to form a national Space Program that would be worth the expenditure. Says he is NOT for a colon on the moon, referring to something Gingrich has proposed, saying it would cost billions to trillions and he would rather rebuild homes in America then on the gead dayum MOON. Right answer!
Gingrich’s chance of being GOP nominee down to 5.9% on Intrade. Started at 10.0% tonight.
Romney says Obama’s answers to fixing America’s insurance problem is like “Groundhog day all over again”. Excellent line! Spin on the Yogi Bera phrase “it’s like Deja Vu all over again” except now with a Bill Murray cultural reference. Nice!
Rick Santorum is playing it safe and not being a dick. Consequently he sounds less whiny. This is the first attack he’s leveled on the whole debate: saying that Obamacare is the same as Romneycare (false) and Gingrich supported the Obamacare & Romneycare mandate to buy insurance (essentially a tax on just being alive) for 20 years (true).
Romney is answering Romneycare accusations like a champ. I’m watching 4 different Romney-hating right-wing accounts on twitter completely flail and flame out. They’re melting down, unable to admit that the dude is owner whichever of their boys is up there.
HAHAHA. laughed out loud – Santorum gave a teeth gritted terse response to Romneys accurate distinctions between Romneycare in his home state and Obamacare, which Romney says is unconstitutional. Romney answers “first of all, it’s not worth getting mad about”. Essentially, the 2012 election has had it’s first “you mad” moment. AWESOME.
Question on why would your wife make the best first lady. Can’t wait for Newts answer!
Ron Paul is nice and mentions his wifes cookbook and their anniversary.
Mitt Romney, with the best answer, yet agin – says his wife Ann would bring compassion, especially to women in pain. Ann was diagnosed with Multiple Sclurosis in 1998.
Consequentially, so was Newt Gingrichs wife at the time (#2), around the same time. Not sayin Newt divorcer her cuz she got sick but… he divorced her when she got sick. Romney, the Mormon with less wives than the Catholic Gingrich, met Ann when he was 18 and married her in his early 20s and they’ve been inseparable ever since. Sorry folks – but that stuff matters sometimes. This is one of those times. Obama has a perfect looking family. It must be matched with an equally perfect looking one.
Newt Gingrich’s answer…
RT @AndrewStilesWFB: Gingrich leaving door open to appoint a new first lady, if elected.
RT @AnnCoulter Newt got married again during santorum’s answer.
Jk.
Gingrich said Callista would bring an artistic sense to the Whitehorse because she loves the arts, plays the french horn and sings…. um… ya. ok. awesome dude…
Rick Santorum says his wife is smart and pooped out a lot of kids (had 8. 1 died. raising 7). I guess that’s nice too.
Rest of the debate didnt matter. Romney obliterated these jokers. Santorum gave good answers and in another lifetime it would have been a great night for him. Too late. He’s going no where. Romney will win Florida, the primary and beyond.
Erik Erickson is on Red State. big Romney critic but can’t find anything bad to say about Romney so he just says Newt and Romney “hurt each other” tonight. lol. Nice try. Newt got sunk.
“see ya later, Losers”
