~ "GOP Debate Reactions" ~




"......Little known fact; during the last GOP debate in Iowa, the RNC held their holiday party at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in DC. There weren’t any TVs among the open bars. So, no one at the RNC was actually watching the debate among candidates vying to be the standard-bearer of the party. Perhaps the RNC has throw parties during all of these debates. How else to explain its continuing acquiescence in letting the legacy media pay inquisitors to its nominees? The GOP field actually did well combatting some of silliness from Diane Sawyer, Snuffleupagas and some guy we’ll never hear from again. But, the American public was short-changed in getting 1 hour and 41 minutes (!) of chatter on issues that almost no one outside of the hard left cares about. (2 questions on the economy…kinda?) Et tu RNC?..." (More)

".....This was one of the best debates for the Republican field, because the candidates finally defeated their media inquisitors (they’re not “moderators” when they demand the Republicans meet left-wing standards). Gov. Mitt Romney absolutely squashed George Stephanopoulos’s attempt to use a bizarre question about contraceptives to cast him and the rest of the candidates as religious extremists. Speaker Newt Gingrich stood up to Diane Sawyer on the issue of gay marriage by challenging the anti-Christian bigotry of the left and the mainstream media. Sen. Rick Santorum challenged the premise of the term “middle class,” insisting that the United States is not a class-based society. It was amusing to watch the post-debate analysis on ABC as the journalists described their dismay that the candidates didn’t do more to attack each other, and to attack Romney in particular. There were a few attacks–Santorum did very well defending his record in response to Rep. Ron Paul–but the candidates have learned that Republican voters will not reward them for playing to the mainstream media’s tune. They know (most of them, anyway) that the main target is Barack Obama, and the candidate that wins will be the one that shows the strongest, most effective contrast to the president...."

Any one of them are better than Obama but I'd rather have the most honest one of them than one that can impress us by his ability to debate and lie to our faces, so my first choice is Rick Perry.

`You are correct..."Any one of them are better than Obama" ...***But I am still torn***....between 2 of them...Perry is fine...but the thing with immigration cools it for me with Perry....

"If you say we should not educate children who come into our state "by no fault" of their own, I don’t think you have a heart,” Perry said

"Romney, who vetoed a similar bill as Massachusetts governor, said Perry’s plan was “like a "magnet" that draws people into this country.”

`Romney noted that children of "undocumented immigrants" in Texas would pay roughly $100,000 less over four years to attend the University of Texas ***than Americans from other states....

"That doesn’t make sense to me," Romney said to applause. "That kind of magnet draws people into this country to get people into the country to get that education, to "get" that 100k tuition break...."

It was a total political move before the immigrant thing was an issue. Happened roughly 10 years ago. Give and take in Texas politics and he should have said that that was what happened. His advisers told him to take a hard line and that was a mistake. Just saying.
