GOP 9:00 AM MSNBC New Hampshire Presidential Debate
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, January 8, 2012, 8:20 AM
Rise and Shine!
The candidates are back at it this morning in New Hampshire at the MSNBC-Facebook.
Here is the live feed.
Far left crank David Gregory gets his turn at the candidates.
Consider this an open thread for comments.
Newt gives a great answer on working with the opposition. “It can be done with real leadership.”
Even at 9:00 AM Ron Paul sounds a little crazy.
Rick Santorum hits Ron Paul – He has no track record. What he can do is pull our troops from overseas and bring them home.
Jon Huntsman wants to break up oil distribution monopoly. We’ve got to disrupt that one product monopoly.
Romney gets asked about the most important issue facing the country today – discrimination against gays.
Santorum’s excuse for not supporting right to work bill – “It would have changed PA law.”
The moderators are asking predictably far left gotcha questions.
Perry calls Obama a socialist. Truth hurts.
Newt went after Mitt hard. Didn’t back down from calling him a liar.
Debate ends. Time for breakfast.

Another hour or two of the same ol’ platitudes, cliches, shibboleths, and old wives? No thanks.
Conservative to the Core commented:
oops
^old wives’ tales.^
Ron commented:
Good Morning, question – if all of these candidates are opposed to “Obamacare,” why don’t they refuse their Federal plan, which is similar to “Obamacare” and pay their own way in the free market?
Knox commented:
And Perry wants to send our troops bac into Iraq
a former dem commented:
david gregory is not a journalist, he’s just another mouthpiece for the Barry Soetero administration. I am a former lefty, he’s too far left for me and pretends he’s unbiased. That might have worked in the past, but after 2008, independents don’t see these fools as unbiased.

Sasja commented:
Yup, these are not debates. Should be touted as Q&A sessions, in my opinion.
Fuquay Steve commented:
Hey Jim, how’d your interview with ABC go ? I assume well since you carry their water so far and so long. Maybe Maureen Dowd is looking for an assistant, if ABC doesn’t work out.
Ron commented:
Ron Paul is (and maybe Huntsman) are the only guys up there that walk their conservative talk …
retire05 commented:
#14, how so?
Do you think being in Congress 23 years and never managing to get any important legislation passed is walking the walk?
TomI commented:
They should have all walked out when the thing started in protest of the moderator. His horrible comments should have gotten him fired.

SEX, DRUGS & RON PAUL!!
now yo know what’s attracted to
such deliberately deceptive man..

retire05 commented:
#16 no, Tom, they should have all refused to do any debates that are moderated by the likes of the left like Dianne Sawyer and Clinton’s token midget.
Those mods are not trying to inform the conservative voter who to select. They are just providing fodder for the Obama campaign by trying to get the candidates to go after each other. It was pretty clear last night that Sawyer and her monkey on a string did not intend to let anyone lay a glove on Mittens. All it was was a program to let the nation see just how crazy Ron Paul is and be able to say “See, this is what you get with Republicans.”
What is the point of these useless debates? Nothing. Just a ploy to get air time for those left wing media types that see their ratings in the toilet.

Red commented:
Huntsman actually compared his service as an Ambassodor at the request by Barack Obama to that of the volunteer of any one in the military. Really?
He really thinks that is the same type of service?
What a buffoon.
Having actually lived in NH at one time, I find that I actually got more questions answered by candidates by actually going right up to them on the streets and asking point blank. I can recall meeting W, Wesley Clark, McCain, Joe Liebermann, … etc … and even Howard Dean even though my friends thought I was going to get into a free for all asking him real questions.
The fact is I got more legitimate answers face to face than any of these debates that become to repetative. That and I got to filter out the liberal MSM bias of questioning.
Kermit commented:
#5 Ron question – if all of these candidates are opposed to “Obamacare,” why don’t they refuse their Federal plan, which is similar to “Obamacare” and pay their own way in the free market?
Huh?
Making several false statements in the form of a question does not make you appear sincere or intelligent.
retire05 commented:
Let me see if I understand Santorum’s logic; he voted against a Federal right-to-work law because it would have been in direct conflict with PA law (that panders to union goons) but had no problem voting for Medicare Part D or No Child Left Behind that also changed PA law?
Tell that to a Democrat, Rick, they’re not real bright to begin with.

Yes. Didn’t you know that “it’s a man’s life in the Diplomatic Service?”
The training is every bit as rigorous as Marine recruit training. The receive training in the weapons of diplomacy such as “Proper table etiquette,” “Wine vintages,” Foreign languages (“Please pass the sweet and sour pork” in 32 languages, including Austrian), “Diplomatic Notes.,” “Diplomatic Post-its,” “Memo addressing,” “Use of proper salutation and flourished signatures,” “Proper procedure in document burning,” “Color coordinated blindfolds,” “proper wine and champagne glass selection,” and the ability to “field strip local mistresses in less than 30 seconds.”
Additional topics include: “Dress codes – are the stripped pants still necessary?” “Proper limo entry and exit,” “limo flag protocol,” “Ignoring local traffic laws,” “Marine Corps guards, are they just pretty faces or do they have sinister roles?” “Combat Condom Usage,” “Proper use of Diplomatic Pouch to avoid Customs,” and proper usage of the Embassy Concierge for diplomatic spouses.
At the end of 13 weeks of rigorous training, all Professional Diplomatic Service Trainees participate in a 56 hour, non-stop exercise, involving close coordination with allied and opposition diplomats in a United Nations setting. The “Cordon-Bleu” is a 56 hour non-stop soiree of diplomatic parties, dinners, midnight assignations, with emphasis on lack of sleep, alcohol consumption, and repeated sexual liaisons.
Successful completion usually results in a prosperous and joy-filled career in some of the finest embassies and diplomatic resorts in the world and the opportunity to meet and greet the world’s nobility and international entertainment stars with back stage passes.
After completing diplomatic assignments, the Diplomat will be qualified to to run for high elective office.
Even though the Diplomatic Service is open to both genders, the motto of the Service is (and remains) “It’s a man’s life in the Diplomatic Service.”
Georga Mae Collins commented:
Newt’s the one who should be president , but I guess “stoning” is still a way to “execute” in this country.
Molon Labe commented:
Damn, Craig is using the Ron handpuppet now. What a bad joke.
Molon Labe commented:
Santorium should address clearly why he didn’t support right to work and how he’d votte in the future. If that is the only charge against him compared to Romney, Perry and Newt, I can support him.
Santorium is a better conservative than the RINOs running.
Reaganite Republican commented:
Santorium?
Maybe you meant ‘sanitarium’ lol
Molon Labe commented:

I loved Thomas Sowell’s perspective so much I wrote about it here. I wrote here that Mitt got gored by reality during this morning’s debate.

Molon Labe commented:
The questions asked during this debate were a bad joke. The MSM should not be allowed to handle these debates. I found Romney’s lies both pathetic and reaching new heights. Newt mopped the floor with him.
The only thing inevitable abiout Romney is that he falls short of McCains brillance.
