You're welcome, and it was a good debate. I think it being down to the "final four" has enabled the candidates to get more of a chance to make their points, and last night they did.

At least the losers of Rick Perry, Michelle the Mouth, and Huntman have left the national stage and crawled back to the rocks from which they crept.

Ron-NutBar has no chance of getting the GOP nomination and very well might run on his own ticket.

Gingrich will destroy himself soon by being Mr. Mean. The press is going to castigate him. He is just a slimeball, anyhow.

Santorum is the local Jesus freak who thinks that the US should not have ordinary birth control products available to the public. It was really comical to hear his answers on that in the previous "debate". He was trying so hard to say "only by a doctor's orders for the safety of the mother" but could not get it out of his mouth correctly. PHARMA is going to fight him over the issue of contraceptives.

That leaves Mitt. Well, better than the others but still not a winner.

Compared to Romney's knowledge and skill in executive management, economics, finance, budgeting and productivity, Obama is still in diapers.

Newt asked his former wife to honor his request for an "open-marriage". Exactly what did he mean by that? Read the link I have posted on the subject - and it shows again what a slimeball that Newt is. Oh yeah, she was suffering from a serious medical condition at the time.

Good going, Newt. The wife is seriously ill, cannot "perform" to your perverted satisfactions, so you go out and find a younger, prettier thang.

Rubicon,a question...just what is newt going to do to "reset our defense and foreign policies? What is wrong with them now? How have they failed? Maybe I missed it but I don't remember him talking about concrete plans.

What a hate-fest from you libs. It's hilarious and sad.

Pious indignation and name-calling by richie, how disappointing, and sad!

Coming out as a liberal. suprise!!, surprise!!

Coming out as a jackass. Surprise!! Surprise!!

I could and should report your attack on me. It could get you suspended. I'm quoting it so even if you delete, it's still here.

I made a general statement, and you in your apparent obsession with things I post (thank you for your interest) decided to take it upon yourself to chastise me even though I only mentioned "generic" liberals and not you in any context.

I naturally assume you must be a liberal evidenced by your discomfort to my posting.

NOW, you call me a jackass.

Way to go big guy. You feel better now? You think you raised people's opinion of you?

As I said once before. You just demean yourself.

LOL. I have spared with this character for several years. I will say, be careful as he is an expert word smith with the ability to poke at you repetitively until he gets his wish, that being frustrating you to anger. I have learned to see through his silly schoolyard bully tactics and laugh it off. I am not sure even he realizes how sarcastic and hateful he is at times.

"Hateful"??.......Again with you. Where did I spew hate at anyone. It seems to all be coming at me from childish weissenbach and now again from you. It's amazing how the people who complain are the very people who are the perpetrators.

Sarcasm is a time honored debate strategy. You being overly sensitive to any criticism, which is mostly generic, does not make me "hateful".

I mean to hit a nerve when I post. But uncontrolled public anger is not my problem, but yours.

Sorry Richie, but in my opinion when you drive someone to anger purposely, then I would classify that as hateful. You have done just that to so many folks on this board especially liberal folks, but some conservatives as well. I cant speak for you, but I am curious why you get a kick out of someone Else's emotional stress. I find it much easier to take the high road. Just saying.

Hey Eweissenbach and Villager II, let's all be careful and not banter around words like "hateful" or "jackass". Our fellow posters on this forum, for the main part, are real decent guys just like us. Some are misguided in their views and think in the Republican mindset but that is no reason to call them names. Save the name-calling for their candidates who do not have a clue.

On a personal level, the few posters I have had the opportunity of meeting, I have found them all to be very nice guys and most have a sarcastic sense of humor - just like I do.

RichieLion does not try to crawl under your skin like a few others did to me and then I did retaliate - not to my well-being. He like to jab and jibe but mostly have a good time. He is very good natured on most subjects. Best yet, he prefers bar-brand bourbon instead of name-brand.

Sorry, RichieLion if I let it out that you are a real decent guy instead of the weird guy at the end of the street with the Ann Coulter blow-up doll.

Sorry if I hurt your feelings.
