After an evening of debating? I guess Meet the Press didn’t think we could live without another debate after 12 hours. It was a bit spicier, and Romney took some hits early on. I think they’re exhausted and cranky. Huntsman sounds like he’s coming down with something. Anyway, for those who didn’t bother, enjoy.
Newt Gingrich
1. “I know the red light doesn’t mean anything to you because you’re the front runner.” Thanks for laughing even though I’m serious. Seriously tired and bitter.
2. Environmental Solutions Agency. No, it is not like the EPA because they suck. Mine won’t be all about punishment. Gotta make business want to stop polluting.
3. Do you know what the Washington Post’s “Four Pinocchios” means? That Romney is a liar.
Jon Huntsman
1. Mittens pissed me off. You dogged on my service as ambassador. I will now use my stern tone.
2. There are no sacred cows. Medicare and Social Security? Be afraid Seniors. Be very afraid.
3. The American people are looking for a unifier. Crap. I should not have used anything Obama has used.
Ron Paul
1. Entitlements aren’t rights. We want to help the poor, but the real people who are getting the entitlements are banks and the military industrial complex.
2. As President, it’s going to be tough to change our foreign policy of 100 years. But if we don’t, it will be the death of America. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
3. I will continue to preach the gospel of Liberty. Libertarians are here. And we’re here to stay, baby!
Rick Perry
1. I’m going to mention the Tea Party as many times as I can. I have to get them to love me as much as Social Conservatives do.
2. The ones who will feel pain are the bureaucrats of the Departments of Commerce, Energy, and Education that we’ll do away with. Yay! I remembered all three this time.
3. Obama is a Socialist. Yeah, I said it. What are you going to do about it?
Mitt Romney
1. Natural gas! Yes, it’s alternative energy, but even a Conservative can support this one. Well, maybe not Perry.
2. In MA, I appointed gay judges and a member of my cabinet was gay. But ix-nay on the gay marriage-ay.
3. Dude! I can’t direct PAC ads. You know that. You’re just jealous that I’m getting their support.
Rick Santorum
1. If my son told me he was gay, I’d love him just as much as I did before he said that. Then, he’d be on the first plane to Marcus Bachmann’s reparative clinic.
2. Ron Paul is a loser who’s done nothing of importance and has no friends in Washington. I’ll need extra security on my way out today.
3. We can’t live with a nuclear Iran because they’re Mus-…uh, a theocracy

Wow! A two-fer. This is great.

Since we got a two-fer, I had to give a two-fer. Seriously, though. Why two debates in a row? That was just weird.

I kept waiting for Newt to attack and the media talks about how contentious the debate was….if that was a bomb throwing Newt…then he throws like a girl….(no offense intended)
January 9th, 2012 at 7:36 PM
Ahaha none taken. Newt is sarcastic and uses humor to throw his “bombs.”
January 9th, 2012 at 5:39 AM
Newt drinks bitters, he lives bitter, he’s just plain bitter. He can’t understand why the entire world doesn’t believe he’s the Savior.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:39 PM
Yeah, he hasn’t taken his fall from #1 well. He is good for one-liners, though.

I didn’t see the debates; didn’t miss em. Did miss you…glad you’re back

Thanks Hansi!

“Seriously tired and bitter.” — omg that made me laugh. Sooo true.
The Sunday morning one was playing at the gym while I was there – and my favorite parts were the “you can’t call me a liar cause you’re a liar” fight between Mittens and Newt, and Santorum’s complaining about Iran’s dangerous theocracy – while describing his own world view (only with the word Allah in place of Jesus).
Socialist is kinda a big word for Perry. I bet he had to practice.

It got really weird with that whole “He’s right there. Tell him he’s a liar” thing. I think they were really tired from the night before. VERY good point about Santorum!
Thanks for reading and commenting!

You know, I’m really starting to worry about the fact that I agree with the Libertarian nut-job more than I agree with the New England
liberalconservative.
