Alright, here we go. Perry basically just changed his answer on Social Security.

Romney got a sick burn on him.

Edit: A link would be a good idea. I am stupid http://www.youtube.com/foxnews

    So Newt, are we gonna be raising tax rates back to the 90s rates then?

    First Answer: Abolish the federal budget of education. Great.

    Oh and BTW, http://www.youtube.com/foxnewschannel?feature=ticker for the debate. It's good for a laugh, as long as none of these loonies are ever allowed anywhere near the white house.

    Republican crowd applauds abolishing the department of education.
    Then they applaud privatizing schools and making the goverment just give Pell Grants to everyone.
    Not sure how THAT works.

    Then Ron Paul points out they just passed No Child Left Behind a few years ago. LOL oh Ron Paul.

    Lol, points to Romney for his 'nice try' burn on Perry.

    I love how Bachmann gives a new reason that she got into politics, which is always whatever she's talking about at this particular minute.

    Perry is like a small child up here. "MOMMY, I SAW MITT HANGING OUT WITH OBAMA AND YOU TOLD HIM NOT TO. <SMUG>"

    @Thanatos her fence is quite possibly the most realistic job-creating plan I've heard from the GOP so far.

    To be honest, it's really his only strategy right now, because he is about to get hammered on.

    She also wants to ban all government tax money that goes towards the children of illegal immigrants. AKA, citizens.

    It's kinda sad, you know Romney doesn't actually believe that bullshit, but it's a cheap way to hit Perry so he's jumping all over it.

    It's funny how fox news has basically decided that the debate is just between Perry and Romney, with only the only occasional mention of other candidates.

    Perry sounding surprisingly sane for once. Other candidates all salivating.

    Sadly I don't think we can handle a Primary thread, so this is the thread we deserve.

    They kept using the term "magnet" to describe things that attracted illegal immigrants.

    I really kinda love the "Don't build a fence, because it will make it harder for people to go Galt."

    At least he knows his supporters.

    They moistly come out at night, moistly.

    LOL, I'm actually rather enjoying this moderator. He may be a Fox News schill, but at least he's calling Ron Paul on his stupidity.

    And Ron Paul gets the solution to illegal immigration: make the country so shitty, that Mexico starts to look good.

    i am now resisting the urge to do a google search for 'santorum'.

    I mean, if the rest of his platform wasn't loathsome, it would actually be something to vote for him about.
