    "I didn't follow all that, but..."

    ...really?

    What a completely unnecessary comment.

    Everybody's piling on Santorum tonight.

    Very strange.

    He's the perceived frontrunner, they're trying to get him to slip up.

    He's handled himself very well so far, which is surprising.

    Santorum's prepared well before campaigning. Romney should take notes.

    Why did Gingrich, a Conservative, just say that we ought to completely change government and update it?

    That's...that's not what Conservatives do.

    I wonder if anybody will point out that Romney was fighting for the Olympics of a different state than he was governor.

    I like that Romney apologizes to the audience when they boo him.

    Edit: And Santorum doesn't apologize when he's boo'd.

    I think we need a mud wrestling match to settle this issue of earmarks.

    I find it amazing how they can fight over earmarks despite both having no problem with them when it is for shit they like.

    Hey, he only changed his position after the audience expressed their disapproval of his original position.

    Let's get some earmarks up and running to fund that.

    Dear lawd. More Olympics stuff.

    Because the Atlanta Olympics were a huge success, Newt.

    Paul's face when he was not allowed to respond first after Santorum insults him was priceless.

    Santorum could have done way better there. Simply say Romney's approved loads of earmarks too. Don't try to explain the process.

  • CouscousCouscous Registered User regular
    Gosh--Santorum looks terrible in this, even though he has the right side of the argument. Congress does have a constitutional right to direct spending, and Romney had no problem with it until he was running for president.
    Earmarks are going to be a thing despite every fucker except Paul accepting them or using them when convenient, aren't they?

    Paul uses them all the time too.

    I'm surprised none of them realize that no one gives a shit about the details of the legislative process. That stuff is really, really boring. Just say some mean things about Obama and avoid boring details like earmarks.

    He's not going to attack Romney head on. They're BFF's now.

    ohgodddammmnit CNN.

    stop reloading the front page right at the good parts.

    it's a conspiracy, I tell you. Always when Paul is talking.

    Santorum's openly against the bailouts. Is Michigan over? That won't go over well there.
