CNN Debate

Here we go again. The next debate is Wednesday night on CNN at 7:00 p.m. It's been awhile, so I'm ready for this one. Interesting that it's on Ash Wednesday.  I wonder if the two Catholics will have ashes on their foreheads????? So, if you're up for it, I'll be ready to blog at 8:30. Who's in?

126 comments:

  1. I'm in and yes, actually looking forward to it. I will be starting at 830p as usual.

  2. I still need to check church services times. I will let you know whether or not I can be locked and loaded by 8:30. If not, I'll catch up, but even with a 7:00 service time, I should be ready to go by 8:30. I'll text Katie. Mattie, we'd love to have your snarls, too.

  3. Seriously Mattie? It's Ash Wednesday. Couldn't you at least eat a token shrimp today?

    ReplyDelete
  4. Amen, son. Armed and dangerous.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Again, I hate the term "hashtag"

    ReplyDelete
  6. A bold purple tie for the Gingrich Zepplin

    ReplyDelete
  7. I like John King. Let's see if I still do after the debate. No ashes. Darn. And here's a newsflash - I'm giving up pop and cussing for Lent. Might be real hard tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  8. No cussing, good luck with that. SHUT UP RON... No ashes, they had to put make up on for tv

    ReplyDelete
  9. Yea, the sitting down looks weird. I love the first question - finally - THE DEBT. And Santorum leads off with entitlement reform. FINALLY!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  10. THE DEBT, AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Good percentages from Santorum, entitlements vs defense

    ReplyDelete
  12. Romney punches Rick, then blathers on...I am so done with him.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Yes. Rush tries to get that through people's thick heads all the time. I'm sick of hearing about Romney's "record." I never did like him, and I like him less and less now as Santorum gets stronger and smoother in his responses.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Romney is full of it, he makes my teeth itch.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I'm done with him, too. In fact, I never STARTED with him.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Newt answers the question with out attacking anyone. Unlike the other three

    ReplyDelete
  17. Let's think of adjectives for Romney. I'll start with insincere. Oh there! Ron Paul is playing my game! He's FAKE!

    ReplyDelete
  18. SHUT UP RON PAUL....He gets older and more crazy as these debates go on

    ReplyDelete
  19. Okay, I'm fast forwarding Ron Paul.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Man I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE Ron Paul...go away

    ReplyDelete
  21. Rick gets the first tea party mention

    ReplyDelete
  22. Sitting the way they are, the candidates are in close proximity to each other. Kind of uncomfortable when they're going after each other. Wow. Gotta hand it to Rick for going after the Holy Grail - social security.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Side comment as Romney blathers. I have been impressed with Rick for several weeks now. He handles himself well and he seems very comfortable in his speeches and in his interviews. He has really grown on me.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Sick of Romney's record...I'm pro life, I'm pro Catholic, blah blah blah. Insincere is right, I don't believe him

    ReplyDelete
  25. I have ashes on my forehead. I did not get the debates taped so I have no idea what's going on. Matt's comic below was hilarryous.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Newt wheels the question back to Arizona

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oh and Boo Boo just walked down stairs, grabbed a book and sat in his dads chair. She's so dang cute I'm letting him.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hi Kate, yeah I loved Matt's comment. No ashes for me, sorry

    ReplyDelete
  29. This debate is not going well. Way off topic/issues now. Earmarks? Really...

    ReplyDelete
  30. No ashes for Mattie, either. Hi Katie! I don't want to hear about ear marks. Let's get back to medicare and social security and the debt.

    ReplyDelete
  31. A debate of infighting, no ideas

    ReplyDelete
  32. Once again, we're thinking alike, Terry. Who the heck is going to stop the earmarks anyway. MOVE ON!!!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Infighting, infighting, infighting, and the natives are getting restless...me too

    ReplyDelete
  34. OMG! The crowd boos and Romney folds. Obama will eat him alive.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I picked up Evan a rice bowl from church. He started putting pennies in it and I was trying to explain the purpose of the rice bowl. Then I started asking him questions. I said, now, who is this money for? "Grammy and Pop Pop"

    So, then I just said, no it's for the him (pointing to the little boy on the box) and now Evan wants to meet him, wants to know his name, where he lives, where are his parents, why doesn't the bank give him money.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Come on John King. Get ahold of this.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Demogotcha fight, bless you Newt.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Does anyone care about my rice bowl??

    ReplyDelete
  39. King is not getting ahold of this because he doesn't want to. Them infighting and arguing over menutia helps BHO

    ReplyDelete
  40. Oh, I'm watching Idol as well. I like the Heejun Han.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Yes, we LOVE your rice bowl story! You're right Terry. Anything for BHO. Paul disses congress all the time. Guess what, Ronnie! You're a part of Congress!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Rick is going mushy, "on principal" he disagreed...

    ReplyDelete
  43. Rick is fading under the spot light of "front runner." I am really wanting to like him, but in the debates I don't feel it.

    ReplyDelete
  44. American Idol rocks this year. I like that guy, too, Katie. I haven't watched all of it yet, Katie, so don't give it away. "Nice try" says Romney. He's just snotty.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Romney is going to win by the skin of his teeth only to get clobbered by BHO. Come on House and Senate control

    ReplyDelete
  46. Yea, Rick got in the weeds there for awhile. I think he'll come back. I still think he would do better against BHO than Romney would. What do you think about that Terry?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Yeah, Rick would go after BHO but I am still not sure about him. Newt 1, Rick 2, Romney 3.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I don't think that Romney understands what BHO is all about. Rick does. When Romney starts his condescending attitude toward BHO, it will be ugly and awkward. Once again, Newt brings clarity.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Newt is doing a good job of making about BHO and his ideas. The others are infighting.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Good call, when Mitt goes snotty on BHO it will back fire on him BIG TIME

    ReplyDelete
  51. I also like the Asian girl, Jessica Sanchez (yes Sanchez but I'm telling you I thinks he's Asian). I'm voting 100% Asian in Idol this year.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Look at Rick shake his head on the birth control issue.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Officially skipping Ron Paul...I cannot stand listening to him anymore. Even when he is right I cannot take it.

    ReplyDelete
  54. She's/he's. Goodness I can't get it straight. Okay, I'm out. I need to put Boo Boo back to bed.

    ReplyDelete
  55. That's twice in a row that Newt takes the debate to Obama. Whoa! Mitt goes after George S.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Birth control is the biggest non-issue

    ReplyDelete
  57. Yup, Newt spins the question correctly. NEWT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Yup, Mitt spins the question correctly as well. He's probably pissed Newt beat him to the punch

    ReplyDelete
  59. Well, the issue isn't birth control at ALL!!!!! It's a freedom of religion issue. Heck yes - fast forward Ron Paul!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Rick spins it to a culture issue. Children raising children.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Good answer Rick. Just because I talk about it doesn't mean I want government to fix it.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Rick talking passionately. He gets points there. Mitt is not capable of talking passionately like that.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Mitt's doing well on this one, too. Every time they bring up birth control, they need to redirect to the REAL issues. Don't take the bait! You watch - Mitt is going to get accused of racism on part of his answer to this question. They are brave enough to take on family issues. King is taking every opportunity to stir up a fight. I'm so sick of that.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Yup, King is stoking the infighting

    ReplyDelete
  65. Mitt talking Catholic church and adtoption. About 3 debates after Newt raised the topic.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Newt's purple tie goes along with Lent. There he goes -the coercion of the state. Bingo. Throws in "abyss." Nice.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Have you heard about the Paul/Romney coalition? It's on full display tonight. Paul is going after Rick, not Mitt. It's SOOOO obvious tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Yup, Mitt scared and making deals. Paul is Mitt's attack dog, ignoring Mitt and Newt.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Heaping on Rick, Mitt would and will crumble when the weight gets put on him.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Wow! Even visually, there it is. Paul on his right, Romney on his left, and the Paul and Romney camps are in cahoots. This is a BIG test for Rick. If he can weather this, he'll come out stronger. He may not be giving the best answers, but he's not letting them of the crowd get under his skin. He's keeping his cool.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  72. They've also got their monkeys in the crowd. Rick is holding up well.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Good call, Rick is getting squeezed...

    ReplyDelete
  74. Mitt blames Rick for Spector and Obmamacare....WOW

    ReplyDelete
  75. HAHAHA Rick slaps Mitt with Dukakis

    ReplyDelete
  76. Romney is snotty!!!!! Look at him clap in Rick's face. He's a puke. Nice line on Dukakis. Rick has an answer on Spechter. Wait for it.

    ReplyDelete
  77. This is getting ugly...........Newt and Paul in Siberia

    ReplyDelete
  78. Every conservative worth his or her salt KNOWS that supreme court nominees are one of THE most important issues!!!! Romney, you aren't a conservative or you would understand that.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I think the sitting has created the shouting. It's about proximity and being more relaxed. Have them stand. CNN created this scenario.

    ReplyDelete
  80. CNN is loving this, win for BHO. Newt is killing it, but the fireworks going off next to him are dwarfing him.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Good Lord, yes. We have 4 states on the border. Let those governors get in on this thing. Good answer on the border, Newt.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I want someone to go back and see how many things Mitt says he will do on day one. He better make changing days to 36 hours his day one executive orders to make it possible for him to get all his day one things done.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Well, it was Santorum's turn to get hammered. He is the frontrunner now. He HAS to handle it. I'm not so sure we've had any great moderators yet. Fox wasn't a whole lot better.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Newt is the only one not taking the bait, spins every question back to BHO

    ReplyDelete
  85. Yup. Newt is relaxed and on point tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Rick goes all Dan Rather with "Courage" Newt nails it again.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Women in combat. They are laying the 2 by 4s to Santorum tonight

    ReplyDelete
  88. I thought Newt was going to say conservative. Missed opportunity for 3 of them.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Oh yea. This is Rick's baptism by fire. Didn't like his courage word, either. And he should have said courageous, not courage. I just passed gas.

    ReplyDelete
  90. ffffffffffffffftttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

    ReplyDelete
  91. I look forward to your comments more than theirs, Terry. Newt bringing it back to BHO again. Good response on the risk factor in our world today. So true. Newt calling BHO the most dangerous president on natl. security. LOVE IT!!!

    ReplyDelete
  92. I say that and then you give me a fart noise. Good grief.

    ReplyDelete
  93. John King tries to go to gas amid a question of Iran and nukes. Make the gas issue a seperate topic. Not liking King and CNN tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Ron Paul is fuming on Iran. I gotta listen to his answer now.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Finally someone goes after Paul's lunacy. Newt again. Santorum's people aren't very vocal in the crowd. Newt's are more vocal. You're right. Gas???? Mitt reacts to that appropriately.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Paul is CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  97. Certifiable. I am NOT going to listen to him again. Seriously. I'm done.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Rick and the others do a good job of pointing out the schitzophrenic nature of BHO's middle east policy. Here, not there, over here, but not over there.

    ReplyDelete
  99. "Proflic proliforator" ffffffffffffffftttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

    ReplyDelete
  100. Hey. I liked that. He said it right. And it's good alliteration, too. Did smiley Bretey teach you that. Or Hoopy?

    ReplyDelete
  101. Politics is a team sport....tough to swallow but true

    ReplyDelete
  102. They're making nice now. Nothing like an Iranian madman to give us a kumbayah moment.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Education reform? That's easy. Dump the federal dept. of ed.

    ReplyDelete
  104. You're ahead of me. The team sport comment. Is that going to come back to haunt him?

    ReplyDelete
  105. Wait for Newt, he nails it. Yes/no on the team sport. He is right, sounds terrible, but it is true.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Race to the top sucks. Charter schools - yes.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Amen on the teacher unions! It's a travesty!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  108. Newt, still on board
    Mitt, asshole (you can't say it cause of lent but I can)
    Rick, bloodied and still not feeling him
    Ron, Loco McCrazy and I am done listening to him

    ReplyDelete
  109. Newt got his talking points in on the misconception question, but he did answer it.Romney is an ass. He wasn't answering the question and he never did.
    It was all talking points for him. He is an ass. Period. That's not cussing. It's the truth.

    ReplyDelete
  110. I was writing my "ass" comments before you called him an a-hole. We are, once again, right in sync. Fun evening, Terry. Night. Night.
