It's Florida, we're actually generally more fiscal conservatives here, not really the hawk contingent.

Guns and Military are good, immigration is good, everything else we could give a flip about

Oh I know. I'm a Florida Native

It is a swing state but even still I thought the crowd would be a little more conservative...

 

[Tamanon]

Did Anderson Cooper just shill for another show during a debate?:lol

Eh, it's time to get rid of "Don't ask, don't tell" in the military.

....

Romney....what the hell, you look forward to a time when gays can serve openly....and you say, this isn't the time, since we're at war.....

 

[Y2Kev]

i guess the israeli army doesn't have judeo christian values

 

[Stoney Mason]

Duncan Hunter: "Only conservatives serve in the military"

 

[widgetraf]

I'm going to say it now, the guy who says gays aren't allowed in the military is not going to win.

 

[scorcho]

wow. this response to homosexuals in the armed forces is completely, completely bothering me, and the fact that the crowd applauded it is very disconcerting.

edit: Romney is a fucking hilarious shill. in a time of war homosexuals should not serve openly in the military.

 

[miyamotofreak]

If a draft ever happens I'm a flamboyant homosexual.
EDIT: They killed his mic for making sense. Is the crowd booing? Fuck them.

 

[Ether_Snake]

US vets are already treated like crap (considering the importance given to "supporting the soldiers") it's like the government is afraid of the veterans weight in politics, so they get sidelined.

 

[Stoney Mason]

Romney: "No Gays during a war"

 

[widgetraf]

Romney is bombing. He just refers to advisors for everything.

 

[Grecco]

The Headline News yelow blue lines are fun.

 

[Branduil]

Romney crashes and burns.

 

[womfalcs3]

Romney is bombing. He just refers to advisors for everything.

:lol

Lawyers and advisors

 

[Stoney Mason]

Awkward...

So sad. Republicans should be ashame of themselves on this issue.

 

[widgetraf]

MIC DIES!!!! CONSPIRACY!!!!

 

[Ether_Snake]

I was right!!!!

 

[scorcho]

this debate is...interesting.

 

[Y2Kev]

General Petraeus or General No Gay Us?

 

[siamesedreamer]

Everytime Huckabee speaks he has command of what he's saying. You may not agree with it, but at least he isn't flailing like Mitt...he's done terrible tonight.

 

[Kusagari]

:lol at mic dying.

 

[Tamanon]

The Generals tell you the policy is good and working and we're awesome!

Holy shit....they actually mentioned the Log Cabin Republicans!

 

[widgetraf]

Chuck Norris :lol

 

[miyamotofreak]

Chuck Norris?

 

[scorcho]

from my limited viewing of this debate, Huckabee is really knocking these questions out of the park.

 

[Stoney Mason]

Huckabee is getting smoother and smoother and he's won this debate tonight

 

[Branduil]

Huckabee is very eloquent.

 

[APF]

Romney's response would have made sense if he didn't back away from his previous statement.

 

[Tamanon]

I think this debate might be the true emergence of Huckabee for the Republican party.

 

[scorcho]

here comes Thompson! look! he's folksy!

 

[CajoleJuice]

Huckabee is getting smoother and smoother and he's won this debate tonight

I haven't watched many of the debates, but he has definitely been impressive tonight.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Huckabee is getting smoother and smoother and he's won this debate tonight

Sort of interesting. From a non-American point of view I would have never believed it wouldn't be McCain/Romney/Rudy with Rudy as the elected candidate.

But I still don't believe Huckabee would be "allowed" to become president.

 

[widgetraf]

Mitt dodging the question.. yet again.

Bring back Reaganomics?

 

[perfectchaos007]

Huckabee wins this debate. Mitt Romney finishes dead last. He would have done better if he never spoke like Tancredo.

 

[HawkeyeIC]

Huckabee is only going to go higher in the polls after this debate. If he can pick up Iowa and Keep rising in SC and Florida, he just might win it.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

I'm sure it's been said before, but damn does Romney ever sound like Pat O'Brien. It's like O'Brien's soul infested a man with more hair and Mormon sensibilities.

 

[HomShaBom]

WTF is this mars shit, gtfo

 

[Tamanon]

Yah, humans going to Mars, TOP ISSUE!

 

[widgetraf]

Mars! Discover Prothean technology!

 

[miyamotofreak]

Paul and Huckabee come off best despite both being insane.

 

[scorcho]

I think this debate might be the true emergence of Huckabee for the Republican party.

i remember watching a Meet the Press interview with Huckabee last year and noting that he would make a really strong presidential candidate. his campaign has been horse shit thus far, but he's really making up for it now. CNN also seems to be giving him prime air time.

anyone think Romney is as dissembling and artificial as Kerry was in 04? why couldn't they have run at the same time?

 

[Tim-E]

:lol @ them cutting off the riveting discussion of Mars.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Send Hillary to Mars!

 

[Y2Kev]

hilary :lol

 

[Anno]

There are certainly worse Republicans than Huckabee. I think he's at least (somewhat) honest, which is a rare trait.

Romney, on the other hand, looks like crap.

Huckabee's answer to the space question was surprising, and I agree for the most part.

 

[widgetraf]

Send Hillary to Mars!

:lol :lol

 

[siamesedreamer]

:lol

OMG I <3 HUCK

 

[Stoney Mason]

Romney better be a little scared... Huckabee is like a far less annoying version of him

 

[Ether_Snake]

Huckabee sounds like he got his answers written out in advance for all questions :lol

 

[miyamotofreak]

Send Hillary to Mars!

:lol Hillary got boo-urned but that kind of shit is only assisting her in her campaign.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

Eh, space exploration and experimentation is incredibly beneficial. No wonder that douchebag opposes it.
