Would any random “citizen” ask Romney the “flip flop on immigration” question?

Mitt made his closing statement a little early.

McCain spinning immigration bill again.  Isn’t a non-citizen in the military a mercenery?

Back to abortion again.  Still waiting for one of them to link that to the judges issue.  Interesting that there hasn’t been a single question about the courts, what with the White House preparing for another unannounced SCOTUS retirement and all.

Rudy steering it back to the war.  Deft, though still defensive, move.

Ron Paul?  Most pressing moral question?  Withdraw from Iraq, of course!  And do nothing about Iran (”Never did anything to us”?  Hello - embassy seizure, Beirut Marine barracks in 1983, all manner of hostage-taking.  “No threat to our national security?”  What does Ahmadinejad have to do, light Paul’s loafers on fire?)

Iran has done no harm to us?

I guess you were somewhere else in 1979 when 444 of our citizens were taken hostage.

Rudy - Government/employer dominated - should pursue “ownership,” HSAs - Dems pushing “socialized medicine”.  He’s on a red meat roll.

Bring down price of prescription drugs?  How about tort reform?  How about deregulation?  How about all the Canadians who have to come down here for surgerys, transplants, etc. they can’t get at home because of health care rationing?

Hunter - buy across state lines.

Single-payer?  This out to be a meatball over the plate.

T. Thompson - a “wellness system”?  Eh.  “Disease management”?  Eh.  Patient bill of rights?  Nah.  First time he’s sounded alive in three debates, though.

Romney talks up RomneyCare.  Personal responsibility, no tax hikes.  Probably the best Republicans will be able to do on a “mommy” issue that just doesn’t favor them.

Speaking of false opposites.  How about tying that back to the energy independence issue?

Rudy’s right.

I’ve often said that that when Bush said, “Mission Accomplished” it referred to the overthrow of Saddam. That was the Iraq War. We performed magnificently.

Where we did screw up was in the aftermath.

Weepy “come home America” question.  Wait’ll Ron Paul gets hold of THIS one.

Oh, geez, Brownback got there first with his partition nonsense.  Boy, that sure worked for India and Pakistan, didn’t it?

Yep, Paul got hold of it….

Rudy - good command of detail - tweaks the media with “Will a positive Petraeus report in September be reported as enthusiastically?”

The final part of McCain’s answer was spot on.

From a woman who’s little brother was killed Iraq.

Maybe I’m jaded but her question seemed a bit - “loaded”.

I wonder if this is another CNN plant?

Anyone?

Hey, they’re all sitting down!  Governor Thompson must be profoundly relieved.

Gotta say Giuliani is in the clubhouse first, with Romney a close second.  McCain sounds like his heart isn’t in it.

None of the small fry have broken out.  Paul must have taken his meds this time.

Rudy’s answer on a Libby Pardon, from K. Lopez:

“Rudy’s Libby Answer Was Excellent — Including When He Scolded Wolf for Playing Throwing the Clock at Him When We’re Talking about “A Man’s Life”

And Fitz is one of his guys. No small thing that he’s as critical as he is.

Larry King and Anderson Cooper?

I’m speechless!

Hell, yes!  So why wouldn’t Hunter answer that question?

Punt, punt, punt, punt - Rudy sez excessive punishment; “a man’s life is at stake”; hey, he was a prosecutor - Romney and Brownback would consider it.

You go Rudy!

Pardon Libby.

“Excessive punishment”, spoken by a former prosecutor.

Romney nukes Fitzgerald! “Out of control prosecutor”.

After saying that they wouldn’t pardon Libby, and after hearing Guilliani saying he would the rest began to recant.
