NBC New Hampshire Debate Open Thread
Stretch is moderating. Facebook is co-sponsoring. But I promise you no sense will be made.
Leading into this debate, Facebook has been carefully gauging the mood of voters in both Iowa and New Hampshire, but also across the country. By using Facebook, users have been commenting on the Meet The Press page and asking exactly what they want to see in the debate. Also they've been talking with each other too as they post comments. Facebook and NBC have also been asking voting-age users in specific key areas what they think are the key issues going into the debate:
Economy 58%
Federal Deficit 19%
Healthcare 11%
Illegal Immigration 6%
Foreign Policy 5%While the core of the data is coming from people they surveyed in New Hampshire and Iowa, they are allowing anyone to pose a question to the candidates on the Meet The Press Facebook page.
The debate will be streaming on NBC, MSNBC and the Meet The Press Facebook page.
Let us know if you see any clipworthy moments.
He is giving romney a platform...to refute critizism...Fareed will be the better watch!
Newt says with Newt as the candidate that Obama will have a hard time smearing his way back into office. Really?
Romney says something about his plan to get the economy going. has anybody seen or heard his plan?
Santorum tears Romney a new asshole except that Santorum fails to mention that the voters of Pennsylvania voted him out by 30 points. Oops.
Newton tells Shitt to drop the pious baloney.
Perry asks, "who is it that can beat Obama...." Hint; Not you Perry.
...Tool, and Alfred E. Neuman look-alike. Anyone want to debate that?
"What? Me worry?"

always weighs heavily on Gergory's mind. Wish he would investigate his wife's connection with Fannie Mae instead.
Huntsman floors Romney by telling Romney he is dividing the country. big applause.
Huntsman also mentions that his two sons are in the military. Hint; romney's sons are not.
Newton is being pious.
Perry decides what questions he will answer. He finally figures out which three departments he would eliminate. Eeveybody laughs and applauds. they are so happy for him. I think he is going to cry. (wiping tears of joy from my left eye)
Perry goes on to say he thins helping people is wrong "headed.'
I'm running out of patience with these assholes.5 more minutes. Maybe 3.
Huntsman says we have to say so long to corporate welfare and subsidies to fix the economy. No applause and Alfred E. Gregory quickly goes on to another question for newton.
Ron Paul supporters are making fools of themselves by spamming it.
No way Afred E Neuman is taking questions from Facebook. Don't insult our intelligence alluding to the fact that your question will be asked. It won't. It is scripted just like everything else.
"Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying..."-------Roger Waters, "Comfortably Numb"
I haven't noticed those questions. I can multi task to an extent but reading those questions and typing and listening is too much.
OK i just noticed one that GE let through...
How will Ron paul get the congress to help him do all the stuff he has said he wil do.
Newton Leroy says that 1/3 of the Democrats voted for the Reagan tax cuts. i'm waiting for how many Republicans voted for the Reagan tax increases. I'll report back with the answer.
Newton just discribed what needs to be done. It sounded a lot like what Obama has done.
What a shame. Got it loaded just in time for the tool to sign off. Hey, at least football will be on earlier this AM...

Nothing for the 99%, just the elite. Bunch of bullshit artists.
Is it the 21st century yet?
Perry is going to tell us two things. three seems to be too many.
ore question askers. First guy asks if Obama's heating oil subsidies cut will be fixed. he should have asked that of santorum.
Why aren't any of these hypocrites, liars, and cheats in Church, instead of playing politics like little boys? Right wing my ass.
Is it the 21st century yet?
Paul says not help the poor.It is bad economicly and then goes on about supply and demand of money.
Romney says the states should help poor people. Like that is going to change anything. He says now that the heeating oil help does not reach poor people. WHAT???
but don't you think it would have been nice to say when the debate will happen??
One of Romney's best friend is gay (or something to that effect).

Romney is asked when was the last time he spoke up for gay rights. he says, "right now." No followup and the questions goes top Santoum.
Santorum says he is respectful to people of other persuasions. Says he would love his gay son. does not say he would enroll him into Bachmann's Husband's(wife's?) pray away the gay deal.
Unions, oh my. right to work right to work right to work right to work right to work
It's so frustrating that none of the journalists will ever ask Romney about ENDA. Romney says he has not changed his position on gay rights, but he is not being honest. As a candidate against Ted Kennedy in 1994, Romney said in writing that he supported ENDA at the federal level to prohibit employers from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation. But he later squirmed out of it by saying it is OK for states to have ENDA at the state level.
When Romney says gay rights is an area where he has not changed his position, he is lying. The media does not seem to understand the issue enough to ask a pointed question about it.
I'm done. i can't take it anymore.
the less concerned I am that BO will lose. This is going to be a lesser of two elections for almost every voter. I can see how people will vote for BO because they hate MR, and vice versa. I can see how people might vote for BO because they still love him. But I cannot fathom anyone voting for MR because they love him. It's the economy. If it's terrible in November, MR wins, but it will be a very very demoralized and angry electorate.
Huntsman had a huge cheer after calling MR a divider. Good for him. Did they bus in some sane people for this debate. Also, why am I watching this at 7 a.m. on a Sunday?

under Obama, and shame on Shittens to using it as an opportunity to slam Obama.

How about "Therefore I promise you no sense will be made"?
Can Shittens answer ONE goddamn question directly? Apparently not.

I couldn't stomach the anti-gay bigotry. What a failure of journalism to not call out the bigotted anti-gay claims. There is plenty of scientific data disproving theseasshats. Oh. That is right, science has no place in the rethug party
Time after time, he couldn't wait for his answers to end. Just sayin'...

The only adult up there seemed to be Gov. Huntsman... I wouldn't say I'd never vote for him... specifically because he's played pretty close to the vest, or maybe it's that the moderators of these things know that it's only the batshit crazy that'll sell the soap and cornflakes... but I would really like to hear more from the man... at the very least, I could see myself sitting down with him over a cup of Ovaltine (he is LDS, after, even if I am not), and listening to him... the only one up there that doesn't pontificate, snark or go full-on dumbass... in short, a reasonable, intelligent man I might learn something from, even if he doesn't have my vote.
Yes, and I'm so ashamed and I feel so soiled... I actually watched this debate... /smile/... just because I love my wife and she decided to walk on the dark side and watch this thing.

Don't be fooled by Huntsman. He's a card-carrying BushCo employee, like Bob Gates was, that's why he was installed in China. To keep the inside dope coming to the old man.
Be very afraid of this goon. He is not our friend.
Huntsman may well be coherent, but you're right, not a friend.

OK... I admit that I did say that it didn't mean I'd never vote for him... but I rather meant that along the lines that anything in the universe is a possibility... even if that possibility has as miniscule a chance that it might as well be said "It ain't gonna happen."
What my emphasis is that I'd really like to hear more from the man... any opposition candidate that is reasonably sane can bring things to an argument that would not otherwise be spoken... rather like Dr. Paul... I'll give Dr. Paul that... those sane and practical issues he might bring up would never be spoken by any of the other candidates, except, perhaps, Gov. Huntsman.
I said I'd like to sit down with the man one-on-one, and I might just learn something... maybe so, maybe not, but the man's the only one up there that doesn't make my brain itch.

people who hold wildly differing opinions. It does help when they can argue cogently, and put two sentences together without lying or obfuscating, of course...

If they can do so, it does help, puts the conversation on the correct foot starting out, and makes things simpler...
If not, I'd have to spark something up, down a few Stella's, and just sit back and laugh... lol

Obama sent him to china because Obama figured Huntsman could be the sanest one on the block. It took huntsman out of the game.
Remember the 2010 mid term elections? The Tea Party was up in arms about jobs and the Republcians took the house in a landslide of sorts. Then, for more than a year, there is NOTHING about jobs. No legislation, no nothing.
Move to 2012 election and lets watch jobs become important again.. Shouldn't we put their feet to the fire on this?
They did make pizza a vegetable and renamed some post offices. It's not like they don't do anything.
far left loon >.<
