145. I read somewhere that Lawrence Walsh was set to issue an

indictment of Reagan for Iran-Contra until Walsh interviewed Reagan and recognized the symptoms of early onset of Alzheimers.

I've never been able to find that citation but, if my memory is correct, it marks Lawrence Walsh as an eminently decent human being.

151. I wonder sometimes who was really running the show under Reagan

remember poppy's "I was out of the loop" moment? I think he lied to congress, and nothing was done about it. Afterwards, we found that he was probably part of the loop. When there's real corruption, it seems on the hill, they all hide their heads like ostriches.

The repugs spent millions of our money attempting to find anything on clinton. Which lie hurt the american people the most? Hint: it wasn't a BJ.

He said, if you have a medical bill that you can't pay the state picks up part of the tab and you pay it back. I guess that would work if your not a disabled paraplegic orphan.

144. 'In '74 he ran for the House . . .

The district had elected only three Democrats in its entire existence and had been in Republican hands continuously since 1895. However, in the massive Democratic wave of the post-Watergate election of 1974, he defeated freshman Republican Paul W. Cronin by an amazing 21-point margin. He was reelected handily in 1976, becoming the first Democrat to hold the district for more than one term. Increasingly popular and well-liked in Massachusetts, in 1978 he ran for and was successfully elected to the Senate, defeating incumbent Edward Brooke by a 10-point margin.

Later that year, he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and in 1984 announced his retirement from the Senate. His seat went to fellow Democrat and 2004 presidential nominee John Kerry. After fighting the illness he returned to politics, and ran for his party's nomination for President in 1992. Until the 1992 campaign, Tsongas had never lost an election. . .

During the early weeks of 1992, things seemed to be going Tsongas's way when one of the potential major candidates, Bill Clinton, stumbled over issues involving marital infidelity and avoidance of the military draft during Vietnam. While Clinton was hurt by these issues, the damage seemed to bottom out several weeks before the New Hampshire primary. While Tsongas was the actual winner in terms of votes received and delegates won, Clinton advisor James Carville tagged Clinton with the label "the Comeback Kid" and claimed that Clinton's campaign was back on track. While ostensibly the front-runner, Tsongas was already considered by many to be behind Clinton after just one primary.

Following the New Hampshire primary, Tsongas was unable to match Clinton's fundraising. Clinton later went on to win most of the Super Tuesday primaries. Tsongas did go on to win delegate contests in Delaware, Maryland, Arizona, Washington, Utah, and Massachusetts, but his campaign never recovered from Clinton's comeback; Clinton won the primaries of most of the more populous and delegate-rich states.'

repugs love them some enemies because even if they haven't served their country, they can do that john wayne, tough guy talk. There's nothing heroic putting on a flight suit strutting around or yelling on a bullhorn on top of rubble, because you didn't take warnings seriously.

And those who have seen the horrors of war, who actually know something about real heroism, they make them into villains with the help of our shilling mcpravda media.

and now any hurt he has done to others or cheating is all now forgiven. What he did, reflects his character, and shows me he has little integrity.

156. and one wonders why some would like to just separate now

these unevolved, compassionless thugs really do need their own stomping grounds. Where they can compete, survival of the most ruthless, corrupt; and the weak can just die. I really don't want to be around such ugly people.

It's amazing that some of these people are the ones who fought keeping life support on that woman in florida who was in a coma; and now, if you can't afford medical you should just die?

125. I just figured out why I like this debate (not the answers - but the debate itself) -

It's because Wolfie is letting each candidate answer each question.

It's not a Romney v Newt showdown. Ron Paul and Santorum are getting their opportunities as well.

I give Wolf kudos for the first time in my life

155. Actually, I think somalia needs some great leaders

to get the country in order. I think these candidates would just fit the bill. I would rather live in europe than a violent, deregulated nightmare like somalia. Oh, and you better pick another place to pick on, europe is the one location I wouldn't be browbeating. You might get the plebes starting to think what most countries in europe, what their taxes pay for and what we get for our taxes.

137. Post-game analysis time Who won? (Other than Obama) --

I think Romney had some good moments, Gingrich never got airborne so I think it was a loss for him, seeing that the polls in Florida are swinging back to Romney.

Overall, I think Santorum did well, I think he IS their most electable. The Goldilocks candidate: not too hot (Newt) not too cold (Romney.) Plus, for a politician, he's relatively youthful AND youthful-looking.

149. No winners; only losers.

Paul didn't substantially lose.

Newt and the others lost big 'charisma' points with their arguments on taxes, sounding angry, and the whole Fannie and Freddie argument and hypocrisy.

It's the hypocrisy, stupid! You can't insult someone on a debate stage for investing in a company when you yourself are investing in the same company (OR working for same company).

3. Huge ass billboards!

2. Ron Paul says that asking about his age may lead to age discrimination BUT...

4. I would love to see he and fat newty race on a bike

6. I was crediting him with a certain sense of irony

20. Exactly. He really isn't. He rails against pork but freely takes it for his district. Not consistent

72. All politicians lie

11. Ooo, good point

14. +1!! Nicely done!!

5. Newt wants an American on the Moon before China.

8. There's already been an American in China

10. Stop the presses!

7. Policitians to the moon, Alice!

9. Ages of the candidates

16. shouldn't Santorum be called Dick instead of Rick ?

53. Gingrich is about as old as Reagan was when he was elected

63. We don't need another 'feeble' president in the oval office ....

145. I read somewhere that Lawrence Walsh was set to issue an

151. I wonder sometimes who was really running the show under Reagan

91. Not to mention that Newt looks like a walking coronary in waiting.

146. Wow, Man on Dog

12. F%CK- they have argued for 5 minutes about putting a man on the moon

15. Check Maddow now. LOL.

32. Watching

13. Mitt: "You're fired!"

17. Yeah...ask Paul about lack of healthcare

18. Paul entered the Air Force in '62? Romney says NH wanted to bury power lines from Canada?

19. Hmmm everyone wants to repeal anything that will provide healthcare to the uninsured

23. and the unemployed woman who asked the question *applauded*

27. noticed...

21. And I will add- I work as a nurse in Texas- 50% uninsured by their employers

24. they are all asses

22. Ahhhh now they're bringing up Romneycare

25. ..and Gingrich supported government healthcare for 20 years..per santorum

26. Newt just said if you don't have a job you shouldn't have health care.

30. Not unreasonable- then the poor will die,replaced by new plebes

31. Repuke health care...

28. So, Ricky, if one has NO insurance...

29. I thought Republicans liked mandates!

33. Not one person on that stage can solve this woman's problem with no insurance

34. Republicans just want us to all work for nothing and die, like workers at a Foxconn factory in China

35. Let's hear about the freeriders riding the insurance welfare plan

36. Romney just did a great job of explaining "Obamacare" There is NO Gov't healthcare!

37. "I wrote a book in 2002, it calls for you and your doctor and your pharmacist to have a relationship

38. Wonder why Rick is going after Mitt rather than Newt

40. I just think he feels Romneycare is an easy target, and he needs an easy target now.

39. You gotta be frigging kidding me! Williard said that the state doesn't give free health care.

41. Tell us about the old days, Ron

42. In Texas, 50% of women having babies are covered by "Government " healthcare... Dr Paul SHOULD know

43. Can't believe the unemployed woman was clapping during their non-answers

45. She can keep clapping on her way to the bus or her car....

52. +1, it's remarkable, isn't it?

143. EXACTLY!!!! The truth, the issues are completely non-issues

44. Gingrich/Rubio...

47. I think that would be the greatest possible outcome

56. One would hope

147. There isn't a clown on this clown car

150. Williard, the Corporate Rat

46. Geez- Now they are trying to virtually blow the Hispanic population

50. y la majoridad in Tejas quien son Hispanicas

58. Yep..thought the same thing as soon as he said it

49. Which one of these assholes is going to be the first one to diss Michelle Obama????

60. I think Newt will be nice

57. Play on words

59. F&CK... now they're bringing the first ladies into the brawl

61. First lady question is a way to avoid offending Newt but to talk about his

64. LOL...gotta say...Newtie loses this one!

62. Whose wife would make the best first lady?

66. haha for a minute I thought Newty was gonna talk about 3 of his wives

68. Yeah, that's how it sounded !!! LOL :) n/t

70. That was NOT the exact wording of the question, was it?
