Wait, don't tell me, let me guess; truth lost the debate.
Truth? Republicans can not handle the truth. Each GOP debate is like a trip to Fantasyland.
The policies of the Greed Over People party has pushed this country to the edge economic destruction, yet, NO ONE in the media ever points this out. If their policies were so great then why is POVERTY in this country at an all time high? Watergate, S&L scandal and the Bush recession are all tied to GREED and corruption under republican rule. John King asked Newt a very important question but missed the point on why CHEATING on your wife should be discussed in a presidential debate. Cheating and lying are INTEGRITY issues and if you have no integrity in your private life then what should we expect from you in public office. Republicans are a disgrace to American politics and I think the media should a better job on pushing back on bully's like Newt Gingrich.
I couldn't stomach watching all of it-45 mins. and I changed the channel. Disgusting!!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
Why didn't they fact check Ginrich's statement that Obama was the most dangerous President in history? What a bunch of clowns!
I can sum up the FactCheck articles for you:
Santorum's remark totally contradicts the facts.
Romeny's response to abortion was supported by the facts, but he was evasive on everything else.
Gingrich's attempt to connect self propagating dots stretched the facts.
Paul presented his chosen set of facts while ignoring the most important facts.
while i applaud newt for ripping the media, ( could have been staged ), he would not have had the funds to continue, had it not been for Sheldon Adelsons' $5 million donation..now that is the truth..
John King should have countered with how Newt made Clinton's indiscretions front and center on the House floor when he led the Impeachment proceedings while getting banged by his mistress. the media did not bang Mr. Gingrich. His mistress was banging the Mr. Forgiveness Candidate. I am flying high today over Mr. Gingrich's and the audience's total hypocracy over former President Clinton's indiscretions and how they "accept" Gingrich's indiscretions. It is awesome how hypocritical they are.
