Republican Debate live thread Jan 23

I think Romney's "I did not inherit anything" claim is really disingenuous. His upbringing gave him incredible advantages, regardless of whether he actually had a trust fund.

Yeah! Destructive Capitalism!

 

[Salt Jones]

Destructive Capitalism means no American auto industry and banking collapse.

He didn't inherit anything. He gave his inheritance to charity.

Nothing disingenuous about it.

Keep up the side narrative, Lonelaugher. Its hilarious.

No it means the auto industry declares bankruptcy and restructures to become a profitable business.

Ops newt caught in a lie again!!!

Gingrich's answer suggests that tried to come as close as possible to the legal definition of lobbying. I wonder if that answer will haunt him.

You guys are great for trying to hook me up, but my connection to the internet is very light-weight and I've never had a reason to tweet.

I keep abreast with the fine commentary here and I'll drink to whatever's on special

Yup, Mitt and Newt need to prove the other one is more progressive than the other.

Well, this certainly deserves its own thread. My basic problem is that I think if one took an infant Mitt Romney and sent him to a random American family he would not now be a mega-multi-millionaire running for President. He seems to be suggesting that he pulled himself up his own bootstraps simply because his Dad didn't (apparently) write him a check, or at least not one that he cashed.

Newt defends Medicare Part D.

love that it's no booing or cheers.

Looks like Florida is a bit more mature.

Gods waiting room.

Living there gives new understanding to that idiom.
