nah, that's just those rednecks in gainesville. no one else in florida wears jorts.

suuuuurrrreeeeeeee...

 

[Amir0x]

At least they both agree on infringing on citizens' rights.

And how!

 

[Tamanon]

Why didn't Williams get MTP? Much better than Gregory

Meet the Press would be a demotion for him I think.

FUCK SCHIAVO IS DEAD LET HER REST IN PEACE!

 

[Zzoram]

But seriously, why is it that every President seems to spend half their time on vacation? Is it because the President doesn't actually do very much?

 

[Miletius]

When he attacks Obama it's tepid, but that's probably only because, again, the audience isn't supposed to react. Double edged sword, I think the audience at home (who this was intended for) is probably happy to hear him attack Obama still.

 

[Purexed]

If youre on the west coast, NBC is using their olympic strategy.

Yup, west coast fail it is. Thanks!

 

[LM4sure]

that bastard didn't go to her bedside?! heartless asshat.

 

[Invisible_Insane]

Pretty much.

Terry Schiavo? The culture war is on again!

Presidents don't spend half their time on vacation. They do get vacations, but it's not at all common. Obama has played less golf at this point in his presidency than Bush, IIRC.

 

[Particle Physicist]

We? You aren't a Floridian Mitt. Fuck off.

He's anything you want him to be, sugar.

 

[Tamanon]

Really, that's the section that gets applause?

 

[AlteredBeast]

Man, Santorum is losing whatever support he had by being incredibly boring and dry in every response. There is no time to be mopey, dude.

 

[mavs]

Not this shit again.

 

[pxleyes]

He's anything you want him to be, sugar.

Suga*

 

[watershed]

I can't find this on tv on the west coast. sucks.

 

[SolKane]

Can't wait until they bring up Elian Gonzalez.

Not true. Bush loved vacation more than work itself, but Obama has already golfed away more than Bush did in two terms.

I can't find this on tv on the west coast. sucks.

you are using the internet, are you really incapable of live streaming it?

I don't think Romney is still in the position in the race where he can take up debate time focusing on Obama. He should focus on his current opponents.

Go after Obama in national situations, go after primary opponents locally.

Mitt's best shot is to continue making it look like he can beat Obama. That is his core competency. He is never going to get the backing of conservatives by going after his opponents on a televised debate in my opinion. He will get that backing by portraying himself as the guy who can beat Obama, end of story.

 

[A27_StarWolf]

Oh come on NBC!!! Space is Newt's thing

 

[Brinbe]

lol romney

Thanks.

 

[Invisible_Insane]

Manned spaceflight is absolutely idiotic and we shouldn't be wasting money on it.

 

[Zabka]

Mitt Romney has quills like a porcupine

 

[Tamanon]

Yeah Mitt, you've used that line already.

"Obama doesn't have a mission for NASA, I believe NASA's mission should be determined by a lot of people"

So...you don't have a mission either.

Educated people < People Trained to kill.

Nothing against the military but I think I will be better for the country to have People with college degrees than soldiers.


We are not at world war 2 anymore!!

 

[Raine]

You guys are complaining about spending too much money...but hey let's put some money into NASA!

 

[LM4sure]

Why the hell is Romney pro-NASA? The private sector can do anything better than government. He should be for the private sector getting into space exploration.

Oh damn, Newt has the right idea. Why didn't Romney say this?!

 

[watershed]

Romney has said the same 3 three times in a row now. He's trying hard to have a "moment" with this answer.

 

[Zzoram]

Manned spaceflight is absolutely idiotic and we shouldn't be wasting money on it.

He doesn't mean it, he's just pandering to Florida.

Not true. Bush loved vacation more than work itself, but Obama has already golfed away more than Bush did in two terms.

A quick Google seems to confirm this. I must've confused vacation and golf.

 

[WillyFive]

Why? How do you even defend that?

 

[Officerrob]

Lets see, more money for defense, more money for NASA, and cutting taxes....yeah, that makes perfect sense

 

[NullPointer]

Fine. Crush our dreams.

 

[SolKane]

MOON BASES!

 

[Miletius]

I think it's a decent question because it asks them to reconcile budget talk with the urge to pander to Floridians. So far though, I don't think anybody has answered it well.

 

[NeoUltima]

PRIZES!

 

[LM4sure]

Golf is work, not a vacation.

 

[speculawyer]

Newt said a whole lot of vague nothing about space.

 

[The Librarian]

Great. So now the Bush tax cuts are a buffer for whatever economic damage terrorism has done.

 

[A27_StarWolf]

Newt said a whole lot of vague nothing about space.

look at the progress virgin made with the prizes to get into space?

 

[Officerrob]

That's because NOBODY lives in North Dakota

 

[WillyFive]

Lets see, more money for defense, more money for NASA, and cutting taxes....yeah, that makes perfect sense

They don't actually intend to do any of these stuff, they are pandering to Florida.

 

[watershed]

Bush tax cuts prevented a deeper recession.

The private sector has zero reason to explore space - it's high cost, high risk, with little incentive. And yes, the government does do things better than the private sector. Health care and exploration are two of those things. The private sector comes in after the government's discovered something out there that will make it enough money to offset the R&D and risk. Then they come into play out of low earth orbit.

 

[Measley]

Not true. Bush loved vacation more than work itself, but Obama has already golfed away more than Bush did in two terms.

Most professionals golf on the weekends.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

This debate is more boring that the SC ones, but much more informative

 

[Invisible_Insane]

Fine. Crush our dreams.

Shouldn't you be working on some giant glass clock on Mars or something?
