1) Newt might be a closet racist. Or he might be clueless about people. It doesn't matter, as he's about to slink off the stage in his humiliation...

2) What church has prisoners? I thought you find parishioners at church... Maybe they feel like prisoners if the preacher is lousy. LOL!!!

There's nothing racist about pointing out the vast expansion of the food stamp program by this President. That's simply stating a fact.

Actually, most of the talking heads are saying Newt won the debate. The question is whether it's too little, too late to help him.

Make an effort, show some desire. Do something constructive then maybe you deserve food stamps. To many free riders, something should be done!!!People think the government owes them. The government is the people and we owe you NOTHING!!!

The blatantly racist dog whistles that Newt proudly blew in that crowd of nasty bigoted racist who erupted into enthusiastically approving applause just shows how evil and disgusting the base of the republican Party is. But what was even more telling was Mitt Romney’s wooden pose as he stood there and just smiled without speaking out… here is a Mormon that is constantly subjected to a different kind of bigotry (religious) who didn’t have the courage to call Newt on what he knew was racist rhetoric.

As much as I believe that Juan Williams is a token for fox news, he was the only one in that building with real courage to confront a racist while being surrounded by nasty blood spitting racist. I have a new found respect for Mr. Williams.

What did Americans do before food stamps? There was a time Americans were a proud people, we grew gardens, neighbors helped neighbors, now we want handouts. Too sad!

The words 'racism' or 'hate' have become so easy to throw out when one lacks the intelligence to debate the issue at hand, again too sad!

In a modern society of the concrete jungles of the big cities your delusional solution is for poor families to haul in soil (with what money), and plant seeds (bought with what money) and grow a garden?!?!?!

Unrealistic answers to a problem that the heartless right only adds more suffering to… those good old Christian values on display.

Where is the intelligent debate in calling President Obama “the food stamp president”? Your disingenuous dishonesty revolving around Newts blatant attempts to provoke racist sentiments with language meant to have only one purpose is what is truly sad.

The clown reichwing applaudes when command throws it their crafted bone. The hate-speak heard over many of these, now laborious, debates, reveals the sad, deteriorated state of affairs in dying conservatism. Funny, how the quitter Hucklebuck, quickly cut off gingrich when he went on the neg to another candidate in order to protect the phoney facade of repukelicon unity. The Central state of the Rewhiglicon Reich now only wants to allow targeted hate-speech in order to gin up the base. Tune into fux news and limbot for your next metered doses.

Whenever the left is faced with facts that they can't spin they start with the race card. Sad bunch of lying loons the democratic party has become.

The Central State of the Reichwing has presented the country with no viable alternatives. That is the fact. Not spin. As witnessed on toothpix, The Central State of the Reichwing has also issued orders to maintain it's own spin of muslim, kenyan, illegal, socialist, commie and the rest of the endless diatribe they front in order to disguise their own weakness and ineffectiveness. As the Obama re-election draws closer, expect the Central State of the Reichwing to enter deer-in-the-headlights mode as their history of poor decision making, once again, dooms them.

What is truly sad is Obama's jobs record and class warfare.
.
Maybe if Obama decided to cater to all of America instead of his left wing buddies from San Francisco, he wouldn't be known as the food stamp president.

Blacks wanted a black president, now they got one. It is time blacks take ownership of his failed policies. It's not racism, it's reality water carrier.

Newt got a STANDING OVATION on his position about food stamps, work and unemployment in his answer to Juan Williams.

The FIRST standing ovation any candidate got in the 15 debates that were healed.

Gingrich was the only one who had answers and he brought down the house and clearly the only one who can challenge Obama.
Romney was unsure of himself on all issues especially about releasing his tax returns, Bain and Pac ads.

Paul was Boo several times especially when he state that we should of NOT killed Ben Laden and his Golden rule statement. Paul is finished.

The class warfare being played by The Central State of the Reichwing, money over people, has them known as the country club crowd for a good reason. Failed results and giveaways to the wealthy via the bush tax cuts have created no jobs. Wealthy, old, inherented money, sit upon by people who couldn't be in business if they tried, doesn't create jobs. Tax it. The others, haven't created any jobs. Tax them. It's time for the Central State of the Reichwing to take ownership of their protectionist policies of the affluent which have damaged this great nation. There's your reality.

They've figured out how to make more $Money with less employees, by OUT SOURCE the jobs to CHINA, INDIA, SOUTHAMERICA.

Indeed MCP, although the largest group (#) on foodstamps are single white mothers,many are drug addicts,some disabled etc. Apalacha and the lower midwest,Mississippi,Alabama,Ge orgia,rural Texas are full of these type of people that need help

Mittens was staggering last night and didn't seem prepared, he began 'flip flopping' on his tax return issue-that was hilarious!

After some in the crowd-booed Ron Paul for his opinion on how america needs more cultural respect..I thought that was sickening
