Santorum vs. Casey Debate on C-SPAN NOW

[Placebo]

It's supposed to get pretty nasty!

[ncrainbowgrrl]

1. It's already gotten good.

[Placebo]

Eww, this is nasty!

Poor Santorum, this is the best he can do? He's toast.

[babylonsister]

2. Just tuned in. Santorum sounds a bit testy.

And totally defensive!
Specter said Santorum doesn't work hard/long enough?

[ncrainbowgrrl]

5. "Rick...Rick... Rick..."

Did they mean to dress alike, or was it just chance?

[Placebo]

10. It's a cheap ploy by Santorum...

to try and blur the line between the two!

And why the hell are they so close together?

[ncrainbowgrrl]

14. I donno why they are so close together- but it's prime for photoshopping!

[babylonsister]

16. That's the 'uniform', I think. Red tie denotes power, with the

dark suit. I didn't even notice that, just Santorum's defensiveness and belligerence.
Oh, and let's not forget talking points, like islamic fascism.

[rodeodance]

3. umm Internet cspan1 says the stream is not available.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

11. you might try the local TV station page- KDKA-TV Pittsburgh.

[Sydnie]

12. Do you have a link for that? n/t

[rodeodance]

13. thanks. but i have to use the net (no cable no dish)--oh well.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

18. here's the link to a saved copy of debate- y'all can jump to where we are

[Sydnie]

23. Thank you n/t

[femmocrat]

4. Thank you!

Santorum is showing his true self... petty, whiny, and argumentative.

[cynatnite]

6. Santorum is in total meltdown n/t

[ncrainbowgrrl]

7. "we don't make deals here, rick."

[Nite Owl]

8. Santorum is losing it.

He is showing his desperation tonight.

[gumby]

9. This is good.

Santorum =

[Placebo]

15. "...and his name is?"

This from a man who has blindly supported a president 98% of the time who probably couldn't even name the leader of the UK without a transmitter in his ear.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

19. Did I just hear that right- radical sunnism?

I really hope I didn't hear that right.

[Placebo]

21. You did.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

22. *slaps head with hand* Oh... my...

I'd be laughing if it wasn't so sad.

[burythehatchet]

17. .

[ourbluenation]

20. what a wooooooooooooooorm!

there's a sniff of desperation in the air. in fact...it stinks.

[ourbluenation]

24. omg - this is hysterical....where the hell is the moderator? bwhahahahaa!

+

[ncrainbowgrrl]

28. You asked for a moderator? I'm here. Oh... Wait... you meant on TV!

[ourbluenation]

31. any mod here would put that guy to shame...this is fabulous!

[AlinPA]

40. The moderator- a jerk TV newscaster (Ken Rice) who is on with a nit-wit

airhead on the 6:00 news.

[Placebo]

25. This is like "Quiz Time w/RICK"

"Who was the former president of Iran?"

"How many special forces do we have?"

"Do you know how long it takes to train a special ops person?"

[ncrainbowgrrl]

26. Owww- now that question is quite... ouch!

[Pithy Cherub]

27. Totally laughing!

WWF politics! Gentleman you are ruining your own rules!!!! Santorum is just terrible so far.

[Placebo]

29. What sane person, WHAT sane person...

would choose Crazy Wacko Santorum over Cool, Calm, & Collected Casey?

[ncrainbowgrrl]

30. I don't know.

However, this is the funniest thing I've seen all year.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

33. i was up there... and they gave me an award for the work that i've done.

why don't you look into the camera... and ...

[Placebo]

34. "How many days have YOU been at work?"

"No, I mean it, HOW MANY DAYS?"

[Pithy Cherub]

35. Santorum looks like he needs a white jacket and escorts.

Why don't you show up for work - Santorum thinks that's gonna help him!

[ncrainbowgrrl]

37. perhaps he can partake in the hospital that he helped fund?

I hear they have money now. They gave him an award. Rick?

[Pithy Cherub]

43. OMG!!! Rick's only running in western PA!

"I voted against it 10 time on minimum wage and then I voted for it 10 times"! Oh Sh*t is he awful!

[ncrainbowgrrl]

45. flip- flop, flip, flop. (Whatever goes around, comes around, rick!)

[AlinPA]

32. That question about Casey "being lazy" was a rotten slimy pro-Santorum

trick and set-up by a republican-loving political reporter; notice how Santorum was prepared for that one. The KDKA guy keeps adding "10 seconds" to Santorum's time allottment. Watch, he will do it more later. I watched it earlier.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

36. Yeah, that was a softball.

Good to see Rick prepared for SOMETHING.

[AlinPA]

46. That pay-raise was passed by the PA legislature; Casey is the treasurer

and is bound by law to sign the checks. Santorum keeps harping on that as if Casey could overturn the law.

[Placebo]

38. Sadly, the Republican-friendly reporter...

doesn't seem to be helping Santorum's composure any.

[Placebo]

39. Santorum: "Your only rebuttal was that one of the guys was dead!"

OH.

MY.

GOD.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

41. I like the Casey ads... they're pretty true, imo.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

42. Rick's talking about cost of living going up?!

Smooth move, ricky.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

44. HA. he's been hyperventilating against the pay raise ....

[MoonRiver]

47. Santorum has been turbo spinning himself into the dirt!

What a hoot! If voters in Pennsylvania aren't totally insane, Ricky is burnt toast!!

[ncrainbowgrrl]

48. He's getting more and more red in the face.

I think he's going to implode.

[MoonRiver]

52. His desperation shows, big time.

[Fuzz]

49. I really hate these fucking debates

They end up giving us nothing. Every candidate looks like a petulant child. "I know you are, but what am I!"

No wonder the majority of citizens don't fucking vote.

[Placebo]

51. Agreed.

I've seen so many senate and house debates this year, it's amazing how many of them leave the viewer thinking both candidates are just big children playing adults.

[Placebo]

50. Santorum on Bi-Partisanship: "I worked with Dick Durbin on Puppy Mills!"

[MoonRiver]

53. HILARIOUS!!

[Pithy Cherub]

54. You can't make this up! you just can't! LOL!

[Buzz Clik]

57. What I don't understand is why Santorum has double digit poll numbers.

He is such a raging idiot. Are the people of Pennsylvanie -- even the Repukes -- that fukking stupid?

[MoonRiver]

60. We all know there are a lot of mor(A)ns in this country.

But more and more people are waking up.

[Buzz Clik]

55. Debate? Casey vs Santorum: pretty conservative vs real conservative

My condolences to the good people of PA.

[Placebo]

56. Really really not an accurate characterization.

[Buzz Clik]

58. okay, how about this:

A suprisingly non-liberal Democrat versus a raging lunatic masquerading as a sentient human being.

[ourbluenation]

59. again with the senator for western penn...????

doesn't ricky wanna be the sen for all of Penn? why does he keep saying that.

[ourbluenation]

61. omg - snotty santorum almost blew his top!

[gumby]

62. Santorum appears positively manic.

"Turbo-spinning" is a great description!

Santorum is "a non-resident peddler of non-truths".

[Placebo]

64. "a non-resident peddler of non-truths"

SO GREAT.

And again with the "I'm running because I believe in Southwestern Pennsylvania!" What about the rest of PA?

[Pithy Cherub]

63. Santorum is having a toddler temper tantrum!

This was better than anything else on TV tonite!

[gumby]

65. Did Santorum's closing statement qualify as

grovelling????
