They are pretty uninformed. I think it is on purpose. The papers don't report half of what goes on in the world. I did my own little research project the other day and went to the library to see if ANY of the SC papers had reported the President signing the NDAA. I found that the last time anyone mentioned it in the paper read by Charlestonians was 2005!

Somehow I don't think they have written anything about the fact that Gingrich and Santorum aren't even on the ballot in three big states. So I imagine they will let their votes go to waste.

As much as I despise the guy I also feel Smoozer Romney won tonight debate to the helping by Faux
I felt Newt did a good strong second, the crowd in MB was applauding him.
Ron Paul was being his true self. The problem is fear mongering same ol is what this country wants, and Republicans rather vote on fear mongering than what is right for the country.
That crowd didnt seem to favor Ron Paul and they are ones pulling lever Saturday. I wish him the best though.

This country will be no better off with Obamo or Step brother Roneo,

the whole cleaning and janitor work is a cheap shot to blacks, i agree with juan williams.

1. some kids can and do hide being poor. now they'll be outed and targeted by the rich white kids.

if you get everyone involved, i could be ok with it. he is specifically targeting low income non whites though. you think that intiative with white kids in SC, to that crowd, would've been met with applause?

i will at least give newt credit for going to a black church and sticking with it, and not backing off, so we know where he stands.

i dont think kids working is bad, as long as everybody is involved and not just poor black kids mopping the halls while the white kids are mocking them and tipping over the bucket of water. you get everyone involved and im fine with it.

How do you come to that conclusion?

Because he wants them to be able to earn a living, then a better living?

Here's what he said - your interpretation is way off base.

Newt suggested that African Americans are settling for food stamps and don't want jobs.

Gingrich did better than the other candidates at the debate, foxnews also reported that him and Ron Paul got high twitter remarks. Romney worst point in the debate according to foxnews twitter count was his stance on NDAA. Gingrich was the only candidate to get a standing ovation and loud applauses.

Except for shows like "Freedom Watch" and news interviews with Ron Paul, tonight may have been the first night anything about the NDAA was on national TV. I don't think they made a point of announcing the President signed it on New Years. I think they were hoping people would not notice but THANKS TO RON PAUL for making sure we all knew what it was, the message is spreading and Americans are not fond of candidates who support it. That is why Ron Paul won the debate tonight, I think. He was the only one who came out strongly against it and also detailed exactly what it was so that the audience clearly understood. I think the FREEDOM message is spreading and the candidates who don't support it will lose.
