Talk about it here. Watch it live on FNC or (better yet) at
YouTube.
6:56 PM PT: Rick Santorum says Rick Perry is soft on sovereignty. He brings up the binational health care thing, but it gets lost in the shuffle. Perry's response is that Santorum has no idea what he's talking about, saying that the idea of building a 1200 mile fence, with another 800 miles to go to the California border, is ludicrous.
6:58 PM PT: Ron Paul is asked whether he really believes that a border fence is a bad idea because it could be used to keep people from escaping America. Paul says that indeed that is the reason he thinks its a bad idea. I think that makes him the first major presidential candidate to defend a policy in terms of the right of Americans to flee their own country.
7:03 PM PT: Before the commercial break, we learned that 47% of people responding to a Fox survey online about the debate said they wanted to eliminate the Department of Education. And now that we're back, we're going to talk about Middle East policy. Yay.
7:05 PM PT: Romney says he'd give Israel a blank check, and strongly implies he'd go to war with Iran to stop it from getting a nuclear weapon. Herman Cain starts saying something but the main thing—and this is a shock—he didn't say 9-9-9.
7:08 PM PT: Question to Perry: If you got a 3am phone call that Pakistan had lost control of its nuclear weapons, what would your first move be. Perry dodges, talks about what he'd do before it gets that point.
7:11 PM PT: Butch Russell of Troy, OH wants to know when is someone in the White House going to say the U.S. will stop sending money to our enemies. Gingrich blah, blah, blahs about foreign aid. Of course, the main way we ship money to overseas enemies is through our energy policy.
