A devastating number of Pinnochios thrown out by Gingrich. Romney scrambling for Geppettos.

Starting to think some of these politicians might be less than completely honest.

Clearly Rick Santorum has no gay sons because they would have put the kaibash on those sweater vests #NHDebate #NBCFBDebate #TweeThePress

Entitlements are not rights.Ron Paul, narrowing down the libertarian philosophy to four words. Paul notes that “the rich people” get entitlements usually, not the poor.
I don’t blame him for the recession and for the decline, what I blame him for is having it going so long, going so deep.Mitt Romney • Talking about how much blame Obama should get for the recession.
A member of my cabinet was gay.Mitt Romney • Validating his gay-rights record. Rick Santorum got the question, too, in which he claimed that, if his son was gay, he’d love him just as much as he did the second before he said it.
Evidence this is a New Hampshire debate: We’ve spent like five minutes talking about a heating-oil program. Romney suggests sending programs that make more sense for certain parts of the country, like heating subsidies, back to the states.
Huntsman wants to bring term limits to Congress, to help end the never-ending cycle of politicians becoming lobbyists. This should be something everyone on this stage should support. Rick Perry goes further: He suggests cutting salaries and making members of Congress have day jobs — with Congress being a part-time deal. Which sounds a bit like pandering.
Tough question for Paul, who has never gotten much passed in Congress. Santorum lunges: “He’s never been able to accomplish any of that.” Paul says it’s tough to reverse 100 years of policy.
I was the governor of a state that had a slightly Democratic-leaning House.Mitt Romney • Understating his strongly-Democratic legislature while he was governor.

Huntsman on working for Obama: “I will always put my country first.” …Mitt’s response: Do that by working under conservative principles. Huntsman’s response: “This nation is divided because of attitudes like that.”
Regarding non-superficial stuff: Huntsman had trouble answering David Gregory’s question of three programs to cut. But he supported the Ryan plan.
EDIT: Sorry, we messed this one up. Thanks to Aheram for pointing it out.
I think this discussion has been very superficial so far, and I think your question was superficial.We agree with you, Ron Paul. “I really consider that, in the debate format, to be less important than we really believe in,” he says.
Mitt Romney: Politics is not a career. But he’s still running for president. Newt nails him: “Can we drop a bit of the pious baloney?”
If your record was that great, why didn’t you run for re-election?Rick Santorum • Making a more effective argument against Mitt Romney than Newt did.
