    You answered your own question:

    "But Planned Parenthood cannot use the money it receives from the federal government for abortions anyway. According to the Department of Health and Human Service’s website, "by law, Title X funds may not be used in programs where abortion is a method of family planning." Medicaid funding is restricted by the Hyde Amendment to only abortion cases involving rape, incest or endangerment to the life of the mother."

    It's absurd to say they're not using federal funding to pay for abortions. Stupid accounting tricks don't change what's going on.

    "Planned Parenthood says only 3 percent of its total services in 2009 were abortions."

    No she said the Top 5 polls were not used even though that is what FOX said would happen.

    If it's only 3% of all their cases then it's quite likely they were all cases involving rape, incest or endangerment to the life of the mother, which are allowed.

    And what you've all been waiting for, my review of the debate.

    Christie - did fine, but didn't give anyone any reason to think he's a viable candidate.
    Trump - was Trump. Didn't destroy his status or enhance it.
    Bush - was a little shaky. Nothing terrible but did not gain.
    Carson - Doesn't seem any brighter than the rest of the pack. And if not that, then... what?
    Kasich - Probably won the day, sounded like a responsible adult.
    Huckabee - got a good laugh at the end, may have a future in TV.
    Walker - 50/50 mix of creepy and boring.
    Paul - 50/50 mix of creepy and crazy.
    Cruz - 1,000,000% creepy
    Rubio - Was very nervous. First time at the prom.

    No, she ranted about how the pollsters didn't want their polls used and had the head of the Marist polling organization on to say so. He said that the difference between 10th and 15th was within the margin of error. Again, it was 30 minutes of my life I won't get back. It was just outright stupid.

    Fox had to do something to limit the number of people on stage. As it was, they all got about 6 minutest of air time. At least it wasn't Fox choosing who made it and who didn't. Otherwise, Trump wouldn't have been there.

    You can see the show for yourself here.

    CNN pundits, almost to a one, said Kasich was the clear winner.

    Fox News said Huckabee and Cruz were the winners. They all went out of their way to bag on Trump.

    Trump came across as a boorish prick.

    I rarely watch Fox, but because they hosted the debate, I was able to rewatch it on Fox and also was interested in their take on it. CNN became rather repetitive.

    It looked to me like there was a concerted effort by Fox to destroy Trump, who's leading in the polls.

    I thought the moderators did a fine job and the questions were not at all softballs.

    Boorish Prick/Some Woman 2016!

    Seriously though, the media will brainwash everyone into thinking that voting for Bush is a good idea soon enough.

    They're not pushing Bush, though. Huckabee & Cruz by Fox to its republican audience.

    That's exactly what a lot of people want. Trump has become the angry middle finger for scared white people.

    Totally anecdotal, but on my FB page I've seen that Rand Paul, Ben Carson, John Kasich and Donald Trump "won" the debate.

    Is the problem that white people are scared, white people are angry or that someone's voicing the concerns that make white people scared and/or angry?

    That's a big mistake on Fox's part then, I would never consider voting for those assclowns, and I doubt I'm alone.

    Me neither. I'm not expecting to vote for any of them from the entire field.

    I thought Kelley and Wallace both come off as an ass. There questions were of the gotcha type rather than debate questions. I was very disappointed in the Fox gang, they seem
    to be swinging over to the MSNBC style that I quit watching 6 or 7 years ago.
