Ron paul is loosing it...damn...he looks bad to me!
I agree.
This is the first time I’ve had respect for Newt as a candidate since his fall, although he still has the bill at Tiffany’s to pay.
Because he makes a mockery of the debates, which apparently meets Fox's agenda.
Exactly how I read it and you said it much better than I!
Paul is an ignorant fool if he didn't know that there were alQaeda training camps in Iraq.
Really, Paul? You wanna go with “there’s no Al Qaeda in Iraq?”
Someone tell Paul to shut up. Tomorrow’s news will be about how crazy the pubs are.
Bachmann asked about civil rights and miranda rights for terrorists. Defends Gitmo. Mentions sitting on select committee for intelligence says she will do everything possible to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapon.
Ron Paul defends applying our rule of law to terrorists. Paul hammering hard on anti-war issue.
Santorum says Iran is greatest supporter of terrorism around the world, must be confronted. Supports "freedom" for Iranians where they now oppress women and gays.
During ad break.
Fox's panel… Andrea Tantaros says Newt is "too angry" but had best answers. Romney most presidential but dodged. Doug Schoen says Obama's come of the most presidential tonight (yes! Obama!!). Pat Caddell thinks Ron Paul is juvenile for not understanding Iran. Wants to know what Huntsman is about on China which is engaged in cyber warfare against the US daily even while he was ambassador. Talking about Bachmann not smiling.
Crazy, yes, but you have to admit it’s been fun.
Did they? After he did some whining about not getting face time they let him go on. He seemed so juvenile. It appears the one not getting time is Romney.
The rebuttal was the final and well deserved kick in the teeth.
Love it.
This debate is starting to go downhill fast. Some of these candidates are looking really bad tonight.
Me Too!
Saddam was providing $25K to Palestine Martyrs. Iraq occupied Kuwait, destroyed oil fields and capable of anything.
Weaken middle east good for world.
Bingo. Did anyone rebut Paul by pointing out that 9/11 was an act of war by a world-wide Islamic terrorist organization.
Ok, going into that last commercial, Bachmann was seen again running off stage. What gives??
Secretary of State would be fine but a spot on the ticket? Uh, uh. He’d bring nothing to a campaign.
Yep. Did someone mention circular firing squad?
