Okay Ron Paul,
How were Americans treated as prisoners by Japan?
By North Koreans?
By the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong?
By Iraqis?
America has been the only ones to treat prisoners of war humanely. When our men and women are captured, they aren’t just simply thrown in a jail and fed at least twice a day. They’re thrown in SECRET jails, tortured and beaten, then summarily killed.

Santorum’s head is very, very orange.It doesn't match his 'hands'. But it's a perfect match with Pawlenty's tie!

Allen West just took Alan Grayson’s seat (I hope he had it sanitized before sitting on it). He’ll probably stay there for a while before thinking about running. Or maybe he’ll go to the Senate.

Johnson wants to abolish corporate income tax. Incoherent on unemployment benefits.

Wrong, I don’t actually have a candidate yet, staying open minded until we see who declares.

‘who is this Johnson character?’
Former Governor of New Mexico, in some ways more libertarian than Paul, although more presentable.
