Way too much time to have to listen to Paul’s voice...but I wish all all of them would give King the boot! He must be the most annoying human! I have read the posts...and I don’t think I could turn it on after that! LOL!

Micheel was elected to Congress in 2006. Palin was still mayor of Wasilla or something.

Quit making stuff up just because you like Palin. She could have been a part of this you know.

Bachman making too many hand gestures. Distracting, as well as her make up. Sorry.

This whole debate moving so fast it takes my breath away.

Sometimes you need a minute to digest the information.

PAWLENTY HAS TO GO, the man is dithering and not a man who will fight for conservatives and seems to be wanting to be popular and will say anything.

Romney hitting on Obama's lack of leadership, Democrats having no plans. Says eventually foreign countries will stop loaning the US money.

Bachmann asked about cuts and the raising debt limit. Quotes Obama on raising the debt ceiling as "failed leadership." She says if we pay the interest we will not default.

TPaw asked about "separation of church and state" and he says it was intended to protect people of faith from government, not the other way around. Mentions rights from God in founding documents.

Pawlenty just nailed the separation of church and state out of the park. Its to protect the people from the govt not vice versa.

Yes, Palin supporters snipping at those on stage when she could be up there with them. I’m sorry but she just comes off as ‘I’m too good for you clowns’. Though I’m sure her supporters feel the same way...

Obama is a good speaker, most socialist leaders are. In the context of her introduction of the Repeal of Obamacare and other statements. I don’t think she can be accused of Obama-Pandering.

They threw the faith question in to sidetrack all the anti-Obama talk.

“It’s a shame Palin didn’t participate because I would like very much to see them on stage together so I can objectively evaluate both.”

Palin is brilliant to avoid this pre-game warm up show.

As a dispassionate observer, you're WAY out of line, Rome.

Noting Bachmann's beauty is in no way 'worship' whether coming from a male or a female. You messed up with your ad hominem.

Santorum and Pawlenty doing a great job on morality. Paul doing OK too. He's surprising me tonight by sounding occasionally sane.
