Ron Paul is sounding a tich insane.
Dick Morris is a fat sex pervert
And now Ron Paul taking cheap shots instead of discussing the issues. Ron Paul, who write letters attacking Ronald Reagan, is bringing up letters written by other candidates?
Paul mentally on a detour now.
He should be mandated to leave the stage.
LOL Did you tell her it was a democrat in republican’s clothing?
Wow, the pace is frenetic, and it is making all of these candidates look better. This is making my choice much harder!!!
Paul has lost it...
Heaven forbid we should have a president like Ron Paul, that does not follow the globalist agneda. The nerve of Ron Paul wanting to follow the U.S. Constitution. Imagine actually abolishing the Fed Reserve, and stopping the bleeding of this once great nation. What would we do with our military if Ron Paul was elected if they were’nt invading soveriegn nations by funding and supportin al-queda as in Libya.
I think he is only there to support the Party.
Paul makes false accusation that Perry supported Hillarycare. Bet they don’t let Perry respond.
Yeah, Huntsman has had a few good statements.
You know...I think most of the candidates are doing well tonight...except Ron Paul. He’s not coming off well.
Michele Bachmann is showing her lack of anything but legislation. It is all very technical and robotic, nothing personal she is able to add from real experience.
I could have gone the rest of the night w/o knowing that :)
As of today, a silver dime is worth 3.00, not 3.50
Not getting into it with a Perry-ite.... Don’t like the term and don’t feel I owe you squat to explain why... it’s personal.
“Newt understands that beating Obama is easy, its the MSM they are running against.”
EXACTLY. I’m hoping that the GOP candidates are on an email thread together somewhere agreeing what the priorities are....
Ron Paul is batshot crazy from looking up too many wazoos.
Just a tetch? lol
