Rick Perry handled it perfectly and turned Paul into a babbling fool by throwing the Reagan letter right back at him.
Perry don’t attack Paul. He’s not worth your time.
OK, people. You have two minutes to read 200 posts!
Ron Paul is a total nut job - his gallon of gas for a dime BS was lost in translation.
Anyone notice the purple audience lights behind the mods and their purple ties? What’s up with that?
ouch! Perry’s remark to Paul left marks!
Dr. Paul...bringing up the value of the Silver dime—now Perry and Paul sparring. I don’t like the Perry “smirk” when others answer.
Rick Perry was a democrat...head of Gore’s texas campaign. So what is your point re Paul?
That’s because he IS the brightest guy in the room...just about any room. Unfortunately he’s also the least disciplined.
If he does, the moderators are now alerted that Newt doesn't suffer fools.
He wrote a letter to Hillary telling her not to messs things up for his constituents. How is that “supporting Hillarycare”? He did not say what you said he said.
WTF!!!!!
I THOUGHT IT WAS AT 9 !!!
DAMN FOX,THEY NEVER DAID IT WAS ON AND AREN’T SHOWING IT!!!
I AM SO MAD!!
I’ll catch up with Freep...who’s winning?
Ron Paul is 76 years old!
Ron Paul has the FULL CRAZY going on now, justifying the “REPUBLICANS ARE INSANE!” meme the media, and ESPECIALLY MSNBC is pushing.
He must be disinvited to any SERIOUS future debate.
I once thought of keeping a record of FReepers who have answered that question with a "Yes."
There are a bunch of them. Hopefully, it's all bluster.
Ron Paul does not know what he is talking about half the time.
The problem is...Sarah isn’t there. WAKE UP!!
The vid froze on my side.. is anyone else having this prob?
IIRC Newt hit a home run in the last debate also...yet nobody here wants to see him nominated.
As for Perry...I’m underwhelmed by his performance so far.
