You are right. Best questions. Great format. Nice to see the questions up on the screen after they are asked. Having the TEA Party has shown the country that the people who support it are clear thinking, intelligent, and concerned about the country as a whole, and future generations...not just their own selves or own little corner of the world.
Ron Paul is a NUT!!!
Its what Texas wanted to do. We don’t want it for my state or for amnesty on the natinal level.
Its a State’s rights issue and one can’t argue with that. If you do argue with that then you are not for State Rights.
“The Pizza Man is my main man!”
He delivers?
I order y'all to give us a break and START AN INOCULATION THREAD !
(like herdin' cats)
How do they know a student is working toward citizenship? Do the papers have to be in process before it applies?

First ya gotz ta b here legal like...
One issue is that a lot of the land on which the fence would be built is private property—and perhaps not all owners of private property along the border are willing to have a part of their property “donated” for that purpose.
Ron Paul is toast. Oh my gosh...
Because people like you either don’t want to listen are are not capable of understanding. They’ve got 30 seconds to answer.
Yeah, you must have missed the part where the in-state tution for illegals says they ‘may be eligible for state aid’. And exactly where does state aid come from?
Paul is being booed on his defense of Mooselimbs.
Santorum nailed him on blaming US for 9/11.
Paul—here’s your ticket to Kookdom.
As I understand it. Yes.
Paul rapidly imploding know does not know what Islam is all about.
I’m BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOINNNNNNNNNGGGGGG at the TV. Drop out now LRon.
Ron Paul just turned into a suicide-bomber - except he only blew up himself.
Booing Paul.
Bachmann is shrill and her attacks ring hollow.
PAUL NEEDS TO BE ERADICATED FROM ANY FURTHER DEBATES!
ooops *** Sanstrom = Santorum ***
How has Ron Paul existed in politics for so long? He is a flaming nut case. Sure was booed just now
