I have their rendition of “The National Anthem” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic” on the iPOD.

Newt is in favor of the Patriot Act—says no specific thing in there he disagrees with.

Paul says early Founders said not to sacrifice liberty for security. Gets applause.

[Jane Long]

Poor Paul just gets to exacerbated.

the Paul Bots are there!

Ron Paul disagrees with Newt that it’s worth stopping an A bombing of an American city.

[Rome2000]

Ron Paul had his eyebrows and brains blown out during his tenure as an OB/GYN.

Occupational hazard.

[glock rocks]

Sounds like they’ve stuffed the audience with Paulistas again.

[dragnet2]

Paul has good rebuttal, with BIG applause!!!

Newt had good point.

[Vision]

Every time Paul opens his mouth I wonder if he’s high on LSD.

[BagCamAddict]

I just LOVE Newt’s concise replies that shut down whatever the premise was.

“Timothy McVeigh succeeded.”

Zinger.

[Yaelle]

Newt vs ron: interesting argument. Police state vs national security. Both are excellent.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

that gets so old.

[advertising guy]

RuPaul is an idiot

[FreedBird]

Paul is coming off as a Grumpy Old Man

[Jane Long]

Me too ;) First time I heard them, I was amazed.

[Winstons Julia]

Paul mentioned McVeigh..

Newt’s McVeigh SUCEEDED was a smackdown.

[Political Junkie Too]

It's nice that they didn't start with Romney. Maybe Wolf will bring in Santorum before Romney, too.

Then CNN's feed will cut out every third word of Santorum.

[La Enchiladita]

Too funny. Michelle explains that phones are no longer wired in to the wall and Ron Paul looks bemused. Must have been new to old Ron.
Hahahah.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Newt says we don’t want to lose a city before we find the bad guy.

Ron Paul says that is balderdash...akin to putting a cop and a camera in every home.

Michelle Bachmann talks about the need for new technology...AND MICHELLE THEN STICKS IT TO HUSSEIN!

THANK YOU MICHELLE! THANK YOU FOR KEEPING FOCUS ON THE ENEMY OF FREEDOM HUSSEIN!
