Candidates participating:
“Maybe they should have a follow up question to Paul, will you support the Democrat nominee because they promise to end the war?”
I think they should ask the other candidates, will you support the Democrat nominee if they promise to end abortion? :)

Hillary Clinton, continuing to hit on economic themes in her White House campaign, said the government should do more to help people save for retirement, and is proposing an annual tax credit of up to $1,000 to help do that. The Democratic presidential frontrunner's plan would allow households earning up to about $100,000 a year without employer-provided 401(k) plans to open new "American Retirement Accounts," and get a tax credit matching contributions up to a maximum $1,000. But the incentives would be available also to savers with 401(k)s or Individual Retirement Accounts. To offset the revenue lost,... |

OH BOY!! Ron Paul is going to suck votes from the RAT nominee!! This guy is as liberal as liberal come!! The BEAST666 better start worrying about paul! He’s the next Nader, and not a Perot our party!
Totally not taking her crap. Good job Fred.
Rudy just stole a Rush Limbaugh joke.

It got Maria to smile. :)
(that’s worth the theft of a good joke, yes?)
Fluff Q: Senator Thompson, this was your first debate. How did it feel?
It felt like home... I didn’t say which home.
DEBATE ENDS.
Fred is rubbing his nose like it is running on him, I think he has a bit of a cold.
You're completely off on that. Maria Bartiromo is as pro Wall Street, pro Main Street, pro New York & America as they come.
it shows.
Romney got an MBA and JD at Harvard at the same time. I think his IQ must be stratospheric.
He did, Fred closed with a bang!
As with Rudy, it sounded canned and super-scripted, not spontaneous.
However, Rudy did well, and is used to this type venue (news conference with questions). Did well on think on your feet mode.
Wrapping up with how did it feel to FRed; FRed did a great job on it.

Phhht. Lightning round? Regis Philbin should have been the moderator.
Missed the first half, when’s the replay?
Fred was the closer...that was great.
True enough when you consider that half of the children in America, ages 0-5, are minorities. Demography is destiny.
Paul isn’t going to run third party or independent. If you want to bet otherwise, I’ll wager 100 dollars now. Are you, or anyone else, willing to take my bet?
>>> It is time for the Ron Paul cowards to find their own website. I tire of these children. This site supports the war on terror....period.
>> That is not your place to say this. I am split between Hunter and Thompson, but I know that this site was built by libertarians as well as conservatives.
Jim Robinson - the actual founder of the site - is VEHEMENTLY anti-Paul. Given posts I’ve seen from Robinson, the quote above could’ve been from Robinson’s mouth verbatim.

We certainly agree on this! Ron Paul will hurt Hitlery if he goes third party.
