WRONG. Sarah’s non-participation is OUR loss, not hers!
Newt bashed the Paul Ryan plan so he is out with me despite of tonight.
yes.
And having lived in Iran during the 1979 revolution, Paul doesn't know his a$$ from a hole in the ground. He is a dangerous fool.
Yeah. He's the only one who seems comfortable enough to tell the truth about what he believes. Everyone else seems so guarded.
Santorum doing a GREAT job of making Paul look like a fool about Iran.
I would easily and gladly vote for Amy of these people over obama.
In other conservative forums the two biggest losers in the debate:
1) Chris Wallace
2) Sarah Palin
They say Palin appears to be a coward fearing the debates and waiting until many of the debates are over before coming in.
Me, I disagree. I doubt Palin’s going to run. It wouldn’t look good for her to step in now.
"Ron Paul and his flaming antiwar spam monkeys can Kiss my Ass!!" -- Jim Robinson
After tonight's repulsive remarks, even more so than just a a few minutes ago, Ron Paul and his supporters are not in harmony with the core values of Free Republic. He and his ilk need to be repudiated by true Conservatives.
Ron Paul = Neville Chamberlain
Is it just me or is Romney not getting much face time?
[Sarah would not have fallen into that trap with getting into with Pawlenty.]
Nope, she woudn’t have.
Not at all. Let them tear each other open. It's far too early to anyone but political junkies, like us, to remember by the time it matters.
Why is Ron Paul getting all the time?!!!
I’m not a Paul supporter.....
But he is right regarding the Chinese....They hate us and are gearing up economically and militarily to challenge us.....They have real capability today and are growing stronger....
The Islamists hate us with more outward passion but what can they really do...not much...a few terrorist hits....an IED....they can’t go to war....
Santorum talking about Iran’s threat to the world. Which is real.
He sure did! LOL.
Mitt Rino buried himself on the Romneycare question. Bachmann hits the question out of the park.
You go Santorum... stick it to Ron Paul’s foolish and dangerous foreign policy views. Shove it Ron.
Iran should NEVER get a nuclear weapon, but Israel will take care of this problem for us.
