Ron Paul really showing his ASS with the other candidates, and his rude and rowdy fanati-bots trying to disrupt things.
Ron Paul is downright SCARY on foreign policy. He hates Israel and stands up for Iran.
Don’t agree. Even my grandmother says “bitch” and “bitchy”. Its a great word.
Did anyone else notice that Bachmann was holding back a chuckle when Pawlenty was asked “or is she just beating you in the polls”?
OMG RuPaul is gonna pull his hair out. What a loon.
Sarah would be wasting her time tonight. This is a circular firing squad, but some folks have proven they won't make it past Iowa.
If someone would have told me this morning that Newt would have won this thing, I would have said that they were crazy.
Where mittens Romney ??? Oh he is the establishment pick....
Ron Paul makes some good points.....
Someone please make Ron Paul sit down and stfu.
GREAT REMINDER! THANK YOU!!!!!
Cain is the ADULT on the stage! The rest are cry babies and whiners most of the time. Cain, even when upset and defending himself, is calm and cool. Calling on his administrative skills most likely.
Rick was absolutely right about his lack of face time and being the only one cut off.
Paul was doing a pretty good job of that by himself!
Does he want us all DEAD??? Did he really mean what he said about Iran??
Yikes. Bring in the hook and drag him off the stage!
Ron Paul looks like he is on steroids. Certainly does not look Presidential and could never be nominated for dog catcher.
Ron P. is just a NUTCAES with his views on Iran!
There are absolutes. Proverbs puts it thus "Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless".
The old landmarks include the basic -- self-evident to the Founder's generations -- definitions of marriage, of murder, of life, of WHO IS A MAN. Justice Tanney busted down that last old landmark, and as a consequence a most bloody civil war ensued.
A state can place some constraints on what constitutes a legally recognizable marriage, or define categories of murder. But there are some limits to the ability to redefine basic concepts and terms of law.
The modern folly of redefining marriage is as bad or worse than what Justice Tanney once did.
On economics Paul is the best by a mile , the foreign policy is a mess
