Paul: “Cancel the drug war”.

Oh, @(*#@. This clown is an embarrassment to our party. Can’t SOMETHING be done to uninvite him to these things?

[Gator113]

You must not be watching the same debate as the rest of us.

[SuzyQue]

Libertarian leanings are fine. Paul is a nut.

[writer33]

And the libertarian emerges.

[bigdirty]

Blitzer the racist SOB won’t call on Cain because Cain cracked a joke at his expense. This is deliberate.

[txhurl]

Why is Romney looking at Perry like that?

---

Why is Romney not a Governor of some Eastern State?

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yes the skankgate smear on Cain utterly failed completely, so they have to revert to step 1 of Gandhi...ignore. Ignore Herman Cain completely. They have done this in previous debates...last time it was Duncan Hunter. Freezing Herman Cain out completely. I knew they would do that tonight.

[South40]

Wrong Paul playing for the stoner crowd.

[dragnet2]

Paul on a roll!

[eyedigress]

This may be a counter-intell action to eliminate him once and for all.

[magritte]

Good full answer by Perry...well done...

[Vision]

I think Paul is on marijuana.

[Winstons Julia]

WTH is he blabbering about now? Everything at once.

Cancel the war on drugs...that’s what’s causing the violence?

So ... you don’t fight ANY drug trafficking? Oh geez...

[mylife]

Paul on drugs....

[Grunthor]

“With a statement like that, I’m not even going to ask if you served in the military.”

13 years Army with medical discharge.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Paul is right on the WOD...

But Perry is right on securing the border.

[onyx]

Geeeeez!

Finally, Herman Cain!

[writer33]

Yes, leanings are fine, but Paul always goes off the end of the plank.

[kabar]

I know a lot more about Newt than that. He would be a disaster as President. He was practically kicked out as Speaker.

[Revolting cat!]

The Doctor has spoken.
