I do have a problem with Santorums position on “Right to work”

[Girlene]

Santorum - if you haven’t been attacked by CREW, you’re not a conservative. Santorum seems quite comfortable going after Paul.

To Paul, Rick says - Don’t know if you think if board of directors are lobbyists, but they are not. Defends work - trying to defeat cap and trade.

Perry has enough time to do his taxes before they get around to him.

Or read War & Peace.

I'd pay good money to see one of these guys reach over and slap that stupid, condescending smirk off of Mitt's face!

That is strange...he has even mentioned running on a 3rd party...

[Yaelle]

While santy talks, you can see mitt playing in his pocket with his $10k in change

[Pravious]

What’s wrong with Rick Perry’s mike? It’s shrill and horrible sounding, unlike the other candidates.

[RitaOK]

A SPIT CONTEST. Substance can’t be slung like this. Why do they agree to this???????????!!!!!!!!!!!

[TitansAFC]

Santorum’s pro-union/anti-Right-to-work issue is one he does not seem to have an answer for...........

[exit82]

Santorum and Paul going at it.

Santorum defends against being a big government conservative.

Steffy now goes to Perry.

Perry says this why he is in the race—he is not an insider. Wants to get Tea Party behind him and fight Obama.

[Jane Long]

Perry’s up with the smack down :)

[Yaelle]

Best comment so far! Rofl!

[show]

Ron Paul is a LIBERAL and he LIES .. and is a stealth candidate who always supports Liberals.

Notice Ron Paul NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER bashes Democrats.

[RitaOK]

The RULES were set up to make Republicans look blithering.

[TomGuy]

Perry didn’t get a question, but he has responded anyway.

Perry charges most of the others as being Washington insiders.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Perry gets to speak.

Are you calling Ron Paul and insider?

Perry calls Paul a hypocrite.

[jwalsh07]

I think the debate is fine, it’s doing a lot of unmasking quickly. Ron Paul is a Soros guy and Newt doesn’t like big business. Santorum defends well and Perry is actually speaking in paragraphs.
