I couldn't get past 46 seconds. Jesus ****. While we can all breathe a sigh of relief that he won't be president, let's not forget he's already a ****ing governor! I wouldn't leave this dip**** in charge of defrosting hamburger, and he's in charge of the second largest economy in the nation.

Oh, and the other (less reported?) gaffe of the night was the guy who's under fire for sexual harassment and mistreatment of women calling the ex-Speaker of the House "Princess Nancy".

Overall it was actually a pretty good debate, the moderates weren't taking any sh!t from the candidates, and when one didn't answer the question, they asked it again more pointedly. A little more like an interview and less like a Fox News anchor lobbing softball questions.

This isn't going to effect his chances of winning the nomination at all. He represents all that is sacred to the GOP, racist, pro-life, pro death penalty, anti-education and bringing the bible into government. He's a tough acting dip sh!t that can be easily manipulated just like Shrub.

I have to admit, of that entire entourage, Ron Paul is able to at least convey his completely fvcking retarded ideas in a very coherent fashion. I mean he even has answers when people ask questions about his own ideas.
I haven't been paying attention, but that was the feeling I got.

Ron Paul is the truth! I don't believe Newt Gingrich will self-implode like the rest of the front runners have so far, so I believe Ron Paul will have a difficult time defeating Newt, but I would really like to see a debate between Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich and Obama. For all that Obama lacks in presidential skills, he is a good debater and would put the rest of the GOP candidates to shame.

Gingrich has already imploded. He just may get a second chance because of the ineptness of the rest of the field. Huntsman is the only one that stands a chance against Obama. Fortunately, he is not bombastic enough to make it past the frothers.

"Truth" means flat taxer who thinks the government should be out of your life.
You got it... somewhat.

Government policies are good when the country has a lot of money to go around and they support you, but generally they don't unless you're part of the 1% and buddies with the elected official and can convince him to invest in your market. Home prices, college tuition, healthcare, they're all artificially inflated bubbles thanks to the government giving out easy money to buy into the system. Healthcare is more complex, but it has way too much regulation.

So while I don't necessarily disagree with the moves that the government makes, I like the technology that Solyndra represents, I don't think we are in a position to be flagrantly tossing tax-payer money at businesses that lack the drive to earn it in the real market. It's time to stop stripping tax-payers of their income only to be redistributed into the bank accounts of ceo's that are friends of the government.

But mostly I like Ron Paul because he's the only candidate that will stand up to the military industrial complex. When Ron Paul says that he's bringing the troops out of Iraq, he means back to America, not to some military flotilla in the Persian Gulf like Obama is.
