Santorum's War Plan....

reply to post by pianopraze


Indeed and damn Santorum for using up Paul's time

I wish there was a way to get the rest of the candidates to talk about monetary policy.

You really are just wasting people's time if you aren't going to change the monetary system.

THATS IT../////..//

OMG what a bunch of bunk!!!


paul ended with a total of 6 min. 35 seconds.

out of 90 min..

Biggest thing from this debate:

Santorum

All Iranians are martyrs and they will nuke us because they dont care about the consequences.

What a tool.

some raw facebook comments :

Why are they focusing on Newt, Santorum and Romney? Ask Ron Paul more questions. We want to hear from all candidates so we can get to know more about all of them!

I like how they keep skipping Ron Paul. Only makes his argument for being ignored all the more relevant.
about a minute ago

They are upset about ignoring Ron Paul. And most of the comments (this was random selection) but most ofthe comments I've seen are them screaming about the NDAA Patriot Act and SOPA/PIPPA... they are screming that in caps over and over...

I posted some of those earlier...

ETA... I post this because it was supposedly the "facebook" debate and they were supposed to pull questions from this feed... and they DID NOT.... they ignored the most often asked questions which was NDAA, Patriot Act, SOPA/PIPA... so again. This was a joke of a debate and they did not follow what they said they were going to do. People got pissed.

WELL, It was rather a disappointing debate..

Newt and Romney dog fight it felt like i was watching..

Paul was focused and spoke well on the few questions he had

Santorum, came off as dorky..

Huntsman I thought answered well but his intentions
i question.

Perry looked like a jack ass..


Who won/>>??

No one, won this IMO..

reply to post by popsmayhem

Santorum came off as down right scary....war mongering POS...

I'd say Huntsman won.

Santorum, Romney, Gingrich and Perry all looked amateurish and foolish, to me. I was very impressed with Huntsman, though.

Paul was Paul. I wish I didn't have to join Twitter or Facebook to participate more actively in the politics of this country. I would have had some questions for him...

I thought the debate this morning was just going to be a replay of the one last night. I didn't know it was live! If anyone finds a link to the recorded debate that was on this morning before I do, please post it. Man I can be such a dork sometimes! Oh well..

Apparently, this "debate" is airing at different times depending on where you live/TV provider.

Here in Illinois, I'm viewing it on Dish Tv and the debate started at 9:30AM CDT(10:30 EST).

I see Ron Paul has finally been given a middle slot on the stage. First time this has happened in all the debates!!!

WHILE I AGREE he was in a *good spot on stage*
the four questions he was asked was a little unfair,
he was in between the two pitbulls fighting on stage
in between romney and newt....

Just watch or read this thread you will see what we mean..

Yes meet the press has different airing times your correct there...

Here is the trailer for the Romney Bain movie.

This is going to hurt him when it is aired.

King of Bain - When Mitt Romney Came To Town

The debate re-aired

Facebook MSNBC Debate

I was disappointed again by the time-bias against Dr. Paul, but it did make me smile that Dr. Paul had the last word in the debate.

What was that word? LIBERTY

Hopefully that word still has meaning with enough of us, that we can DO something about it!

just wanted to say thanks for the play by play!
saved 70 minutes of my life reading this thread

too bad mitt & newt (what kinda names are those anyway?) were the focal points, yet again

ron paul doesn't need as much talking time as those fools anyways and the media realizes this, so they cut him off ? . . . . glad to hear the good Dr. nailed his few, sparse questions.

RP 2012!!

Rick Perry is sounding like Ron Paul, but has very different views. Did he just blame Bush and Wall Street???

Wow.

The video is on Youtube now, if you wana watch



Huntsman defend your stance!!!!!

Perry took all his talking points from paul.

That is why it sounded so similar. Perry claimed
the entire time he was not an *insider* but everyone
else on the stage was. Perry stated atleast 4 times that he was not
an insider.. Perry lied through his teeth imo./
