Tonight South Carolina Presidential debate 9pm EST - join me to discuss it live.

Okay,apparently the canidates(some) are doing what they want and for however long they want.
Paul isnt being allowed to talk...again----->surprise face

But watching this debate,its almost like someone gave Mitt and Santorum a shovel and said here,go out there and bury yourselves.

Letting these tools talk,seems to be helping RP more than they would think.

Time for Paul to butt in. Everyone else has been!!

You guys can't complain about Ron Paul not having more time when he isn't demanding it.

Cause people love that, when someone stands up and whines for more time.

I KNOW. I just saw that, and I'm really amazed how Perry's been taking all Ron Paul's stances. And the crowd explodes with applause...that applause goes to Paul in my eyes.

Um, HELLO!? Did you just steal that from Paul?

Perry channels whomever he's standing closest to....

But just remember...Romney is Paul's only friend up there on the stage.

If you understand anything you will see that it's the other way around

This is just another msm sham.
It's pretty sad to watch.

No one is being "allowed" to talk...the stronger personalities on the stage are just taking the time they want.

Ron Paul is too passive...and it comes off as being weak.

He is just sitting over there on the end...staying quiet and letting the others take control of the debate.


And look...Romney just through Paul a bone...not that the moderators will let him respond. But just remember...Romney is Paul's only friend up there on the stage.

So... lets get this right...

Ron Paul is following the rules... and your saying he's wrong???

This is really getting to me. There needs to be a time clock that everyone runs, and if you run out of that time clock on the button, you are out of the debate automatically.

If you press the button, your time starts to countdown. If you run out, your mic no longer works.

Lets say five people on stage, 2 hours everyone gets bout 25-30 minutes of clock that they can use however they want.

Exactly. the only one RP hasnt been attacking is mitt romney.... hence why I think Ron should step in and crush him while he's down right now.

Best tweet #scdebate

Romney: People who have committed violent crimes shouldn't vote, but white-collar criminals should TOTALLY run for president.

By my count, once they got to the commercial break:

Romney: 1 Answer, 6 Rebuttals.

Gingrich: 1 Answer, 0 Rebuttals.

Santorum: 1 Answer, 3 Rebuttals.

Paul: 1 Answer, 0 Rebuttals.

Perry: 1 Answer, 1 Rebuttal.

Can anyone confirm that?

Um ....ah....um.....ah....count for Romney is 200 times plus and counting in the first 25 minutes.

Come on Ron......nobody is sticking to these debate time rules, Speak up and get in there!

Every candidate has taken a stance similar to Paul's.

That was hilarious Perry owning Romney believe it or not Perry did get the better of him in that exchange

whoops i meant Santorum

Well that was an awesome first part of the debate. Looks like this may be the debate where it's everyone going full force against Romney. Hopefully it continues through the rest of the debate
