  • Ron Paul for life!

  • Paul should have been chosen first. So that all the other sheep could have followed.

  • Foreign aid? End the Fed's costly ineffective spending.

  • These candidates always make these promises which are almost always forgotten about when elected. With the exception of Paul, all of these candidates are corporate-paid maggots.

    The very fact that the corporate media is actively ignoring Ron Paul and totally cuts him out of the issue he exposed is proof in itself that the rest of the candidates are paid front-men and Ron Paul is the only one on that stage who means what he says and given the chance, he would turn this nation around.

  • it's interesting that the one person who wrote a book called "end the fed" was not asked this question. ron paul got the message in at the very end. but how about that mitt romney slick distortion of the issue "you want congress printing money?" he would rather have an agency overseen by who? is he saying transparency? i don't think he even responded about an audit. someone running from president throwing out this disinfo is suspect. everyone knows who runs the fed why not these candidates?

  • RESEARCH THIS IN GOOGLE:

    Rick Perry’s Hardcore History of Investment in Porn

  • FEDERAL - ABOUT AS FEDERAL AS FEDERAL EXPRESS!

  • Ron Paul is treated SO UNFAIRLY. This is SO obvious. They are pushing Rick Perry to the Front line every time i hear the news. Its disgusting.

  • Hey Wolf, would you mind returning to Tel Aviv to carry out your zionist agenda under your beginnings with reuters? I get stomach flu watching you spout crap from your mouth all day on CNN. thanks!

  • This was the most disgusting, transparent political SNUB! that has ever occured in my lifetime. It makes me want to put my finger down my throat and puke into a plastic bag, then smack Wolf Shnitzer over the head with it. The Fed has been Ron Paul's front and center political obsession for almost 40 years....watch the 2008 debates....LITERALLY not a PEEP about the Fed, inflation, monetary policy or even the Constitution from the other candidates. Only Ron Paul. OMFG the propaganda.........

  • So.....let me get this straight.

    The man who got involved in politics in the FIRST place (1971) because of the fed, didn't get to answer?

    The man who's introduced an "Audit the Fed bill" NUMEROUS times throughout the decades doesn't get to answer?

    The man who's authored several books on monetary policy including "End the Fed" doesn't get to answer?

    The man who's GRILLED Fed chairman Volker, Greenspan and Bernanke on the floor and is the chairman of monetary policy doesn't get to answer?

    ok then.

  • Unbelievable. The issue that Ron Paul has been doggedly raising for years and he's not posed the question. Welcome to the new fascist controlled media!

  • Canada is awesome. Deal with it.

  • Totally absurd that the ending the fed question is put forth and the candidates get to answer it... but the single man who has championed the act for decades gets snubbed. Wow.

  • they skipped ron paul WTF

  • @chan00chap Please Check out our video Challenge 4 ALL Ron Paul supporters & participate in it- get all your friends/ family involved...RON PAUL needs us….type in- Ron Paul 2012 Challenge!

I'm just trying to post to as many patriots as I can get them involved in this challenge Ron Paul 2012!

  • YOU SUCK SANTORUM! I'm reading your letter to Richard Haas of the CFR, if you are elected you will bow your ass to the Wall Street bankers, stop lying!

  • I hope all the dislikes r because they ignored Ron Paul and not because it's full of fed lovers on utube.

    THE END OF THE FED! THE END OF THE FED! THE END OF THE FED!

  • Comment removed

  • WOW...Ron Paul would have had a lot to say in response to Romney suggesting that our money needs to be managed by central economic planners.  Fucking commie

  • whole lot of white folks in the crowd....

  • the only purpose of a central bank (so call Federal Reserve) is creating business cycles, inflation and making investment firms and bankers rich and making the main street poorer and poorer. So We need a Fed? just so they can keep ruining us?

  • @wayx3

    Is that why the United States had less bank panics under the Fed than without it? Why do anti-Federal Reserve cranks always tend to ignore the US Free Banking Era, and the original Great Depression?

  • @TheAntiV During the US Free Banking eras, perhaps you missed the fact that the major owners of banks were pushing for a central bank system then also (similar to the federal reserve), the panics were used to propagate the movement toward a central bank. The Federal Reserve was created in 1913 BEFORE the great depression. Maybe it's those pro-fed cranks that ignore that fact.

  • @neempoppa

    Sounds like complete speculation to me. The reality is after the Second Bank of the United State was abandoned as a national bank in 1833 the US suffered from speculation fever which eventually culminated in the Panic of 1837 and a five year long deflationary depression. Soon another speculation bubble started to grow (involving railroads) which bust as the Panic of 1857 and an 18 month depression.

  • @TheAntiV and soon after we had the speculation bubble of the housing market, and oil prices, bubbles and panics have gone no where with a central bank, except the central bank gives the government a price tag.

  • @neempoppa

    That's not completely true. We've actually had less bank panics since 1913. Only three in fact. Sure the Federal Reserve isn't perfect but even Milton Froedman believed we should completely remove or do away with it.

  • Rick can't even get elected dog catcher in Pa. The Fed should be abolished. The questionwouldnt even be asked if not for Ron Paul. The Pizza guy used to work for the Fed! I hate CNN!

  • "What we need" is for all these ass clowns to stand behind Ron Paul in the line He is standing 1st in. Audit the Fed is Ron Paul's agenda, Godspeed Ron Paul, for liberty.

  • c'mon people. If they asked Ron Paul to speak on the Fed on a national forum he'd destroy the system in 2min. They cant have that.

  • Romney just said he doesn't want congress to regulate money. That's odd, because the Constitution says "The Congress shall have the Power....To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin..." If we had real money and not fiat money, and there was gold to back it, there would be almost no inflation - as there was for 125 years before the Fed was created. We are now taxed an average of 4.5% per year in the form of inflation. It destroys the power of people to accumulate wealth.

  • @Theospeak1 By the way, for the people who say there isn't enough gold to cover the amount of wealth in the world now, that's just not true because 1) it's all relative, and 2) our currency has been deflated 96% since the Fed was initiated. A 1913 dollar is only worth only four cents today because it's been so devalued by inflation.

  • My hope is that this nation can unify around good ideas, regardless of party, race, sex, etc... that we would unify in the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness. It cannot be stressed enough that we need unity. Dont just get behind a party, get behind candidates that are willing to work together to fix the problems that we have. I would love to see this group of candidates unify and form a brain-trust to get this nation back to her former glory. We can be exceptional again, but we need unity.

  • What a Joke these debates are???? if you had half a brain you'd turn the channel , the ONLY reason the FED is even under any scrutiny at all is RON PAUL and the moron ring master asks every one but the one man who brought the whole issue to the forefront in the first place...........the absolute only expert on the monatry issue is RON PAUL .........dont be duped

  • Stupid Question Silly answers, "WHO" will audit the Federal reserve? Thats the Answer, this is chest beating BS.

  • Mitt Romney proved he's a traitor when he said he wants a strong Federal Reserve but doesn't trust Congress with our money. Maybe he should read Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution. Just a thought.

  • lol.. Mitt Romney basically just said, "don't trust me with the money." i agree.

  • That's all right...I ignore CNN :)

  • The only reason this question is even *asked* is Ron Paul.

  • except for Ron Paul, Herman Cain and Gingrich, all the other candidates should be charged with treason

  • um, what about Ron Paul? He had a sub-committee hearing today regarding what we can do once the FED self destructs. Where was the media?

  • Communist News Network.

  • If not for Ron Paul their would be no question about auditing the FED. Shame on you CNN.

  • Either Wolf has no clue and is a total moron or he's ignoring Ron Paul for his statut quo agenda. Note that either are highly possible!

  • Ignore ron paul lmao what scum bags

  • @BuRgEoNyT1

    We see the problem in almost the same way, you just choose to see some evil plot behind it. I happen to see it as an out-of-control system that until recently had been too profitable to give up.

    From your own description of the Fed problem, wouldn't you agree that the root cause of this is the loans system and the regulations on banking, not simply the Fed, which is merely an apparatus of the banks?

  • Two questions and Paul has not been given a chance to answer.

  • GEE. I wonder whose idea it was to audit the Fed to begin with. And now that everyone wants to see that, all the other GOP candidates are mimicking his ideas. It's a classic campaign technique.

    Listen, people. Ron Paul has wanted to audit the Fed for decades. Before this election, Perry and the other leading GOP candidates were just fine with Bernanke and the Fed. It's up to you as a voter to decide who is genuine and who is catering to you with lip service just to win your support.

  • Finally Herman Cain exposed for the FED.... enough said

  • Ron Paul authors the bill to Audit the FED and they don't even let him address the question...

  • @BuRgEoNyT1

    Also, you must have meant "deflate our currency". If you're going to parrot Ron Paul, parrot him well.

  • @BuRgEoNyT1

    You're talking about the nasty side-effects of printing money, and you jump to the conclusion that the side-effects have been the goal all along.

    Since you're *clearly* an economics major, tell me this: how does this "transfer" of our wealth to the mega-banks occur? Do you mean that the money being printed by the Fed is "ours"?

  • Ron Paul all the way!

  • THis is such a joke the whole political system is ajoke....these so called elected officials are a joke and all but one of them deserves to be killed...and hopefully this will come to pass.....

  • No matter who wins the election, we the sheeple need to get educated and informed about the dark underbelly of the Federal Corporation and its franchises and how we are being affected as U.S. Citizens; check out my recent videos, Colorado Sovereign Files Fee Schedule with Denver; also People vs. Citizen: Two Political Jurisdictions. Peace, Ven

  • Google Building 7

  • How did they get away with NOT talking to Ron Paul on the Fed Question?!  That's HIS issue!

  • Wow!!! The only person they didn't ask about audting The Fed ws the guy guy that has been taling about, wrote a book about, and wrote a bill to AUDIT THE FED.

  • My guess is that since Ron Paul's views on the Fed are well known, they probably bypassed him in order to let the other candidates express their views.

  • they wont talk about ending the FED or auditing the FED when they go up against obama. this is just to see who can play most extreme republican. when they run against obama they will be trying for most moderate NWO globalist, and that person will win. they already scrapped paul, its disgusting.

  • wow, and to think the majority of Americans get their "news" from these so-called mainstream media outlets. What a damn injustice and disservice. Ron Paul is the ONLY one who has EVER questioned Bernanke DIRECTLY. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??

  • The Tea Party will embolden the FED, send soldiers to die in foreign lands, bankrupting the country for 'security' while they leave the borders open and push more police state, anti-american policies down our throats. They want a war? They're going to get one!

  • the true power of the tea party HIJACKING has just been revealed. epic msm propaganda leverage against ron paul. bravo cnn, you mofo.

  • end the fed.. private central banks.. are no good period.. the treasury should have the power of issuance and creation of currency

  • Herman Cain is right that the Federal Reserve needs to have one focus, of preserving the value of our currency instead of printing money to pay off our national debt for the president. Fix the Fed and fire Ben Bernanke. Put Herman Cain in office, get the national debt down,so we can go back to the gold standard, as is we don`t have enough gold to match the debt to do so and if we get rid of the fed what do do replace it with. Exactly, Herman Cain for President.

  • @erininokeechobee

    Cain is former FED, and is on record saying the we should NOT audit the FED. Flip-flop. The FED is not voted for. They make their decisions in secret. Although the president appoints the chairman, the FED is not required to obey the chairman, nor is the chairman required to obey the president. Greenspan is on record saying they are above the law!

    Why would you want unaccountable people who think they are above the law doing ANYTHING that affects you? I don't!

  • @erininokeechobee

    Herman was the head of the Kansas City Federal Reserve. You may want to rethink your analysis of him as it would be pretty hypocritical of him to go after the fed. Might I suggest Ron Paul?

  • @bosshog7169 agreed...we've been saying that since he jumped in the race...

  • They not only skipped Ron Paul, the only candidate plainly qualified to take a stance on the Fed, they skipped Gingrich, the only other candidate to have shown any stance whatsoever. CNN addressing a topic without addressing it. Can't run from it forever.

  • A dizzying array of ignorance. Or of malicious manipulation of public anger. Either way, things look pretty grim.

    The only one here coming even close to an informed answer is Romney, and he gets booed.

  • @xTheOxx: You thought Romney was the only one who came close to an informed answer? I believe I heard him say he doesn't want Congress in charge of running the currency, and that we need a Federal Reserve. Article 1 Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution states: "The Congress shall have Power to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures". Mitt Romney is an airhead, and that anti-American jackass should try reading the Constitution.

  • @Kras3169

    Boy, praising the Constitution sure beats grasping the basics of economics, banking and why the Fed was necessary in the first place. Let's ignore the last 150 years and uphold the constitution.

  • @xTheOxx: Ignoring the Constitution is what caused this disaster in the first place. Nobody has a better understanding of economics than Ron Paul, and he abides by the Constitution more than any of those other sad excuses running for President. If you understood the basics of economics and banking, you would know why the Fed was NOT necessary...especially if you claim to support a free-market economy. Shortly after the Fed was created we had the depression of 1920. The Fed is a nightmare!

  • @Kras3169

    "Nobody has a better understanding of economics than Ron Paul"

    If you've been led to believe that, there's not much I can do for you.

    "If you understood the basics of economics and banking, you would know why the Fed was NOT necessary..."

    Then please, help me understand economics and answer this: why does the Fed print money in the first place?

  • @xTheOxx To loan to the government at interest to make themselves rich, and to finance deficit spending. in reality they should print only to replace circulation and to keep the amount of bills in circulation in line with the supply of gold or silver that those bills represent. You are beyond help at this point oxx, if you don't want to read or educate yourself, there is no point trolling youtube, just pull the level for the Obama like a good little sheeple.

  • @mattpkp

    You're saying the Fed prints money to loan to the government. The government gets paid in cash?

  • @xTheOxx you can start here when you have the time watch?v=9Il2PFKKGik

  • see this is retarded obama had nothing to do with companies falling to their own greed... yea obama sucks... but ron paul would not only hold the gov responsible but not suck corporate dick like all these neocon faggots

  • It speaks for itself,

    FAKE Tea Party!

  • @FreeinTX I thought Ron Paul started the Tea Party? Are you saying that it has been infiltrated like every other organisation established to improve things, but is then infiltrated & distorted by the big money criminals? Like, Green Peace, Free Mason Movement and now the Tea Party? Do you think they would infiltrate the REVOLUTION Movement & get Paul elected? LOL, we can only dream.

  • @danz177

    It has only be co-opted if you watch the cable news networks and believe what they say. The Tea Party was formed by a group of END THE FED'ers and TRUTHERS, in Boston, on tax day, 2006. It was quickly co-opted by the Koch Brothers with the Taxed Enough Already crap. Then came FreedomWorks and Dick Armey. Then Breitbart. Then TP Express, Patriots, HD, Nation, the 912 movement with Glen Beck.

    ALL the same people running it ALL.

    Coopting the Tea Party pt1of4

    watch?v=4dYU7deSqcY

  • Because they're terrified that the audience will start chanting "End the Fed".

  • They will ignore Ron Paul on all key questions until it stops working, ya he warned about the $, that;s basically why they have 2..... Where Paul goes......

  • at 5:38 you could hear the groans...

    this 'debate' is a joke.. a bunch of propaganda..

  • how will we reach out to the other republicans?

  • This is a repeat of 2008. They shut Ron Paul out of debates and polls.

  • This is good. It exposes the other candidates for what they are. Followers. 

  • SHEEPLE! Wake up! Ron Paul is the ONLY one that has remained constant for the last 3 decades. He is the ONLY one that has been screaming to get rid of the Fed Reserve. This is FUCKING NUTS! Quit ignoring Ron Paul for these idiots.

  • LOL... Michele Bachmann should be tried for treason for admitting that she infiltrated the IRS in order to work AGAINST the gov't from the inside !!! WTF ?? ALL Teabaggers are traitors NOT patriots. Anyone who works to destroy the country and the gov't and works AGAINST the people and FOR the highest paying CORP, Lobby,etc is a TRAITOR against this nation.

  • In response to @jaxgal618. I do not support Michelle Bachman but it does not make her a TRAITOR to work against the policies of the US government. By definition, a PATRIOT is someone who opposes the governments policies when it violates human rights or unfair taxes, etc. Being a PATRIOT does not mean that you kowtow to everything the government says. We are facing the same type of tyranny that the founding fathers faced. We have an additional barrier to cross, an unfair and biased media.

  • @jaxgal618

    Michelle Bachman is NOT a Tea Party member! She is part of the Koch Brothers FAKE Tea Party! She voted FOR the Patriot Act and it's extensions. She voted FOR the Super-Congress. She is a LIAR giving the same lip service that the others are giving.

  • Jon Stewart was right, Ron Paul is the 13th floor of a hotel.

  • The so called Private cartel (Federal Reserve) was founded in Fraud over a Christmas break. There was no quorum on a floor vote and only Three votes passed the Act. Wayne Paul Ron's brother explains..

    youtube

    /watch?v=HesLDikEets

  • Ignoring Ron Paul on the issue of the Fed is really outrageous - it is thanks to Ron Paul that *anyone* is even talking about auditing the Federal Reserve; to not bring in the pinoneer on the issue into the debate really exposes the agenda to ignore the Congressman.

  • Comment removed

  • @uk6strings he has been ignored, but neither the question about the federal reserve or that he is ignored is a coincidence, just asking such question should raise a lot of eyebrows, I honestly don't believe that people in the audience know how important it is because it new. I prefer being pessimistic, because it is important that this is actually happening, and one should observe the consequences of their responses, they are quite extreme, at least it appears so, as we should know

  • I sure hope people start looking at the comments on these websites about Ron Paul...You guys and gals are great...keep up the good work. God Help us...We need Ron Paul in 2012.

  • A clear example of bias, and disinformation. The One Person (Ron Paul) who could have answered the question in a way to awaken the American electorate is shelved and silenced. A sad display of a system struggling to stifle the awareness of an awakening public.

  • 5:20

    Article 1 Section 8 must have slipped his mind.

  • Hmmm i wonder why Ron Paul that wrote a book on end the fed was never asked?? fucking biased mainstream media RP 2012

  • FUCK THIS PEOPLE RON PAUL IS THE ONLY REAL CANDIDATE 4 REAL CHANGE!!!!!!!

  • Herman Cain is like that blind KKK member black guy from Chappelle show.

  • @r3onkadena OMG!! I was thinking the same thing.

  • LOL they keep saying Ron Paul is unelectable. Yet his ideas are the one who we'll clearly get you elected in 2012. An question about auditing the fed should involve the guy who passed a bill bout auditing the Fed UGH?

  • Highlight: "If we don't have a Fed, who's going to run the currency?"

    Someone is falling behind in Econ 101.

  • VOTE FOR ME BECAUSE I HATE OBAMA AS MUCH AS YOU DO

    VOTE FOR ME FOR YOUR CHILDREN

    I HAVE THE COURAGE TO DO _____ WHEN PRESIDENT

    YOU WANT A PRESIDENT WITH CONFIDENCE AND COURAGE, DON'T YOU?

    GOOD, THAT'S ME.

  • wow you see at end of video newt & ron paul are discussing that what the hell, they just passed you up on your hot topic to talk about. that's fucking shit. this proves that even the polititions are fed up with the networks b.s. and running the show towards the media's pick of who should be our next president, not the people's choice.i hope you all see that with every negative there is a window to see the truth shine through.once you study some, everyone can see the game that is going on here

  • Another note.. I've been following mainstream news media through videos or online articles. In no way is what they produce objective. No way. The information is coached, and it is completely obvious. The order of what they put, wording, side information that is irrelevent, etc. In this video, notice how the camera goes away from the speaker during his speech. Easily being used to coach an individual into presuming a case. With the blatant ignoring of Ron Paul.. Well, it isn't good. Pretty sad.

  • Lol Want to know what is hilarious? I truly think the cheers people give don't mean anything. It's like.. They cheer for anything! Like short-term memory, they forget that their previous cheer went with one person, and give it to another because of keywords. Most the information probably flies over peoples head, but they shake that same head when they here: "Give the American people what they want!", "More jobs!", "Allow people to rise", etc. I'm disappointed with this lack of critical analysis.

  • Their stealing Ron Paul's ideas!

  • @rainwilds I noticed that

  • wow they are really trying to sensor paul... fox, cnn and msnbc are all a joke... they do a great job at keeping the 85 percent confused and fighting against eachother.

  • The difference between a patriot and a terrorist is which side you are looking from!

  • RIGGED!!!!! WTF!!!! RON PAUL HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS!!!!!

  • If the post here is any indication opposed to those that only watch main stream media they have to know the good doctor is getting the short end of the deal!!! It just shows that Dr. Paul is the only one threatening the corporate structure.

  • Watch the last 10 second... even Newt thought it odd that Ron Paul did not get to answer that question.

  • @jjcale1111 my thought - you know what? his influence has spread, just that this question pops up is proof and unusual (indeed) - and you know what? if any of these candidates, who express such extreme point of views as being willing to either close or make the federal reserve 'transparent' even mention this during their term as president, if any of them even reach that far, that would be something to behold, and I wouldn't trust them one bit, except Newt? and Ron, yes

  • Comment removed

  • We all know that the media is out to dismantle Ron Paul and his movement, but this is the most outright, shameful thing I have seen yet. I knew it was bad but this just brought it up to another level, I hope there is a huge backlash in response to this.

    With that said, Ron Paul needs to bend the mold and interject; lay claim to what his rightfully his. To sit there and not call out this BS makes him look intimidated. STEP UP RON WE ARE WITH YOU!

  • We dont need the FED. Period. Read Article 1,Section 8 of the constitution.

  • The all want to audit the fed, now who's been saying that for the last 20 years?

  • They stole Ron Paul's Ideas!What a sham!!!!

    RON PAUL!RON PAUL!!!RON PAUL!!!

  • What the fuck!!! they ask a question about the federal reserve and they skip the guy who wrote a whole fucking book about the answer?!

    If they keep ignoring Ron Paul this way, they are only making it more obvious for everyone how worthless thay are as objective, impartial, non-bias, news!

  • @Quiksilver385 "They do not want liberal voters to know that there is a Republican who is truly anti-war, an embarrassment to their peace-candidate-turned-warmong­er president, that it is a Republican who is truly against the corporate state, which Obama has jumped directly in bed with. They do not want liberals to be reminded that all of the civil liberties violations for which they excoriated George W. Bush have been expanded by “the One.” - Tom Mullen

  • @Quiksilver385 the even put mitt and rick next to each other that in its self speak volumes

  • @Quiksilver385 it is worthless, these debates are pre-scripted and they don't even allow a debate to take place. It's really just 8 interviews at once.

  • @Quiksilver385 Not to mention he is the CHAIRMAN of the house committee on DOMESTIC MONETARY POLICY. CNN should enjoy their ratings for this debate while they can, because they turned off a lot of viewers last night.

  • @Quiksilver385 Why ask a KKK member what he thinks of Jews and Blacks? We know the answer!

  • @jesushatesyoutoo So your saying... "Why ask an expert their opinion on an issue they fully understand?" Well actually you're not stating that you're asking "Why ask an uneducated fool their opinion on an issue they have no understanding of?" So, I'm not getting your point, they did ask the uneducated fools a question for which they have very little understanding, or would like to expound upon where they do have knowledge. Ron Paul on the other hand is an expert & should have been asked.

  • @danz177 I AM SAYING, why ask a man what he thinks of his own idea? It think we have all heard his opinion on that! Why not ask Bachmann what she thinks of gays?

  • @jesushatesyoutoo Okay, my friend FreeinTX already answered you so I won't add anything. Thanks FreeinTX!

  • @danz177

    Cheers

  • @jesushatesyoutoo

    Most people have never even heard of the FED, and this debate would not have had a single question about the FED if it were NOT for RON PAUL!

    They should have asked him the question so he could explain WHY he feels the way he does about the CRIMINALS INSIDE OUR GOVERNMENT imposing a taxation WITHOUT representation!

    Inflation is a tax, and we don't vote for the people who raise our taxes through taxation!

  • @FreeinTX raise our taxes through inflation. oops.

  • Mitt Romney @5:26 "Who's going to run the currency, congress?, I am not in favor of that [the constitution].

    "Congress shall have the power to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures"

  • WTF Perry! Backpedaling on the Fed now. They ARE a treasonous non- government agency. It IS used for political purposes and HAS NOT maintained a strong dollar policy since it's inception IDIOT!

    It is deliberately maintaining a WEAK dollar policy in order to keep interest payments low and is destroying the middle class in the process.

    You can't say that because you are now owned by B of A and the rest of the Banksters!

  • Have a supercongress manage the currency Mitt.

  • They are trying to turn the fed into an issue owned by one of these other jerks. Don't let CNN get away with this!!! NO ONE talked about the fed 4 years ago except Ron Paul. THIS IS BULL.

  • They are stealing all of Ron Paul's ideas/talking points there is no reason to ask Ron Paul, they all sound like parrots at this point. Only one of them will keep their promises, and he is also the only doctor on the stage.

  • @MadXMax187 Exactly, but if Ron Paul doesn't win the nomination I would accept a Romney nomination but NOBODY else. Romney may be WAY more of a mainstream politician than Paul, but he is still much better then most others. Cain however has some sound ideas too.

  • I want everyone to watch whenever Bachman talks. Her first sentence starts with something she did and then the rest of her talking points include either something about God or something that copies Ron Paul or something cliche to catch the American people.

  • What in the world is going on? Ron Paul is ignored on a Federal reserve Question??? This is his wheel-house. He is the main, lead, spear-tip-point guy on this issue. 

  • Tea Party Express? Do these "Republicans" even know how the Tea Party got started on 12/16/07?? With a 6 Million Dollar Money Bomb to Ron Paul for Prez in '08! Give the man his propers!!!

  • Wolf tipped his hand. He called Perry "good governor". OK. I surrender the hope of unbiased management of this debate.
