NBC GOP Debate in Tampa Bay, Florida - 01-23-12 (1 of 6)

[tagen22]

I'm from Utah, and when we had that embarrassing Olympic scandal and believed we would be essentially bankrupting our state with the Olympics, Mitt felt like a knight in shining armor. He quite flawlessly saved the day, and made them a profitable success that were incredible to be a part of. I realize this is only one piece to the Mitt Romney puzzle, but I think the only person capable of saving our economy is Mitt Romney. Nothing else matters until that happens (in my opinion).

[VictoryReef2012]

Why don't they ask them about the indefinite detention of american citizens bill that obama signed? If they are for that you know they are working for the same globalists as Goldman Sachs boy Obama

[VictoryReef2012]

Vote Ron Paul or vote for Rockefeller Goldmansachs puppet boys Obama, Romney....and Bohemian grove elite Newt

[energyalt56]

America RON PAUL is your last chance to save your country. If you dont vote him in you deserve to go down the shitter.

[covingtonium]

Talking heads talking heads talking heads

[chillichomper]

I was a Caine supporter but since that boat has been sunk I think romney is the best choice out there. Gingrich is a blow hard who attacks the other candidates using Democratic tactics and when other take the same approach to him all of a sudden he's taking the high ground???!!!! Cmon. Who the liar here.

Romney is the best be for business and executive leadership. He been holding back in debates the whole time because his campaign advisors have told him to be nice.

[TeaPartyVictory]

Ron Paul is not the "father of the tea party". he did not even attend the first national Tea Party day, choosing instead to hang with the establishment at CPAC. Check it. He's a fake and you are a gullible, tinfoil hat idiot.

[xxoscarxx67]

@TeaPartyVictory This guy is a scam. If you watch his video he won't even let you post a comment without his approval, neither on his video or his Youtube page. He's just one really paranoid Ron Paul HATER.

[cupani10]

Ron Paul ! The only candidate representing USA and the American people.

Everybody else are running for the Israeli best representative in America.

Ron Paul !!! Ron Paul !!! Ron Paul !!! Ron Paul !!! Ron Paul !!! 

[chillichomper]

@cupani10 Ron paul is well meaning but his view of the world is myopic. Isolationism has NEVER been a good policy for a nation to adopt. I agree with him that we need to adhere to the principles of the constitution and that Obozo has totally trampled the constitution. However, implementing the letter of the constitution is only part of the solution.

We need leadership and experience from someone who knows how businesses and states can partner together to succeed. Who has that but romney?

[guilde]

Every debate is getting shittier and shittier, how is watching mitt vs newt the entire time a good debate?

[TeaPartyVictory]

RON PAUL IS DANGEROUS and stating facts is not warmongering. Paul's everyone loves everyone fantasy world is unbelievably dangerous. All all western world leaders and their advisers recognize Iran is a very critical threat. RON PAUL IS NOT A GENIUS who magically knows more than those other world leaders. He's a backwater racist who has found a way to con the ignorant about the world scene for his own financial and political ambitions. CLICK ON OUR NAME - TEA PARTY VICTORY - FOR FACT AND TRUTH.

[jbiddleston]

@TeaPartyVictory Yes Ron Paul is dangerous. To the status quo! ... And he is the "Father" of the tea party. Check your tea party history.

[stuaone1]

Ron Paul dont know what he's talking about.

[luvm1chael]

@stuaone1 obviously he's alot smarter than you...go back to school and learn how to speak correct english "dont know what he's talking about"? yeah ok...that's why he's still in the race for president...makes more sense than the others combined...he's also the most honest politician we'll ever see

[jnicolettebailey]

Again Ron Paul is placed to the side so the camera will only zoom in for the majority of the time on the 3 paid idiots. Subliminal messaging and YOU DON'T EVEN NOTICE IT! Are you angry yet?

[dontbelivewhatyourea]

Brian Williams should have started them out and kept them on track. It's like he/NBC purposely got them off on he says/he instead of a hard hitting question about the issues this Nation is facing!!!! These debates are nothing more than "non-reality" shows so that the networks can make money....damn shame.

[tehlokey]

ELECTION IS RIGGED, HANG THESE TRAITORS, RON PAUL 2012 ELECTION IS RIGGED, HANG THESE TRAITORS, RON PAUL 2012 ELECTION IS RIGGED, HANG THESE TRAITORS, RON PAUL 2012 ELECTION IS RIGGED, HANG THESE TRAITORS, RON PAUL 2012 ELECTION IS RIGGED, HANG THESE TRAITORS, RON PAUL 2012 ELECTION IS RIGGED, HANG THESE TRAITORS, RON PAUL 2012 ELECTION IS RIGGED, HANG THESE TRAITORS, RON PAUL 2012 ELECTION IS RIGGED, HANG THESE TRAITORS, RON PAUL 2012 ELECTION IS RIGGED, HANG THESE TRAITORS, RON PAUL 2012

[Bergertim]

@tehlokey Fortunately, we don't hang political opponents in this country, like they do in places like pre-invasion Iraq, Iran, North Korea, etc. Why don't you move to one of those countries and stop trying to ruin ours?

[jbiddleston]

@tehlokey The election is not rigged. It was dead people that voted for Newt Gingrich. So maybe we should educate them?

[IMurderdTheDevil]

Newt is correct,,DISMISSED...

[IMurderdTheDevil]

The ads were started by Romney and now he doesn't like the turnabout..

[IMurderdTheDevil]

romney ,,shut the fuck up and stop crying..

[IMurderdTheDevil]

FUCK THE MEDIA AND THE ESTABLISHMENT..

[IMurderdTheDevil]

GINGRICH FOR PRESIDENT.

[1kemistry]

Gingrich lives in his own world of self denial. He can call Romney a liar all he wants but it doesn't change the fact that everything he said was correct. Gingrich is a lobbyist and an influence peddler. Everybody that has worked with him has said he is a horrible leader. Stated plainly, if you vote for Gingrich you are a moron. Good job South Carolina.

[ryanlifts100]

Ron Paul 13:25

[janman502]

RON PAUL!!!!

[zacstites]

a Leader has to lead the free world.. and the free world... has to lead the whole world? The fuck.. lets run america.. before we go fucking with other countries problems. We can't even solve our own.. RON PAUL 2012

[RectifieD]

Dear America,

In what I hope doesn't happen, but if you've wasted your chance at voting in Ron Paul in the White House. Send him to Britain so we can at least fix one capitalist country.

[eighmii]

I've came to the conclusion that the only reason Ron Paul isnt doing better in the polls is because a lot of his supporters are young and registered Democrat.. its the only thing that makes sense with all the supporters out there..

[LateDecember1]

Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest---Santorum, Newt, and Mit ------> Vote Ron Paul Save America and the world!

[17klott]

America RON PAUL is your last chance to save your country. If you dont vote him in you deserve to go down the shitter. Send him to Canada we could use him if you dont.

[tidewaterboy1]

At least Romney hasn't been "above the fray" in the last couple debates. He used to sit there and watch the other candidates hang themselves. Now he's putting his head in a noose. It just depends on who jumps first.

[tidewaterboy1]

@PrettyReptar1 They always ask the audience to be quiet, in all if the debates.

[tidewaterboy1]

@darkstonecastle If you think Romney is no match for Gingrich, then you're just fooling yourself. Now, I am NOT a Romney supporter by any means- I would have to say I'm probably for Santorum. Just not Romney or Obama. But I still think Romney is going to get the nomination. But, I don't think he'll be elected. Obama is going to be POTUS for another term, I believe.

[liOVERLOADil]

@tidewaterboy1 If anyone but Paul is nominated, Obama will have four more years. Polls show that Independents and Democrats will vote for Paul and not the other three. The GOP badly needs votes from these groups otherwise Obama will win in a landslide. You want four less years of Obama? Support Paul.

[darkstonecastle]

Romney should hang it up. He is no match for Newt.

[joey07311984]

You know, I don't like any of them...but SNL makes fun of Newt saying that he doesn't want to be there, which is hilarious, but I think they should focus on Santorum...now that is just the definition of crazy. But if I were to choose the lesser of 2 evils, I would say Romney.

[TheSurvivorFanatic]

I think it's laughable how delusional Newt Gingrich is, and how he he tries time and again to assert that Reagen had a sound economic and foreign policy that we should be trying to get back to. It's depressing with all the years of reflection people still think that Reagan had a strong presidency for this country. We saw the national debt double under him, his economic plan was a crock and every time these idiots lap up the nonsense that Gingrich is saying about it I want to weep for our future.

[reeceyj95]

I think Obama has won all of the debates. GOP candidates not strong enough.

[harj2009]

too many debates

its turns politics into a presentation who can present themselves the best, who has the best talking points

no talk about the real issues of massive inequality , lobbyist-corruption, bailouts , or human rights abuses in afghanistan

debates also give TV networks WAY to much influence they control the format and the post debate spin

thats too much power in the hands of FEW tv networks and spin doctors

[PrettieReptar1]

Gingrich is something else. First, he admitted Paul was right about the Federal Reserve, then later in the same debate he quotes Alan Greenspan. WTH?!

[PrettieReptar1]

Gingrich says he was a "Washington Historian" but that's not a lobbyist or influence peddler... LOL!

[Iwetbeds]

its funny that rick santorum talks about limited gov't. does he know what that means? it means we cant police the world and he cant push his christian values on everyone cause this country was build on FREEDOM OF CHOICE, not only for religion but personal freedom itself.

[PrettieReptar1]

NBC starts the debate by indirectly disparaging Paul..3 separate victories, 3 separate candidates...Anyone else catch that?

[PrettieReptar1]

Why keep the audience quiet? I'll bet Romney was behind that--after all the whiny baby threatened not participate in this debate. He was boo'd in SC and it made him feel uncomfortable.

[freein2339]

Mitt and Newt are so full of shit and Santorum is still in the 1800s...Ron Paul is the only republican that makes any sense and he's a little off...therefore.....Obama 2012....He has NOT been perfect but these republicans are not dealing with reality....

[turbo6186]

NBS'c Facebook page was lit up by a backlash of Crappy debate. Especially for Ron PAUL.

[OldBenFranklin]

Mr. Gingrich has a well-documented but rather dubious record as a politician, Speaker of the House and in his personal life. His on-the-job resume and his personal record are both important reflections of his ability and his character. Let's evaluate him not just on his dazzling debate skills, as he would prefer, but also and more importantly on his job resume and the history of his past behavior. Sales pitches can be dazzling, but sensible folks examine a used car for defects before buying.

[pjs2dani]

From 2:26 to 2:57 Gingrich described Ron Paul.

[TruthMakesPeace]

Chicken Hawk Draft Dodging War Mongers: We need to go to war with Iran

Captain Ron Paul (USAF): We don't need another war

[americaisbacktrump]

Conservatives and Republicans have made a deal with the devil to support these three elitist reprobates, that deal will not pay off, not one of them can beat Obama and they have shown that they are as immoral as Liberals and Democrats when they gave a standing ovation to Newts infidelity. Dr Paul is like the hare and the tortoise, his time will come. Truth may yet win.

[americaisbacktrump]

All Ron Paul has to do is wait for The Three Stooges to continue their pretence until the people see through them and then people will start listening to him.

[tfac22]

This entire video is about blaming each other for wrongdoings. Stop arguing and nagging and start telling us what good you might do us. Nevermind...just let Ron Paul educate you and guide us through the necessary rEVOLution in 2012!!

[Nerodz]

Look! It's the latest 'reality' show! A spin off of the Muppet Show, it's the Puppet Show! Drop in, tune out, and concern yourself with anything BUT the ISSUES. Bring on the babies! The kissers are puckered! The turkey is dressed and the buzzards are circling. And now a brief message from our sponsors.

[RPauliticalPeace]

After 12 mittnewts of I, me, you and he from Willard & Newt we get...

Rick and a liitle more I, me, he.

Finally Congress Dr. Ron Paul is asked a question 14 minutes in...

about 3rd party, again... WTF!!! Are YOU new?

Ask ACE an intelligent question and he will differentiate himself from these three playing card jokers with real change answers that involve WE THE PEOPLE... DAMN IT!

Did YOU miss the last 97 answers to this pointless question?

Apparently! DUH!

WE didn't.

[myproject876]

ron paul 2012...gingworm and romney get off the stage you clowns

[oceans19711]

romney destroyed him...gingrich "the historian" seemed pretty weak...though i want gingrich to win so Obama gets 4 more years!!!!!

[marabdl1986]

thank you sir :)

[douglassbryant]

Santorum: Blah blah blah blah lets go to war blah blah blah blah lets go to war blah blah blah

[ListenandQuestion]

@douglassbryant more like-- blah blah blah lets go to war blah blah blah i hate gays blah blah blah why am I still in this race

[TheAnthonywc]

influence peddler, lol I like that

[fagaluvn]

Romney kicked ass

[eurospace123]

Gingrich does not even answer why he waw forced to resigb and fibed they accept thwt answer wtf?????

[katetwp]

Gingrich says "when I was Speaker we had 4 consecutive years with a balanced budget"....how misleading he is! He was in Congress for only two of those years. The budget was balanced from 1998 to 2001.......fiscal years.....and Gingrich was in office up until January 1999.

[eurospace123]

Ron pwul is like jesus

[adrian0613]

"we have asked them to hold applause and the such so its about what the candidates say" or is it you guys are tired of them always cheering for Ron Paul and not the garbage candidates you want to win. lol

[woo2fly21]

thanks for posting so quick!!!

[keverc]

the only one up there who isnt a globalist big bankster whore is Ron Paul. Willard "mitt" Romney , Newt " bankster whore" Gingrich, and Rick "warmonger" Santorum are all just as bad as Obongo.

[UniteForgetLeftRight]

@keverc Gingrich is worse, America and indeed the world will be a police state under Gingrich. The fact that he would attempt covert regime change in Cuba shows that he is just a vicious dog who will say anything he thinks will be popular. Santorum is bad too of course but he has less of a chance that Paul

[ChemicalCription]

Thanks so much for posting

[zapproowsdower]

Yes thanks for posting. Although I've heard that this was the lamest debate yet, questions with even less substance and more slander than usual, etc. Hopefully it'll at least be entertaining...

[MrSuperFilmBuff]

@zapproowsdower yeah it was lame. Mitt and Newt go at it without any moderating for way too long.

[zedart0311]

@MrSuperFilmBuff I THINK it's on purpose as if these clowns fight for 1st place ,and let's face it the big part of the voters seems to elect not objective basis but on who bites most, sorry for having an opinion on how America votes , but in my EU banks they are starting to promote FED regulations and this scares the hell out of me so I would really like to see R P PRESIDENT as A REAL CHANGE IN us and US

GOD BLESS US ALL AND NEVER FORGET AMERICA LIBERTY IS GODGIVEN

[MJAUG2958]

THANKS FOR POSTING !

[MrSuperFilmBuff]

@MJAUG2958 sure thing! cheers from Canada!
