  • Ah, the typical political evasive responses. They address that there is a problem, but never say how they're going to fix it...

  • Thompson and Romney don't answer the question "WHAT WILL THEY DO?" The only cut significant enough would be the defence budget which none of them except Ron Paul would cut. Ron Paul is the only one who would end all wars and bring all troops home immediately. The military industrial complex however will do its utmost to make sure the war machine remains generously oiled.

  • ROMNEY.... said don't over spend (Obama has done this and now look!!!) and is the ONLY one who mentions Asia.... back then and today.... ROMNEY IS THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT FOR THE ECONOMY - PERIOD!

    The latest Congress / Senate election speaks to this as well.... OUT with the spending fools and in with people who know, understand and can make things right!

    GO ROMNEY....

  • well, if one of the leading nation in terms of... well almost everything: democracy, military, science, technology..... the USA has so many problems, than what should a tiny country like Romania hope for for the future? :((

  • @bbphnix Never to become like the United States.

  • 9/11 was an inside job ... Proof ... youtube.com/watch?v=ssuAMNas1u­s

  • Social Security needs to be replaced with energy investment accounts. You put as much money as you want into geothermal energy. Than they store the energy produced to back a dollar. You than get rid of medicare and social security with this. Also you replace welfare and medicaid with job insurance. There will be 2 kinds the public option one which is 100% paid for by you and always must be balanced and private which works however the private wants it to work.

  • strength in illegal death squads...

  • But if you disagree with whats below, its kind of hard ot explain why, isnt it ?

    Perhaps i should just say "Its an unstable financial crisis, which has led to a reccessionary deflate in the environment of the financial industry".

    And its gonna cost - EVERYHTING ! FOREVER !

  • They are gonna charge you INTEREST (Usery) on the money you just borrowed, to pay the money you didnt borrow, from the peopel who lost the money you didnt borrow form them, so they dont go without the money they spent , but are claiming they lost on your behalf, due to YOU borrowing too much, even though you dont feel you borrowed anythign, and theyve already admitted it was them who borrowed it (pn your behalf) and spent it (on your behalf) !

    But i still cant see how its YOUR problem !!

  • We face Jesus coming back during an Osmonds concert in Branson...

  • very democratic and civilised of you... Racist bastard.

  • they only restated that it is a problem... they never actually said how they would fix it

  • They'll burn assignats

  • If John McCain makes it to be PRESIDENT he will finish off "GEORGE BUSH RECESSION" and take AMERICA into a "GREAT DEPRESSION". The reason why is because he wants to stay in IRAQ and that is the reason why our economy is down. To be truthful "BARACK OBAMA" is the only CANDIDATE that can restore our relations and CHANGE the way eastern countries look at us. Now if we stay in IRAQ and lose more TROOPS and more MONEY we won't be able to fight a war with a super power.

  • were in afganistan also idiot , but i guess your just gung hoe on bashing the president.

  • Well when the so called "PRESIDENT" FUCKS you and your kids and there kids future up, you will be looking gung hoe STUPID LOL.

  • obama will fuck you up, and you'll probably vote for him. I cant believe in this day and age americans would want to elect a black muslim into office. Do you think he would be tough on muslim terror? I think not. Stupid young libs want this guy and they might just get what they ask for. More entitlements for blacks and other minorities, higher taxes, political correctness, free abortion to all. What a disgrace the democratic party has become. JFK would be rolling in his grave.

  • Well give thanks to his "WHITE AMERICAN MOTHER" because she raised him you DUMB ASS. So kill your RACIST BULLSHIT! Everybody knows that all that dumb shit is old NEWS. P.S OBAMA is not a MUSLIM so get your facts and your LIFE straight you IGNORANT FUCK. 2008 VOTE FOR OBAMA THANK YOU!

  • No thanks, Ill pass.

  • I dont like John McCain either. I'm not voting this time because their is no conservative alternative.

  • That's OK! But I do think you should vote for OBAMA, he's a good guy.

  • John McCain won't be able to run a national campaign with the FEC mess. That means Huckabee or Paul could have a shot at the nomination.

  • im a liberal...

    but if there is no one i really like i just vote for who i think is the lesser evil. lol

    i like obama tho this time

  • Thompson and Romney are just sound bites... NO answers.

  • Truly..........why is it that this guy, above all others, always says something about Hilary.......I mean, trust me, I am not on her side, or any body in particular for that mater. But this whole act they put, comparing themselves to how bad she is, and how dumb she acts, it's very very immature. I truly hope this guys don't get elected. Truly.....

  • FUCKFRED08!!!!

    facts about Ron Paul:

    Won more straw pols then any candidate

    Won more post-debate polls then any candidate

    more then 100,000 thousand volunteers

    6.5 mil record breaking fund raising in 1 day

    more donations from military active/retired

    awarded taxpayers best friend 10 years in row

    yea baby!!.WooT the revolution is on!

  • Sorry but RON PAUL doesn,t have a chance! (2008 VOTE FOR OBAMA)

  • shut up do not use the n word

    you ugly retard

  • its a new law - all answers must mention Reagan.

  • Just imagine had Ronny Raygun decided premptive attack was needed against the USSR as they posed a "real threat" to our security! We would all be dead! Easy to say "all options" are on the table against a country that poses no threat, but if they were saying that about Russia or China, instead of Iran, everyone would think they were insane and never elect them to a public office! They would be what they are-warmongers!

  • Hi come to Jesus tonight is the best policy for the USA.

  • Fred is horrible

  • Fred Thompson supporters, help spread the word about the "CFR". Thank you

  • neither the gop or the dems have the answers

  • aLL OF THE QUESTIONS WERE PLANTS BY THE LIBERAL CLINTON NEWS NETWORK, THANKS FOR A LOT OF SMOKE AND MIRORS CNN AND YOUTUBE.

  • ELECT RON PAUL...and oh, by the way, here's your constitution back.

  • Come back to God thats the best Policy.God bless everyone here for Loving Jesus.

  • Religious-deluded people flew those planes on 911, which prompted another religious nut to order the illegal invasion of Iraq. We need less religious lunacy not more. Jesus is dead. We're alive.

  • Well, I think that people's personal beliefs usually are the basis for their actions. It's not just people who are religious.

  • I'm with u

  • the pathway of Ronald Reagan?? You mean building up a huge debt??

  • Romney's generic "applause"-statements make me sick. What a flop. As for Thompson, he's addressed the actual issue, but failed to answer the question.

  • I wish they got Ron to have a go at that one.

    He will remind everyone that the US cannot afford the current level of war they are committing to. He has studied economics for years (he says), thats what made him make the massive leap from medicine into his flawless career in the Senate.

  • WTF! I'm watching as I type. WOW

  • Bla Bla Bla I did not hear and solution in this clip. They said we need to do something but they did not say what. We were going deeper in the hole during the Reagan Administration as well.

  • 51% of our Federal Income Taxes goes to pay for False-Flag Wars. We have a 51% Federal False-Flag War Tax.

    Iraq War False-Flag War

    Vietnam False-flag War

    Spanish American War False-Flag War

    Iran the next False-Flag War

    51% of your Federal Income Taxes pay for these wars. Who really benefits from False-Flag Wars?

  • If you are around the same age as the person asking the question, better start saving some money for the future because it's not likely there will be social security for you when your old.

  • DING DING DING DING, Governor Romney said Hiliary Clinton, that's this election season's magic word!

  • obama 08,

    the only one who can stop these warmongers

  • Get over ur self. Obama doesnt even have a chance. I'm no dem, but if he by some chance wins the primary he want have a chace in the general. Hillary will be the only one with a chance. do ur homework.

  • i have done my homework, there is too much hat against hillary for which reason ever. But just look at the polls. Hillary is loosing against all reps but obama is winning against them.

  • But he could never win imdependednt voters is the keys state in the primary. He also needs to go on real shows & stop dancing with Ellen & telling us whats on his Ipod

  • Lots of hot air as usual. "Im gonna straighten out this country because I wanna straighten out this country and because this country deserves to be straightened out" Unbelievable. Also whats with the drones in the front row. Who told them to sit at attention?.

    RP 08

  • The only issue Thompson and his wife care about is Islam.

  • WTF makes u say that. What do u no

  • by "no" do you mean "know?"

  • I vote for Romney as my weatherman...Fred Thompson's pretty right but I can't have a President that looks like a damn zombie.

  • Great Depression 2. Get Ready and don't forget to send a thank you note to the Federal Reserve corporation. lol

    9 Trillion and counting with no limit on America's credit card.

  • Is Romney made entirely of petroleum products. Barbie's Ken looks more real than this dude.

  • why are they always taking shots at hilary clinton instead of answering the questions???

  • cuz shes a stupid woman

  • Wow. what an intelligent and thoughtful comment. Your mommy must be really proud of you.

  • ha. yea it's kind of pathetic.

  • To me it's kind of insulting they feel the need to point out Clinton to all of us. I think Americans are bright enough to notice her double-talking, and speculative stances on issues.

    I think we realize more then ever, it really matters who we put in office to fix the mess Bush leaves behind. Therefore, I think we're playing close attention to everyone.

  • Ooooh your a real tough guy! I bet your one of those douchbags who watched Full Metal Jacket 10 times and goes around telling people you in the special forces! Grow up you moron!

  • how do you pay 2 trillion dallors in debt?

  • :( Perhaps we can go with the solution we have done for the last few years and say FUCK IT and spend more!

    sarcasm

  • ....and who increased the national debt to such an extent? A Repub President and Congress.

  • I've watched some these clips four or five times over again and it seems like they are all trying in some way to emulate the Reagan administration. The biggest problem is that we will never again have the finances to do so.

  • is it just me? or do they all just repeat the question and act like they anwsered it? excepet ron paul! , ron 08!

  • I was rather glad Romney identified the issue as a problem, 'cause I was confused-- I thought the questions was "How do you intend to solve the financial windfall that is debt which has so graced this fine nation?"

  • it's just you.

  • I wish some of these guys would answer the question.

  • Face it.. Politicians are rats!!

  • only 40k views wtf, people need to get to know there candidates so we dont vote for another George W.!

  • and people complain because they dont like bush but they didnt vote

  • I don't like him but I wasn't old enough to vote for him or against him even if I wanted to... now I am old enough and I am proud to be voting for Ron Paul :)

  • give another fuck?

  • Cool graphics Adam

  • Go have another drink, Fred.

  • If you're worried about 'social security' which people PAID INTO FOR FORTY YEARS OR MORE, then end this useless, money burning war NOW! Please view searchword wilburjr-thanks.

  • Neither Fred Thompson or Mitt Romney answered the question. Fred Thompson said that he would protect his generation from our generation. Ok great, but how? Why do we continue to have these debates but no questions are answered, it is always the polictical mumbo jumbo.

  • I just don't get it... The economy was a wreck under Reagan. Savings and Loan Scandal, record spending coupled with tax cuts. Massive job outsourcing, privatization failures... Yet they all talk like the economy was wonderful under Reagan... Jeez

  • Reagan dropped unemployment rates to only 5.5% and he dropped inflation from the 13.5% of Carters adminstration to between 4%-6%... The economy under Reagan was pretty damned good... the country was in debt, but it is always in debt...

  • there are very few times that the budget was balanced... the most recent time was during Clinton's administration... the thing about that is that people accredit balancing the budget to Clinton, but it's Congress that sets up the budget... congress was run by republicans and clinton just put his name on it... and we couple that with the fact that now bush has put the country into one of its most substantial debts yet... reagan did a fantastic job as president

  • Thank You for questioning the revisionist history

  • did he say strenghten the miliatry ? thats where all the money is wasted...

  • The framers of our Constitution outlined, four core reasons for the federal government. Which were: (1) national defense, (2) preservation of peace between states (civil wars, riots), (3) regulation of trade between states and with other nations, and (4) international relations. (note 'national defense' was listed as #1 - - thereby being the priority). The military is the reason you have the freedoms you have today.

  • there is no such thing as freedom in this day and age.

  • dabestdude, so I guess you can be expecting the goverment to break into your home and torture you until you retract your statement then?

  • You say that like that kind of thing doesnt happen on a daily basis to someone somewhere?!..

  • Let, us revise... dabestdude, you said "there is no such thing as freedom in this day and age", but I consider myself free. You statement is now incorrect.

  • Well "considering" isnt knowing. if you consider something, there is an element of doubt. So still correct?? not quite.

  • you are changing your comment. you began with "there is no such thing as freedom in this day and age." PeacefulParadox's comment is appropriate, he didn't need to revise it. We are a free nation. We are granted rights that other countries are not. Considering aside, America is the land of the "free".

  • "We are granted rights"?

    "or guaranteed."

    Wave of her magic wand and your now a human being.

    Anything that is a right is that way because you are born and birth gives you rights. The government can either guarantee those rights or block them. Rights can never be taken or given. The constitution doesn't grant rights, it grantees them. by creator or nature, I have the right to breathe. The government can block it or guarantee it. They can't take or give rights. Sorry to butt-in.

  • That made no sense in the english language. So please go away. And America isnt 'FREE', nowhere is, you are governed by a 'state' who tell you what to do, and what not to do, you cant be free when thier are laws telling you that you are not, especially in america, the land of the oddest laws. Own a gun at 15, Drive at 16, but have to wait till your 21 to drink. Brilliant.

  • well i'm not american... nor do i know your constition , i feel u americans waste money on your military, trillions of dollars every year? r u kidding me , how do u people justify that?

  • part of it is justified by exploiting the people's fear of "Jihadism", "Islamo-Fascism" and more recently "Domestic Terrorism"...

  • "Strengthen our economy."

    Could you possibly be more vague?

  • i see their mouths move but they are not saying anything to answer the question. blah blah blah............

  • I will never understand why republicans worship Ronald Reagan so much. He was a sup-par president at best and was lucky he had Oliver North to cover his ass in the end. But yet present day republicans will reference him to no end.

  • Excuse me? Ronald Reagan is probably the most popular president since 1945. He lowered taxes, beefed up the military, reduced inflation, freed hostages, ended the cold war, signed treaties that reduced nuclear arms. How is he a subpar president? You liberals say anything to diminish the accoplishments of Republicans or Americans.

  • reagan has only become popular recently. while he was president, he was widely thought of as a sub-par and only semi-intelligent president. republicans of today bring him up a lot since he's really the best they've had in a while. the party's last 4 nominees to become president were bush I, bush II, reagan, and nixon.... not a good group to choose from.

  • one thing that ronald reagan did was use peace to rid of communism. i don't see anyone up there on the panel doing that much less the neo cons whom hold reagan as God.

  • yea but he still damaged the economy that way by lowering taxes..

  • ronald reagan is the reason we are in debt and the reason millitary dictaters rose to power in south america. as well as the reason the world haes us, and why corporations own everything. the only good thing he did was star wars, and we scrubbed that awhile ago.

  • reagan is far from the reason that we're in debt... the reason that we're in debt is because of bush... this war is costing trillions of dollars... reagan cannot be blamed for something when he was nowhere near this vast number... in fact during reagan's presidency unemployment rates dropped to 5.5% and inflation decreased to 4%-6%... Carter's administration had allowed inflation to reach 13.5%... the world hates us for many reasons,

  • however if you want to point the finger of blame it cannot be placed on just one person... most presidents have incurred hate towards our country and thats simple... Carter allowed the Iranian hostage crisis to take place for 444 days... you know how long reagan was in office before he resolved it? minutes... not days minutes... Reagan relieved the country of an ongoing hostage crisis in the amount of time that it would take carter to figure out his left from his right...

  • clinton did little better than carter when he spurred North Korea's nuclear program by giving them a nuclear reactor which wouldn't you know it they turned into a nuclear bomb...

  • last i checked North Korea is one of this nations largest/substantial enemies... you cannot blame reagan for the national debt and you certainly cannot blame reagan for the reason the rest of the world hates us... in reality when you think about it they only hate us when it's convenient for them... they complain about us as a superpower, however whenever they are in trouble (i.e. the tsunami) America is expected to be there with open arms and deep pockets

  • reagan was one of the best usa president but he lived in a different time... this republicans cant say no to everything. they believe in money not jesus... werent fools here, communications makes it easy for other countrys and americans to get a view and judge for themselves... theres good americans, why are the mayority of americans allowing this ultraconservative people to run their country?

  • umm, why was he one of the greatest presidents?

  • most of the things that the world hates us for (chile, nicaugra ect.) happened during the reagen administration. his foreign policy was basically to just spend as much money as humanly possable. im not blaming reagen for todays debt, my last comment was worded terribly, although i dident say anything about north korea.

  • north korea was an example of another president making the world hate us... sry i didn't word that part well either

  • stop buying so much crap and driving everywhere. Jeez. maybe if you didn't spend all your damn money at the mall and on QVC, you could pay for your own damn healthcare. Oh yeah, tax the hell out of the rich while your at it.

  • Baby boomers should be ashamed of themselves for milking entitlments in a time when our Nation has such great prosperity, ask not what your country....END SS now and get your hands out of my pay check

  • Most of the candidates from both sides along with CNN,Fox,MSNBC and all the talk-show hosts, are in bed with big corp., foreign govt., and other interests with wealthy means and lobbyist are serving as pimp so are the media outlets to facilitate this breach of contract with general-public.

  • What was the last thing Romney was saying? I bet it was 'strengthen our fabrics and textiles.'

  • They didn't really answer the question . All things they talk are known by everybody. I think they just dodged the question and tried to get votes. Ron Paul is the only one that pointed out the real reason for all of these and had a plan.

  • romneys a fag

  • Romney doesn't seem to be very good at answering these questions.

  • what the hell was romney talking about at the end? he didn't even attempt to answer the question.

    oh and p.s. reagan is a huge reason why our defecit spending got out of control in the first place.

  • Social Security is not the problem...How about slashing the fucking military budget which is at 500billion! What bullshit! The F-22 fighter isn't serving us too well in Iraq now is it!With the exception of Ron Paul I can't stand any of these lying, fake sacks of shit!

  • Ron Paul is getting no air time.

    This debate is a fraud...

  • It seems that nothing will change. These political rants continue to do what they have always done, keep us waiting and keep us hoping.

  • Romney just endorse Ron Paul?

  • The Libyan Lobbyist looks like a mummy.

  • Wherever the money has to come from now, boomers worked their entire lives and paid into the system. That was our money you already spent. Don't tell me about the younger generation having to pay this obligation. It's the same as "our" generation paid faithfully paid the premium which warmongers spent like there was no tomorrow.

  • what the hell is romney talking about? his rant doesn't have anything to do with the question itself. all he's doing is typically bashing hillary (and by extension the left) and making allusions between himself and regan. he's a total moron and dodges most any question with a quality on par with that of the bush administration.

  • Romney is building an 'everyman's vote' based on 'everyman's boat', which always sinks

  • It is ridiculus to expect a complex problem to be summarized with a 30 second response. If this is how our ADHD society will decide who the next president will be, then we will continue to get what we deserve.

  • Am I the only one who thinks that Fred Thompson is the scariest looking man alive?

  • No. I might go further though. Scariest looking dead or alive

  • god why do they make the worst candidates answer the best questions?

  • There really weren't many "good" questions. Most of the questions asked begged for the answers they received. Any politician will say what they think you want to hear (yes, especially a Clinton). If you really want to know, you must put the work in and actually look at their record. Unfortunately, most of their records are inconsistant and disappointing.

  • Lol haha global jihad, did he just made that phrase up? Honestly why did he have to put that in the question, everyone knows people are facing other problems in the world, just answer the question youre asked, and learn what jihad means before making shit up.

  • romney is such a fucking idiot, all he does is bash people. hes the one flips on every choose he made or has said they should jus not let him talk

  • Wow, they dodge questions and attack Clinton.

  • will any of these old farts be around in 2040?What do they care?don't listen to romney, he never says anything.Just jumps around the question but never gets to the point...he's a douche.

  • Fred Thompson.

    Pill-popping boozehound.

    Can anyone take this alcoholic seriously?

  • His mouth moves but he says nothing.

  • Romney said a whole lot of nothing.

  • No offense, but you obviously didn't get that he had a thirty second response. In debate the thirty second response is used to agree with or state your views against the previous speaker. A short sum up is all that is really allowed by the time.

    Neutrally yours,

    The Informer

  • Once again, the Clinton reference was unnecessary.

  • please VOTE in the republican primaries this election!

    I know a lot of people comment, are mad a shell, but aren't registered republican to vote for Ron Paul. If you need help doing so, shoot me a private message and I'll help you out

  • It would be nice if someone asked them what they are going to do about the economies being manipulated in the U.S.

    Why did Texas have in 2001 like 5 companies on the Fortune 500, and in 2005 they had the top 50 Fortune 500 companies in their state. ITS CALLED MANIPULATION OF ECONOMIES.

  • Ron Paul will actually fix that, Adam Florzak of Florida. Look at all the BS spending he would cut as well as give you your liberty back. LESS government, not more!

  • Have another drink, Fred.

  • What kind of answer was that? Romney????  You DID NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION. . .If you get elected as the Republican Candidate, I'm automatically voting against you, and I wanted to hear Ron Paul's answer, because I'm not getting to hear much from him. . .I liked some of his other answers.

  • the neo cons got us in this mess, not hillary or the dems.

    funny, if you continually screwed up at work, missappropriated funds, have sex in public bathrooms, start major departmental wars, you'd be fired.

    here the neo cons think if they lie & deny enough, christians no less, will believe their bullshit & keep em in office.

    how stupid do these neo cons think america is...wait don't answer that!

  • The sad fact is, that all of the attributes you just mentioned.....starting wars, misappropriation of funds, illicit sex, and on and on and on.... apply to BOTH political parties. Unfortunately, an honest, ethical, and productive candidate will probably have no shot of getting elected.

  • yes, i agree with you ofalltimes.

  • Once again Rom does not answer the question!

    I pay taxes, plus the goverment takes SS and Medicare out of my earnings every week, that money is supposed to be for ME when I retire, yet the goverment is taking it and spending it, MY MONEY! Hey Goverment, don't do me any favors, keep your hands out of my pockets! The Goverment does not care about me when I retire, they just steal my hard earned money for themselves.

  • What the hell are you talking about? Social Security and Medicare are all safe as houses; Congress will just increase taxes later to cover up any shortfall. If you're the average person, if the government didn't tax that money from you, you'd just save less than 1% and spend the rest on consumer goods, then have no equity when you retire. So just be happy that you have something to look forward to, eh? My generation will have to pay for it anyway.

  • Where have you been, the goverment is emptying the coffers of SS to fund the war and other special interests, are they going to pay it back....hell no!!!!!

  • If they don't pay it back, then they get voted out of office. It will be paid back. You are wrong.

  • You'd think considering that this upcoming

    election is the most important election since

    the foundation of America, that the candidates

    would be given nearly UNLIMITED airtime.Just

    goes to show that CNN (corporations) really

    don't care about the future of America.Only

    securing their own valued opinions and their

    own idealisms (let alone money) over the rest

    of us "lesserlifes".

  • Don't you understand, the government is after our money, whether they are in 401k or social security or medicare form. They (both the democrats and the GOP) will keep taking from these funds and "deal" with the entitlement programs.

  • "Strengthen our economy, strengthen our military and strengthen our family." Great....how?

    Wouldn't strengthening our military require *more* money?

  • Ron Paul is the only one who has a decent answer to economic problems.

  • ya see it just goes to show you. In the same manner that a NIGGA on street would take your money and not give a fuck about your future if starve! The politicians responsible for GANKING (to take something away in a sleezy manner)Really do deserve that same title, because REAL NIGGAS DON'T GIVE A FUCK! From the WHITE HOUSE 2da HOOD!

  • The point you made reminds me of what Thomas

    Jefferson said regarding political honesty...

    "The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first."-- Thomas Jefferson

  • romney didn't even mention social security. i really hate politicians
