Look at Romney and McCain smile at one another while Paul is speaking. They're like, why doesn't this old geezer stay in his rocking chair. Even in the CNN debate this year Romney acted that way toward him. IF THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU SICK YOU HAVE A PROBLEM! Much respect to Mr. Huckabee for not putting on airs. At least he was a decent, respectable candidate even if I don't agree with his foreign policy.
Conservatives better rise up and pick Romney before it's to late. McCain, Obama and Hillary all want all of the illegals to become legal. That will be the end of the Republican party. Illegals have burdened our schools, hospitals, and prisons for billions of dollars and those three are all for it. Romney is our answer.
I like Ron paul, and agree that he got totally screwed, but he's basically out of the race.
Romney is the only one that can stop McCain.
Listen to McCain for 2 seconds, and you'll discover he doesn't really know anything anout the economy and how it works.
We need some one who has experiance in the business world and who can turn America around. That person is NOT John McCain. It's Mitt Romney. VOTE ROMNEY 2008.
Ron Paul is not freaking electable. Your wasting your vote. You better turn to Romney to stop McCain. He will be a Liberal once in. He has back stabbed our party so many times it's not even funny. Mitt Romney is the clear choice.
I agree with emkoch. McCain is a freakin snake! Dirty politics is his strategy. Just think of how horrible it will be if he wins. He stands no chance against obama nor clinton. Romney would tare those two apart, he is intellegente and knows what he is talking about.
romney is a fuckin scum.... how could you possibly consider him as a great overall leader? he doesn't speak for the people, he speaks for the corporate interests and himself! all these dems and reps are the same... the only one that mentions issues that matter in america is RON PAUL
Yea and your an idiot. Ron Paul can't win. Romney is a good, clear, pro life Conservative. He knows what he's talking about. Paul can't win but you would vote for him and let McCain a Washington insider and back stabber become President. That says a lot about you.
Get a grip man, like i said Romney is bought and paid for like the rest of these idiots, Doesn't matter if Ron P doesn't get elected what matters is the people starting to WAKE UP !! and realize that they are not being used by these corporate war mongerers! I'm actually pro choice women should have to choose what they want... can't believe there are still people in this damn country that still have these ancient puritanical values... this is the 21st century not middle ages!
I am all for Romney I hate McCain. Ron paul made some great points, but he is pretty much out of the race. I think if the Republican party voted for McCain it would be a mistake. how McCain got to the top is by cheap shots and his government friends helping him. McCain knows nothing about economy and really isn't that strong on foreign policy. One example he said a FHA is an organisation it is a type of loan within the HUD program. Anyone that listens to him can see he knows nothing.
Ron Paul is real and speaks the truth... he's not a corporate whore like the rest of these ELITIST bafoons!! the truth of the matter is its bigger then republican or democrat, he is far ahead of the game and knows that this country can't be run by these fuckin criminals
Hey CNN, I believe this is called the REPUBLICAN DEBATE not the McClain/Romney Debate. Get your heads out of your asses and give more time to RON PAUL you ignorant bastards.
It's a cycle people.Ever hear of the saying "history repeats it's self?" They(FR) lower rates and people buy houses they really can't afford. Then the FR raises rates and these people can't make their mortgage payments so they forclose. well who gets the house? The banks do. Now they have all the money the people paid on thier mortgage until they had to forclose and then get the houses back and then sell the houses again. Whoes making the money? The banks are. Wake up AMERICA. VOTE Dr.RP
Let me clear the Mortg. thing up real simple.The Federal Reserve was created illegally. They controll when America is booming or in a so called recession.They "print" money out of thin air and loan it to banks at 3% interest. OK stop.Why do we need a central bank to loan other banks money?Well we don't. So now the FR decides to lower or raise the interest rate depending on how much money they want to make.
One more thing. Does anyone else notice that Shit Rommney and Mc-I'll say anything to get elected keep kissing Reagans ass and bringing up how they agree with Reagen about this and that. Reagan (in my opinion) was one of the greatest Presidents evaaah. But do you here Dr. RP kissing his ass. He's the only one to answer truthfully that he disagreed with Reagan on certain nominations( O'Conner)but Reagan still supported Dr.RP... What a bunch of political BULLSHIT. It makes me want to puke
Are there two candidates up on stage or four? Not once do they ask Dr. RP or Huckafuk to rebutt what the other has said. This is American PROPAGANDA at it's best!! Why don't they ask a question and go down the line for responces??? What a joke.
McCain in 2000: "I cannot in good conscience support a tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us at the expense of middle-class Americans who most need tax relief," McCain said then.
This is the same class-warfare rhetoric liberals use against conservatives, and it has been proven wrong by the growth of the economy since the tax cuts were implemented.
These puppets have been copying RP since the start. Go back and review the debates. I wonder how much hush money the MSM is getting for the censorship of RP!
STOP THE CENSORSHIP! VOTE RON PAUL!
I will be voting for RP. If any of the other three win I will be switching back to the other party. I would rather put up with Hillary, or Obama another 4 years then see any of these goons in office.
What?! McCain gets to address a question asked previously and Ron Paul is forceably stopped from answering. Ron Paul is the only candidate with a clear, lucid argument to make that would actually work before the recession really sets in.
look Mitt is the only person up there that has showed that he can turn failing businesses and governments around. He turned around Mass, and as a Mass citizen I know he did a lot to help the state. He turned around the Olympics, he turned around corporations; I really think we need his approach toward government and treat America like a business and not allow us to make a loss but to turn a profit.
McCain is wrong about Republicans losing the 2006 election about spending, they lost it over the war in Iraq, which is the same reason they'll lose again in 2008.
Is Huck trying to be President, or talking to Ma & Pa Hillbilly rockin' on the stoop? Talks some sense, but what's his message? Romney STUPID to even mention the Big Dig. McCain tries to latch onto some Paulism, and talks some sense, but he looks asleep! Ron says it straight and scores. Out of 10: Paul 8, Huck 6, McCain 7, Mitt 4.
...and isn´t it interesting that mccain and romney, for *some reasons* surprisingly answer in phrases i only heard from ron paul in previous debates???
hmmm... maybe.... because he´s right and people understand that???
i like Paul, but you gotta like the fair tax proposal of Huckabee - Huck and Paul both want to kill the IRS. You also gotta like the way McCain attack the pork barrel spending that happens in the Senate.
fair tax is not fair at all,it is just another way of stealing money from people who earned it fair and square.fair tax is just another way to get that money out of the hands of the person who earned it.
NO TAXATION ON LABOR EARNINGS,NO EXTRA TAXATION FOR GOODS=FREE AND PROSPEROUS NATION.
unfortunately, no taxation means no spending, so you would have to cut all of the govt programs that are funded on tax money. cant have your cake and eat it too. its pretty simple.
How the hell did McCain beat these guys? How?!?!
