Ron Paul highlights South Carolna Republican debate 1/19/12

[annebeck58]

Know what irritated me so badly about this "debate".? MODERATOR had zero control of the whole thing, allowed repeated squabbles between LilRicky and the Newt.  Honestly, can we PLEASE get onto the important issues and stop this ridiculousness?

I WAS happy to see that Ron Paul did not stoop to the irritating and disgusting level of the other two.

OH, and NEWT/ Cry all you want to over your past-- nobody's feeling sorry for you (I HOPE).

The income tax is necessary and should be expanded to cover capital gains. I.E Romney should pay 35 - 40% on his income (which is largely interest); he currently pays about 15%. Most Americans that make 30K or less and have kids pay NO tax and, in fact receive benefits. It's the bracket from about 75K to 300K that gets hit the hardest. This is unfair and should include the mega-rich as well.

He needs Peter Schiff to explain about the jobs in China. He lost me totally.

@Amyls64

Who lost you?

@KenFresno73 you trully are an idiot, arent you....

[KenFresno73]

@21golden007 No I'm not. TRULY Yours, KenFresno73

[KenFresno73]

I loved how he brought up his military service, but supports traitor Bradley Manning.

[KenFresno73]

He's gonna sink the country into chaos.

[Amyls64]

I think Ron Paul should release his tax returns. Whats he hiding?

[chumumus]

@Amyls64 He said that nobody has pressured him to release his tax return because, unlike Romney and the others, he doesn't have a conflict of interest. Ron Paul doesn't speak to lobbyists, let alone take their money to push their greedy interests. The other candidates are the complete opposite. He also said that he would be embarrassed to compare his income with the other candidates who have acquired a lot of their enormous wealth from sources other than congressional pay. RP=political integrity

[Amyls64]

@chumumus Ron Paul has done very well. Dont kid yourself..

[meinLiebsterFeind]

Yay - cut a trillion! No Roads, no Rail, no Airline subsidies, Yay!

[chumumus]

@meinLiebsterFeind More than 700 U.S. military bases in 130 countries. An embassy in Baghdad, bigger than the Vatican, that cost $1 billion. Foreign aid to European banks. Funding of failed domestic programs (like the Department of Education, etc.). The facts are out there. If we didn't spend so stupidly abroad and at home, the federal government would have A LOT MORE money for roads, etc. It would even eliminate the purpose for the income tax!!! RP=Common sense

[redshirtyear]

@meinLiebsterFeind Those would be some of the last things to go. To get to the type of society in which the federal government does not fund transportation, and still be able to have safe, reliable transportation, would take years and years of work. What you are saying is just hyperbole and a scare tactic.

@meinLiebsterFeind Why don't you try sticking your head up your ass... see if it fits.

[meinLiebsterFeind]

'There was no one out in the street suffering with no medical care" <- LIE.

[meinLiebsterFeind]

LOL their military tradition? Like when we had to go in the first time and level Columbia and all of the redneck slave-owner rebels?

[blueshadow1960]

Rick Santorum seems to be there to allow Romney and Newt more air time by bring up there names there by giving more time for responce and cutting into Dr. Ron Pauls air time. just an observation

[xxNutcasexx]

Wow this is Ron's best debate yet I think. AWESOME!!

[TachoSJ]

Ron Paul the insurgent?

[turkeysub3000]

Let's do it son!
