Romney's $10,000 bet fuels out of touch image

[quidnick]

The roman empire wasn't taken down by lead pipelines and barbarians alone. Internal corruption and feelings of hopelessness, apathy and nihilism ran through the average citizen. The great scholars died and people distracted themselves with the gladiator fights and their own petty grievances. And then most of the world fell into a dark age. I would hate to see history repeat itself... If the voices of reason don't scream out for change and revive liberty, then we're fucked!

[GovernMentalFreedom]

Newt and Romney are surly CON-servitors when ot comes to American people, there sure a lot of them, a big joke on all there gullible warmonger supporters, no wonder why America is falling. it

[ridgetownpimp]

I didn't think Mormons where suppose to gamble...

[yourtreat2]

"Let's be candid" the only reason Newt left Congress is that he was about to be kicked out for accepting $300,000, against the ethics rules that everyone in Congress is subject to.

One of the most vile creatures to ever be elected to Congress, Newt and friends brought the US to a new low, touting Voodoo Economics gave us more, when the truth was exactly the opposite.

A decidedly idiotic representative of the Christian-Right, Newt would kill the US economy, and may be EXACTLY what we need.

[Bander1]

Well Romney is a tool of big business....JUST LIKE EVERY POLITICIAN

He's just more honest and idiotic about showing it.

Romney is done for.

[fulcrumize]

WTF? Romney is a fucking donkey, we dont need another war waging person in the white house ! vote RON RAUL !

[callmeyang]

Ron Paul is the only human being on that stage. Sadly.

[77raymondt]

@callmeyang is he really? getting rid of the IRS is being human? so stupid.

[callmeyang]

@77raymondt Your definitions and beliefs is what makes it seem stupid!

Why should you let big government decide where to invest our earnings?

We are the only species that has to pay to live on the planet, only to keep raping it and killing each-other?

People pay taxes not to liberate themselves or invest on what its right or necessary, but to perpetuate a system that enslaves them and take away their rights.

Ron Paul is the only one Awake in there that understands that quite profoundly.

[XICANOXOC]

Corporate Mitt.

[1316wmed]

all bets are off.

[nycmeemz]

i swear all the republican candidates in this terms election are idiots.. and this is coming from a republican. thank god cain is out.. now its time for a NEW candidate, or else my vote is NOT gonna be republican in 2012

[Blindanddumb]

i didnt see one republican candidate yet with a decent grip on reality. seems to be starting requirement for that party altogether.

[halliburtoncrusher]

it`s amazing how these guys pander to the jewish mafia/israel.

these guys are cowards to the scum who did 911, mumbai, london,

uss liberty, lincoln, kennedy, etcetera, etcetera

[superlativeOFgood]

Why is it that no one in the media has picked up on the fact that in Iowa that bet is a felony? Or does that law only exist for the 99% of us?

[AeolisticFury]

Fuck all of them. Really, it saddens me to see these kind of people getting votes.

[AK8591]

Romney's remark re: standing by but not getting ahead just proves that he is for keeping your TRUE stand on issues tucked under your hat. That's right, continue the tradition of LYING to your constituents about what you REALLY think.

[Bander1]

If Gingrich becomes the US pres...expect secret attacks on Iran...LOL.

[MrROTD]

Paul is the only genuine politician of the bunch, look at those fuckers laughing and joking about important issues they have no fucking clue what they are taliking about, they're just actors.

[Mr12061960]

What I was more surprised about was nobody on stage could not think on the cuff fast enough to comment on how anybody on stage can publicly wage a 10,000 bet, during a time when most of America can't pay a monthly food bill for a family. This was a gift to anyone of them and none caught it. That just tells us that they all are so out of touch with real American concerns..Only Ron Paul seems to be making valid points! I wish he would have caught it

[Floridacracker1955]

Dr Paul 2012!!

[DurzaGaiden]

"Out of touch" is a nice way to put it. I'm more curious as to why we're not seeing any Democrat candidates. They're not seriously putting all their eggs in one basket with Obama, are they? I'm gonna vote for Ron Paul either way, but still...

[MrCharlestonbattery]

@DurzaGaiden that's usually what parties do when they have an incumbent

[superlativeOFgood]

Betting is illegal in Iowa.

Iowa code 725.7 d. Illegal gaming in the first degree if the sum of money or value of other property involved exceeds five thousand dollars. Illegal gaming in the first degree constitutes a class "C" felony.

[moondog50002000]

Romney is unelectable because he's a morman....sorry mistype...MORON *

[C1rcusMax1mus]

RON PAUL! RON PAUL! RON PAUL!

[leepakim]

10.000 for Romney is like 10 for the 99%.

[beaker4311]

this is such a waste of time. the least crazy of the bunch is ron paul. and compared to the avg uneducated voter in america, hes freaking crazy. it would be great if for just 1 minute, we could put invisible friends aside when we are talking about humanity. im all for people having faith in what ever. be it god or the steelers. but, i dont want my president talking to him self in a corner before he decides to go to war with people. cuz of the style of hat they wear. ~end rant~

[tobigforyou]

idiot.

[masluxx]

It is my shtick, that when i want to highlight a point that a disagreement hinges on i will wager a single dollar and try to get them to shake on it so they remember and maybe look for the answer in the future. Mr Romney would more then likely find betting one dollar on a sure thing more then a little foolish but my goal is not take advantage of my knowledge or take advantage of some one else’s ignorance to gain wealth but to help them see the truth

[badgeless]

It's unlikely the liar "hope and change" Obama will be reelected. Ron Paul is the only sane choice out of this group of clowns. If any of the others get in Sarah Palin might as well be president.

[ivangrozny27]

just goes to show the immense and hideously evil power of the Zionist lobby in the States. And the sad thing is if this was a Democrat debate, they'd have pretty much echoed the sentiments of these candidates (excluding RP of course).

[workingclasssociety]

ignore these people

[draoi99]

Democrats and Republicans are just two wings of the same party, the Corporation Party. If you try to change that, like the Occupy people are doing, you get beaten, harassed, arrested and even murdered.

[rdiaz978]

the 99% are wakening to this god evil papel money and what are done to fuck the world to make the next big step to crown in total the nwo. they can control evrithing they want in a papel and the idiots how like to falowing them. but we are a lot more tham this dark side idiot. they know cant win, this is why are puting presure on us.....dont fall in fears... the solution is biger than the fisical mind...if you fall in fears you will lose the game, keep in the light side, this way help others

[joyo17]

Why are they talking about israel and Palestinian? Why not concentrate on their own country where there is economical problem, people without jobs and healthcare and poverty growing.

[Polydynamix]

@joyo17 the answer is simple, the questions were written by primarily jewish producers, delivered by catholic reporters, and responded to by protestant candidates (and one mormon)

[strong8action]

@Polydynamix Jews are more of an ethnic/race of people. Protestants, Catholics, and Mormons are strictly religious denominations, comprised largely of Whites. Therefore, the issue is not between Mormons Protestants and Catholics, but between jewish interests (Zionism, US militarism, US aid to Israel etc.) and White interests (Non interventionism, ending foreign aid, treating Arabs fair).

[mrx00666]

They're all terrible people that don't deserve to be candidates.

[valhala56]

@mrx00666 True, they are all Stupid, Venal, Power Mad, Corrupted-Gingrich. The whole lot,except for Ron Paul. If he wasn't there Running the Republican party would be shown for the miserable lot they are. Oh and that goes for the Dems too!

Ron Paul 2012-For the People!!!

[mrx00666]

@valhala56

If you want Paul as a candidate, I'd actually be all for it. But you've got a lot of people against that happening, on your own team

1. The republican party.

2. Fox news lame stream media.

3. defense contractors(war profiteers).

4. Israel right wing leaders

I actually wouldn't mind him running, and in fact that would make me vote for him over Obama being that Obama has done shit Progressive wise. I agree with Ron 50% of the time, that's more than I can say for Obama.

[valhala56]

@mrx00666 Well I don't get me wrong, I'm no Ron Paul Fanboy but compared to the rest Republican field he is so much better in every way then Bachman-Shoulda been a Playboy pinup-Stupid as all get out, Romney-A Rich Guy wanting to buy POTUS, Cain-Gone Thank god- Perry-A Hick who really thinks he is up to the job-Fail. Gingrich-Probaly the most corrupt & he is leading-jeez I don't even know what to think about that.

Ron Paul is the best of the lot, I agree that is not who the PTB want.

[HASOOTOOBE]

When Dr. Ron Paul is dead, there will be no sane voice left in the Republicans ... or Democrats for that matter.

[barbarash]

Republicans scare the crap out of me.

[floydspiritz]

it's kinda scary that the future of the States, the middle east and pretty much the rest of the world is decided by some half-wit pro-israeli evangelical Christians who will vote for these morons. In a perfect world, if Americans have so much to say in world politics, the rest of the citizens of earth would have as much say in American politics as Americans do.

[masluxx]

When i want to make a point i bet a dollar. I guess by Romneys perspecive that makes me unwise for i could make a lot more money off other peoples ignorance. Yet my goal in life is to help those around me not take thier money........

[dharres12]

Ron Paul 2012

[ivangrozny27]

@dharres12 unfortunately if you don't have a good portion of the insane Christian right backing you, you'll never get the Republican nomination. And Paul's domestic libertarian/economic policies are also unlikely to appeal to a majority of Democrat voters if he runs as an independent.

[Zggrt443]

The Palestinians aren't a people? There were Arab Palestinians in the Levant for hundreds of years before any of your genocidal ancestors had dragged their pasty white arses over to America from Europe!!!

[mrkjsmooth16]

@Zggrt443

you're right. The white people in America will elect anybody that makes them feel good about them being white. while corporations ship jobs overseas and people starving here. As long as the white man is kicking someone ass that's enough for them even though being white doesn't mean a damn thing in American anymore. Just look at Occupy Wall Street, a bunch of disgruntled caucasians protesting for white privilege. them 1% don't and never gave a damn about them.

[seanc03]

@mrkjsmooth16 When you bring petty shit like this to the discussion you're playing into the status quo's desire to have us pitted against one another. Personally I think its discussing, how about being better than the bull shit, not feed into it. Oh yeah, Ron Paul for 2012!

[Zggrt443]

Ron Paul has the deck stacked against him. The Americans will elect a zionist shill and their empire will continue to take lightning steps towards its eventual dissolution. Good riddance.

[pixelspring]

@Zggrt443 . yeah . but i wonder where in the world you live? Because as that Mutha goes down in flames .. it isnt going to be pretty for any of us living anywhere on this little planet. Biggest bully in the sandpit gunna kick some sand around thats for sure.

[rli421]

The people in charge in Israel are watching in delight as their puppets sing and dance for them. The US political system has been usurped.

[lumpfish99]

who are these evangelical idiots who support israel over the country they live in? you live in america you retards NOT FUCKING ISRAHELL.

[Toshirozawa]

I truly hope you all in the U.S. can vote Ron into office and begin a massive turnaround for your country, and perhaps our political situation up here might follow as a result. Do everything you can to make sure this man makes it into office, for the love of humanity.

From: Ontario, Canada.

[denverdog44]

@Toshirozawa Ron Paul...support..Vancouver Canada

[HowlsFury]

most of them are psychopaths and morons. Ron Paul is the only decent one up their and sadly I think even he is mediocre. its sad that so many people will flock to some one to lead them just because he is the only one in the debate who isn't insane or completely corrupt. ( that is a remark on the choice of candidates not on the people them selves )

[Ristar85]

just curious... how many seconds did Ron Paul get this time?

[WorldOfSadTruth]

if the ottoman empire and the USSR never fell the world have looked much better than it does today...

[mastamind9682]

Who's the guy @ 1:55?

[ivangrozny27]

@mastamind9682 Rick Santorum

[06hatter]

i always enjoy the republican debates. "no, i'm less of a human being than you are!!"

the democratic debates are always "i can make myself appear to be more of a human being than you are!!

everyone deserves to die

[Cage71]

ron paul is intelligent when he mentioned the ottoman empire sadly the remaining candidates don't have a clue

[einLesenderArbeiter]

@Cage71 is that where they make the foot rests?

[KlingonSpider]

it sickens me that Israel is even discussed regarding a future president. THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THEY ARE RUNNING TO BE THE LEADER OF THAT NOT ISRAEL. You love Israel that much, then run for office there. Israel is not a little kid anymore, they can handle their own affairs. It's just ridiculous, it seems now-a-days a presidential hopeful has to pay homage to the state of Israel before being elected. Ron Paul is the only true American patriot left that is running. RP 2012

[smokydave]

@KlingonSpider because evangelical christians believe that it's necessary for the jews to rebuild the temple for the end of times to begin, the rapture, etc etc. Think it's stupid? I agree.

[sostrother]

@KlingonSpider agree with everything except the ron paul part

[phatric]

@KlingonSpider Though I see your point... and it's a generally good one...

... Israel would not be a country if it was not for the US. From taking the land after WW2 for Israel, to providing a military, economic funding every year since its inception....

.... ya, Israel is VERY important. It's the "mini-USA" of the Middle-East.

hmmmm.... a Jewish President? Then all your Federal fiscal worries would go away...and give us a real reason to chat about Israel for reals! : )

[Leofus1986]

I love Ron Paul

[Brambleiah]

$10,000 bet! What a child! Ron Paul will take $39k for his income as president. Romney sure as hell wouldn't.

[yoransom]

RON PAUL 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheOkham]

Romney never misses an opportunity to come across as a pompous doofus
