John King: "Governor Romney, here's my opinion about how you would answer the question from the audience, now can you talk about something else instead? Tell me about your executive orders."

Does Rick Santorum really think that cutting military spending and cutting veterans benefits are the same thing? Or is he just willing to stoop to any excuse to justify the military budget?

Funny video. The pundit says Paul would lose to Obama, and then the evidence for this consists of a poll showing Obama ahead of Romney and Paul if Paul runs third party. OK, but what if he wins the nomination? They don't offer a straight-up Paul vs. Obama poll. From what I've seen, Paul does near...

How can a candidate for president not already know what this legislation says?

As neither a pothead nor an establishment media tool, I'd much rather be the former.

@bobisaboy I'm voting for Paul. I just think the reason he hasn't attacked Romney for corruption is that Romney isn't corrupt. Just because I'm a Paul supporter doesn't mean every other candidate is bad in every possible way.

@JaguarSoundBlaster Gov. Johnson was included in some of the earlier GOP debates, so he doesn't qualify under the "not invited to previous forums" rule. I do wonder, though, where all the minor party candidates are. These guys all appear to be Republicans or Democrats.

Paul absolutely kicks butt in this segment. The hidden racism of the war on drugs and military expansionism are why he is best prepared to beat Obama in the fall. Other Republicans have no appeal to the minority vote.

I strongly suspect Congressman Paul would not agree with everything in this video, and his name was inserted in the title just to get views.

@volumedealer1 Can't do that in a 30 second ad, and Ron isn't at his best when he tries to do too much with too little time. Besides, GOP primary voters already mostly agree with this.

@Tradeofjane Libertarians blame everything *political* on those who would use force to make others toe their line. Those people gravitate toward government, because the government has a monopoly on force. Not all problems are political. Terrible evils will always be part of the world. Government ...

@arrghgarry Uh, I didn't say that. I'm not happy with either party's brand of hand-outs to the base.

I love Dr. Paul and agree with this message. But In what sense is this banned? I find it weird that Stossel couldn't air it; he has his own show, after all. Did they actually tell him he wasn't allowed to air it?

What book was Beck talking about at the end?

Funny, most politicians are mocked with their own contradictory or pandering words. Paul's opponents seem to have a hard time with that.

"Voted against funding our troops while in combat" is the one charge that deserves an answer. Bear in mind that the Pentagon has a ton of money. If Congress failed to fund a war it wouldn't immediately deprive the troops of equipment. It would force the President to negotiate with Congress and ev...

I watched the video. I agree that if we have a global empire, an alliance with Israel makes sense. I also support Israel's right to defend itself against aggressors like the PLO, Hamas, Syria and Iran.

Still, should our bankrupt nation borrow money to give to Israel? It seems to me we can conti...

@starsandbarsforever Again: what leeching? She's accepting charity from kind people, who are acting heroically. I don't defend the decisions that put the mother in this situation, but I'm glad that others in her community are trying to make the best of it. They're doing God's work.

How can you s...

@spikespin I will leave you with one last thought: What if the existence of God is not axiomatic, but the presence of God is? That is how it seems to me, anyway. And it explains why all the attempted proofs of his existence fall short. But if you ever experience his presence, it's self-proving. B...
