Ron Paul again comes across as the only consistent candidate with some of the most serious policies to fix the economic issues facing the American people and ending the wars.

Seems however that the reception he got for his positions were quite bad, but I don't really know what you can expect from a Las Vegas audience.

It's also sad to see there being such emphasis on the bickering back and forth between Perry and Romney. It seems like the media wants to single out those two candidates.

Sad.

Perry was booed half the times he talked,but it's still Perry, Cain, and Romney?! Cooper mentioned Paul once but Borger quickly brought up Bachman! They are trying to pretend he doesn't exist. Especially Dana Loesch. She says Cain is the boldest candidate :/ She says, "Looks like it's Romney, Cain, and Paul." with smirk on her face. Mentions of Tea Party movement linked to CAIN, and not PAUL!? What ever. Nothing you media people say will sway me from what I see on that stage. Nice try.

Listen, it drives me nuts that Ron Paul doesn't get more credit for his ideological consistency too. However, it is partially the average Paul supporters fault that he isn't taken seriously. Internet polling and grass roots contributions don't mean anything unless you show up to vote. It is easy to sit at home and be America's armchair patriots but, until it amounts to tangible votes no one is going to take you seriously.

Show up to vote, that is what I am saying.

Obama would mop the floor with any of these guys. Thats the bottom line.

While watching the post debate analysis, I was thinking to myself, were you people watching the same debate I was? lol

This debate really showed the core problem for both the voters and the candidates.

There seems to be a real problem with both the people on the stage and the people in the audience during this debate being able to finish simple sentences in their own language. And they all vote.

Some questions asked by the audience were really poorly delivered even though they are clearly being read from a prompter. That is just embarrassing to watch. And some of the replies were equally bad. Especially Perry.

Debates mean nothing if those debating are full of shit. Follow the money, and you'll know which candidate isn't full of shit. Ron Paul.
