[Mandrik]

McCain: "He used weapons of mass destruction..." While we were subsidizing them, right?

[phill4paul]

Come on Ron this is where you give it to them!!! gogogo

[OhioMichael]

34 minutes in and this is terrible to watch. I had pretty high hopes for this debate because I thought the candidates would be treated fairly.

[DDMX]

Thousands of our troops death is worth it just to catch saddam?

let them handle their own problems

[kirkblitz]

Lol Mccain You Suck Ass, Owned By Time!

[markj]

WMDs? WHERE???? McCain is a war mongering fear mongering insane idiot.

[specsaregood]

Paul, time to speak up my man!

[Marceline88]

Yay the audience clapped for getting out!!!! WOOT!!!!

[cyrax]

God this warmongering is making me sick.

[angelatc]

The people that thought it was a good idea were lied to.

[MadViking10]

[markj]

[spector]

Ron Paul Straight Answer! Woot Woot Woot Woot

[theswedishchef]

jjjjjiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihhhhhhhhhhhhhhaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa go RON

[GunnyFreedom]

yeahh!!

[Paulitical Correctness]

Paul brings tears to my eyes.

[StopTheNWO]

How Ironic that the only cheers from the crowd are during Tim's question and Ron's answer!

[angelatc]

I love Ron Paul. That is all.

Huckabee is really messing this up!

[SimpleName]

An applause and cheering for Paul! He is speaking so eloquently and solidly. No pushing around the doctor tonight.

[MessyTessy]

YES DR. PAUL!!!!! Clear and concise NO it wasn't worth it....now watch all the babies try to explain it.....oooooh Easter Eggs, cute Huck, very cute!

[Greenskin]

Lol
Huckabee Thinks Iraq Had Wmds

Hahaha

[squandertime]

i think i saw an easter egg in judy's ear

[dw1345]

Huckabee compares WMDs to Easter Eggs? WTF LOL

[Alvination]

F U Huckabee. I will not give thanks to the war.

[Ben Elliott]

Dang Huckabee's an idiot.

[Sandra]

Huckabee waivered!

[HOLLYWOOD]

RON PAUL got 30 second of time to reply on IRAQ!

[Ryokucha]

Cheers Ron Paul, yay, great response!

[Mitt Romneys sideburns]

Easter Eggs?

[Riddle777]

Paul=only one against it.

=viewer recognition.

[SML]

Good man, Paul.

Ridiculous that he was cut off.

Ridiculous that Huck is now acting like Paul is speaking in hindsight.

[spector]

Huckabee Thinks if we "THINK" somone has WMD we should go to WAR!?!?!??!

[Devil_rules_in_extremes]

We Love You Ron!!!!

[braeden0613]

yeah thanks for this great war...

[Virtual Isolation]

Huckabee: WMDs are just "Easter Eggs".

:confused:

[StarKissed]

Huckabee...a man of God...lying his ass off to cover for BUSH!

[dw1345]

Does anyone else see Giuliani making these wierd scrunched up lips-out faces?

[deedles]

easter eggs?

i missed it.

?

[Mass Grave Aesthetics]

Paul didn't "second guess" the president concerning Iraq, Mike, he was opposed from the beginning.

[micheshi]

Huckabee's Easter egg analogy was funny as hell. Just cause no WMDs were found doesn't mean they weren't there. Like Easter eggs, just cause you didn't find them all doesn't mean they weren't planted. LOL

[HooterandGreenway.com]

Ron Paul I want your body

Hey Look Everyone Glenn Beck is on the Forums!!!

[yankee_blue]

OK... Now I want to have Ron Paul's kids... Now!!!

[MessyTessy]

Lol
Huckabee Thinks Iraq Had Wmds

Hahaha

Yes and they're like Easter Eggs....I never went an easter egg hunt and didn't find at least one egg....why cause the eggs are there dumbass!

[rasheedwallace]

fuck a huckabee...


we owe bush THANKS? are you friggin' kidding me??!

[MrCobaltBlue]

Every one of Dr. Paul's responses (albiet the few) has been a slam dunk.

[ProfNo]

Man....they all sound the same except for Ron.

Ron should have also said "I am the only one who can beat the dems"

[TSOL]

No applauding ?!

WTF ?

Bullshit

[GunnyFreedom]

duh, the only Rep that can beat a Dem is RP

[PhillyEagles11]

Huckabee Thinks if we "THINK" somone has WMD we should go to WAR!?!?!??!

Yeah, WTF was that about? That is an absolutely horrible reason for going to war.

[killatop]

HAHAHA...RP supporters settle down...lol that's basically what he said.

[tarabyte]

What Happened To No Clapping??????

that was great

[yongrel]

I hate them all.

[jake]

McCain is such a hard head

[kutibah]

w00t! time for candidates to ask questions!

[MadViking10]

Well, not that its going to make the USA better, but there is now way in hell, that ANY of these morons sans Ron Paul, will EVER be the President of the United States of America !!!

[roflwofl89]

Applause for Paul = BAD - MSNBC

[austinchick]

HUCKABEE is still trying to get something 'biblical' in....EASTER EGG my ass

[zaffa]

MSNBC just told audience not to applaud anyomre. WTF. Paul was the only one they clapped for.

[brandon]

Amount of questions per candidate....

mccain - 5.5

romney - 4.5

huck - 3.5

911 - 3

Paul - 2

I gave 0.5 points for a 30 second answer, and 1 point for normal length answer

[angrydragon]

Go Ron!

[squandertime]

darn what were they talking about with the open mike-
they said (mods) have you seen this - it is unbelievable??

wonder what that was about........

[madcat033]

Whoa what were they saying at the end as tehy cut away? The mic was live and the mods were saying something like "are you seeing this? unbelievable." I couldn't catch anything else.

[tesla23]

Al Qaeda has a safe haven in Pakistan because we went into Iraq and diverted attention away from that area!! Jesus, why is Ron the only sane Republican up there who doesn't lie and resort to fear of terrorists?

[RSLudlum]

what was all that chatter Russert: Did you see that? It was unbelievable!

WTF??

[krott5333]

what a nice commercial

[AAjax]

Gosh, go after his supporters again. The truth should be cheered (IMHO)

[Paulitical Correctness]

I think Huck is going to lose support.

[tehRoach]

this is 14 minutes of crap.

[MadViking10]

Dont let the crowd react because they might expose the LIE that is the voice of the PEOPLE !!

[RollOn2day]

Ron Paul spoke for exactly 30 seconds....everyone else was more than 1 minute......

[krott5333]

Whoa what were they saying at the end as tehy cut away? The mic was live and the mods were saying something like "are you seeing this? unbelievable." I couldn't catch anything else.

maybe a new news article or something

[FreedomWon]

God, I can't even listen to this. Dr. Paul is so far removed from their point of view, not to mention that everyone else is just lying.

[See_the_Gray]

Commercial break...

God, I hope Ron rips them all new ones with his questions!

[RSLudlum]

I think russert was pointing out all the blatant LIES!!!

[rfbz]

candidates asking each other questions..this should be interesting

[SimpleName]

No applauding? Absolutely ridiculous. Brian Williams made it a point to say that before he went to commercial. Bullshit, Brian! You are trying to make Paul supporters look rude. BULLSHIT BRIAN!

[Jodi]

Does anyone else see Giuliani making these wierd scrunched up lips-out faces?

Yes I noticed that laughed my butt off!!

[StarKissed]

I hope Dr. Paul creams someone's ass when he asks his question.

Who do you guys think he's going to call out?

Do you think anyone will ask Paul anything?

[Ryokucha]

No applauding. because Ron Paul is the only one who will get any? I think so!

[amonasro]

Easter Eggs?

HAHAHHAHAHA I just about spit soda on my computer screen...

No worries, just the harmless Easter Bunny, planting those eggs :eek:

[tehRoach]

yeah i heard that..... they're kicking everyone out.

[Lucid American]

Yes and they're like Easter Eggs....I never went an easter egg hunt and didn't find at least one egg....why cause the eggs are there dumbass!

Hahaha, nice!

[HOLLYWOOD]

HAHAHA...RP supporters settle down...lol that's basically what he said.

40 MINUTES of DEBATE SO FAR:

RON PAUL given 3QUESTIONS... 3 ANSWERS for a total of 115 SECONDS!

Not EVEN 2 minutes of rebuttal! THIS IS BULLSH*T!

[Devil_rules_in_extremes]

Whoa what were they saying at the end as tehy cut away? The mic was live and the mods were saying something like "are you seeing this? unbelievable." I couldn't catch anything else.

I heard that. I was wondering what they where talking about....?????

[Paulitical Correctness]

I hope they ALL try to ask Paul questions.

[angelatc]

Huckabee's Easter egg analogy was funny as hell. Just cause no WMDs were found doesn't mean they weren't there. Like Easter eggs, just cause you didn't find them all doesn't mean they weren't planted. LOL

So we should expect a whole crop of them next time!

[Eponym_mi]

RP will get his one question to ask. No one will ask him a question.

[Agora]

guys....I see dead people :D

in common intelligence I trust - Ron Paul wins

[icon124]

They won't ask RP anything I GUARANTEE IT

[StopTheNWO]

Ron Paul spoke for exactly 30 seconds....everyone else was more than 1 minute......

It's blatant blackout. At least Tim's 'blood & treasure' question backfired on him by giving Paul applause.

[tesla23]

To be fair Mitt Romney also got a little applause in there as well, so it's not just directed at Ron's supporters.

[krott5333]

that tick tick tick commercial makes me want to shoot myself

[theswedishchef]

God, I can't even listen to this. Dr. Paul is so far removed from their point of view, not to mention that everyone else is just lying.

It is Painful to watch.

[RedLightning]

I heard that. I was wondering what they where talking about....?????

Ron Paul's fundraising.

[dw1345]

Yes I noticed that laughed my butt off!!

hahaha glad i'm not the only one seeing that

[Molly1]

He's doing great! :D

[RCRanger03]

he needs to hit one of the candidates on their DEAN SCREAM

Mccain - 100 years
Huckabee - changing the constitution
Romney - Douchebaggery

[RollOn2day]

Ok got a fresh beer.....lets get it on!!!!

[Marceline88]

Score so far......4 hairless apes against 1 gentleman statesman.

God bless you Ron Paul.

[angelatc]

We got yelled at for applauding. Nobody booed. woot!

[Jimmy]

yeah i heard that..... they're kicking everyone out.

OOOOHHHH I would think they would have to do more than ask me to leave.

[AAjax]

Prepare to ignore Ron Paul

[PhillyEagles11]

I have a feeling no one will ask Paul a question. :(

[squandertime]

no one will ask paul a question i bet

[JRuc33]

Mitt's question is more of a campaign commercial.

[Starks]

Romney's asking a fair question.

[Paulitical Correctness]

Your tie's crooked, douchebag.

[SML]

Lol Mitt giving HUCK props.... UGH.

[Pete]

Betcha nobody asks RP anything.

[wfd40]

no one is gonna ask paul a question

Book it

[RollOn2day]

What the F*** is Romneys question???

[RevolutionSD]

No one will ask RP anything.

Will he go after Rudy on history?

[kirkblitz]

romney and the ghoul WORKING together?

[Devil_rules_in_extremes]

Prepare to ignore Ron Paul

Yep..............

[Mandrik]

Hahaha, Rudy! Shut up.

[ProfNo]

Paul will get no questions...watch.

Rudy just admitted that they have it planned out.

[rasheedwallace]

giuliani is such a clown

[webber53]

I am laughing so hard at this staged circus.
I can not stop laughing at Romney, McCain,
Giuliani and Huckabee.
Why would any true republican vote for any
of these morons. They are a joke.
Please someone tell this this is a dream!

[JoeySweets]

"puking"

[srps2233]

Whoa, is Romney openly advocating protectionism now?

[randomname]

good play from mitt :D

[RevolutionSD]

Rudy always looks like he's making bullshit up on the fly.

[rfbz]

romney plays it safe and gives giuliani a soft ball

[96redformula]

Ron Paul should ask himself why he should be elected :)

[fahayek]

look on the front page of msnbc.com

[FreedomWon]

The Mayor has a great smile hey?

[Bruce4Ron]

Get rid of intellectual property !?!??!

What corporation has he ever worked for? They are communists! They have no ethic when it comes to intellectual property

[angelatc]

Rudy should tell Mitt that he wouldn't sell 3Com to China, which is what Bain Capitol is doing! 3Com does firewalls for the US military.

[Starks]

Rudy says we need to be aggressive!

[Pete]

Rudy always looks like he's making bullshit up on the fly.

+1

[RollOn2day]

Rudy always looks like he's making bullshit up on the fly.

New York style!

[96redformula]

Ron Paul should ask himself why he should be elected :)

I didn't like that post number :(

[HooterandGreenway.com]

romney used his question time to state his own platform first...

Hope Ron uses his question time as well...

[roflwofl89]

Who will PAUL ask?? I say ask McCain how we will pay for 100 Yrs in Iraq + what about a draft??

[SML]

Has it been arranged for Rudy to take a dive tonight, or what?

[ProfNo]

Ron Paul should ask himself why he should be elected :)

That would be funny....

He should say, "since nobody asked me a question, I will ask myself a question"

[HOLLYWOOD]

PANDERING PLAGIARIZING HACKS WILL GIVE NEUTRAL questions to one another and BLACKOUT RON PAUL...

TIM RUSSET & BRIAN WILLIAMS... Both of you are CORPORATE LYING WHORES!

[29ytsejam]

RP will pull a Kucinich and ask himself a question.

[mikeInAZ]

G-man is tanking right now. He's history.

[ronpaulfollower999]

look on the front page of msnbc.com

hmm...

[d991]

How can you sell China energy independence??

[SimpleName]

romney and the ghoul WORKING together?

WTF?!!? THey discussed the questions before the show? No, these guys aren't conspiring together. I hate these guys. Hate them dearly and I can not take it if any of them (besides Paul) wins the nomination and I will really be frightened if they become president.

[rasheedwallace]

I am laughing so hard at this staged circus.
I can not stop laughing at Romney, McCain,
Giuliani and Huckabee.
Why would any true republican vote for any
of these morons. They are a joke.
Please someone tell this this is a dream!

most republicans are idiots, i have learned...

[bclemms]

Controlling politics in the middle east isn't enough for Rudy. He wants to tell China how to run their country too.

[TSOL]

Their all afraid to ask Paul anything !

[ihsv]

I think Ron should ask Huck when he's going to drop out :)

[Marceline88]

"China needs energy independence more than we do" WHAT?????

[webber53]

Someone help me stop laughing at these dopes!
I'm embarrassed to be a Republican!

If it were not for Ron Paul I would be a Democrat!

I can not believe I just said that!

[The1dle]

Really hope he blasts McCain on something, extreme that people polled to vote equal between him and Obama. :mad:

Economy is his thing, so hopefully he will ask a difficult such of question.

[dalaamprince]

Does anyone else even feel a little bad for Rudy? So much is riding on Florida for him -- he knows this debate is important. He is imploding and his nervousness shows.

Still a bastard though :D

This is going to become a 4 man race methinks.

[Mass Grave Aesthetics]

Giuliani - "increase size of military substantially"

[Starks]

Fair Tax is better than nothing...

Perhaps.

[AAjax]

Those four are gonna ask each other all their questions.

[MrsG]

Ron Paul should ask himself why he should be elected :)


:) I'd love to see that!

[ihsv]

Cool!!!! Fair-tax question!

[huntx7]

McCain just asked the world's longest question. And Huck is bashing the IRS

[Marceline88]

Uhhhhm is this a debate or a circle jerk?

[StopTheNWO]

Fuck You Huck!

WOULD JESUS STEAL???????????????!

[ProfNo]

How about a fair tax of 0?

[MGreen]

Someone should ask Paul if he's planning to run third-party.

[Starks]

Dr. Phil McGraw?

[Devil_rules_in_extremes]

What the HUCK!!!!!!!!

CMON!!!!!

[erich17]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I can't believe Huckabee.

[Mandrik]

OMG, I'd love to have the IRS abolished...and replaced with nothing. The fair tax can DIAF.

[jerrilynn]

I think that McCain is planning on having Huckabee as his VP.

[djlindholm]

I am disgusted. How can these be the finest Americans - those who are worthy of being president? The things that come out of these guys' mouths are appalling, and I can not understand how anyone buys this crap. Do we live in a country of idiots?

I'm going to have to move soon... move out of this shit country...

...The above excludes Dr. Paul

[RevolutionSD]

"Fair" tax give me a freaking break!
It's even worse than what we have!

[ihsv]

Fair Tax is better than nothing...

Perhaps.

"Nothing" is better than fair-tax

[Signzit]

All these Hacks sit around smoking cigars and play'n golf together.

What the Huck?

Play'n poker in the CFR's Lobby with the Bilderbergs!

[randomname]

FU McCain

[squandertime]

ok,ok,ok here it is an endorsement from huckster to paul!! after he pulls out!!!
who else would he endorse??

[HOLLYWOOD]

5 minutes back from the commercial... McAMNESTY/McISRAEL just rambling... what's he saying?

GIBBERISH

[AAjax]

IRS abolished, steal Ron's Stuff

[tesla23]

Ron should ask why Giuliani won't ever stfu about 9/11. If not for 9/11 Rudy wouldn't be close to where he is right now, people would just be saying "Rudy who?"

[rp08orbust]

WTF!!! Are McCain and Huck on the same team?

[cayton]

What a softball question! what were you thinking mccain!

[bclemms]

He is a kook until the neocons need an idea to spew.

[Delain]

God this is so sickening.

[ihsv]

It sounds to me like these guys are working together to give each-other a chance to toot their own horns....

[Starks]

Pimps are non-Republicans?

[wfd40]

Ron Paul should ASK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE A QUESTION

[RevolutionSD]

Fair tax sucks!
How the hell are they going to enforce that?
Massive police state?

[Signzit]

HOW 'bout no TAX!

[kutibah]

That was bull....non republicans?

[RCA]

Huckabee is a GONER!!!

[Seanmc30]

Oh, call me crazy, but people who dont know about RP are going to like Huckabee's answer on the Fair tax.

[ProfNo]

Man, we will have less talk time in this debate than any other debate.

[leglock]

Notice how Ron Paul said he read the Fair Tax?

Ron Paul: "I have.."

[micheshi]

Did Huckabee really just say pimps, prostitutes, gamblers...non republicans?

[lasenorita]

Romney♥Giuliani and McCain♥Huckabee. *puke*

[Mandrik]

Longest 90 seconds ever after Romney's first 90 seconds.

[austinchick]

dr. PHIL???

[roflwofl89]

Huck - 90 Seconds Only Plz !!

[Devil_rules_in_extremes]

A follow Up? You have go to be kidding!!!!

[Mass Grave Aesthetics]

Mike Huckabee - stand up comedian

[Pete]

Huck would like to be Mc100's veep.

[wfd40]

what would they rather have... abc or d.. which are all the same, more war, more corporate write off.. more recession.

Or true conservatism... peace.. no war.. less spending.. ETC ETC

and then answer it

[SML]

Oh geeze. Huck.

[HOLLYWOOD]

HUCKABEE.... Where's the USED CARS and plaid Jacket?

[Jodi]

candidates asking each other questions..this should be interesting

This is a set up to exclude RP in my opinion.

[kutibah]

Did Huckabee really just say pimps, prostitutes, gamblers...non republicans?

yes...:mad::eek:

[specsaregood]

Ron Paul should ASK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE A QUESTION

Now that is brilliant.

[jdmetz]

Why did McCain just lob Huckabee a softball?

[d991]

Brian Williams better warn the crowd again for laughing at Huckabee's dumb answer.. oh wait I forgot they only do that for Ron Paul supporters when they clap.

[Mandrik]

I'm sorry for my wording, but this is nothing but a giant circle jerk.

[SimpleName]

WTF!!! Are McCain and Huck on the same team?

Just as Romney and Giuliani are in bed with each other, I'm sure McCain and Huckabee are having an affair behind the scenes

[Sandra]

Fair Tax is a hard sell for fixed incomes in Fla.

[RevolutionSD]

Hey huckabee, how about NO TAX??!

[AAjax]

Wow, Skip Ron again?
