[dodgers2213]

of course, Ron calling out Gingrich on Vietname and dropping the jaw dropper: "I was married and had two children, and I went"

OOPS misread the topic

I'm not a Ron Paul fan, but he's right on these points re: Santorum. It needs to be said.

@JedediahBila Jedediah Bila
Ron Paul is right on these points. This is all correct info. on Santorum. He IS a big-government Republican on these issues.

I love this concentration on Ron Paul in the debate. He's a feisty little fellow.

@ezraklein Ezra Klein
Ron Paul's newsletters are racist. Ron Paul's answer on the racism of the drug war is excellent. Both these things are true.

@ByronYork Byron York
Was Ron Paul's takedown of Gingrich the most effective debate moment of the whole season?

So far this debate seems to be all about Ron Paul versus everyone. #RomneyVeryHappy #nhdebate

Some guy moderator asks Ron Paul a question about fp, prefacing --fp is your "achilles heel." Media bias/

Ron Paul just said a mouth full. Gingrich had no comeback.

@AliNBCNews Ali Weinberg
Can't imagine the @RonPaul/@NewtGingrich "I went" exchange will bode well for Gingrich w/ military community in SC

[ThePursuitOfLiberty]

TheSource The Source Magazine
Ron Paul stated "Blacks and poor minorities suffer disproportionately and are put in prison way more than whites...." Bold!!!

For those who are wondering - The Source magazine is a major Urban magazine.
FWIW, Many many minorities have taken positive to much of Paul's message of the disproportions he points out.

"Winners tonight: Mitt (unscathed again), Ron Paul (central to debate). Losers: Rick Perry (I'm not here) #nhdebate "

If that's what happened, then we're alright. You got to get out of these things without saying something so stupid it becomes an issue for weeks on end.

Such as Perry saying we need to go back into Iraq and Huntsman speaking in Chinese

This is weird. Babelfish translate's Huntsman's phrase as "LAUNCH THE ATTACK NOW, BEIJING MASTERS".

I am pretty sure this is Aisha Tyler's Official Twitter (She's a comedian, she was on Friends at one point, and I think she once stated she was Republican) with 150,000 followers:

https://twitter.com/#!/aishatyler

She said some interesting things about tonight's debate including how RP made sense tonight. I don't know how to quote tweets on this board I'm a newb.

[KramerDSP]

Ben Shapiro from Politico called Ron Paul an idiot. I think he tweeted "idiot" in another debate as well. Those guys at politico really hate him.

All of the candidates have flags on their lapels, except Ron Paul, who has one tattooed on his lower back. #patriotictrampstamp

retweeted this one!!

[moonshine5757]

her comments aren't that flattering to paul

[No Free Beer]

"I went"

[KCRPsupporter]

She said RP was making sense but she was "dumbfounded" by it.

[cucucachu0000]

we dont need people to fall in love with the guy just need a crack in the armor of hate for him and it all breaks down from there.

I take that to mean it is new to her and she is amazed because she never looked at things that way.

Israel-firster who always tweets disgusting comments about Ron.

[socal]

I could be wrong but I interpret it to mean that a Repub (RP) actually making sense is dumbfounding - ie, it's a positive comment on RP.

Yea, I took it as a positive comment for RP, especially reading her other tweets about the other candidates.

Anyone familiar with the standup comic Chuck Nice? He really liked the Newt smackdown.


@chucknicecomic Chuck Nice
Ron Paul just served up a big platter of shut the f**k up to Newt Gingrich; never talk about the military to someone who has actually served

https://twitter.com/#!/chucknicecomic/status/155840103615447040


He also tweeted this a few days ago:


Ron Paul is about individual liberty; I may vote for him becuase I want to take a dump on the side walk and not have to pick it up... dreams

Chuck Nice can be funny sometimes. He's got that quick one liner stuff that's hilarious sometimes.

Huntsman's spokesperson:


Timodc Tim Miller
Ron Paul calls MLK his "hero." His newletters called him a "philanderer who beat up his paramours" & "seduced underage girls & boys"


It's definitely personal.

F*ck Politico. Do they really want us mad at them?

[MsDoodahs]

Yes, I believe they do.

[RPsupporterAtHeart]

She said RP was making sense but she was "dumbfounded" by it.

that's the first sign of someone beginning to wake up. It's almost like watching a birth :) Great isnt it!

[Liberty Shark]

Huntsman's spokesperson:



It's definitely personal.

Huntsman and his campaign are truly pathetic to say the least. I really would not mind if he finished near last place on Tuesday. They seem really eager to push the "racism" charges by any means or ways. They seem to have a sense of entitlement in regards to NH. Absolute madness.

[jct74]

Anybody know who Derrick Ashong is? He's got a page on Wikipedia, is a somewhat well-known African American musician (band is called Soulfege) and hosts a show called The Stream on Al Jazeera. He tweets a lot of positive stuff about Ron Paul, especially when there is debate going on, and he really liked Paul's answer on the newsletters turning it into a rant on the drug war and inequalities in the justice system.


I predict #RonPaul goes up 5 points before Tuesday. #NHDebate


#RonPaul clearly has issues I will not defend. But raising the issue of our #INJustice system is unprecedented. #NHDebate


Honestly I don't think #RonPaul could have given a better answer on the #Newsletter issue. He nailed that one. #NHDebate


Not a SINGLE clap in audience as #RonPaul excoriates the nation 4 ignoring racism in our justice system. #Bravo #NHDebate


I can't believe #RonPaul is talking #PRISONINDUSTRIALCOMPLEX & racial disparity in sentencing??? A REPUBLICAN?? #NHDebate


Whoah, #RonPaul invokes #MLK & #RosaParks on peaceful resistance. Also tackles drug wars & racism! #DAMN #NHDebate


#RonPaul is GANGSTA. #NHDebate


Q: Ron Paul would u call Gingrich a #ChickenHawk again? A: Uh, yeah. #REASONS2LOVE #RONPAUL #NHDebate

^^ I love it, thats why RP does so well with independents, UNAFRAID to speak truth in a GOP debate

[ord33]

Dave Weigel (Slate) definitely isn't pro Ron Paul:


daveweigel @daveweigel
This is the most aggressive Paul has ever been. Is Lew Rockwell writing these answers?


RT @johntabin: Newsletters! "It's been explained" -- yeah, not by you.





And Paul skates away on newsletters with no follow-up.


We don't have commercials in the debate center. Do people at home see pro-Ron Paul Revolution PAC ads?


I think Paul is using gold to disable the buzzer on his answers.


Also, weeping silently. RT @yyz84: @daveweigel who cares Paul will never be nominee what are you doing with your life? Feeding mediocrity?


Found while checking something in my old videos: Crazy dude asking Ron Paul about "Satan's agenda."

[Badger Paul]

"F*ck Politico. Do they really want us mad at them?"

Helps the web traffic numbers.

Not that big anymore, but she was during the late 90s. Kinda mindblowing when any celeb says anything pro-Paul.
