That might have been the most ignorant crowd I've ever seen for a televised political event, they totally stole the show from the candidates.

Guess the answer is NONE of these candidates are "tea party" enough for the tea party...

I thought Ron Paul was the "Tea Party" so why are they supporting Perry. I just cannot like Perry no matter how much I try.

I hated the setup question to Ron Paul about the kid without insurance, but he didn't let it rock him.
Overall, it was a great debate, shame on them for having it during the football game.

Paul was Tea Party before Tea Party was cool (and hijacked by neocons).

for me, the biggest debate loser tonight was rick perry, because of his pro illegal stance.

at least he was honest, but i still don't like it.

i still want santorum to drop out, as he is annoying the heck out of me. (although he gave a good answer on the school shots issue). i think santorum is more popular with the military wing of the republican party and more popular with men than women.

Isn't even Michelle Bachmann more tea partyish than Rick Perry? What am I missing here?
