I'd don't want to be a Santorum either.

I'll vote my principles, and let the rest be team players.

True. And then when he goes off script, he says and does really dumbass stuff - like tonight.

My jaw dropped when he said that to the moderator. I hope it comes back to bite him, too.

Rick was giving Paul an exaggerated hand shake, kind of pretending
they could get along. What possibly would an insightful leader like
Paul have in common with a war mongering Santorum

Paul was right. Santorum is a fake conservative.

Thats a ratio of one terrorist to fifty dead. Quite a sad
tally IMO.

Obama is George Bush Jr in the worst way.
It is sad but it is war. 700 in three years is a hell of lot better than the million in Iraq for absolutely nothing.

Please, vote on your principles. Another vote for Ron Paul is another vote for Obama!

Would love to see the slow motion playback on that .
I sense a lot of hostility in Santorum. A guy that seems to me would fly off the handle, in knee-jerk, shoot-from-the hip fashion ... at the wrong time, if he was President. Troubling.

Frankly, you have three men who are in lock-step on virtually every policy: Santorum, Gingrich, Romney. There isn't much difference between them policy-wise, yet they're breaking the bank trying to convince America that there is a difference. All of them have voted for or supported things that go against their stated views of conscience when they saw a reason to do so. All of them want a more aggressive foreign policy. All of them want to spend billions on building the Great Wall of America on our southern border.

It's really a choice between Ron Paul and your choice of three clones.

The funny part is that Gingrich once against looked great in this debate. Now that's a tad scary, but the man is completely unelectable at this point IMHO. So the question is, will his good showing in this debate steal votes away from the other two clones?
