For all of Ron Paul's answers to debate questions (for quick reference), go here :
CNN / Tea Party Express Debate in Florida 9/12/11 | Ron Paul 2012 | Sound Money, Peace and Liberty (http://www.dailypaul.com/177968/heads-up-monday-9-12-cnn-tea-party-express-debate - broken link)
that was AWESOME
He's the man! They were stupid to boo him, what he says is absolutely true, whether we want to hear it or not. I love his blatant honesty.
This poll is of course unscientific, with the Paul supporters lighting up the board.
If there is one observation that can be gleaned from this poll is that Perrys numbers are scary.
Perrys posse has to find a way to make him more palpable to the public during debates or interviews. They cannot continually attempt to mask his evasiveness strictly relying on plastic appearances and stress free situational television.
This electoral process is going to an in your face pressure cooker-----if Perry cant respond any better than he has, his star is going to smolder.
He was just dumb to even go there. If you seriously want to get elected to an office, you have to know when to keep your mouth shut. Just proves to me that Ron Paul is not serious about this.
Ron Paul knows that sometimes the truth is going to hurt bad!
Tells it like it is. No sugarcoating it, to make it look like a rose but smell like the crap it is.
Truth is not pretty all the time, like the delusional ignorant would like to think it is, to feel all good inside.
The guy is not lying to you just to get elected, like all the others standing on that stage. He tells you the truth, so you can be informed and an educated citizen of the most unique nation on earth.
Rick Perry and Tea Party Support during CNN debate
It seemed that Rick Perry was very much the audience favorite until the Dream Act was mentioned. How can they support him so strongly, given the HPV flap, and the illegal immigrant issue? Was last night the first time most of them had heard about Texas' version of the dream act?
You are right. Neither of us are economists. When it comes to a complicated issue like Social Security, the best I can do is to listen to nonbiased expert opinion. If Republic rhetoric was right, I would support Republic solutions, but it's not. I follow this issue very closely. I have heard numerous informed, conservative economists confirm that Social Security will remain 100 percent solvent until 2037 if nothing is done to fix it. After that, it will be able to pay out about 75 percent of benefits for the indefinite future.
(There is one caveat to this, however. The disability portion of Social Security is in trouble. That will be bankrupt by 2018. I am very open to all good ideas, Republic or otherwise, on how to fix that.)
When it comes to retirement benefits, the problem is miniscule. It can be fixed with simple tweaks. I realize the Repulics would like to use a manufactured crisis to convert my Social Security to a "401K"-type account. I know that 401Ks historically pay far less than defined benefits pensions. I also realize they have already convinced my generation that Social Security will not be there for them, so they will probably be able to pull this off.
I don't believe many are saying convert your SS to a 401K. What is being suggested (and has for many years) young workers be given an option.
I don't know where you are getting this, but this is simply not true. Perhaps you are confusing Social Security with Medicare? (Medicare is in trouble, but it has nothing to do with the government. It's due to the skyrocketing cost of health care.)
and the high cost of health care is partially due to stupid law suits. bring on Tort Reform. That is one thing that I do like about Perry.
Do you fall into the class of idiots or just the rest of us?

Based on my post, what do you think? From the looks of it as well as the history, I would say that I certainly don't belong in the collective where you do.
