These debates are all fluff at this point as its just a bunch of wannabe's saying anything they please knowing full-well they either will never have to back up what they say or if by chance they become President they'll just change their minds.Who's winning? follow the money.
If you are looking to blame someone, blame the Federal reserve. The are, by far, the worst thing to happen to the economy. Unless of course you agree with the stimulus money given to foreign banks.
During a 2½ year period starting at the end of 2007, the Federal Reserve provided more than $16 trillion in secret bailouts to banks and other companies around the world, according to a government audit of some of the U.S. central bank’s operations. Much of the Fed's largesse was lavished on banks in Europe (such as Barclays, left) and Asia, the audit revealed. More than $3 trillion, for example, went to financial institutions in just five European countries. Trillions more flowed toward some of the biggest banks in America. Institutions from Brazil and Mexico to South Korea and Canada also benefited.
The 266-page report, produced by Congress’s non-partisan investigative service known as the Government Accountability Office (GAO), has already sparked intense outrage since its release on July 21. Fed apologists, however, have been quick to defend the actions, saying they were “necessary” to “save” the economy and justified under the Federal Reserve Act.

And yet, no one can get a loan in this country. The banks are hanging on to the money they were given. That is a major part of the economic shutdown in this country.
Did you see her on the Hannity interview afterward? She and her people are really doing some digging. She is tying him to the stimulus waste. Texas took the 2nd highest in stimulus funds in the nation. Wonder where it all went? Bachmann thinks she can still get in this. Who knows? Maybe she is pitching for VP?
Bachmann or Cain (if he doesn't get the Presidential nod).
I agree about the media part...Fox is really pushing him down everyone's throats. What is that about? It's really strange when Fox and the left leaning media are pushing for the same thing to happen.
He is the Bildeberger's annointed one. They have control of the media.

the democrats and liberals like krugman (a fed apologist) don't want the federal reserve criticized. after all, it was mostly democrats who gave us the federal reserve in the first place:
The enactment of the Federal Reserve Act
After months of hearings, amendments, and debates the Federal Reserve Act passed Congress on a Sunday two days before Christmas when most of Congress was on vacation. Most every Democrat was in support of and most Republicans were against it. (wikipedia)
just like most sneaky congressional acts, just in case anybody forgot.
as long as ron paul is still out there telling the truth, i have hope for our country.
Without passing any 'winning' judgement (Charlie Sheen has corned that market) for any candidate...I am once again extremely disappointed in the low quality line of questions.
The biggest issue for me is that a 'youtube', 'fox news', 'google' sponsored debate...the type of debate you would hope would ask every single one of the 9 candidates fair questions was such a failure.
5 debates deep...5 debates with media controlled news coverage on who 'won'. Keep it up Romney and Perry, maybe one day you'll actually present an idea during these debates...
