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.

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.

Bachmann or Cain (if he doesn't get the Presidential nod).

I would prefer Cain of the two for VP, but I could live with Bachmann. She tends to be gaffe prone though and that needs to be put in check pronto.

He is the Bildeberger's annointed one. They have control of the media.

Default President Obama won tonight

Laughable these wannabes from the Right. Ranting and raving about how to fail, true to GOP form.

Fact-checking proves that both Perry and Romney are just full of it.

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.

for anyone who didn't get a chance to see the actual debate the transcript is here:

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...
