i do want to add the part when they tried to get ron paul in another "gotcha" question and his response:

Question, Congressman, do you know a lot of Americans who want to take their money and flee the United States of America?

(LAUGHTER)

PAUL: There are -- there are some. All the candidates up here talk about repatriation of dollars. They've already taken them overseas.

We're talking about trying to bring in $1.5 trillion (dollars) because they leave our country, because we make it uncomfortable, too many regulations, too much taxation. They can't start business; they've lost confidence.

Yes, when countries destroy a currency, they do lead to capital controls and they lead to people control. So I think it is a real concern.

he understands the real issues facing america, and presents real steps towards fixing the problems. he is 100% focused on getting americans working again and restoring economic health to our country.

that benefits everyone.

The questioners all did a great job with the feed questions for the respective talking points. At least that way, it made it look like the candidates were answering actual questions.

We'll be used to that, after four years of Joe Biden!

The loudest applause last night, for a non-comical answer on an issue, was Ron Paul.

When its all said and done Mitt will have to battle it out with Ron Paul, Perry will be sliding and Ron Paul will move into the top teir. Come the last few debates when they have to actually ask Ron Paul questions Mitt will not be prepared. Ron Paul has the money, Cain has no money, Newt has no money, Michelle B has no money to make it to the end.
Lets just see what happens when tea party people have to choose Ron Paul or Mitt who wins over issues when they talk about economics. Ron Paul is in it to win it and the long haul soon enough the fireworks will begin.

They just want to put this country is a bigger hell hole that will take a min of 50yrs to get out so they can keep there pockets fat & big companies like GE pay no taxes with all the stupid loop hole. GE paied no taxes & got a 3.2bill rebate from the goverment this is wrong on so many levels you can thank republicans for this

Looks like Perry isn't the only drunk.

Still blaming Bush. Really? After all this time, and a worse economy?
The stimulus wasn't FOR the auto industry. That was another payback to unions altogether.
Because of congress? You mean the all Dem congress that only got booted 10 months ago?
GE pays no taxes, but you do know that they're special friends of Obama, don't you?
Yup, all republicans.

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

Because Obama is NEVER wrong. You give him a pass, I see. Still up to our racist ways.
