Watch The CNN Republican Debate Live Here

Video
» 202 comments

While it may feel like a lifetime, it has been all but about a month since the last time the four remaining (now that Buddy Roemer is running as an independent). Much has happened since then– Rick Santorum winning all three primary states on “mini-Tuesday,” shocking most with his win in Colorado; Newt Gingrich‘s almost complete disappearance from the scene, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul hanging about even.

The debate, hosted in Mesa, Arizona, where there will be a primary next week (on Super Tuesday), is sponsored by CNN and will be moderated by John King. The news cycle it is arriving to is replete with social issues, and Santorum in particular is expected to have to explain some of the comments he made regarding Christianity that have recently surfaced.

    Romney talks the talk, but doesn’t walk the walk.  If you want to “fix” social security the very FIRST thing is for congress to stop stealing the money working people pay into it!  In 1987 social security funds went DIRECTLY into the general fund where congress could get their greedy hands on it.

    You obviously DO NOT understand conservatism. It is, VERY limited government in ALL aspects of our daily lives.  Palin would begin to dismantle the structure of oppression that our socialist leader has continued to create.  

    With that said. Any of these candidates would be refreshing, and would begin to rebuild our place in the world.  The economy will begin to ROAR back the day after a conservative is elected.  Once the world knows that we are serious about ending OUT OF CONTROL socialist spending and regulation and over taxation of our corporations, our business owners will start hiring, investing, and producing wealth.

    RON PAUL is the ONLY Candidate that will RESTORE the Constitution and our Bill of Rights. He is the ONLY one that will destroy our communist central bank – the Federal Reserve. He is the only candidate that will end all of these ILLEGAL genocide campaigns we call wars! He is the ONLY candidate that will put the “Federal” government in its rightful place and return the authority of this nation to the states and to the people. But alas, the stupid sheeple of this doomed nation will vote in another statist, another wolf in sheep’s clothing, another war whore that will use terror against the people to justify the destruction of liberty and keep the war pigs wallowing in the mire.

    Ron Paul understands what most of the brainwashed children of the MSM (otherwise known as Americans) do not understand – we are heading into a dictatorial police state – a nazi governance, and with the blatant disregard for personal liberty and the systematic destruction of our Bill of Rights/Constitution that has been taking place for the past 45 years, he is exactly correct; a fence could very easily be used under martial law (Read the Patriot Act) to keep you and I from leaving. Problem is the vast majority of all of you have not listened to Kennedy’s warning on the Illuminati; you have not read the last 20 Unconstitutional executive orders that have been signed. You have not read the Patriot Act. For the Love of GOd you still have not figured out a third building was destroyed by our government on 9/11, that there was a bomb at the Fed building detonated before McVeigh showed up, and that Obama committed an act of Treason and destroyed the sovereignty of this Republic and usurped the Constitution by going to the UN for permission to commit genocide in Libya! Most of you people are freakin’ hopeless and useful idiots!!

You know RP is the right choice when everyone wants to silence him and call him cuckoo for wanting to eliminate the FED (a privately owned bank that has nothing to do with the government of this nation btw). What is so funny, is that the vast majority of sheeple Americans have no idea that the question on the appointment of the “chairman” of the “Federal Reserve” is one of the biggest freakin’ con jobs and jokes ever played on this nation! LMAO! The “FED” is a privately owned company – a BANK – and it not in the least bit a part of this government!! The “appointment” of a chairman is all flippin’ hollywood – a great big freakin hoax and you morons eat it up!!! They are an illusion!

    Cain is what you say, and at this exact time Cain has been chosen and elevated by media to take votes away from Paul’s potential demographic. So far the ruse seems to be working in media polls, but we’ll have to wait and see how it plays out when real voting happens.

    Bachmann made a great point about Cain’s new consumption tax — we don’t need any more taxes, another pipeline, as she phrased it. Santorum’s follow-up, while looking at the audience and asking; do you want another tax? was also great.

    It’s to bad Perry didn’t come back at Romney pointing out corporate health insurance and access to health-care are 2 different things. It’s true that a half-million or so people in Mass. didn’t have corp. health insurance, but of those, 95% were on the state’s free health-care pool. Romney’s plan was a big win for insurance companies who are now being paid(contracted) by the state to provide corp. health-care insurance to those were in the free health care pool before the new law.

    What the hell is with the 5 minutes of stock reports? This is the fourth one this debate, I figured commercials would be enough >.> Also Cain lied his ass off when Paul asked him about the fed.

    Legalizing Marijuana would eventually solve the immigration problem for both countries. Mexican leader Calderon has told us numerous times that the major reason behind the corruption in Mexico, and the reason why families have a hard time getting ahead, is because of the drug cartels, and he’s expressed his willingness to work out a plan of action which would benefit both countries. Quality of life would improve in Mexico, our borders wouldn’t look like a warzone (look up videos), our prisons would have room for real criminals, low income families wouldn’t have to worry about their children becoming drug dealers (majority of gang operations are controlled by kids 12-18), we would benefit from a 2billion dollar industry, solve the immigration problem, and allow Mexico to develop as a country and as an economy, from which our economy would ultimately prosper from, as we do a great amount of business with Mexico

    Santorum hopes we are responsible for killing Iranian nuclear scientists? And he is the family value candidate? I guess as long as your parent isn’t a scientist. The U.S. has nuclear scientists. Does he think our scientists are fair game for assassination? Get with it people … these politicans are committing atrocities around the world in the U.S. name. We might not be able to do anything about it, but do we have to cheer them on?

    RP is too straight-forward, too straight-arrow. His solutions are too sane and too workable. He has no scandals and therefore poor material for the usual over-sensationalism. He’s placed in 1st, 2nd and 3rd (that’s the “Top Tier,” btw) in MANY polls, yet, he is ignored as if he’s invisible. I am happy so many others are able to witness the MSM trying to shove mainstream candidates down our throats. He’s got my vote. Have you seen You Better Treat Ron Paul Right ?

    Obama reveled in the blood of Bin Laden the other day on TV. I understand he did the right thing by doing his job but you do not play with the bones of the dead and give a smart answer to a reporter. I compare his actions to the Iranian who played with the bones of our solders that were killed in the failed democratic attempt to rescue hostages in Iran.

    He did his job and that should be the end of the story. You criticize   the republican while letting him slide and you wonder why liberals are not trusted.

    The reason that the country is in the shape it is in because liberal are deficient in brain power and can not post without calling names. You are the poster boy for a liberal nothing to say just call name and attack. Did I hear a comment on Holder lying to congress. Did I hear you say that you do not have a problem that the department of justice arming drug cartels. Your silence shows that you are not a man of integrity. Is that your screen name without a brain. It would fit your posts.

    Romney is a pancake man.  He gets flipped when things get hot.  For gay marriage or against it; for building houses for Americans, or for building a private, personal, 11,000 sf estate on the southern California coast, for himself?  Put syrup on ‘em, and folks, will want to have more.

    “Not Washington.”  Why would we elect someone to go to Washington if they did not believe change happens in Washington, or that the people we elect will in fact influence the course of this nation.  ”Oh thank heavens, Washington is there for me.”  He bad mouths Washington, while shredding the faith of he American people who elected people to represent and stand with us in Washington.  If he hates Washington, he should stay out.

    All republicans except one are all really Democrats the proof is they
    all stand for democracy and no longer stand for a republic. Get it?
    democracy is from Democrats and a republic is from republicans!
    remember,”the republic for which we stand?” till we learn that democracy
    is just one step from an oligarchy we will never see the way to turn
    our country back to true freedom and away from the illusion of freedom
    created by democracy. the the corporate media hides this truth for their
    control of our current corporate government this is their great
    manufactured illusion placed on us.

    Just Listen and believe what the media feeds your ways of how to
    perceive this one great republican presidential candidate and we will
    never win this massive war against our true freedoms and prosperity.

    This is about the sickest bunch of comments I’ve seen on the internet.  We desperately need to talk about real things, not the wild imaginings of a bunch of extremists.  How about we get honest and admit we don’t have a candidate who is actually what we would want to vote for.  I absolutely HATE having to vote for the *lesser of two evils*.   This should NOT happen to us.  We definitely need a third party.

    Funny you use the word idolatry to act like your articulate yet you use incorrect syntax on the first half of your sentence. Fear is what’s being sold by Newt and Mitt to a nation that acts like it fears nothing, in all reality the people who tend to try and purpose either one of these two are a legitimate opponent to President Obama…is not only stupid but insane. Only Dr. Paul has the experience and the issues that shake up Obama, only Dr. Paul understands the regimes in Washington that control the White House, and only Dr. Paul is capable of meeting Barack at the intellectual level. Goddam all of you stupid people who act like you’re a model American and true person of faith when all of you know nothing of what it means to be human, this particular era of human existence has definitely not been humanity’s greatest reflection.

    I laugh so hard when I think how many people are dumb enough to fall for the same BS every 4 years and stand by these men WHO ARE CROOKS, well at least two are! Its so strange to see people, educated people and professional people who just buy into the deception by 1. A trust funded, tax-avading, Corporate puppet boy 2. The philandering, perverted, possible felon (for lying) corrupt ex-House speaker, 3. The Dark Horse with issues to deep for average Americans to ponder and 4. The butt (pun definitely intended) of all joke in this years Republican race. Do people really think Mitt Romney is an average persons’ representative? Get real, and Gingrich the dudes’ a lying sack of potatoes under oath of duty and marriage and was FIRED for corruption. He leaves his wives in a time of need and you expect him to stand by America should we fall? Please he’ll jump ship faster than an Italian cruise ship captain. I can strain all day about how stupid some real smart people can be, and how people from the working class can be so ignored because we change a tire, or serve a drink for a living.
