From Dawn of the Weak:

Once again it was the Rick Perry & Mitt Romney show. Hogging up nearly 14 minutes and nearly 11 minutes respectively, the nearest talking time was Congresswoman Michele Bachmann with 8:35. Largely due to so many attacks on him, CNN gave no shortage of time to Rick Perry for response, and in many cases CNN actually initiated the back 'n forth. The case will probably be made that this was for the sake of continuing story-lines currently in the news cycle, but it is quite odd that in continuing news cycles that when the Federal Reserve is brought up for discussion that Santorum, Cain, Bachmann, Perry and Romney were all questioned, leaving out the one person in politics who is actually responsible for bringing the Federal Reserve out of the closet of secrecy.

Oddly, the feedback loop continues since the talk time was given to the perceived frontrunners which will likely result in showing their highlights and discussing how they dominated the debate while everyone else was strangely absent. Perhaps it is time for a more forum-oriented national discussion, maybe half in actual forum with extended time-allotments and the other half in direct debates. I, for one, would love an entire debate where the candidates moderate. Can't be worse than this.

I bet the morons booing RP have no idea what he is talking about re: 9/11. They are clouded by the mass bombardment of 9/11 BS, mostly by the mainstream media. We were not attacked because of our "free" society, our American way of life, as Santorum moronically suggests. That is complete BS and a subterfuge. We were attacked because of our foreign policy. Specifically, our policy to protect Isreal at all costs and to the detriment of the Palestinian people who, like the Jews, have inhabited that land for THOUSANDS of years. We were attacked because, in choosing to protect and subsidize Isreal, we effectively and de facto oppose a large portion of the muslim world who inhabit that Middle East. RP calls this occupation, but it is more than that. It's occupation with a purpose. Protect Isreal and, oh, by the way, help solidify our oil issues as well.

Would Isreal survive without US support and presence? Probably not. Isreal is surrounded and is greatly outnumbered by those who don't like them a whole lot. But, that's not our fight. It's their fight. And they should fight their fight and pay for it themselves. Isreal is not a colony of the USA, although if you listen to the powers and media, you would think it is, or should be...

ABC says Bachmann won the debate...

[G Street]

Santorum is another GOP jihadist, a believer in the endless war exceptionalism that the nation had wearied of under Bush. How soon they forget, ready to re-enact the stupidy they recently regretted. And to further put the lie to patriotism, Bachmann openly proclaims we should do so in service to Israel. A vote for Ron Paul is a vote against continued militarism. Is it also a vote against corporate sponsorship of the presidency. It is a vote against letting the media make our choices for us. It is a vote against letting the Fed and others responsible for mayhem continue exploiting our economy. And it is a vote against the GOP rip van winkles who would forget their role in weakening this country.

Any other GOP candidate makes the election a choice between tweedle D and tweedle R.

[Paul]

look at the idiots booing!

their blindness and ignorance brings shame on them in the most obvious way. they are intellectually ignorant and incapable of critical thought.

A man stands before you giving you the unadulterated TRUTH and look at the response a total mental breakdown.

WOW!

The truth hurts.
