. Noot is getting stomped on! He didn't like a question moderator proposed so he tried to hijack control and said to the others, "Let's all do such and such tonight" but moderator kept him in line.
Since then Noot has been getting puched down on lies several times!!
This is so great!! Ron Paul is doing great!

Sadly ones ability to run a country has little to do with how well they can perform in a talent show.. I'm sorry a "debate". But the run for president for the United States has devolved into a reality show - who looks the most presidential, who can zing the best one liners, and who doesn't look like a complete ass.
Trouble is that running in the competition can only magnify your f-ups. So it doesn't matter how good you would be at running a country, it's how good you can perform.. The United States will get the president it deserves, and that president will be a reality show game winner.

Gotta give Richie Rich credit for coming prepared last night. He brought a freshly polished set off silver spoons with which he force-fed Noot most of his own BS. The problem is that every Nya, nya, nya... each issues virtually sandblasts another layer of veneer off the other. Pretty soon there will only be their skeletons standing there — and no closet to duck back into!
How's that for a "magaphor"?
Paul was completely predictable and took no skin. Santorum actually stomped on a a few toes but just couldn't resist ending any cogent remarks with overtly stump speech speak.

Pretty damm good !
While I understand where Noot is coming from with the Lunar colony- we've too many things (transportation, renewable energy, delapodated infrastructure, archaic electric grid, crumbling education, etc.) to fix here first. WTF cares if you have a moon colony- how's that going to establish your dominance and over what... moon rocks ? AND more importantly how are you going to fund this folley when you want to cut taxes to the bone ??
I think this will haunt him badly. . . a few ghosts to go with the skeletons !

One of Romney's most prominent supporters, former GOP presidential nominee Bob Dole, released a statement through the Romney campaign that characterized Gingrich as erratic, unreliable and certain to lead the Republican Party to defeat in November. When Gingrich was in Congress, he "was a one-man-band who rarely took advice. It was his way or the highway," said Dole, a former U.S. senator from Kansas. As speaker, Gingrich "had a new idea every minute and most of them were off the wall. ... Democrats are spending millions of dollars running negative ads against Romney as they are hoping that Gingrich will be the nominee."

Interesting thought: if these were the only choices, . . .
I would not vote even if they threatened me with death!!
However, if they threatened the life of any of my children, I'd vote for Paul. And, probably thank gawd I am 75 with one foot in the grave. ;-)

"Ron Paul was telling Blitzer at one point that the subject at hand didn't really interest him (I believe when they were arguing about their investments); challenging everyone to a 25-mile bike ride to demonstrate his good health; and suggesting sending politicians to the moon, instead of building colonies there. But my favorite moment was when Paul was asked about a hypothetical phone conversation he might have with Raul Castro from the Oval Office. Paul's response? "I'd ask him what he called about, you know?" Awesome!" (from one of the CNN commentators) I agree with this: Ron Paul was just great!

I saw that Romey smack down on Noot - to funny. Will give Noot some credit to just nod, (Suggesting that Romey was right) and that was the end of that investment thingy. I mean Noot could have dumb down even further , with yet another rebuttal.
I am sure these candidates have (advisors) and people who do the research ? ? So I wonder how the advisor felt when his boss, Noot got the smack down or Maybe Noot was advised to not go there ? but Noot went anyway against advice.
Are you telling me this debate we are witnessing are a bunch of jokers who want to lead this great country of ours? This is an insult to the citizen to hear this crap coming from their mouths.We need a leader not a bunch of actors trying to portray being a leader.

My take is (after watching the video a few times), that Gingrich's purpose was to level the field since he was being criticized (repeatedly, at least on an add by the Ron Paul camp) for his connections to fanny mae and/or freddy mack that were hurting him in his competition against Romney. For this reason he made the decision to bring up/out Romney's investments in these same two firms, even though he new that Romney would bring out his [noot's] own investments with them too. At the end they stood even, they then smiled at each other, and will not prosecute each other on this point in the future (i assume).
Paul was laughing-in-silence all the way through the whole flip-flop=flap-flip. He went on to tour in Maine.
Santorum, I think, was the odd-man-out in the exchange or, didn't realize what was happening. Something else that he doesn't realize is that his Foreign Policy conception is that of a (with all respect) Boy Scout.
Obama has started to move. He's starting to get new criticism from the other candidates. His problem really, though, is Ron Paul because Paul is the only one that has a plan that is really different than his. And really…
…You can't beat The President In Office/[Standing President?] at his own game, on his own turf.
