Republican candidates snicker while crowd cheers for Ron Paul in Fox News Debate

""Despite the fact that the New Hampshire audience broke out in spontaneous wild applause at almost everything the Congressman said, Fox News deliberately boosted the microphones of the other candidates when Paul was speaking, making sure the snickers of Giuliani, Romney and the rest were clearly audible.""

Ron Paul defends position to keep troops out of Arabian Peninsula.

Ron Paul describes woefully ineffiecent departments of the CIA and FBI, wages an attack the atrocities committed and civil liberties thwarted in the past few years.

Ron Paul defends the right for private enterprise to defend their assets and their customers, which should be a company's top priority. The US must decentralize

Ron Paul defends position of non-aggression with Iran. Diplomacy overrides war

Ron Paul vs. Mike Huckabee; Iraq is about saving face now. How many troops must die before "honor" is achieved?

Judge a tree by its fruits.

Wonderful, I feel that some of the other candidates are nothing more than actors.

Maybe im just weird.

""Ron Paul sucks.""

Thats a shame, why do you think that?

I think he is the only serious Republican candidate.

More than half the American public is against the war and all the Republican candidates are for the war except Ron Paul

Its ron paul or a democrat unless some very "bad" happens.

McCain use to be a solid contender.. Intill he bent over for Bush when he gave up on his thing against torture.. He has been bent over to the majority republican party ever sense.

Ron Paul goes far beyond anti-war. That dude is an isolationist. His ideas of foreign policy went obsolete nearly a century ago.Oleg_Huzwog

""Ron Paul goes far beyond anti-war. That dude is an isolationist. His ideas of foreign policy went obsolete nearly a century ago.""

That is not entirely true, he wants to trade with other nations and he wants diplomacy.

The reason why the middle eastern peoples hate us is because we have been causing a mess over there for decades.

For example look up Operation Ajax, I know alot you guys are in school and are sick of studying things but i personally think this is very important.

Ron Paul sucks.bt_the_great_78

I believe in this statement.

He's an isolationist in pure military affairs. We can still deal with other countries economically.MattUD1

He favors U.S. withdrawal from the United Nations, NATO, and the WTO.

Ron Paul is the only republican canditate I like...I really hope he wins.

shows you that other republican candidates are as smart as schoolchildren, laughing at their "brighter" peers pabs013

Yeah, he only got 2% in the polls....... but one can always hope :)....

NATO is the only one I disagree with him withdrawing from. Last I checked, we don't need to be in the UN or the WTO to trade with other countries.MattUD1

Doesn't it seem contradictary to be pro-free trade (as Mr. Paul seems to be) and anti-WTO?

So not going to war with every country that wants to develop weapons is a bad policy? He's said he doesn't want to meddle in other countrie's affairs and have trade be the focus on foreign policy. Lets fix the crap in our country before we go and screw with others.

Er... what? How did you make the leap from "this guy is an isolation critic" to "this guy favors invading every country that develops weapons"?

I was comparing to the current administration's policy of fight first ask questions later. Where did I say Ron Paul favors invading other countries? I'm saying staying out of affairs is far better than getting involved which is what Ron Paul wants to do.

Abolishing the fed is a wacky position??? They are the very reason we have such insane debt. They are the reason the income tax exists (illegally). Fixing the Fed's wrongdoing is one of the single most important things we can do for this country...

Actually, by "this guy", I was referring to myself but who cares? Moving on to the topic at hand...

As was mentioned earlier in this thread, Mr. Paul would like to see the U.S. withdraw itself from (among other things) the U.N., NATO, and the WTO. To me, that's a big warning flag of an isolationist.

The only thing I don't like about Ron is his isolationist foreign policy...Def_Jef88

Foreign policy is an awfully big thing to not like about a Presidential candidate.

"bad" like what? another republican gets in?

He seems to be the least evil Republican I've ever seen.LAZZOR

a vote for the lesser evil is still a vote for evil.

not because he's an "isolationist", but because of the encroachment of those organizations on national sovereignity.

ron paul is an exception, but otherwise there is little significant difference between republicrats and demicans. they're all autocrats, and socialism is already the american way.

Income taxes are illegal? The Sixteenth Amendment says otherwise:

"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on income, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

Im thinking about moving after college. I hear Irelan is nice...

Ron Paul is the best republican candidate, but that's not saying much. Most of them are pretty clueless, except McCain, but he needs stand by his views better.GettingTired

the mccain feingold act set up a federal bureacracy to decide who can say what about candidates during election season. it's amounts to a federal speech code that protects politicians. not a good thing.

A lot of the cackling I heard I noticed came mostly from Giulliani. The sad part is that no one went to him to tell him to hold his tongue until it was his turn, but noooo. It was so unprofessional and disrespectful of him, it's no wonder why he's been divorced 4 times already

I lost what faith I have had with McCain sense he bent over for Bush with numerous things such as torture.. He was a strong advocate towards going against torture.. Then out of nowhere he completely changed his mind.. In the end McCain in my eyes has become a finger puppet to the adminstration imo.
