oh yeah...
and
***GO RON PAUL!!!***

I can already state that they said the word "God" way too many times for a political debate.
Dang fundamentalists.

I'm juicing up with a six-pack of PBR. I need the liquor-buffer between me and Bachmann or I might wind up breaking my television. Looking forward to Ron Paul putting everyone in their place.

Congress- let's just call it what it really is...
a circus ring full of narcissistic 5 year old bullies having a drunken pissing contest.

I literally just woke up from a nap and saw posts about the debate. I missed the beginning by 10 minutes! Lets hope this one goes better than the last to.

Sorry for asking this (since I just woke up), but who all is in this debate?
ETA - did I miss anything interesting in the first 10 minutes?


ETA - Pawlenty is really lashing out at Bachmann....wow

whatever i been watching this since it began

and god? unless you mean government or obama then your full of it.

I want to eat

my own face

with a smile

Mitt Romney doesn't understand the economy at all.

He should stop pretending like he does.

I missed the first ten minutes, been watching the last 12 or so. Is Ron Paul even part of this debate? I bet he doesn't get his due time. While I am not a Paul fanatic, I am really interested in hearing what he has to say, I have followed him for awhile and I think 85% of his views are spot on right, and 15% lunacy. I can live with that He needs his due time and attention. Damn media.

No darlin- first 10 minutes was just the introductions

Theyre getting heated already!
Bachmann is gangster lol

I wonder if they're gonna ask him about how his Twitter drama lmao (Gingrich)

Seems to be some harsh words being thrown around this time.

Pawlenty calling Bachmann spinless

Newt calling out the host , "Mickey-Mouse games", host firing back...

Does anyone else think Gingrich is laughable?

palenty is a loser

that mow your lawn comment

meh the dude needs to give it up already

I love Dr. Paul
And I agree, he definitely needs more coverage-
I wonder if there are an equal number of questions for each candidate??
I would assume so...anyone know?!

YEP.
that was a witty response though.
(the "gotcha questions")

Has Ron Paul been on at all?

I'm not in love with the guy but that was pretty good.

The host seems like a pretty big dbag

2x I believe -

asked about the debt problem and maybe something else..

What a joke. They've asked like 5 questions to Romney, and he just sounds like an arrogant idiot bashing Obama when he doesn't know what to say. In that time, they've asked 1 question to Ron Paul. ONE!
