I agree his answer was just a bit vague....but it dosent really matter. Even if he says tomorrow that he will release them, we just have to wait till the day after and he will say he wont be releasing them....and that will continue on and on and on...flip flop flip flop
So , I missed it , IS Mitt going to release his Income Tax Statements ? He seemed a bit Vague on his Answer . Is it Possible he is trying to Hide something he dosen't want the Voters to know God Forbid ?

The Twitter crowd had a very strong response to Mitt's stuttering answer about his taxes.
Mitt is a question dodger and spent the majority of the night below the line. Not surprising.
This debate was upsetting for the most part. Especially when Ron Paul referenced the Golden Rule and got boo'd. I mean, REALLY?! People want war that badly?
Ron Paul finished the night getting positive points and stayed above the line on Twitter. No surprise there. He's still a strong 2nd in SC and I hope this debate sends Romney crashing.

Serious Americans listen up. everyday is a slap in your face as they laugh at your flaccidity and impotence. They laugh at you because they know you dont have the balls to stand up them. Why else would they sham up such an obvious farce as this debate. What is it going to take for you people to wake up and start a revolution?? Obama winning another term is going to be too late. You need to act now before its too late."
You must not be from the south.... OK, not everybody is a redneck, but after living in NC for the last 3 years and spending a good deal of time in SC too, I am not surprised at the pro war response. There are a lot of people that still want revenge for 9/11 and kill all the rag heads. My brother in law just finished sniper training to do just that. He is from TN by the way.... "god bless the snipers and the USA."

" As a Paul supporter, I think he did very good. But when he was asked about the Bin Laden raid, the audience was very torn during that part. I dont think it will hurt his current support (Obviously I still support Paul) , but Im not sure how well it will go over with other Republican voters in SC "
It dosen't really matter what Ron Paul or Anyone Else had to say about the Fantasy " Bin Laden Raid " because it NEVER HAPPENED . Bin Laden Died due to a Severe Kidney Ailment and a Fatal case of Marfan's Disease back in 2001 . He might have even been Dead BEFORE the 9/11 Attack on the WTC , but of course the Truth about that has been Expertly Hidden from most of the World through the Influence and Manipulation of the Global MSM for the last 10 Years . The " Raid " has become MYTH , with No Body to Autopsy , even the Staged Burial At Sea boarders on the Absurd . It is just used Today to Justify the Federal Goverments Alledged Terrorist Threat that is the Excuse to take away Americans Liberties . Don't take my word for it though , the Evidence in what I believe is Out there if you just Look for it........

I don't care for Fox, just as much as the next guy, but the lady in red did a great job. She did not let everyone put Paul on the back burner.
Crappy questions and putting words in Paul's mouth was the same old tactics but I would like to see her host the next debate.
I can be happy with fairness alone (for now).

No one wants war. That is silly but to say that those who want to kill us are not already here or not coming here, is just naive. Someone here said they hated America because we spend 6 times more on defense than any other country. We have at least 6 times as many groups who want to kill us. When I knew someone was trying to kill me, I removed them from the equation. That we have to do.
I like capitalism. I am not crazy about corporations who reward their CEO's with bonuses at the cost of the shareholders. Shareholders have earned their money and invested it in a corporation to increase its value. That increased value is spent back in the economy (at least that which is not taxed away.) That is called capitalism.
Ron Paul is an isolationist. That was fine when we had nothing but ships with sails on them. Now we have modes of transportation that places our enemies just hours away. Nuclear submarines can harm is within minutes. The danger is there and it is real.
What the young people today are trying to achieve was also tried in the 60's. I lived during that time. Those of us who did (hippies) are now more realistic about what is happening today. Socialism (Progressives) has not worked and has never worked. You can love everybody in the world but there are some (with the power) who would kill you no matter how much you loved them. They are there and they are real. That is why you have locks on your door and protect your credit cards. There is evil in the world and they will hurt you if they have a chance.
I don't know what the answer to corporations out of control is but it is not Ron Paul. If he a) was a better speaker b) had a better grasp on world politics (some of what he says is absolutely true) and c) had better Presidential appearance he might stand a chance against Obama. Obama is not as smart as people think he is but he is not a fool. This election will be won on National Presidential debates (not primary debates) and there is only one person who can stand on the same stage as Obama and make him look foolish. That is Gingrich. I am not saying I like everything he says but in the end, he could retire Obama. Those Tweeters who flood the internet after debates are loud but not prolific. Pauls supporters are organized and load the polls. However, they will not be able to control the balloting and a vote for Ron Paul will be a vote for Barack Obama. That is how I see it.

Newt will never win against Obama. No one has really attacked Newt. His personal life is worse than Herman Cain's was. He's in bed with big corp. Newt is SLIMY and if anyone would expose him, he'd go scurrying to hide under a rock like the Newt he is. As long as they don't, he will look like a white and fresh bun, Shoney's big boy all beefy on stage.

Maybe a little poll news to help you feel a bit better about the campaign.

I dont buy into the Bin Laden raid, and think something else problably happened to him in the past, but I highly doubt the majority of voters in SC have gone out to look this stuff up. Just look at the audience reaction when Paul spoke about Bin Laden. Alot of the audience believes the Bin Laden raid.

Fair enough of a answer, I do not agree with most of it but I respect your view.
2nd line

Oh MAN! I wish I was part of that audiance ...im sure they were paid really well!
They are showing the debate all over again on FOX, I didn't realize but when they introduced Ron Paul, he really got the boo's in the crowd. Right
off the bat, the audience was against him.
Looks like the twitter-verse thinks Romney did the worst tonight on the Dodge/Answer results.
ETA - Hahaha

Have you gone out and looked into it? If so, please supply the facts and details.

And the proof you have for that is????
Really? None?
Ron Paul should be getting like 90% of the vote in the SC primary then.
The Audience in this Debate was a Joke . Those People DO NOT REPRESENT the MAJORITY of the American People At All .........
And the proof you have for that is????
The Debate was TELEVISED , How Many People in T.V. Land do you Think Booed Ron Paul ? My Guess , NONE .
Really? None?

Just got done watching the DVR of this debate...
WTF is going on with the people out in SC ( not only SC, of course .. but most of these 'fox crowds' ) ?
Booing someone bc their father is from Mexico?
Booing Dr. Paul on the golden rule?
This is getting ridiculous.
