Republican Debate October 11, 2011: Where to Watch Live

I thought that this was supposed to be a piece of journalism. I am a real journalist and know better than to write something that is so full of cynicism. Journalism reports FACTS from all sides, not opinions. This type of writing only proves that the writer is not a real journalism and only alienates those that want to decide on their own by FACTS.  

How ignorant.

I live in Texas and detest Rick Perry. he has no right to judge anyone.I would like to knowwhen he started going to church because I have never heard him speak of prayer before.I believe in God.

Rick Perry is a veteranHe is the only one on the platform to ever wear the uniform and volunteer for serviceHe has done for disabled veterans in Texas ( No property tax, no vehicle lisc fee, no hunting, fishing fee, huge discount from utility bills for burned veterans) and the list goes on.He will be elected by the veterans of these United States because we know he is a man that salutes our flag, ( IE remember how many photos of Obama with his hands doing what wer call the "crouch salute?") and he is a proven leader.All facts. see www.wesupportthevets.com  for more 

 I feel there is just a bit of irony that Government overspending is being blamed by professional politicians.  They make the "Government" appear to be an entity independent of the politicians making decisions within it.  I keep hearing that the people who will offer the most useful economic advice are those who have "succeeded" in the private sector.  There are few of us old enough to remember using a hand pump at a water well but it offeres a wonderful metaphor for this misconception.  When a hard working person got thirsty they would go to the well.  The first thing they would found is a can of water.  This water was pored into the well to prime the pump.  Once this was done water would be lifted to satisfy the thirst of anyone willing to work the pump.  In contrast to this would be the thirsty person who might go to the well and upon seeing the can of water would decide that he didn't need to work.  His thirst would be satisfied by drinking the water in the can.  The lesson is that knowing how to take from a system doesn't mean that they know ANYTHING about how the system works.

They are totally disregarding RON PAUL!!!  THIS IS A SET UP!!!!  They are scared of Ron Paul!!!  

Herman Cain has my vote. He has a stellar business reputation, is a brilliant mathematician, is a down to earth man who has not lost touch with what it means to be an American and understands what Americans want and need today.

Wow, you sure do make a lot of assumptions and give a lot of opinions in this intro page to the debate. We really didn't need all the extra blather, we can make our minds up for ourselves while watching the debate, thank you.

Cain/Paul is something I can vote for.

THE US Constitution does not condone Religious Bigotry nor does it require a " Religious Test" to become President or any other position.It's time to stop the racist bigotry of Religions and get to the core points instead of using Mormonism as a crutch to try to bring anyone down.  ANYONE who believes in Jesus Christ is Christian the mainstream churches even teach that so it's time for them to stop saying one thing and doing another.

hello, my name is sara johnson and i am senior at martins mill high school. for my government class we are suppose to write an essay over the debate, i was wondering... what should write over, what are some strong points and weak points of the main republicans. i just dont know what to write and would very much appricate some help. thank you. Sara Johnson

@Addison Gast. Perry is not the only one on the platform to wear the "uniform."  Ron Paul served this country as well.  He also has more support from our active military than any candidate running by a LARGE margin (including Obama).  For those who question Dr. Paul's foreign policy, ask yourself why the majority of men and women who have their boots on the ground support him?

@ Sarah, To sum up.  Ron Paul looks like an alien skeleton.  Hermain Cain is a pizza delivery man.  Rick Santorum likes to make his own sauce in airport bathrooms (if you ya know what I mean ;)) Rick Perry kills people.  Mitt Romney believes dinosaurs roamed Missouri about 7000 years ago.
