   I would like to ask Congressman Ron Paul, Looking at every political poll on every debate, you have been the clear front runner, at least in the polls where the people can vote and the results pop up as soon as we vote. How do you handle the insanity of the News Medias insistance that you place dead last or near the bottom almost every time? We know the truth Dr. Paul, we are with you!

   Ron Paul rocked the debate tonight...he's just steady as she goes...that's the kind of hand of integrity we need at the wheel. Between Herman and the others I've seen so much flip flopping and poor foresight that its insane...why are there so many candidates up there? It should be Ron Paul, Mitt, Perry. I like Cain's personality but that's all he is, I'm not going to vote for a sound byte...I want Ron Paul substance.

   Mindless bickering by adult children with one true statesman leading the way. Ron Paul is absolutely the only choice to face off against Obama in the general election.

   Herman Cain is a corporate shill and used to be the director of the Federal Reserve in Kansas. He can't be trusted. My vote is for Ron Paul. He's the real man of principle for the job.

   Ron Paul won hands down. No closing statement? Not very fair. Good debate otherwise though.

   Ron Paul is a true American statesman. Men of this caliber give me hope for my country. Liberty!

    Mitt – we have 23 million out of work cuz of the bush admin spending policy for the wars. It is not Obama but the failure of the fiscal conservatives to be responsible and conservative.

    If you eliminate all the immigants by putting a fence and not allowing then in, who is going to do all your farming? Maybe the elected officials kids will take on the farming and see if they would like it for minimum wage.

    Ron have you driven from del rio to marathon? ICE is the biggest employer and has a massive presence along the border including aerial assets and it has worked to reduce illegal immigration

    Question for Rick Perry and Mitt Romney (if possible).

    Why do you think you even stand a chance against Dr. Ron Paul?

    What do you plan to do to get gas prices back in the $2.00 a gallon range. Gas prices are really hurting my family.

    Dr Paul will bring wisdom & depth.... the rest will give us their best slick sales pitches. Please give Ron more than the usual 2 minutes. He has answers.

    Herman Cain, you state that your %9 percent national sales tax is fair and transparent. Therefore, is the used housing market, used car market exempt from this National Sales Tax?

    Question for all candidates:
    Would you support cutting off all social benefits such as medicaid, food stamps, and welfare to illegal aliens in order to save the country money and curb illegal immigration?

    I am from Eastern Kentucky where our communities rely on coal mining. Do you have a plan to downsize the EPA and their regulations so these coal companies can get permits again?

    Dr. Ron Paul is the only candidate actually representing the American people. Vote Ron Paul!

    For all candidates:

    We're at a financial crisis with every corner we turn but representatives are still granting taxpayer money to illegal immigrants for housing, food, in-station tuition, healthcare, etc. when they're not legal citizens. We the American taxpayer are paying for them to break out laws and get entitlements because our representatives are not enforcing our federal laws. Do you think its time for the American representative to finally stand up and be that 'responsible' representative for the American people? There are too many representatives that are not representating America and our Rule of Laws.

    For Ron Paul- You have voiced your discontent with the civil rights act of 64, you went as far as to speak against it. your speech focused on title 2 of the act which clearly outlaws discrimination. will you repeal this act as onerous legislation if you are elected president? you said you will repeal onerous legislation using executive orders.

    Question for debate:

    I would like each candidate to openly state for the record their stance on prohibition, the "war on drugs", and the mass murders committed in the name of that war in South America, which now total more than 50,000 dead.

    Mr. Cain, you were speaking at TEA Party rallies before they were cool and way before the historical losses for the Democrats in the 2010 Congressional elections. What have you brought away from them that you will incorporate into your campaign should you get the nomination?

    This is for any candidate that supports the wars in the Middle East. Given that we now know the price of these wars, whether it be the over 1 trillion in estimated costs, the nearly 6000 American military deaths, or the countless innocent civilians killed, how can you still support this seemingly never ending war?

    For Romney:

    Where do you stand in support of promoting the health and well being of the 99% and what steps would you take as president to close the lobby door that buys power for the elite?

26. Lori - PA
    

    Question for any candidate.

    If elected, will you focus on the issues that matter to the 99%? Or will you push for social issues which, for the foreseeable future, should be on the back burner?

      Where in the Constitution do you find that the duties of the President are primarily 'social issues'?

      Ron Paul cares about the 99%. If you look at his YouTube channel and watch the latest video, you'll see proof of this. (It's a 27 minute long press conference.)
