This was a fascinating sequence of events.

Ron Paul had just gotten an applause line for his response to Gingrich about military service.

Stephonopolus then pivoted DIRECTLY to those newsletters (had to temper the positive taking place with some negative). The move was so transparent it was sad........

What happened next caught EVERYBODY off guard. Ron Paul denied writing them again, then pivoted to some REAL racism: U.S. drug laws. He ticked off statistics and generally nailed the nature of the current judicial system in little under 30 seconds.

The crowd was stunned silent. No other candidate responded. The panel was obviously flustered. And then they went to commercial break (never to bring that topic up again).

That is the usual response by anyone that actually listens to Ron Paul.

You realize, don't you, that the audience is also just reading from a Teleprompter that tells them how to react and when.

Obviously, the audience Teleprompter malfunctioned, so nobody knew what they were supposed to do.

Every time Ron Paul should have been allotted a rebuttal from another candidate, they went to commercial break

Because Ron Paul isn't on big pharms payroll, i like Ron Paul and will be voting for him, but i hope he slows down a bit. Hes looking at disappearing off the face of the earth if he keeps up his rants.

Borders are open for drug money being made on both sides of the border. White people blame illegals. Thye do not control the border. Illegals are just doing what they have to do.

its awesome lol... seriously if people still dont understand what the drug laws do they are severely mis-informed. I love Ron Paul rants because when he rants it is filled with facts. When Ron Paul talks it is consistently about facts and history... when the other candidates talk they bs half of their time and make one point. Its so obvious but apparently the american people still like fake politicians.
