Anyone watch the ABC republican debate last night?
It looked like a bunch of children taking potshots at each other. These guys seem more concerned about winning than addressing most issues with an honest answer. One thing I noticed, the only candidate on stage who was polite and didn’t cut anyone off or laugh and snicker while other people spoke was Ron Paul. Whether you disagree with him or not, he seemed to be the only adult in the room who gave straightforward answers that seemed to fly over the heads of the other candidates. I don’t agree with everything Ron Paul says, but his answers are honest and make sense, which seems to be asking too much from the other candidates running.
I especially liked Charlie Gibson doing the "rundown" on each candidate, one by one, and how they had changed their minds on certain issues. When he came to Ron Paul, he hesitated, and said something to the effect that he (Paul) is always constant.
That, alone, speaks volumes.
It was painful to watch (but you’re right about RP)

Fred Thompson was polite as well. Ron Paul was ignored by everyone.

Yes, it seemed like the other candidates were more concerned about taking cheap shots at Ron Paul then actually answering any questions he posed to them. If they really believe he has no chance in hell of winning the nomination, why be so worried about what he has to say?
I read an article where it said only two candidates showed up, Ron Paul and Fredmitt McGiulihuck. On one side you have Ron Paul, who is an advocate for freedom, peace, balanced budget, and a humble foreign policy ( you know that crazy stuff thats in the constitution ) and on the other side you have Fredmitt McGiulihuck, which is for the exact opposite, attacking other nations with force, bankrupting america, warrant-less wire taping (you know, that normal and accepted stuff thats no where to be found in the constitution) read the article below.
