South Carolina Fox News GOP debate **live commentary thread**

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

"I've always opposed gay marriage." - Mitt Romney

Supporting gay rights does not equal supporting gay marriage. Just ask Ron Paul.

That's pretty much what the whole gay rights movement is about.

Certainly an improvement over the gay rights movement of the '70s, which was basically about promiscious sex with strangers in bathhouses.

It was also about being able to be sitting in a bar without the police coming in and beating you up...

The hell.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I wanna punch Gerald Seib in the face.

[redcommander]

I hope somebody brings up Romney's support for the bailouts here.

I have a feeling it's going to be a long night for Mitt.

Well he somewhat rebounded with that answer on the economy, so it won't be a total disaster of a night.

[Cincinnatus]

Gov. Romney and Rep. Paul are the only serious candidates. Paul has some out-there ideas, but he's an intelligent man who nobody doubts supports free enterprise. I am not sure I can say that about Gingrich, Santorum and Perry.

This entire field of candidates is laughable.

I'd give Perry some more credit, but otherwise your right.

Perry seems like a nice guy, but I am not sure he's intelligent. I suspect he is of average or slightly above average intelligence. Also, his comments about "vulture capitalism" are completely out of line.

[Mehmentum]

GREAT answer by Paul.

[RI]

Paul dropped the military-industrial complex. Here we go.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Pauls creeping up on Santorum for best debate performance so far in the race. Close, but no cigar

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Eisenhower namecheck! Hooray!

[Keystone Phil]

Anyone hear a troll screaming right now?

I was born 20 years too late.

[redcommander]

The panel is getting owned by Paul.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Oooooh Paul avoiding the question on the military.... wait... attention Paultards..."we'd have more bases here".

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

That was an idiotic answer by Paul regardless of what his cult thinks.

And spreading lots of nasty diseases that other people can pay for with regards to treatment.

[Likely Voter]

Silly Ron Paul

Republicans have always been hypocrites when it comes to spending. They can spend like Democrats, just on different things

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Paul: 0% INCOME TAX!

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Delusions everywhere up in this debate.  

[RI]

Now he's going on about inflation and the Fed. God I hate him.

[redcommander]

A 0% income tax?

Yeah, I'm sure they were all doing it deliberately.

[Politico]

Paul is clearly pro-defense, but anti-interventionism.
