August 11th Fox News Iowa presidential debate **live commentary thread**

[Dancing with Myself]

Leave it to Paul to bring up Nuclear War, smh

But he is right--if we attack Iran then we should attack the Russians, and Israelis. Good for the man in the crowd heckling Santorum.

We have no reason to though. They are not our enemies anymore, Iran still is

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Paul needs to be carefull. He is challenging a phsycobit*h on her perieod. Wallace is thriving off tension

[Pyro]

Santorum wants us to invade the world.

[Lief 🗽]

SANTORUM ATTACKS IRAN FOR TRAMPLING THE RIGHTS OF GAYS

wtf is going on here

[Thomas D]

Did Rick just defened the Gays of Iran

[tmthforu94]

Rick Santorum, you will never be President. Sorry dude.

[California8429]

I understand Paul doesn't want us to waste billions in other countries affairs, but does he have no conscious about political prisoners, about citizens being tortured by their governments with no way out?

Why should we care when are own citizens are dying of hunger here!

I understand we have problems, but that doesn't mean we should never care about human beings being killed for wanting to be free or oppose a tyranical government around the world. We shouldn't have a blind eye to the world. If we don't have compassion anymore than our nation is truly in trouble.

I laughed. So hard.

[Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon]

Go get him Rick!!!

Only GOP candidate to positively mention gay rights:  Rick Santorum.

[Dancing with Myself]

Paul vs. Santorum is some good stuff

[bloombergforpresident]

Ron's real pissed off now

[Thomas D]

I wonder If Obama is watching this.

[Pyro]

lol, Paul getting cheered then boo'ed.
This audience is very mixed. I wonder if they're all even Republicans.

[Cincinnatus]

Did Rick just defened the Gays of Iran

I just re-winded to make sure I heard right.  If I didn't already find Santorum to be a complete joke, I might have been more surprised.

[You kip if you want to...]

Michelle Bachmann: "I'm on the House Intelligence Committee."

I don't need to say anything else.

[cavalcade]

Yikes, Ron Paul was pretty good there.

........

I'm glad he doesn't want them dead, at least.

[Lief 🗽]

This debate is so much better than last debate. Everyone is just yelling at everyone constantly.

Meanwhile Romney hasn't said anything.

Michelle Bachmann: "I'm on the House Intelligence Committee."

I don't need to say anything else.

Good one.

[California8429]

Ron Paul has lost all credibility in my eyes. To simply not care about people who are not already citizens in our country at all no matter what is just terrible morally. The least we could do is follow Reagan co-op wars, pushing for their own people to take control of their countries, not setting a foot in it, but letting them know that someone in this world is with them in a quest for freedom.

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Ron Paul is the official winner of this debate.

Iran is a threat to Israel, not us. Not our problem.

Ron Paul is the official winner of this debate.

[Thomas D]

Which of you hates gays and Muslims the most?

[Tender Branson]

"When Rick Santorum is President, the world as it currently is will be no more."

Well, thank God this won't happen anyway ...
