Watching these debates is like staring down the barrel of a revolver and trying to decide which bullet will kill you the least.

Ron Paul was asked if he had anything electable about him, and the host said Paul wasn't in line with the GOP party at all.

Paul said it was premature to say that after two primaries there was a frontrunner. Said he was more GOP than anyone else.

Went off about the reasons why he's more Republican (social conservative, small government, etc.) than any current Republican in office and on stage and how the current Republicans are basically money-borrowing fools.

Exactly. After his 2:00 answer, they cut straight to commercial. The audience did applaud several times during his answer.

they also cut it out of the rebroadcast entirely. A bit irresponsible to the American public....

I think it's more about the fact that he made them look like total idiots and propagandists.

After watching something like that I don't think people should wonder why he's attracted so many people from disparate groups who probably don't support a lot of his positions outright.

I'm not seeing it. If anything, the flippant, almost mocking way the moderator asked the question was the only interesting thing in the clip. The dismissive way the question was asked (to the point that it prompted laughter) was very unbecoming, and it was unfair to Paul.

But I didn't think Paul's answer was anything special. To me he sounded almost whiny. Sure, he sounded impassioned in saying that he thinks that he should be "electable." But when you boil it down, he wasn't making the other guys on stage out to be idiots. He was castigating the people who are voting for them. And sure, he's justified to do so....but you're not going to win the votes of people voting for RINOs like Rudy or Romney by essentially saying "What the hell is wrong with you people?"

It was cut out because he made every other candidate on the podium look stupid, he made the media look stupid, and yet they left in all of the attacks on him by the other candidates.

I'm telling you, no single candidate scares the neo-cons more than Ron Paul, and I'm including Clinton and Obama here.

Cameron was the moderator? Sorry for whoever sat through that.

I like Paul cause he strikes me as honest and true to his beliefs and what his party says it stands for. Its just that those stances are different from what I think.

Oh and hes a racist.

That'd make a good campaign commercial. "What FOX doesnt want you to see" type of thing.

Tis is very true. If Paul won the primary, you would see everyone else on that stage support Hillary or Obama.

Aren't you a supporter of large government with sweeping powers?
