149. No winners; only losers.

Fri Jan 27, 2012, 01:39 AM

Jan 2012

Paul didn't substantially lose.

Newt and the others lost big 'charisma' points with their arguments on taxes, sounding angry, and the whole Fannie and Freddie argument and hypocrisy.

It's the hypocrisy, stupid! You can't insult someone on a debate stage for investing in a company when you yourself are investing in the same company (OR working for same company).
