The sparks were flying during the Wednesday presidential debate between Rep. Ron Paul and Rick Perry, as the two battle head to head over who is best suited to lead the country.
Even when the cameras weren't rolling the atmosphere was tense, as Paul has aggressively pursued Perry concerning his credentials as a real conservative.
Paul has pointed out Perry's written support of Hillary Clinton and her attempt to impose Hillarycare on the United States when her husband was president. Paul responded to the apparent hypocrisy of Perry in his criticism of Romney's health care law he signed in Massachusetts.
Also during the commercial breaks of the debate, ads also pointing out Perry's support for Al Gore when he ran for president in the 1980s were run by Paul's campaign.
The point is, just because Perry showed up at some prayer gathering doesn't mean it's not all opportunism and show. can the leopard change his spots. Maybe. But this has happened over much of Perry's political career, and must be carefully evaluated.
As for Ron Paul, he has been consistent throughout his political career, and we know exactly where he stands on the issues that are important to us all.
Ron Paul handily won a poll after the debate. Here are the results of 147,750 votes cast:
Ron Paul 51.5% (76,019 votes)
Mitt Romney 16.7% (24,726 votes)
