Seekster from Arlington, Texas

(CNN) - Seekster from Arlington, Texas asks: Rep. Paul: I've met a lot of your supporters online, but I've noticed that a good number of them seem to buy into this conspiracy theory regarding the Council of Foreign Relations and some plan to make a North American Union by merging the United States with Canada and Mexico. These supporters of yours seem to think that you also believe in this theory. So, my question to you is: do you really believe in all this? Or, are people just putting words in your mouth?

What did you think about the candidates' response to the question? What would you have asked? Add your comment below, or better yet, turn on your camera to record your commentary and reaction video and send in your I-Report. Your comments below or you I-Report video could be part of CNN's post-debate coverage.

The CNN Debate was a complete disgrace.

The two questions they directed to Ron Paul were intended to discredit him and make him look like a nut.

They failed, They only served to anger all of the supporters of Paul, and they just encouraged me to donate even more money on Dec 16th.

The MSM is scared of the Ron Paul Revolution, and this travesty in journalism is disgusting.

I have to really criticize CNN for only offering this question directly to Ron Paul during the debate.
What an outrageously unfair debate. This question gives me the strong impression that CNN is deliberately trying to hurt the Ron Paul campaign.

I am from Canada and I cam most assuredly tell you that no way in hell would Canada ever join "America" even if we were threatened with your BIG nukes. We are simply a different kind of people – “Un-American”!

Seekster have you ever heard of the Trans Texas Corridor??? It runs straight from Mexico into Oklahoma if Im not mistaken. Not everything you hear in conspiracy. People over use that word actually. No the North American Union is no conspiracy theory. Even the msm has given it some attention.

A directed question such as this one is evidence to the smear campaign against Dr. Paul. Just take a look at the lack of coverage there is on him on this very site! Media, and especially those leeching off of the American peoples' money and general ignorance, are frightened by the fundamental values of Dr. Paul's movement. I pity them for their subservience to a system that is sucking the soul of America right out from under America's nose, yet feel my heart swell with joy at the realization of the power the youth has shown in support of Dr. Paul and his message, and what that means for America's future.

This is no dark conspiracy, this is neo-conservatism. Most of the people in this country voted for it when they voted for George Bush. They don't like borders because they interfere with the movement of capital, goods, and labor from one place in the global market to another. Mexican trucks can take goods from Mexico to anywhere in the US now, thanks to the Bush Administration. Those who believe in the global market concept would refashion the world so that borders are merely jurisdictional markers. The federal government could continue to pave interstate highways and hire air traffic controllers, but government would become pretty much irrelevant.

Borders reduce corporate profits.

@wolfblitzercnn: Redskins-Giants always exciting. Both teams have a lot to prove. And Giants can still salvage playoffs. Skins just need a win.
