Patriot Act, security prompt GOP sparring in CNN national security debate
Washington (CNN) - The Republican candidates for president outlined their visions for fighting terrorism and keeping the country safe during a CNN debate Tuesday held just down the street from the White House they hope to occupy.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the latest GOP frontrunner in this volatile primary season, sparred with libertarian-leaning Texas Rep. Ron Paul over the Patriot Act as the debate opened, with Gingrich calling for an even more robust version of the law.

I don`t know about you, but I`m TIRED of listening to them EVERY WEEK !!!!!! ---–
If there's one thing believe together we stand, divide we fall ! Get real GOP Ur divide and we are falling ! It's ashamed what republicans do for money n power !! Sad peoples. I'm my brothers keeper !!!!!!!@!!
President Obama would beat them on foreign policy. I would not want neither candidates protect me with there foreign policy. Thank God for president Obama keeping american safe.
Newt sound like a evil man on the debate.
The Patriot Act is unAmerican. Fear is the enemy. Lets nut up America. We don't need big brother. The founding fathers came to America to escape big brother.
I understand that some do not “like” profiling even feel that it goes against what the US stands for, but if a city has a group of tall, bald, white men committing a certain crime. They are not going to look for, short black women with long hair. You have to take a common sense approach to how you utilize the limited law enforcement capabilities that we have.
Once again,the best campaign add for mainstream Americans to support this president is the circus act of these "contenders" for the republicans. Newt and Romney are so stuck in past policies. Huntsman has a brain and lives in the present world,but not radical enough for the fringe voters that dominates these primarys! To bad !!!
Scarey that none could answer anything point on,very cloudy,shows they couldn't debate Pres.Obama on a subject they all say he is weak on, foriegn policy.They are lost in the facts on national security,that's scarey..Some also in the racial profiling and immigration talks...They also want to keep patriot act,keep us a police state as Bush wanted,keep us scared looking out for BIG BROTHER...
Obama has lived and delt with real life foreign policy that these blow-hards pretend to know all the answers for! What world do these war thrusting old men(Newt,Perry,Romney) live in! We would be in wars for another decade with anyone of these chicken-hawks as president!! Let's hope sanity dominates our general elections......
