16. Ron Paul got the most applause by far.

He got in a shitfight with another guy over pulling out of Iraq. He pointed out that we can't stay there forever, thousands have died, it's an illegal war, etc. He also pointed out that only Congress can declare war, we've lost our civil rights like habeas corpus, and now we have wiretapping, FISA courts, torture etc.

He did NOT want to nuke Iran in a hypothetical situation question. He wanted to deal with them diplomatically and said they were complying with the Int'l Nuclear body that inspects that stuff.

He can't win, he's saying sensible stuff about the Constitution and not starting illegal wars.
