ABC Drake University Debate (12/10) Official Thread

[Johncjackson]

We are sensitive because this has been going on for years. Purposefully ignoring someone who is doing very well and truely cares about our country is very offensive. If this was a one time thing, it wouldn't be a big deal. But this has been going on for years. Absolutely STUPID!

I'm very upset about these ABC fools.

Well, there is also the fact that whenever someone writes something positive about Ron Paul, they also get attacked. Or when the piece is neutral and not fawning all over him. Some supporters complain about no coverage and then complain about any coverage that is not a fluff piece or endorsement. This guy says he was complaining because he wrote a nice piece ( I did not read it, but knowing how some people here nitpick every single syllable looking for a slight, I could imagine it was positive for the most part and still got attacked) and then was attacked. I've seen it here myself many times- including articles by people who even voted for Ron Paul and/or have been positive about him for 4 or more years and everything they write is scrutinized looking for anything to bash. Maybe not all of it is a conspiracy ( some of it is for sure). People might get tired of being attacked for actually providing coverage.

When Dr. Paul beats Gingrich in Iowa, Romney comes in 3rd. The talk will immediately become about the death of Mitt's campaign.

I doubt it. They don't want Romney to win, but he won't be dismissed so easily.

 

[Steppenwolf6]

I only expected with all my heart,in answer to that "serial hypocrisy" question, a bit more of a list of the progressive position Gingrich took and even campaigned for:
Anti second amendment..campaigning for the Department of eucation with Al Sharpton..tarp!

Other than that,just what i already knew :
He is THE BOSS.

Doctor Paul,my ony president.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Overall, the good doctor did very well tonight. Several kick butt answers.

I loved that Ron smiled tonight and was soooo relaxed. He really is in Command right now!!!

Definitely his best debate performance of the campaign.

I hope someone posts a YouTube Video of all of the Ron Paul Supporters outside of the debate that Mitt Romney mentioned!!!

GREAT JOB RP GRASSROOTS!!!!

Paul with 134 out of 180 votes

 

[constitutionstory]

I'm watching on DVR so am behind.

Ron Paul on the oath of office was the best answer I've ever heard in a debate. I seriously rewound it 3 times. I called my wife in to hear it. I said, out loud to myself 'holy crap ron paul just won the presidency' (please be true, but that was how powerful that answer was).

Wow.
Wow.
I still have the rest of the debate to watch, but that was epic.

Mirror feelings, I've watched it again on youtube now! This is seriously a turning point where his ideas came together with great rhetoric... the oath of marriage and the oath of office.

To tell you the truth, I was kind of disappointed that Gingrich wasn't splayed out more than he was. He was allowed to crawl out from under his record. No one hit him with his support for the Brady gun control and conservatives HATE that. He worked to establish the Dept. of Education and no one even mentioned it. Also, the UN's No Child Left Behind. Cap and Trade too. I mean, this guy's voting record is horrible. All of these things are red meat to conservatives and he should have been hung out to dry.

All in good time. There's still over 20 days until the caucus

He voted No on Brady Bill.

 

[JohnGalt23g]

Fox News just had people saying Paul has hit his ceiling at 10% and his effort in Iowa is actually very poor.

THOSE FUCKERS!

There's a reason they're stuck doing Saturday night graveyards on FNC, and Dr Paul is doing Meet The Press the day after the Iowa debate.

If you get the chance, ask whoever it was how the view is from the cheap seats.

 

[opinionatedfool]

Is there a poll for this debate? If so, everyone go there and vote!

 

[PatriotOne]

What happened at the end of the debate? I fell asleep and dreamed Perry and Romney praise Paul

 

[Steppenwolf6]

Yes,no child left behind,cap n'trade,anti second amendment legislation,campaigning for education departement with al sharpton..on and on. and on
Gingrich:
more progressive and flip flopper than Romney.

But the doctor is not good at the dirty attaccking work ,he is no Bachmann.

He needs a lot of help from us on that!

 

[cindy25]

Romney can lose Iowa and fight another day in NH; Newt has to win to survive

I think ABC just reset the poll. We were crushing with over 4000 votes, now it's back to < 700. abcnews.go.com.

lol wow haha I love it that the media is willing to go surreal to maintain the fantasy. That's when the cognitive dissonance gets really heavy and people wake up. Expect a lot of Alices to come through the looking glass in the next week.
