CNN Arizona Debate (2/22) 8:00ET- Official Thread

I hope he uses the Eisenhower bit next time, and explains the MIC monopoly...open the doors, show how the banking system and corporations profit and the trillions involved over the years...
 
You know what Dr. Paul said about the draft coming back actually scared me a little. Ron is good on these type of predictions and as much as it is opposed now the tables could be turned quickly if we get involved in a major war.

I think the cough if to change the audience's focus from what Ron just said. My guess is that a random sound like a cough will make the person think of something else.

some sound tech should compare all CNN debate coughs during RP speaking to see if it's exactly the same; a sound effect.

You make some valid points, but it's probably for the best to loosen up a bit. This is all a part of "having fun as well" that Ron always talks about.

I'm a fun-loving guy, but some of the stuff in this thread goes beyond goofing on the other candidates. My son and I do that kind of stuff all the time. But the kind of over the top comments telling people they should kill themselves, making fun of children, going along with disgusting nicknames for someone, I don't feel that Ron would agree with that sort of stuff. I think if the Golden Rule was applied to these discussions as Ron said it should for foreign policy, this stuff would be toned way down. And as I pointed out, it's not politically smart either. There's many people reading this stuff that are not part of the little club. And they can get turned off to the superior message by the inferior behavior. Those are the points I'm trying to make, not limit anyone's speech or tell anyone they can't have fun. Just saying there's a line and I think it has been crossed many times here.

No kidding, and boys and girls! It was very sobering and, if I recall correctly, the audience got quiet during that bit. I REALLY hope that sunk in. Maybe in their sleep tonight.

I agree with this. It is also against TOS.
 
Ron Paul was AMAZING!!! Ron Paul did the best and was on point with everything. Ron told us how it is and what will happen if this or that does not change. Ron pointed out the government problems and said what they need to do. Ron explained his foreign Policy about as good as you could in a debate about 3 different ways. First by the constitution. Then just why we should not be there and giving good reason on what we should do. Then Finally on just the economy issue of the whole problem.

I pray to god that this debate is the one that really shows people that he is the only guy who will save America. Ron Paul said it like it was and explained all the problems with the government (according to the questions asked). People need to wake up and say we have a winner. Ron Paul even said that the misconception is that he can not beat Obama and he can. Also said the media does not help. Ron Paul was on FIRE!!!!! If this last debate does not turn people over to voting for him then American has no hope and sad to say deserves to fall to nothing.

I echo your prayer. It really seems to me that bringing our troops home will make such a positive change not only in America but in the world. If people have to die, let it be defending liberty, not trying to solve ancient conflicts in other nations. I really hope that Ron Paul gets a big boost from this debate and that more people will be open to the message and the man.
 
I'm just watching the debate now. I almost fell over laughing when Ron responded to Rick's "I'm real" with "Congratulations." That was the best sarcasm yet in the debates. Ron is awesome!

it is unfortunately not as unpopular as you think. the progressives would love it if there was a civilian community service option. the conservatives because they could have more wars at lower cost.
