CNN Jacksonville, FL Debate (1/26/12) 8p ET - Official Thread!

[NC5Paul]

Eh, a little rambling.

 

[SisCyn]

Ron Paul is the strongest Christian on that stage. He's the only one that most closely imitates Jesus.

Yes.

 

[jax]

great answer ronnie

 

[misterx]

Newt has it exactly backwards. If there is any war on religion(which there isn't) it's Christianity that is on the offense against secularism.

This atheist disagrees. It sickens me how antagonistic other atheists are towards Christianity.

 

[walt]

Mitt - Oh, fuck it, Ron is the best, I'm outta here...

 

[dancjm]

RON RON RON!!!

this.

 

[ronpaulfollower999]

Well...I'm stumped. Just don't know who I'll vote for Tuesday.

 

[RonPaulMyPresident]

Dr Ron Paul is the only intelligent educated person on that stage.

 

[PierzStyx]

most of the founding fathers were dietist. in the treay with tripoli it specifically says that america was "certainly not founded on christianity"

Because they were treating with a Muslim theocratic nation that classified them as Western Crusaders. That said the values of liberty and individualism that are enshrined in the founders philosophy came from Christianity. The US is not a "Christian nation" because it doesn't have a national religion. But the values and morals of early America were definitely Christian in origin.

Also the Founders were by majority Christian. Its revisionist history that seeks to turn them all into deists.

 

[iamse7en]

Ron killed it. Real answer. Here comes fake answer by Mitt.

 

[IterTemporis]

I think it was a good answer. He mentioned the polls v. Obama which is what I wanted to hear. A plus is how he mentioned that he brings people together.

 

[bunklocoempire]

Ron: Courage

Mitt: Fear

Gingrich: Fear

Santos: Fear

 

[brushfire]

Boy I long for those days of "Average Elections", Mitt... freak.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

Not bad, but it is the first time Paul was allowed to answer that question. Next time he gets it it will be more meaty.

not that i know of...no Founding Fathers were jews

I believe this is correct. However, one Haym Solomon played a big part in funding the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War.

 

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

Dr. Paul did much better on that question than he has in the past. He offered concrete evidence and was more specific about how he would draw votes from Obama.

 

[bluesc]

Romney's canned answer.

Ron did well. He should have mentioned the INDEPENDENTS and how the media says you need them to win an election.
