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

[phil4truth]

they are bashing newt and praising santorum trying to move votes to keep RP in 4th.

Yeah think you're spot on with that.

 

[IterTemporis]

Positive.. and more about RP after the break.. Wow.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

more Ron Paul after the break

 

[Gary4Liberty]

thank them for doing what they are supposed to do? F that. Hey, thanks for not abusing me today.

 

[justatrey]

"more Ron Paul after the break"

What the hell is going on?

 

[blazeKing]

He didn't say he wanted to do business with Fidel...arghhh

Secondly according to the new link on Drudge, Cubans agree with Paul that the embargo hurts the people not the regime.

Total /facepalm CNN

 

[kahless]

Well, they are right. A Grinch nomination would almost certainly keep Obama in office, very probably retain Democratic control of the Senate, and quite likely return the House to the Democrats. It would be an utter disaster for GOP partisans.

Meant losses in the Senate, but you got what I meant. Gingrich losing to Obama is a given but had not considered the backlash of losing seats in the House and Senate. A scary thought the Dems and Obama having that much power.

 

[rprprs]

gloria tries to get things "back on track"...lol

 

[dancjm]

Anderson brings up Paul, above the fray, good lines, distancing from drama. Most likeable, funny. stream broke in middle of conversation. able to laugh at himself. Claims Cuban voters will hate him for his Cuba position.

Then, time for a break...

 

[Dublin4Paul]

Hm, pretty positive about Ron when they brought him up. Said he was "the most likable" candidate on stage tonight.

 

[toast]

Wasn't in the room at the time, but I heard from the tv (post-debate CNN) that Ron Paul was able to "stay above the fray", that he definitely "came across as the most likable" he was "grandfatherly" and "funny" (in a good way). (I believe the exchange was between Anderson Cooper and someone else)

Yes stream broke for me too. Also other people were complaining that stream stops as soon as Ron starts to speak.

See I think that is wrong about Cuba. I lived there for two years and met a lot a wonderful Cubans. They want America to open up trade with Cuba because the people have suffered for years because of it. Not to mention, if we open up free trade (not a phony NAFTA or CAFTA) and keep an open and friendly relationship with these countries they might not conspire with other countries to do harm to us!

"He was Grandfatherly and should have had on sweater".

I think maybe they are really be over presumptuous that the Cubans have a problem with Ron opening up trade with Cuba. I hoping for a surprising bump from his Cuba trade policy.

 

[phil4truth]

Convenient that reality happens to coincide with your personal opinion, ain't it?

I'm a huge Paul supporter affa but I'm a realist. I believe that Paul is the only one who can beat Obama hands down and we may yet that outcome.

You are correct that the fact I pointed out us my opinion also and as a realist I believe we will see that opinion played out in the next poll.

Romney
Grinch
Santorum
Paul

LMAO -- clip of Paul on border security, and then go on talking ignoring that he exists LMAO

But, it was a good clip for GOP voters. I get a lot of resistance to Paul on border security, and that clip will help if anybody is actually still watching (doubtful, of course)

 

[Barrex]

Mora about Ron Paul after commercials.....We are back from commercials. Good bye....


LIARS.

I've said it many times: the media thinks Ron Paul is Palestinian and therefore doesn't exist

I agree. I think most Cuban Americans see opening up relations with Cuba as a chance for them to see long lost family, help loosen up the tyranny in Cuba, and maybe even bring relatives to the US. I'm thinking Cuban Americans will very much like Paul's policy. It's the pundits who are clueless here.

LOL, OK back to normal. They were just throwing us a bone I guess...
