CNN South Carolina Debate (1/19/12) -- Official Thread!

[Lavitz]

Answer on SOPA was good, but I think it sound very good for Ron to invoke Senator Rand's name in an answer (his promise to filibuster). Just a passing comment mentioning Rand, "my senator son" would sound very cool

I agree. Could've mentioned that he's fairly certain the bill won't pass because his own son plans on filibustering it. Would've drawn insane applause.

Ron Paul should say in response to the what would you change question...

"I wish I could better explain my foreign policy views. You see, sometimes the way I explain it becomes misconstrued, and I'd like the opportunity to clarify my foreign policy to those of you in this audience and the millions watching around the world...."

Santorum just made at what comes up when you google his name

pwnd

 

[Evilfox]

Well if I googled my last name and what comes up for santorum comes up I would want to censor the internet too.

It never was, imo. But this forum has had an influx of immature children in recent times, so it is what it is.

it is also against forum TOS

Preventive war was an invention of Hitler. Frankly, I would not even listen to anyone seriously that came and talked about such a thing. -Eisenhower

 

[WIwarrior]

I know! I was like WTF

Mitt's learned: if i want to get cheers while i'm talking, I should just shout out to Ron Paul

 

[Lucille]

EXCELLENT FINISH on FREEDOM and COALITIONS.

So great.

"I am the BOSS, that is all."

- Ron Paul

LOL...

different crowd tonight, and ron is on his A game. he will hold his own with foreign policy

The crowd seems to be on their best behavior, no doubt trying to make up for the despicable display the other night.

Weird. Santorum doesn't like the idea of "anything goes" on the Internet. I'll google his name and figure out why

LOL....

 

[tfurrh]

Newt would skip that shopping spree at Tiffanys

 

[RonPaulCult]

The lower third graphic said questions on Iran are upcoming. Watch out!

 

[FancyJules]

LOL....gingrich thinks he has the support of the internet TROLOLOLOL

 

[rprprs]

This CNN tactic of asking the candidate to respond to one of the other's recent derogatory statements about them ensures extended back and forth rebuttals all night long and the freeze out of Ron Paul.

This, ABSOLUTELY. It's not so much the candidates themselves. The questioning is programmed to facilitate this.

 

[madengr]

Newt want's to be a big solutions guy. There you have it.

Mitt's learned: if i want to get cheers while i'm talking, I should just shout out to Ron Paul

works for me.

The internet belongs to Ron Paul, Newt.

War is just a racket... I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else.

Newt: "My consultants stopped my huge brain from running my campaign. Yes, that is what I would do over, let my ego run my campaign."

 

[EBounding]

The pandering...the PANDERING

Ron Paul is much better tonight!! Calm cool and collected. Looks very rested.
