Frankly that entire debate was a joke as was the Democrat one before it. It was unbalanced: both time allotted and questions asked. I think everyone should contact WMUR and inform them that not only was it disgraceful of WMUR, but of New Hampshire as a whole who pride themselves for fair political discussion.

This wasn't a debate at all, they were nothing more than talking websites. I want to see candidates speak on the issues against one another and I didn't get that feeling.

I actually prefer Fox News where the moderator forces conflict.
 
The ones with the most money gets more airtime. Someone else said PBS should have debates and I agree. Even with Ron's limitations did you notice that everytime he said something there was applause?
 
Ron did terrific. I feel kinda bad for Tommy Thompson, Gilmore, and Tancredo too, even though i dont agree with them or support them. I actually liked Huckabee in the debate fairly well, and have nothing against him as a person or a candidate, but he just isnt the answer that Ron Paul, obviously not even close.
 
I don't fully agree that this debate is lost. Ron got across some really great points, and the NH voters embraced it. Everytime he spoke there was applaude.

Now for the goods. The more Rudy, McCain and Romney spoke they got into trouble. We now have clips of Rudy talking about nation building, won't that work real well in a TV spot! In a week, most will forget what happened. Rudy talking about training our military to nation build DESTROYED him (in my humble opinion).

Also, his video (with is a great Ron talk on Iraq, many NH voters agree with this!) leads at CNN (BTW, click on the link and use the "email this" icon to get it on the MOST emailed story!), so many Democrats and Independents will see it and know what a great guy he is. We can only win this war with small victories. Today, Rudy stepped on an "IED". (even God helped Ron out a bit, he shut off Rudy's mic ;)

As for the other two. Romney was twisted and jumbled even the commentators took notice. His flip floping is comming out! If McCain is taking 10+ minutes after the debate to argue about his amnesty bill, how can that be a good thing.

Look the polls mean crap now. We all know that. I spoke with someone today who was going to vote for Obama, guess who HE told me his likes now? RON PAUL!

Let's take our good with the bad. Ron WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.!
 
While although I am completely outraged at this mock debate, one thing is clear. And that is the clear dividing line between the neocriminals and the sane constitutional good Dr..

I flipped the channel over to C-span and the support for the good Dr. was everywhere. Ron's support will continue to grow, and I believe grow so much more just because of this debate even though his time was limited. When he spoke he was strong and concise. This was his best debate yet. IMO
 
I every canidate should have gotten an equal chance. Not just Paul but Thompson and all the other second tier canidates got shafted. I mean what info does the MSM have to go on who the first tier canidates are? Just polls that contradict each other. It is pathetic.
 
Some people at my meetup said they didn't like that Revolution graphic; have those guys been involved in shady things like support che guevara or something? I personally like the hippy "love" bit, but i'm a weirdo.
 
Email sent to WMUR.

Ron Paul supporter very disappointed with tonights GOP debate. In a state like New Hampshire that thrives on open and honest debate, how can your station sponsor a debate that plays such favorites with the high-dollar corporate candiates? Although I don't necessarily agree with Tommy Thompson, Tancredo, Gilmore, or the other "second tier" candidates, they all deserve equal time INCLUDING RON PAUL. I hope any more debates you sponsor feature fair time to ALL candidates.

What a sad state of affairs. You know Lincoln and Douglas would debate philosophy and policy for HOURS. You would go to the presidential debate, go home and eat, then go back!

People LIVED for political dialogue. Now we don't even have any that rises above a 3rd grade level.

Dr. Paul does a great job injecting reason and good principles into these debates, but you can just tell it kills him to have to be so sound-byte oriented.

Why not a whole DAY of debate on CSPAN with each candidate taking their turn? My guess would be that Rudy McRomney would run out of answer to fill up more than 5 minutes and would just stand there saying "9/11" over and over again until the bell rang.

No, the "revolution" guys are solid Constitutionalists, but the idea is that you market Ron Paul to the youth counter-culture as a "change".

It's pretty brilliant, IMO and its good since the "Revolution" group is not part of the campaign which allows for legal freedom and a healthy distance from their actions.

The Ron Paul campaign is keeping good tabs on where their support is coming from and they see it is coming from young people and they are marketing to that trend.

I love your philosophy on this.
 
I live in New York City and don't have a car. I do have a window that faces a busy intersaction on the Upper West Side though. Anyone know where I can buy a cheap electronic scrolly sign so I can scroll messages about Ron Paul all day long?

did you live in nyc on 9/11? it would great for your sign to say 'as a resident of new york on 9/11, i support ron paul for president, did i mention i lived in new york on 9/11?'
 
Check this out!

I think this should become our number 1 method of advertising.

Turn your car into a rolling RON PAUL REVOLUTION billboard

it has been for weeks now, only its not a car, its a truck. I've got about 6 RP signs in the widows on the topper. one legalize the constitution vote Ron Paul 08 on each side, one Restore the Republic vote Ron Paul on each side and on the rear I've got a Ron Paul for president bumper sticker, and in the window I have 1776 is the answer to 1984 vote Ron Paul 08 and www.ronpaul2008.com.

:D I drive it 3 hours a day back and forth to work, lots of people see those signs :D
 
My jaw dropped to the floor when Ron Paul mentioned "neocons" in the audience Q&A segment. To actually hear the word "neocon" voiced by a Republican in a Republican debate was nearly too stark and honest for me. I like Ron Paul more and more every time I see him.
