Debates - I reckon they'll fire UNEXPECTED questions at RP

[febo]

They know RP is too learned to be outwitted on real issues so they'll try stuff like the I-phone / blackberry thing.

What else might they try?

Q. looking forward to the next episode of ... ?
Q. what do you do on monday night?
Q. which celeb do you want to duet with?
Q. when did you last dance?
Q. favorite record?
Q. favorite decade?

 

[sailingaway]

I'm sure Ron can handle them. But I'm sure they'll do something, and it may well be just give him uninteresting questions.

 

[libertybrewcity]

Ron will do what he has to do. At least he is IN the debates.

Favorite decade has got to be the ought's (00-09) before the Fed existed.

i'd love for him to respond back with something like "this country is facing bankruptcy, i'd prefer to address real issues"


Edit: yeah, i could see them insulting him with a backhanded question. Something like.... "Congressman Paul, why should you be elected president at the age of 77?" (of course that would be his age at inauguration. Not his age now)

Regarding electability (subvocal "all hail my master Satan who I have sold my soul to")....do you have any, sir?

 

[mconder]

Do you like lady GAGA or Kate Perry?

 

[dannno]

Do you like lady GAGA or Kate Perry?

Both. At the same time.


BALLER!!

For some reason I can't picture Ron Paul giving that answer.

Yeah - that was a killer. They'll probably eventually try the age angle - but RP's got a great answer for that one.

Question: "Doctor Paul during the last Republican Presidential campaign cycle you were repeatedly asked during various debates if you didn't get the Republican nomination would you run as an Independent or Libertarian. You didn't get the Republican nomination and you did not run as an Independent or Libertarian.

After the election our polling research shows that if you ran as an Independent or Libertarian your anti-war stance would have caused a significant number of younger voters to vote for you and not for Barack Obama.

[Begin to flash meaningless pie charts, graphs, Venn Diagrams, and union protests on screen.]

And your anti-NAFTA position would have meant some Democratic union members would voted for you. Add to that your isolationist views would have appealed to a great number of people. All this would have added up to enough votes to have cost Barack Hussein Obama the election and allow John McCain to be President today.

So my question to you Doctor Paul is this: How can you stand here at the Republican debates, saying you're a good Republican but recent history shows you allowed Mr. Obama to become President?

Whoa, trip out.. are you sure you don't work for them

Boxers or briefs?

Mr. Paul, (notice Mr. - not Rep. or Dr.) you've submitted bills with Barney Frank and Dennis Kucinich, you voted against your party on nearly every piece of legislation they put forward, you cite democrat Grover Cleveland as one of your favorite Presidents, and you are opposed to Paul Ryan's budget that's designed to rein in government spending. The question, Mr. Paul, is aren't you running for the wrong party?


(I can see them doing this type of hit list thing where it's impossible to refute everything in one answer.)

20 seconds, go.

The best part of these threads is the comments seem so asinine. The truth is though non of these questions are really that farfetched in comparison to what has been thrown at him before. Cheers.

 

[WilliamC]

I actually see Ron Paul as being one of the better treated candidates in his most recent interviews, so maybe it won't be as bad as predicted.

Like, I can totally see this question...

"Congressman Paul, how do you explain the actions of your son, Senator Rand Paul, and his obstructionist polices in dealing with Americas financial problems. I mean, it's bad enough that the media had to endure decades of your truthful interference in our attempt to brainwash the public to believing that the Federal Government is the legitimate authority over their lives, but now you had to go and procreate your ideas as well. How do you live with yourself?"

(warning: sarcasm above)

 

[eok321]

Ron should just disregard any nonsensical question asked and outline the differences between him and Rick Perry. Nip the problem in the bud as it were.

 

[sailingaway]

For some reason I can't picture Ron Paul giving that answer.

I don't think he'd know who they were....

 

[Lisle16]

If Ron gets unexpected questions, no biggie!

He's got more intelligence and common sense in his little finger than all the other GOP candidates have COMBINED!

 

[MJU1983]

Ron poses a question to them: "Fox News... Credibility...do you have any?"
