Fox News Debate (12/15) OFFICIAL Thread

His answer about Iran is not going to appeal to the average Republican voter. The people pointing this out are not "trolls," they are just more aware of how the average undecided voter thinks.

Clearly the entire campaign is over for some of you hyper-critical fuckwads. Just turn off the TV and don't bother logging back onto the forums if it's so traumatic for you. Ron is saying what he always says. It's gotten him this far and now everyone wants to him to contort himself while jumping through all these hoops? Calm down.

Everything will be fine. Just as it was yesterday, so too will be tomorrow.

This is the reality. Good post.
 
Truth will prevail. One way or the other, the truth will prevail. That is all we are doing here, and Paul got the truth out again.

Buck up.
 
People know where Ron Paul stands on Iran. This didn't hurt us at all IMO. He strengthened the resolve of people who are with him, and possibly changed some minds about the wisdom of rushing to start a war with Iran.
 
I just don't get it. It's not like the Paul campaign doesn't know which foreign policy talking points work and which ones don't. His responses tonight on Iran were horribly weak and are going to cause some (I don't know how much) damage to his campaign. He recovered slightly, but there was way too much rambling and quotes which are perfect ammo for his opponents. Stick to talking about hundreds of bases worldwide. Stick to talking about how we can't afford this foreign policy. Stick to talking about how you get more money from troops than all other candidates combined! Stick to talking about how we stared down the Russians and the Chinese but can't stare down the Iranians? Every word the good doctor utters about 'of course they want one' does a horrible disservice to the non-interventionist position in this debate format. There's no time for complex ideas, use good strong talking points that get strong applause while maintaining your values!

This late in the campaign, there's no excuse for this! :(

On a lighter note, his non foreign policy answers have been great so far tonight.

He did well. If people want to not believe Paul, that's on them...you can only present the facts on the most important issue: war and peace. Ron made a distinction with everyone else....that is what he needed to do and that is what he honestly believes in his heart.
 
They're going to leave it there with Paul. I'm betting only 1 more chance for him to speak.
 
Did Ron really get booed? I think maybe slightly? from what I saw it was mostly for what Bachmann was saying. Not being biased...
 
Just a heads up guys but not everybody wants a war with Iran. I know many neocons who want a global military presence but have also expressed serious concern to me over this drumbeat for war with Iran. The percentage of people that want another war is very small.
