Fox News Debate (12/15) OFFICIAL Thread

Sometimes I have to leave this forum because it's so DAMN DEPRESSING AND PESSIMISTIC! Seriously, no matter what Ron does or says I feel like half this board has pre saved "oh noez the sky is falling!1!" responses prepared to just auto-send. I'm so sick of this defeatist "everything is falling apart" attitude. If we're going to get all half hearted and weepy because neocon warmongers who love Fox News won't vote for us then we should just give up now. Ron nailed that question, the crowd booed Bachmann, and Bachmann got a free education for a few minutes.

I couldn't agree more. Each debate I watch this thread and listen to the comments, then I watch the debate on You Tube and wonder WTF people were getting so dissilusioned about. They want Dr. Paul to pander to this so called "Conservative Right" that is a dying entity.

He is gaining ground because is different than the rest of them.
 
So long as you don't have Rick Perry-style gaffe people talk about for a week then you've can pretty much say you've won, because you've survived. Considering where we are in the polls right now that's pretty good. It would be different if were at 8 percent and we made no headway or strong impressions in a debate.

We've got three weeks to win this thing, Let's Do It! Moneybomb and Leno and we should be a okay!
 
i think ron needs to make a different argument regarding iran. although he's right about foreign entanglements its not the most effective argument. he should turn the argument to economics and say "do you want america saddled with 30 trillion in debt, then go to war with iran. do you want to pay 10 or 15 or 20 dollars per gallon then go to war with iran" i think we need to remind republican votrers that all wars are economic in nature and we simply cant afford another one

Yes, that is a better way of explaining this issue.
 
Ron did good about plugging: Israel backs me, and the American people back me. Also, I think that with more people supporting Paul now, they viewed tonight as an attack on THEIR guy. This could be good.
 
Yah, something like "Iran cannot bring down the US, the implosion of our economy will bring down the US".
exactly. an argument that says if you're for the war with iran then you're also for the destruction of the american economy would put a stop to the war mongering euphoria
 
I thought Ron vs. Bachmann was awesome. And if she wants to go to war with Iran so badly, I hope her 1,259 children are prepared to suit up and go fight it.

Uh, I think he DID.
 
They should call this the "Left-Right Paradigm Post Debate Show!"

Guys... one more try. FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND pamphlets were mailed out listing this place as a resource for people to find out more about RP. Many of those were to CHRISTIAN conservatives in Iowa.

Please CLEAN UP YOUR LANGUAGE. Stop the f*bombs. Otherwise, you are going to run them right out of here and away from RP.
