Fox News Debate (12/15) OFFICIAL Thread

[awake]

Blacked out Ron.

 

[jware]

So what is the previously un-discussed topic they're going to bring up? Have they covered it yet?

Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?

I come home from work, and there it is - a link on the front page to RP on Fox this afternoon. He absolutely killed it. Then I kick over to Fox's stream of the debate, just in time to watch Ron Paul render Neil Cuvuto, mister awesome financial reporter, speechless. The crowd cheered.

Am I watching the same debate I think I'm seeing? Holy cow!

Romney talking about free markets. LOL

Don't count your chickens yet.

This.

 

[anaconda]

Romney is increasingly uninspiring.

 

[leglock]

He puts an earmark into the bill because, if he doesn't and the bill passes (As it usually does), the money that he didn't earmark is a blank check for the President to use what he wants for. Ron rightfully knows that the Executive branch doesn't have that sort of power, so he has no choice but to earmark out of principle. His point was that we shouldn't have to earmark if everyone followed his lead and voted no on these bills.

I understand his point, I just disagree with it.

If everyone follows his lead and vote no on those bills, doesn't the money go to the Executive Branch then?

Too many threads.

We are crashing the server

I wonder if the OLD DUDES have passed out yet.

LMFAO.

Earmark = state equivalent of tax deduction.

Pro-american foreign policy.

Nice analogy and reframing!

Romeny question

Over the next 10 years will most of the new jobs be created (what sector)

Romney answer

The market will decide - bla bla bla Criticizes Solindra scandal with Obummer. "Manufacturing will come back to the US" "Energy" "Tech" "Drill baby drill". "This economy has every potential to lead the world" "This is going to be an American Century"

Let's be honest, could Ron have given the answer Romney just did on job?

That was solid.

 

[wgadget]

Newt wants to ABOLISH the 9th circuit. He's crazy. ZANY, even.

 

[NC5Paul]

Fox is going nuts on Newt. Did not expect this. Wow.

 

[wgadget]

Newt wants to ignore the Constitution. The man is dangerous.

 

[libertyfanatic]

Pandering to the religious right...

I understand his point, I just disagree with it.

If everyone follows his lead and vote no on those bills, doesn't the money go to the Executive Branch then?

No, the money isn't spent at all. If voted yes and there's still left over money, then that money will go to the Executive Branch. Ron earmarks any leftover money, hoping to keep money out of the hands of the President.

Problem is Romney doesn't believe in a true free market. He believes in a corporately controlled economy.

 

[ForLibertyFight]

Judicial dictatorship? LOL

Ron's answer would have more substance. Stop yer complaining, Ron has improved a lot.
