Huckabee won the values Voter debate by 63%

[Matt Collins]

What is everyone's thought on the Values Voter debate?

 

[Qiu]

www.valuesvoterdebate.com's homepage isn't showing any results... anyone find it?

 

[Richie]

I'm looking as well. Can't find it.

[size=+4]That Ron Paul won.[/size]

 

[zebov]

As much as I like Ron Paul and his views and stances, sometimes I think his demeanor during debates is less than optimal. I think he could have come across a little more relaxed. I'm not a fan of the yelling so much.

 

[ItsTime]

it sucked, was boring, stupid and pandering. Ron Paul was the only one not having is lips around someones co....nevermind. He still did win though, if we define win as telling the truth and not...nevermind

 

[Geronimo]

I got me a headache, this big and it has Keyes, Brownback, Tancredo, Cox, Hunter, and Huckabee written all over it

the only time he really yells is when he is trying to talk over the cheers

You staying for the "conclusions" that are supposed to be coming on at 10:45??

 

[wgadget]

Ooop...I guess it's not conclusions, it's Commentary.

He may have won philosophically and constitutionally. But in the eyes of those organizations and their supporters he's in league with Satan because he won't use the government to enforce the will of God and hasten the rapture.

 

[hvac ak47]

Well its clear Ron is the only one who understands what the role of government should be. He answered everything honestly, while others were pandering and kissing ass. Ron Paul won hands down!!

 

[1000-points-of-fright]

Ron Paul was the only one not having is lips around someones co....nevermind.

I think "cross" was the word you were looking for.

 

[chiefsmurph]

Good point. I really doubt that limited government is really what those people were looking for.

 

[Mr. White]

Anytime more people hear his message he wins.

I'd like to see Cox throw his support in for Ron.

 

[jblosser]

People, stop pretending everyone in a given group thinks exactly the same. You know Ron's a Christian. There are plenty of other Christians in that group who agree with him, and now that they've heard him, they can.

Yes, there are the batshit insane bloodthirsty ones, but we don't really like it when the rest of the world judges all of America by Bush, do we?

 

[10thAmendmentMan]

I watched it for about a half hour. The questions... my *insert major deity here* were most of them absolutely awful. If you were to make a satire of what an ultra-Christian Republican is, you could just take direct footage from the people that asked the questions and save yourself the effort.

I did see Paul answer a question on libertarianism and drug/prostitution/gay marriage laws, and I thought he explained it well enough that even that crowd had to begrudgingly accept his response.

 

[10thAmendmentMan]

I'd like to see Cox throw his support in for Ron.

His vote (along with his wife's) won't help much nationally.

I echo that. I think that it really did give me a headache. I don't know what else would have.

but, as always, Ron Paul rocked!

Yes, he stumbled over his words a little, but I guarantee you he's done more campaigning lately than all of the rest of them (maybe combined...I don't know--I don't follow the others).

His closing four minutes made up for any earlier missteps. That bit on getting out of the UN, WTO, etc. etc. was really good, too.

I came away from it with

• that Ron Paul has major guts showing up at a debate with this crowd
• this is probably the best debate I've seen so far for giving equal time
• the idea that Huckabee is trying to run as vice president
• that Keyes is completely crazy
• that Keyes is there to attack Ron Paul
• Tancredo is worse than I thought he was
• Brownback is worse than I thought he was
• that John Cox is a bad public speaker
• that Duncan Hunter scares me as a person
• that there is more dislike for the IRS than I knew existed
• that there is more dislike for NAU than I knew existed
• that rational arguments took a backseat to pandering in this debate
• that the questioners and audience are short sighted on issues of government internvention
