January 8, 2012 NBC Debate - OFFICIAL Thread

[Xenophage]

I literally had a Paul hater argue with me over division. Not division as in a sports league division, not as in divide and conquer, but the actual mathematical concept itself.

The media is just not honest.

It's not about honesty. It's about acquiring and maintaining power. That's their only goal.

Forgot about this little debate. How'd it go?

Just watched the Paul highlights, thought he did really well today. Did he "win" the debate today?

Why is my replay of the debate sponsored by Boeing?

 

[wgadget]

Yeah, I just noticed the same thing.

BOEING-sponsored debate...No wonder it sucked.

Do you think they might have asked Ron a few more questions?

Geez. I guess Ron is on Boeing's bad list.

I'll admit NBC did a decent job taking this seriously. It sure took a long time for these debates to feel "presidential". At least we never had to endure the Donald Trump debacle.

Paul did attack Romney at one point but he then moved to a more general discussion. I think there are a lot of things Paul has up his sleeve for Romney but maybe he doesn't want to waste his ammunition until at least Perry and Huntsman are gone and its down to four after SC.

I think Paul did very well, but maybe a little too intelligent for many Americans with some answers.

Not sure if this was already pointed out, but once again Santorum really showed his lack of class and immaturity at the end. Go to 7:56, and just pay attention to Santorum. He sure seems to be annoyed at even the mention of the word "liberty".

"Say Huntsman gets past Paul. Because getting Paul out of the discussion would be healthy for the party, he's not going to be the nominee." -Chris Mathews.

Un.Fucking.Believable.

Any youtube of this comment (or an official transcript of that part of the discussion) - would be useful for future 'media-bias' videos

 

[wgadget]

So basically a Democrat =a Republican? Is that what he's trying to say?

Thanks for finally admitting it, Matthews.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

I mean BOLDLY! TRANSPARENTLY! PROUDLY! WITH HUBRIS!

ayup. they did the same thing in 2007-2008. This is why we RP supporters got such a reputation for being so very angry.

If you recall, the blackout started again a week or so before the Iowa caucuses. With Ron's third place finish and Santorum's surge, MSM probably thinks it will work again in NH. CBS is definitely going that angle. Let's hope the Life Free or Die state is aware of what's going on and the campaign puts our money to good use. I honestly believe we can get a first in NH if the cards are played right. Some of Ron's responses this morning leave me less optimistic (i.e. he was asked the perfect question from the Internet on how he would lead congress and the nation to push his policies and failed to answer it in any way, he also did not respond to Santorum going on and on about how he has submitted 456 bills in congress and only had one make it into law).

NH went McCain in 2008 because of his antiwar stance.

 

[AllAboard]

I just finished watching the highlights. Today's debate was on par with the majority of the debates. Paul did well but he did not stand out. Last night was a much better performance by him, but he never really does bad. These debates are really out of his control anyway. He did the best he could with the questions asked.

In my opinion, I think it is really foolish to have two debates within hours of one another. I really don't see the point. It is not like these debates give a wealth of new knowledge about the candidates. It's basically the same 3-4 questions asked to each one every time.
