McCain stumbles over Ron pauls question

[For Paul In Arkansas]

McCain did the non answer dodge the question deal.

mccain is such a shitplug.I hate his fucking grin,yes just a shitplug goof

Wow, with the rate cut and tax rebates you think he would be well versed in this now. Paul should have asked a different question though. American people have no clue about this shadow market group, nor do they care. He should have asked something simpler like with 500 billion in debt, our bridges and levies breaking at home, how can we afford to stay in and rebuild Iraq for 100 years without raising taxes and eliminating social security. That would have shot McCain down since those are two big buzz words that destroy a candidate.

I love you Ron, but you have to dumb it down for the American people. :O)

no way dude...he knew McCain didn't know the answer....thats why he asked it! Ron Paul is the man

Oh, I didn't realize how absolutely hilarious McCain's sunshine line was until after I had read a bit about the PPT. I nearly fell off my chair watching the clip the second time around. XD

Way to go I'm-so-well-versed-on-economics-that-I-have-no-clue-how-to-answer-an-economics-question McCain!

His answer was like an oscar winner acceptance speech.

".. and all the other people who tell me what to think and say. Finally, of course, I'd like to thank the Academy. 100 years in Iraq! Good night everybody!" *pumps Oscar in air*

what is the strategy behind asking McCain that? Was it just to stump him? Or is RP planning on using his answer later to use it against him? I really didn't get it to be honest

Best moment of the debate:

lol - he's scared to death.

 

[ewizacft]

I wonder if he asked me that to trick me?

Answer: Yes

Wow, thatnks for posting that clip by itself. When I saw it live, my thought was "WTF kind of question is that when you could ask him about the 100 years, the POW cover-up, etc", but in retrospect I think his question was genius, making McCain talk in circles like an ass.

 

[skipford]

"Well obviously we'd all like to see more sunshine." Good one John, good one.

I know he knew McCain didn't know the answer. Not faulting the question there. Just how many non-Ron Paul people did we get on board with that question. Maybe some wall streeters and reaffirmed our beliefs but how many joe shome is now in our campagin.

Oh EXCELLENT, it has the captions up! That's the first time I've seen a youtube with captions that was not a foreign film!

pssst.... if more people would put the captions on their TV sets when they TIVO stuff for youtube, that would be a boon for I and other deaf folks (including senior citizens!) who can't watch a lot of the other Ron Paul/debate clips...



I was watching the debate that night (with captions, yes), and it was priceless seeing line after line of names popping up with sunshiny filler and McCain's "I was there" line (is it me or does he use that line in everything he says, much like the phrase "my friends"?). Hah!

His answer was like an oscar winner acceptance speech.

But he didn't actually answer the question, just name-dropped people he might have in his administration if elected.

A little bit, but not much better than the Romney answer in a previous debate about 'consulting his team of lawyers" for his stance on something.

Exactly. He just babbled a load of old flannel for 2 minutes and said NOTHING that might answer the question.

And this ass is the frontrunner Repub candidate?

Fucking tragic

He's been endorsed by David Cameron too, the UK's next PM. We're gonna get another useless prick running our country too

Pauls response

There's a video floating around out there showing Dr. Paul remarking on McCains apparent confusion, paraphrasing.....he must have been confused the people he named are on the team.

Dr. Paul not only knows what it is, he knows who's on it.

Some people don't like that question, too obscure, but I think it's these type of question that distinguishes him from the pack.
