Official Ames debate thread!

[pcosmar]

There were not many voters in that at all, before they moved it. It really proves nothing. I wish it did.

Actually, before they moved it there were over 6000 (almost 7000) for Ron Paul and almost a 2-1 lead over Newt. And well surpassing ANY others.
They were recorded by location,,all over the country.

It shows clearly that it was NOT just a few spammers in a couple locations as has been alleged.
It shows clearly that his support is widespread and diverse.
And it shows that his supporters are awake and paying attention. (more than any others).

That is hardly "nothing".

I've been seeing this for months here and there's even a smiley with "The Collins" on it here. Who or what is a Collins?

He's a member here, and LOL the way he walks by.

I'm watching this now:

That is great, thanks. Also, Dr. Paul never said he wants to let Iran get a nuke. He said that our CIA has said they are not trying to develop nuclear weapons, and that it makes sense for them to want them since everybody else around them has them.

It's a mixer designed to water down an intoxicant and is old hat even when fresh out of the bottle.

Remain calm. There are several fine and effective antifungal medications on the market today.

Don't get me wrong: Cain is a ridiculous candidate and I would never vote for him in a million years. But I sort of started to like the guy last night. I mean, Bill Kristol seems like a very nice guy to me, even though he is one of the most insanely wicked men on the face of the earth. I really liked it when Cain said he had changed a position after looking into something a little deeper. Can't remember the topic but he seemed very non-egoistic and sincere at that moment.

national review has a debate reaction poll where dr ron paul, michele bachmann, mitt romney
and newt gingrich are double digits in the 20s. the other lesser 2nd tier people are single digits.

matt collins is a five digit posting RPF member infamous for his zeal and rumors and opines. he may eventually run for public office given that he's a poly-sci guy!

Lol!

A lot of us keep asking the same question!

I hear he comes out of the Shire and uses the name Underhill when traveling, traveling to Iowa for instance.

...then there are those who simply don't give a flying :collins: about the :collins:.

The one that's really important to know about is that elusive Bunchies guy....

I'd help you out with that one but my computer skills are lacking, and I can't produce the Bunchies as easily as the :collins:.

All in good fun.

It was the Muslim thing I think.

I don't agree with all of his positions, but I do believe he is truly a good man.

Ron educated Cain the same way he did with Giuliani!

I copied the Bachmann post interview for you a little earlier in this thread. Post # 972.

There are so many things that I want to say about the debate last night.

Ron's answers to the foreign policy questions had me cheering.

Romney literally said nothing substantial. He just took jabs at Obama and dodged every question.

The Bachmann and Pawlenty bitchfest was a huge waste of time, as were the other fights between candidates.

Nearly every candidate reinforced the desire for 'leadership' as always. They still haven't considered that they don't have the right to run people's lives.

Did I miss anything?

Some say he doesn't exist. Some say he has three heads, six hands, and types 15000 words per minute.
