Official CNN Tea Party Express Debate Thread

[anewvoice]

amirite

I just heard Austin Powers in my head, hey, maybe Huntsman can use an Austin Powers joke next time!

 

[devil21]

Punching down is never a good idea.

At some point we gotta start knocking these other time-wasting candidates out of the picture. The pure concealment going on with both the media and the candidates of Cain's past really bugs me.

 

[tremendoustie]

Best just keep Cain as the 999 pizza guy, and not make him look as a higher tier by calling him out for something.

This. Don't punch down -- go after only romney and perry.

 

[therealist]

Interesting that no candidates, RP included, ever call out Cain for the one BIG job he never mentions. His career at the St Louis FEDERAL RESERVE BANK.

you are right but not really sure how attacking him would benefit Ron Paul or anyone else.

haha i feel bad for jon hunstman. i dont think he has any friends:/ lol poor guy cant even get his supporters to spell his name right

huntsketchup?

 

[asurfaholic]

Look at wolf get his makeup touched up

 

[libertybrewcity]

moar debate!

 

[Dissident]

Guys, I think this is Ron Paul in his absolute prime right now. You need to call all your friends and tell them. It's like Jordan scoring 63 in Chicago. 1 hour to go!

Haha. Great comparison.

 

[JoshLowry]

So far, so good.The national security bit coming up sounds like it has scripted anwsers prepped.

 

[Brett85]

Why does he continue with this compassionate garbage on national TV? If a casual observer not familiar with Ron Paul caught this debate, they would be led to believe that we could just wave a magic wand, end the overseas operation and voila!!! debt problem solved!!!! This is entirely disingenuous and beneath Ron Paul's reputation. I'm sorry I gotta call it like it is. You save a little over 1 trillion dollars by eliminating the foreign defense apparatus, but you're still running annual deficits in excess of 600 billion dollars. Ummm earth to Ron.

He clearly said in the debate that he would close down a number of federal departments.

 

[Harry96]

It's pretty cool how they're showing what's going on during the break across the bottom. I've never seen that before. I saw Wolf and Ron shake hands.

 

[NJames]

Newt made a great point but not strongly enough. "Government doesn't create jobs." That kind of talk about politicians creating jobs shouldn't be allowed in this country. The people should shout down any politician who starts talking about creating jobs. The governors might as well talk about how they grew the crops in their states while they were in office.

Repeat after me, America: "Government doesn't create jobs-- EVER."

 

[chudrockz]

You are letting your imagination rule what you see right now. You are just going to have to trust me on that. What you are describing is not even remotely like what is coming from Ron Paul.

Call to "ignore" officially seconded.

 

[Esoteric]

Fed and National security, anyone??

 

[PeteinLA]

Pretty good crowd tonight. At least they have some life.

Dont forget we were in that boat not so long ago.

 

[libertybrewcity]

*bankers shitting pants*

 

[Harry96]

Santorum comes out in favor of the Fed.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

YEAH! Western NC Tea is a Ron Paul stronghhold

 

[nasaal]

Santorum to answer the Fed question?
