Official CNN Tea Party Express Debate Thread

[Esoteric]

They're making sure Bachmann picks up the Perry fallout.

WTF? It seems that the 911 Commission Report quoted him as well.

He doesn't speak well enough to pull that off. Huge blunder. He was doing so freaking well on the question too, until he detonated.

What a surprise, CIA King doesn't mention Ron Paul.

 

[The Magic Hoof]

What did Ron say Ive had worse to? I didnt hear tbat part.

 

[Valli6]

Overall this was the worst debate in CNNs history.
F**K CNN and F**K this DEBATE!!!

No way was this worse than the debate in '08 where Anderson Cooper told Ron Paul they'd get back to him and then never did!

 

[ApathyCuredRP]

I think Ron's answer was great. Don't get discouraged guys - this realistic logic is exactly what led me to Ron to begin with and is why I will continue to support him. To ignore the attacker when they tell you specifically why they attacked is just childish, stupid, and embarrassing.

+rep I agree. Honesty is good.

The post debate talking heads are atrocious.

 

[svobody]

Rick Perry got the shit beat out of him in this.

Bachmann is a light-weight Ron Paul wannabe.

 

[ItsTime]

Ron Paul won this debate.

Gergen is about Establishment as you can get. I wonder if he will mention RP.

 

[muh_roads]

Fuck these god damn teocon's. Stop taking my money and inflating my dollar you pieces of shit. Supporting militarism is no different than a liberal supporting welfare.

fuck off.

I think Paul did an AMAZING job with his foreign policy answer. When the boos started Ron was like "no I didn't say that! I'm trying to explain to you what their stated motivations are!" (or something to that tune anyway). That IMMEDIATELY shut up the crowd! Ron OWNED this debate...many of the candidates took huuuge hits...we knocked it out of the park!...3 CHEERS TO SUCCESS!!

Yeah keep thinking that......his answer was absolutely terrible. He could have succinctly said in a few sentences look we police the world overthrowing democratically elected governments, we supported Bin Laden in the 80s against the Russians, we supported Saddam against Iran, and now we are supporting Saudia Arabia..........ITS CALLED BLOWBACK! Instead of he gives some Alex Jonesish answer almost like he's showing sympathy for terrrorists. THAT IS WHY THE CROWD WAS BOOING HIM! Again of course he didn't mean it and of course the audience is filled with idiots......BUT Paul needs to start APPEALING TO IDIOTS or he's NEVER GONNA WIN! All this money, all this energy........what's the damn point if the guy never gets in the white house? Geez! He didn't own anyone or anything again in this debate. He had a few solid answers on a few issues.

Yessirree..and don't it smell divine?

 

[NorfolkPCSolutions]

This is terrible. I am seething. Wolf Blitzer is a liar. I wish people could see the level of corruption going on. Our founding fathers would be at the door with rifles if they were still around.

You know, you are correct, really you are, sir.

Alcohol helps. Are you of legal drinking age? That's the only way my mind can take this crap...

Well, that and hope for the future, because there is so much fucking intelligence here in these forums...it might be enough to save this wretched, bruised and beaten nation.

 

[pacu44]

you realize that the media is gonna run with "Paul is unelectable because the Tea Party booed him"

 

[anewvoice]

"Sadly, we just lost the election."

Didn't we say this last week?

The forums are known for some drama you know.

GREAT debate Ron Paul, got in when he needed to, let the sharks eat themselves when he did not. I'm looking forward to a Santorum book list.

Bohemian Grove Gergen:

"These tea partiers like that the candidates got a lot of equal time".

 

[wgadget]

So where do we vote on who won?

 

[green73]

Thanks, Gergen.
