OFFICIAL Orlando Debate Thread! (9/22/11)

[kahless]

Anyone wanna bet on who the media will say "won" the debate?

Here is what I think the MSM script is.

1. They will say Perry clearly won the debate.
2. That Bachman did poorly and is all but finished.
3. That it almost a dead heat with Romney slightly lagging behind but is in trouble? (a question they will keep asking for weeks to come).
4. They will give some attention to Johnson to take attention away from Ron Paul and he will use Ron's talking points. Allowing Johnson into the debate was the right thing to do but strategic on the part of the MSM to do so at this point for the purpose of weakening Ron Paul.

5. After the debate Perry coverage will be dimished and they will start promoting Romney again, actively campaigning for him up until the next debate. They will say Romney is making a coming back and bogus polls will show he again tops Perry.
6. Romney will drop back again when Perry announces Rudy Guiliani as his running mate. The media will celebrate and say Perry is by far now again the front runner.
7. To keep it a dead heat Romney will announce a VP pick to put him back on top over Perry.
8. Bachman will still be a formidable adversary but the media will under report as they do Ron Paul.

The purpose of all the above is to keep Romney and Perry as top tier in the eyes of the viewer regardless and with blatant disregard of the facts. The point is that if Obama wins, the MSM wins. If Romney wins, the MSM wins. If Perry wins the media still wins but not as much as if it is a Romney win which is a close as they can get to an Obama win.

maybe we should start several official threads, and then when somebody posts in them we can send them here.

the other OFFICIAL debate threads moved like lightening about 10
to 15 minutes before each debate and then they went faster than
that during the better interludes. we ended up with several small
"summing up" threads catching the excitement and helping it along.
i thought i was bad by consolidating my mackinac bumps in my thread
into two postings and then filling the older posts with poor old toady!

Anyone know of any online feeds of the debate?

this debate better not suck. however it is fox, no one can claim to be surprised when it turns out to be another shit show and twisted, biased, spun, unfair clusterfuck of frothy proportions. prepare for giant douche vs. turd sandwich.

In before Collins creates "The Official Iowa Caucus Results Thread" a few days before Halloween.

Are you kidding?

The next thread I create will be the official "President Paul Inauguration Thread"

 

[jumpyg1258]

Oh for some reason I was thinking the debate was tonight, lol.

 

[Aratus]

^i am in shock^ matt collins is being reticent? he's waiting to create the PRESIDENT RON PAUL thread?

 

[dannno]

My prediction is the biased against Ron Paul "gotcha" question during this week's debate will be about Palestine becoming a State with the upcoming UN vote. I'd give them 50/50 odds asking the question to him.

That's a softball question for RP..

 

[KramerDSP]

That's a softball question for RP..

"I don't even think we should BE in the United Nations" and "Israel should do whatever they want without us getting in the way. Peace would come about a lot faster if we stopped meddling in their affairs". Am I right?

 

[Duckman]

That's a softball question for RP..

It could be. Ron needs to stress that the USA should not get dragged into any potential conflicts resulting from a Palestinian State. That needs to be a major point.

you would have to submit first a form along with an affidavit expressing your interest in creating an official debate thread.

make sure to state specifically for which debate you are interested in creating the official thread.

also make sure you meet all official deadlines when submitting the paperwork.

your application will then be processed in the order it was received and you will be contacted withing 4-6 weeks assuming the application was well filled and all paperwork submitted. incomplete paperwork will delay your acceptance for creating the official thread and even play a role in the decision.

Is #FOXDebate the Twitter hashtag for the debate tonight?

 

[Matt Collins]

The Veteran's Ron Paul Ad is scheduled to run prior to and following the debate. Remember Ron Paul will be on Hannity at 11:35p tonight!

 

[C_J_Burns]

I just hope he keeps in mind that while the media doesn't consider him a frontrunner... others on the stage will. And likely resent the fact that he polls ahead of them.

 

[Shane Harris]

bump!

 

[parocks]

People who are attending the debate should bring their video cameras and take video of the airplane which has a lit sign with Ron Paul slogans and messages on it. That video could be useful as titles for sections in a tv show or for many other worthwhile purposes. The plane will be in the air today 8-9 p at the debate.

 

[Corey]

Anyone at the debate tonight, make some noise!!!!! The last couple debates I haven't heard the usual raucous RP crowd that we all (including RP) appreciate. I think this is why some people are so critical of the debate performance. Ron hasn't changed at all, but the RP supporters in the audience seem far more timid lately....
