OFFICIAL THREAD - CNBC.com 2008 Debates at 4 pm ET

[Joey Wahoo]

Did y'all catch that Huckabee responded that the president can attack another country even if Congress says NO??

I hope someone makes him pay for that answer.

 

[bbachtung]

Rudy wants us to follow France's lead . . . on nuclear power.

 

[jumpyg1258]

If Mr. 9/11 was smart like me, he woulda answered Pearl Harbor as I was thinking and not 9/11 as a quick attack.

 

[Primbs]

We need a debate with just Ron Paul and Rudy.

 

[JayDee]

The other candidates are acknowledging Paul, we are in the "and then they fight you." stage.

 

[BrianH]

Rudy just said 9/11 was organized in Iraq.


WTF.

No he said Afghanistan and Pakistan and we might have prevented it by an attack there!

 

[JAHOGS]

Holy sh#t

Ghouls just said we might not have gone to war in Iraq if it wasn't for oil????

Did he seriously just slip up and admit that????

I was thinking the same thing. I think he stepped in it and then didn't realize what he was saying. What a DA

 

[Badger Paul]

Shakespear once wrote kill all the lawyers, Romney wants to consult all the lawyers.

Awwk 9-11! AAWWK 9-11! AAWK 9-11

Is that a parrot on Gulianis's sholulder?

 

[Ron Paul Fan]

Mitt Romney: Consult lawyers, not the Congress and the Constitution.

Ducan Hunter: Preemptive strike on Iran

Rudy Giuliani: Radical isamists attacked us on September 11th. Where were you on September 11th Congressman Paul?

Mike Huckabee: Congress says no, attack anyway!

Ron Paul: Read the Constituion once in a while!

 

[avix123]

Paul nailed it on the head with the, "it was a group of 19 thugs, not a country that attacked us."

Stupilani reponded, "They were planned in Afghanistan and Pakistan." Freaking idiot, explain what Iraq had to do with it, or Iran.

 

[bbachtung]

Brownback thinks that electricity doesn't require the use of energy produced by gas.

 

[nsellers]

Well...RP got a good round of hands afterwards. Was there any clapping of the other candidates who had the opposite answer of RP?

 

[Mitt Romneys sideburns]

Fred Thompson is looking really bad in this debate.

 

[honkywill]

Rudy just said 9/11 was organized in Iraq.


WTF.

It probably stems from his absolute lack of knowledge of anything other than capitalizing on tragedy for his personal benefit.

 

[RonFan1776]

Climate Change Card!

 

[fightfortruth]

I just tuned in ten minutes ago. They typically put Ron Paul at the end.

Ron Paul rocked the past few questions. Guilliani was trying to call Ron Paul out like a snake. He uses 9/11 as an excuse or talking point for everything. I can't stand him.

 

[Joey Wahoo]

It was a great answer. Huckabee said the President can attack even if Congress says NO. Thats just incredible, even for a neocon.

 

[Brendan Wenzel]

This is a Republican debate right??

 

[angelatc]

I am just aghast that almost every man up there thinks it is ok for the President to use the military to wage war without the approval of Congress.

 

[Mitt Romneys sideburns]

Putting a man on the moon is a matter of national security?

Defense against the Cylons. Battlestar Galactica season 4 starts in January, so the Colonial Fleet should be arriving at Earth sometime next year, with the Cylons hot on their tail. We need a Moon Defense Base.
