predictions for the debate tomorrow?

[amonasro]

After watching the first debate and seeing the questions they threw at him, Ron Paul hit them all out of the park with ease. If the media is so scared of him, what questions will they come up with for tomorrow night? Do you think they'll pull out the big guns and ask about medical marijuana, abortion rights, or gay marriage?

I'm fairly new to the whole debate thing as I've only seen a few in my lifetime. I predict they'll ask Ron some tough questions about being a libertarian and he'll nail them, just as he did before, because he knows EXACTLY what he's talking about and what he believes in. That's what makes him so great. Definitely won't be missing this one

If you would like to know what Ron thinks, I can tell you. While in his office Saturday, my grandfather told me he expects to hear tougher questions this time around. He predicted that he would be asked questions about the support of Israel and questions pertaining to marijuana and hemp.

I asked him what he did to prepare for the debates. He said that he has an advantage over the other candidates because he doesn't have to remember what he said to what group about what previously. He just tells the truth and it is easier. He doesn't really rehearse answers.

He did tell me that he thinks about things like voice, tone, and trying to keep from being caught off-guard for the "tough" questions.

I am excited to see that this forum exists.

debate questions

Ron should come out for 9/11 Truth.

Ron should call for end of Iraq War.

Ron should support Kucinich's bill to impeach Cheney. Ron should also call for congressional investigations into war profiteering and cronyism.

Ron should define his campaign and not wait for it to be defined by the media.

 

[giskard]

Is it gonna be televised?

 

[Elwar]

I bet they ask Dr. Paul his feelings on one of the other candidates.

Something along the lines of. "Dr. Paul, how do you feel about Rudy Guilani's views on abortion?".

They'll just hit him with meaningless questions.

Or, "Would you accept a Vice presidency.."

What they really want to say is..."Would you please give up so we can go back to our own plan for the world?"

Is it gonna be televised?

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,270812,00.html

The 90-minute debate will air from 9:00-10:30 p.m. ET. The event, sponsored is sponsored by the South Carolina Republican Party and will be held at the Koger Center for the Arts at USC's Columbia campus.

The Houston MeetUp.com group will be gathering some of their members together: http://ronpaul.meetup.com/24/calendar/5764664/


If you are going to be at home, make sure you watch it on a television where other family members can see it. Get excited about it, turn it up a little louder than usual, and let your family members see that you are excited. They will want to know what is going on and you will have a great opportunity to introduce Ron Paul.

I hope they give equal coverage to all the candidates.

 

[GreyBlood]

I doubt that they will ask him any questions. or:

Brit: "Rudy, should we end the war?"
Rudy: "blah blah blah"
Brit: "Rep. Ron Paul, what is your favorite color?"
Ron: "I think we should discuss the Federal Res-"
Brit: "That is enough out of you"
*Brit pulls a lever and Ron gets catapulted into space*

If Ron really doesn't have a chance at winning, maybe he should just ignore the stupid questions and rant about the Fed. I mean, as long as he is on stage. Make the best of it.

 

[Omega]

I really like that Ron is a strait shooter. Keep up the good fight Ron!

 

[PMAC60452]

Ron will Smoke em all.....

All the other candidates in the last debate looked like a bunch of babbling morons. Only Ron Paul stood out. Truth always shines bright in a room darkened with evil and lies.

 

[NMCB3]

I hope they ask him what his plans are as far as terrorism is concerned, and I hope he has a good answer. Pulling out of Iraq is all well and good, but people are curious about what he will do about terrorists that want to attack us anyway. How will he protect mainland USA?

Many Republicans I have talked to believe that he is weak on defense. If we pull out of Iraq they want to know what he will do about terrorism which will still be with us. After all this is a Republican primary and he must win it to proceed further.

Does anyone know what his specific stance on the matter is? I have read everything I could about him including his new book, and have come up with nothing. This is a big question that the Republican base will want answered, the other candidates will hammer him on the issue if he starts to become a threat. Like I said, I hope he has a good answer. If he does, he will get a huge jump. If people think he`s a patsy its all over.

Please.... 9/11 truth would make him out to be a wacko. Let it rest.

 

[Korey Kaczynski]

I think they're going to ask tough questions. See, Fox News figures they'll get higher ratings if the questions make the candidates squirm. Last debate a few people got creamed; Tommy Thompson and Guiliani, especially. People enjoy seeing that.

When he was asked that stupid question about whether or not he trusts the MSM, he segued into a better position about not regulating the Internet. So he'll definitely not get caught up in stupid questions.

When he was asked that stupid question about whether or not he trusts the MSM, he segued into a better position about not regulating the Internet. So he'll definitely not get caught up in stupid questions.

Actually, when that question came up it scared the $hit out of me. I really don't trust the mainstream media, so I couldn't think of how I would have maneuvered through that question. The question, even though it wasn't exactly relevant to a presidential candidate, it was hot. By "hot" I mean if he tackled the question directly, he could've made a lot of enemies in the mainstream, and they'd be more reluctant to accept Paul as a tier 1 candidate. So the question itself wasn't without purpose. I think that question was deliberately and strategically crafted with syntax in mind. To the casual observer, the question seems harmless, that is unless you work for the mainstream media where the answer is important. And let us not forget how influential the media is in presidential races. It was craftily stated indeed.

At any rate, I agree with you. Paul deflected it in a positive way and turned the focus to the internet, where information about Paul is readily available. It was a genius move on his part, absolutely genius. He thwarted a dangerous question and made it beneficial to him. Double points for Ron!

I think the last debate made him shine, and they underestimated him. This time, the media won't be so flagrant.

 

[Erazmus]

Please.... 9/11 truth would make him out to be a wacko. Let it rest.

While I agree that there needs to be some legitimate independent investigations into 9/11, it's a topic that Ron needs to steer clear of. However, I will say that if Ron Paul does become president, I don't think he would stonewall efforts for instigations into it, which is good.

Bottom line, if there's nothing to hide, then allow the investigations.

But I agree with you, one thing he doesn’t need at this point is negative publicity.

 

[Brandybuck]

Ron should come out for 9/11 Truth.

But we already know what the truth is: some terrorists flew some planes into some buildings. It was not a Bush/Cheney/Rove plot. It was not Communist insiders or the Elders of Zion. Nor where the Bilderbergers or Trilateralists involved.

Popular Mechanics has thoroughly debunked the 9/11 conspiracy claims and answered every one of the questions the "Truthers" want answered. How many times do we need to answer these questions for you? How much more objective can you get than Popular Mechanics? Here's a link to start with, then get the book. http://www.popularmechanics.com/blogs/science_news/3886337.html

Back when the John Birch Society started out, it was libertarian, classic liberal, and traditional conservative. But then it got derailed by a stupid conspiracy theory and has been marginalized ever since. They're good people, but every one of their right ideas about liberty is overshadowed by their nuttery on insider conspiracies. Don't do this to Ron Paul! I want him to win, not to be put in a corner with Rosie O'Donnell.

There's more than enough room in this movement for debate an all issues, but you need to accept demonstrable facts as facts. The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Oswald shot Kennedy, and terrorists flew planes into the WTC and Pentagon. People don't need to be part of a conspiracy to commit evil, they only need to be evil.

Aaaaargh!!!! How many times do we need to investigate this! How many times do we need to answer those silly questions! If you have a problem with the answers, then address those problems specifically. DO NOT keep asking the same questions over and over, pretending that no one has answered them! Everyone one of the "9/11 truth" questions have been answered. Every one of their claims has been debunked.

Sticking your fingers in your ears and singing "la la la i cant hear you" won't stop facts from being facts.

Holy chit man! This is not the place for this. Please stop. This is a Ron Paul forum. Since you felt obligated to post your Popular Mechanics rhetoric, I'll respond a debunk to the debunker.

Now people can judge for themselves. In a true free society, people aren't attacked on their views, people aren't attacked for questioning their government, and people aren't attacked for asking for an independent investigation. The 9/11 commission wasn't an independent study. Perhaps you're satisfied with their results, I am not, and I have the right to ask for an independent investigation. I never pointed fingers or said who did it. You, sir, are assuming. I merely have questions and want them answered, and honestly PM did a piss poor job.

This is the last I will post on this. I am for Ron Paul and this is what I am here for.
