SC Debate - FNC (1/16/12) 9pm ET - Official Thread

[harikaried]

Online coverage:

Ron Paul has been above the line for #answer
Romney has consistently been below for #dodge

 

[tfurrh]

I think Ron needs to hold a Foreign Policy press conference tomorrow.

 

[tremendoustie]

The big loser so far in this debate is Romney.

This is true. So far, as far as debating skills go (not actual quality of ideas/record), I'd grade Newt: A, Paul: A-, Santorum: B, Perry: C-, Mitt: D+

Disclaimer: I missed the first 1/2 hour.

Ron Paul is giving right answers according to Fox research

 

[devil21]

So no chance for RP to comment on fiscal issues like cutting spending and balanced budgets, though he's the only one presenting any sort of serious plan. Figures.

This is 2008 all over again. IIRC, this was also the same debate with Carl Cameron's "Electability....do you have any?" question.

 

[yatez112]

yeah, so....what if Ron brings to the next debate the Gadsen Flag...

And says... "What part of Don't Tread on Me do the rest of you fail to understand?"

 

[bunklocoempire]

You mean the art of actually hiring/paying a debate coach? Again, the campaign raised $30+ million in the 2007/08 campaign, and has raised millions this time, and we can't get a debate coach? And if they have a debate coach, they need to fire the one they have immediately, because it's clearly not working from what I'm reading here.

but you understand there would still be the issue of the swine....

He actually said we should have respected Pakistan's sovereignty on the Bin Laden issue, unreal.

Yeah, like it or not, we invaded Pakistan and demonstrated their incompetence to India openly. He should have been tried, instead we took him out. End game, same. But maybe we'd have learned more? Who knows now.

Ron Paul is faced only with foul loaded question, where he constantly has to defend against controversial issues in very short time frame. He managed to counter-attack a couple of times but fell bit short on Bin Ladin question. Smart people though got it right. Too bad so many morons though out there.

There was a footage of retarded bimbo from audience who actually had an orgasm when Gingrich mentioned killing people. F... disgusting.

All the questions directed towards him are patently unfair, but he hasn't done a great job answering them. I think he answered the military base question excellent but the international law question he looked weak on.

 

[musicmax]

I'm beginning to think that Newt raising his outstretched arms is a cue to the plants in the audience to act like a nut.

They need cues?

 

[bobmurph]

America...FUCK YEAH!

 

[Kords21]

I hope Fox gets dinged a lot for that crowd.

 

[Southron]

He never gets economic questions ....

 

[KMA-NWO]

I refer you to http://heartiste.wordpress.com/ for an explanation of this...

Yep, that DRUDGE HEADLINE says it all.

Thanks, Drudge!

 

[Lord Xar]

Has Ron mentioned he was endorsed by Davies?

 

[Celes]

Oh man, I hope he can get it together before the attacks start coming... let's try to salvage what we can of this travesty... this is so difficult to watch. Of course they can't give HIM a question on the economy.

 

[TheBlackPeterSchiff]

You guys all need to calm down.

 

[justinjj]

All the Ron bashers tonight can fuck off. You have to realize that you're dealing with Goebells style propaganda along with a political party that panders to lowest-common-denominator automatons.

The Republican Party is fucking garbage. The sooner the Paul campaign realizes this the better of this whole movement will be.
