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

[Hyperion]

As frustrating as it is, you have to realize you can't win a debate where the questions are scripted like this. Example:

Had Ron's question been phrased: "With the country now over $15 trillion in debt, and difficulty in paying for Federal programs that are needed by some of our most vulnerable citizens, can you explain how your plans to draw down American intervention in foreign countries would help sustain these programs without killing the budget?

Get nasty questions, you always look bad. Socratic reasoning = rigged.

Absolutely. The questions are clearly designed to paint candidates in the light Fox News wants.

That is what I just said...did you not read my quote????

I'm not pissed at you, I'm pissed at Mittens.

 

[William R]

Ron is lazy. How many times does he need to be asked about Osama, and Pakistan and he still doesn't have a set of talking points.

If you're a minority it is racist against you. Trust the judicial system, at least moreso than a life sentence in Gitmo without trial, for terrorism and similar things. Apples and oranges.

Way to edit my quote:

Wait Ron says trust the judicial system, yet he says it is racist in some elements with prejudice.

It doesn't mean they are incompatible. It just means we need to correct what is wrong with it.

That means to correct it...fix it. Doesn't mean get rid of it. Where did I say abandon it???

Look at my original quote, not even edited, yet you edited my quote for me.

Ah, shut up frothy.

My son just made more sense in his diaper. It smelled better, too.

There is a techinical problem with the quotes on this page, I was seeing someone elses quote. I changed my post. I think were overloading the server.

That is why it is so important to learn the art of debate. Someone like Romney would not have answered the question they gave him. He would have talked about whatever he wanted to talk about.

And thankfully it's the 0% tax rate quote, not the...umm...other thing

Angry drunks stay off the forum.
You're making me stop thinking about what I'm gonna do to my wife, and start paying attention to how much I hate the people on TV.

After living 17 years in America and watching these A-holes, I am so glad I moved to Australia. I will send my brother, who still resides there, a video of this debate. It might convince him to come here.

I love Dr. Paul. Keep up the fight. But...

True. He keeps putting his head in the noose and the press keeps coming back for more.

Rick Santorum was voted dumbest in Congress. That doesn't get enough play.

Was he really? He was voted most corrupt and dumbest?

 

[Kevin Smyth]

This is the first time I've seen Santorum go after Gingrich.

HELL YEAH!

 

[jersdream]

I'm not pissed at you, I'm pissed at Mittens.

Okay fair enough.

Well Mittens is trying to run as far right, as far statist (in the "conservative" mold) to win the nomination. He is a rat. PERIOD.

Thank god. I hope this will be the story from the debate, but I know they will kill him for his poor FP answers.

 

[The Gold Standard]

Thank GOD we have another debate on Thursday, hopefully it will erase this one. But it is still gona hurt him in the polls.

I don't know. People say that after almost every debate and it hasn't happened yet.

Santorum ripping Paul off.
