The OFFICIAL (10/11/11) Debate Thread! - Bloomberg / WaPo @ Dartmouth

[bolidew]

Rick Santorum better don't create his extra time out of thin air..... or maybe Ron can do it that way too?

 

[r3volution]

i declare this thread UNOFFICALL !

 

[libertybrewcity]

Apple or Iphone? Hitler or Westboro Church?

 

[Razmear]

Will anyone be able to watch this debate tho? Nothing in my local listings in SC? Not sure how many people get the Bloomberg channel around here.

Oh, you forgot the "3rd party candidate" question, maybe even FEMA !!

Here's my prediction: He'll get a few questions, one which will undoubtedly be about the Cleric killing which will ofcourse set the crowd booing Ron, other than that, they may ask him about the fence comment again or some other meaningless topic.

 

[J_White]

and then give "frontrunner Mr.Cain" 2-3 minutes to explain his stupid 999 plan !!
I hope I dont see Santa again, .....ever !!

Maybe they'll ask him about biking around Massabesic without a helmet on?
Should they ask him about his desire to "End the Fed?"
"Here's thirty seconds in which to tell us how you'd set up competing currencies, audit the Fed, allowing bad debt to liquidate; and put it all in context of the Great Depression and FDR."
"Mr. Cain, you were a regional Fed chairman. Is Mr. Paul right?"
Anyone here think that this will be Santorum's last debate?

Yeah, but I don't see many seniors around here sitting in front of their PCs watching webstreams of the debate. I'm sure I can find a way to watch it, but the average voter won't even know it's on.

I'd like to see them ask Cain about the 999 plan in depth. Like how most zillionaires dont actually make income like the rest of us, so their 9 percent wouldnt be taxed at all. How someone who works for themself would be taxed via this new system. How 999 wont turn into 35 35 35 in 20 years. The fair tax makes more sense than this new tax, keep the old taxes too, plan.

I want them to hammer him on his Fed chairmanship, and his reversal on the Fed Audit and later denial he was against it.

This should be the Paul debate. Economics is his strongest suit for most 'mainstream' republicans. I wish it was on mainstream TV. The only people that are going to see this are basically us and people who see clips on the main news channels the next day that can be manipulated as the MSM owners see fit.

 

[TomtheTinker]

ill take bets at an over under of 7 minutes and 25 seconds.

 

[TheTexan]

Ron needs to take the gloves off for this one. He won't get much talking time if he talks only about how great his knowledge of economics is... he needs to go on the attack, and of all the arenas he should go on the attack in... economics is it.

 

[tangent4ronpaul]

He presented a bill a while ago to fic the economy. When asked he should highlight what is in that. the media ignored it.

 

[Bruno]

Ron should say his 0-0-0 plan before Santorum can. I heard Rick say it before the VVS.

 

[Crotale]

Ron Paul needs to show how he is the only frontrunner who opposed TARP, and stress how Cain and Romney supported it. It would also be cool if Ron Paul talked about how he predicted the collapse, whereas Cain said it was all rosy and in the following two weeks the global economy was torn apart.

Did you just say "frontrunner Mr.Cain" ?
Looks familiar - maybe the mainstream republicans are going green.
Time to recycle those old signs from 2008...

 

[zHorns]

I don't get Bloomberg, but I'll steam it live.

Looking forward to this one.

Please please I hope Doug Wead can relay this to Ron

I am sure he will. I can see that Doug is responsible for a lot of the recent success and deserves a ton of thanks from all of us.

But I bet Ron gets to speak for 5 minutes tops.

 

[Shane Harris]

he needs to say. listen. economic policy does not exist within a vacuum. economic policy is inextricably tied to monetary policy, domestic policy, and foreign policy. to ignore this truth and think that we can sever economic policy from the rest is foolish and unsound. the government cannot create jobs. jobs are a means not an end in themselves. the goal of any economy is to allow the free market to compete and create better products that consumers want at less cost. essentially to make the best service with the least amount of effort. our society is only as efficient as it is because we have in the past enjoyed a relatively free market. without which we wouldnt have cars or the tvs or machinery to broadcast this.etc. jobs are a natural part of a healthy economy, and, being a doctor, the way to cure our economy is to stop taking the poison of corporatism, the unholy marriage of corporations with big government, using regulations and bailouts and favors to push out small businesses and competition. If we liberate our economy to a free market america will rise again as the greatest nation in the world and wave the flag of liberty atop the mountain of prosperity.
