Where is the txt to vote poll???????

 

[Proph]

was it a mistake for RP to skip Hannity?

why is the crowd supporting Cain?

It's "Fuck you, Frank." That's why they're supporting Cain. I normally don't get into this quasi-conspiracy shit, but this asshole makes a living off of "spin."

And yeah...if Ron skipped Hannity purposefully, it probably was a mistake. However, if he had already made an obligation to go to the tea party thing before the Hannity show asked, I think it was okay. It means he has character because sticks to his word. I wouldn't put it past Hannity to straight up lie like that, though.

I was thinking the debate went well until the post-show. It was a *lot* more fair this time around. Fuck-You-Frank ruined it, though. Cain? Really?

I'm tipsiebeans, btw. Shit pissed me off enough to post in this stupor...but if I'm using words like "stupor," I'm apparently not that intoxicated...amirite? I'm still pissed off, though.

Also...notice how they didn't have a god damn post-debate vote this time around? Methinks they're scurred.

[HarryBrowneLives]

Yep, I wouldn't be holding my breath waiting for the text vote poll. They know that THE REVOLUTION = the masters of the technological universe. ... BTW, Frank can stilllll kiss my ass!

No need for that, votes already been taken, Cain won, don't need your vote.

 

[Depressed Liberator]

I really, really hate all these candidates, besides Paul and Johnson that is. If Paul doesn't win the nomination, just fuck everything about that god damn party.

 

[eduardo89]

No need for that, votes already been taken, Cain won, don't need your vote.

Yeah 28/29 voted for Cain. He wins. Election over.

Ron left because he's a major candidate and has a base to talk to. He will NEVER pander. And I get tired of people on here telling him what he "should have done". I converted so many voters tonight.

 

[Lucille]

Ron was great!

We're killing it in that poll, lol.

Ron did great... fumbled once or twice but for the most part did great, esspecially on the Israel question... I think some neocon minds exploded in the crowd tonight...

Gary Johnson didn't do too well... they asked him the abortion deal early, he never recovered... I really feel like sending him a "get well soon" card...

InSanitorum (sp?) scared me at the start... he had all sorts of applause going with his buzzwords/phrases/speak-english etc..., but was glad to hear his vocal-support go down as the debate was wrapping up...

Pawlenty, bleh, he did alright...

Cain lacked any substance at all, but he was blunt and played to a Fox-style audience well IMO... he had softball questions, but he more than knocked 'em out of the park (though he didn't really answer them)... like I said, no substance, but a lot of the dumbasses watching that debate aren't looking for substance... really sad...

being black is not a plus in a GOP primary, and would only be a plus in the general if the Dems dump Obama. blacks will vote Dem unless Obama is dumped; then they would be so angry a black on the Rep ticket makes sense.

the race card to play is Hispanic.

That's just not true. I, a Republican won the African American vote in Halifax County against an active Democratic candidate. That victory enabled me to win my race. I spoke with them (not at them) and I told the truth. I shared my plan to make jobs, which I have been enacting, and explained (also true) that I am fighting to restore the Frederick Douglass vision for the Republican party.

The idea that "a Republican will never win the Black vote" is a lie, which I myself have demonstrated as patently false. In fact, I dare say the key to future long-term victories by the GOP will be found in partnering with minority conservatives to achieve libertarian, anticollectivist, and constitutionalist goals.

Go into the Black communities, and lay out the platform of Frederick Douglass beside the platform of Ron Paul, and show how you want to restore that vision and set America free again.

And then watch the polls on election day.

One can flip a coin as to whether it was right or wrong to not be on Fox post debate. I think RP just decided fuck it, no need to put my head in Hannity's noose and show 'em that I can and will speak on TV, in part, on my terms. In other words, we've moved on and up a little over these guys who are donwline from me in the poll and cash and if you want me, you have to do so on my terms a bit and hurt your own ratings if ya don't. Balllsy. Go speak to the grassroots in SC for a while. Real campaigning. In this case, I like it.
