Today's the debate! OFFICIAL 9/7 debate thread!

[J. Evins]

"Rick Perry is doing his best Reagan impression. (Shouldn't have picked Alzheimer's Reagan though!)" ... LOL

 

[kill the banks]

trust your leader he has changed the forum completely and he will continue to awaken the sheep

 

[mello]

I don't think he was given 1 follow-up question throughout the entire f**king debate.

 

[green73]

Paul

What an awful thing to say.

 

[LineHogs]

You tell em ron. It's awesome that he got the last question and used it to tout liberty. That is what seperates him and it is also time for a leader who exhibits it. america is a free nation and it will flow this way or that until it reaches a point where the people need something else. I believe now is the time.

Ross = Ron Paul

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

Liberal Socialists @ MSNBC & POLITICO set the agenda and control who wins, loses, and ignored.

Core Marxists Corrupt Lizards questioning Republicans at the Reagan Library, How Fuckin Bizarre is that?

 

[phesoge]

Well, I hope Ron Paul forces the Reagan worshipping morons to look at History and look at the massive deficits that occurred under his (Reagan's) watch. Paul was so right when he said "we have to be honest with ourselves".

 

[Restore-America-NOW]

This.

Guys, I literally have a headache and I think my enthusiasm for Ron Paul has been crushed for at least a few weeks. I guess I'm going to go drink something and entertain myself on the boobtube before bed. Good night my fellow patriots and pray to god we have a miracle

 

[Jingles]

My god this debate was terrible (Ron Paul was fine, but it was the directing of his questions and such to others and lack of questions).

 

[Ireland4Liberty]

I don't think we gained much, but I don't think we lost much, Ron did some good evasion on two attempts to make him sound like he's without compassion (the minimum wage questions, and the Food program question) he took both of those and turned them around.

Although, he sounded awfully tired, not himself, and that borders fence answer was just awkward...

Summed up perfectly.

 

[Eric21ND]

Walls/fences are isolationist. Reagan worked to tear down a wall or two.

 

[DrN0]

can we get "fuck you brian williams" trending?

working on it...

 

[libertybrewcity]

that was a shitty debate. Ron did what he could and answered effectively. I applaud him. there are two more debates this month so don't worry about it.

stay optimistic!! donate on the 17th!

 

[YumYum]

I've watched this debate from the very beginning. Ron Paul is almost embarrassing to listen to. I hate to say it as I love the guy and agree with a lot of what he says. But he will not win with his incoherent rants and silly little glibs that he tries to be funny with. His AC comment about the troops and FEMA burned him. His rant about a border fence keeping Americans in got zero applause and was embarrassing. People don't want to hear crap like that. He could have answered the drug border war question brillianty by following up with his legalization of drugs and taxing marijuana production but he just rambled trying to fit in several arguments. Using words like ALL, END, ABOLISH, i.e. absolutes will never get him anywhere. He needs to play politics a little bit. He made a comment about $2.00 gas and brought up a 10 cent silver piece worth $3.50..........ok that went right over everyone's head obviously....INSTEAD HE SHOULD HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE FED INFLATING THE MONEY SUPPLY WHICH IS WHAT HIS POINT WAS!!!!!!! Sorry but Ron Paul is done. He he spoke like Herman Cain who I hate he'd have the nomination already.

Yeah, and people didn't like hearing some of the things that Jesus had to say either.

Can we get "fuck you Brian Williams" trending?

Really.

 

[Badger Paul]

"I bet this will be a hot topic on MSM as they will likely try to use it to tarnish him, make him look crazy, etc. but now Paul gets to discuss the increasing police state every time a pundit asks him about his "kooky" statement."

And you know what, if given time to speak on this, I think he could wax brilliant about it on news shows. Good point.

Also, just remember we've got two more of these this month alone and plenty more coming the rest of the fall up until the caucuses. What happened tonight is just one blip along the way. Everyone is going to be focusing on Perry afterwards.

 

[foofighter20x]

LOL, LBJ. Mr Compassion.

Of course LBJ was full of compassion. Just look at all those bombs he had dropped off over Vietnam.

 

[Badger Paul]

"People don't want to hear crap like that. "

Really? Did you ask every single one of them? How do you know?
