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

I think people here are really making much ado about nothing. A neocon acquaintance posted that he thought Ron would make a great candidate if he were a more eloquent speaker, and he's also determined to research Rick Perry's praise of Hillarycare and mandatory vaccination program, along with Romney's mandate.

I agree wholeheartedly. He made his points, had a few good responses, more debates to come, no big deal on our end. However, PErry got f#cked tonight. Now the word is out. People are going to look into it and see he's full of $hit.
 
NBC should be ashamed of themselves. What a piss poor debate. How hard is it to give everyone equal time? Someone buy Brian Williams and that Politico douche a stop watch.
 
Didn't see all of it, but from what I saw I thought his performance was very off...incredibly disappointed. I know everyone is saying Perry got shelled, but when I heard him speak it sounded like he was really bred for this. If I had to guess he came out a huge winner...its sickening to see this obvious plan composed years ago come to fruition, though.

It always has been and will be Perry...uhg.

Seriously, what the fuck, people? I thought Ron did great. Why are we all being a bunch of negative nancies?

I know, I don't understand. Ron did great. The fence answer, and also criticizing Reagan, were exactly the right things to do. The American people need to see that someone is telling the truth in these debates. With all the other candidates trying to sound like him, Ron is moving the ball further and distinguishing himself. I really believe that the voting public today wants someone to be man enough to tell them the truth, even if they don't want to hear it at first. There is still a long way to go, guys. If this was January and Ron had a lead, I agree these things would be mistakes. Now is not the time to play it safe, he needs to break through.

Ron wasn't at his best when he attempted to go on the attack, but the fence answer?

Music to my ears.

Man, we're like inches away from Soviet style oppression here and Americans are just ignorant of the whole damn thing. If America collapses into totalitarianism, then the history books will record that Ron Paul warned us it was happening and people laughed him off. That's the kind of record we are going to need if there is any hope that our people will be the ones to rebuild after the collapse.

Perry looked like a talking gorilla up there, he did terrible. If the GOP nominates him, they deserve what they get. He has no chance of winning over independents -- Obama wins in possibly a landslide against him. I don't think the average GOP voter is so stupid, I really don't. I predict his numbers decline from this debate.
 
I only saw the RP highlights from pipewerKz's link above, but I think all of his answers were great. He handled them all very well, and you can tell
they were trying to "get" him.
 
Good Debate by Ron, as Bachmann falls and Perry falls Paul with Climb!

Remember to get out and SUPPORT Ron Paul!

It's ok to be realistic about his performance tonight. Also, like others have noted, his frankness allows him to stand out regardless of how many people steal his platform.

With that said, it always makes me laugh when you yahoos that LIVE on the internet and forums slight the opinions of those of us who actually HAVE A LIFE and don't spend every waking moment chatting it up in the forums. You folks piss me off. The idea that somehow you are better than me just because you have a million posts is absolutely backwards thinking. You're idiots.

Divisive much?
 
I'm just now watching, and this is terrible. What's with these ludicrous questions? They aren't asking him anything remotely pertinent. Their questions are like the questions we country kids used to ask city kids when their families moved out to the sticks.. Our "did y'all have McDonald's in the lunchroom" is just like the moderator's "who regulates drugs and what about the pilots durrr."
 
Why, MSNBC Mods?

According to the media's standards, Ron Paul is a "top-tier" candidate because he comes in 3rd Place in most polls. Yet, he got the least amount of questions in the debate (even though he was the first to receive applause from the audience).

Bachmann's hair looks really good. Not as great as Perry's but still.

As a make up artist I would say um NO. She let it grow out & it looks she didn't know what to do with it. Perry's stylist looks like 1970 Gay-Ken hair...not that there's anything wrong with that.
 
@Gunny
Unfortunately, if the USA collapses into totalitarianism, the history books won't even mention Ron Paul or will talk about him like they do about some of FDR's opponents. The positive to this is that the nation has been here before (read "Salvo Against the New Deal"), and though never fully recovered, it came back enough that today's erosion of freedom is noticible to many. The Goldwater revolution took 16 yrs to culminate in a Reagan presidency. If Ron wins, that's a mere four years to foment another change like that. And, unlike Reagan, we have a candidate who can't be swayed.
Look at those photos of Romney and Perry with Nancy Reagan! I wonder if she and Ron talked at all before or after the debate. What a wonderful thing a Nancy Reagan endorsement would be, given the falling out he and her husband had over the final years of Reagan's presidency.
