ok ron saved it there but the 2 guys askin the questions can go smd

 

[invisible]

Wow, did anyone else catch the expression on Ron's face as he walked offstage and greeted Carol?

 

[wgadget]

I want to cry right now. This world is so fucked up. How can people be this evil? Do they not see what they are doing to the country.

Come now...All of us conspiracy theorists know that Rick Perry is the Chosen One, hand-picked and groomed by the Bilderberg Group.

 

[kylejack]

who?

Paul

 

[LatinsforPaul]

Ron Paul gave his BEST answer at the end which happened to be the last question of the debate.

I van't believe Paul didn't get ONE foreign policy question. I guess MSNBC didn't want anyone to know he is the only one who is antiwar.

 

[raider4paul]

Ron got so screwed.

 

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

He was able to end the debate with a strong point against the attacks he usually faces, implying libertarians lack compassion. Take that.

 

[NorfolkPCSolutions]

Campaign is going to have to ramp up the offensive against the media

Hear hear

 

[Chieppa1]

Can we get "fuck you Brian Williams" trending?

 

[wgadget]

No, what was it?

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.

I don't think his AC and FEMA answer was bad. You bring up other valid points though.

Don't you dare say that! You'll be called a troll!

 

[AlexMerced]

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...

 

[wgadget]

Okay, people. BOYCOTT TIME.

 

[MarcNY]

lol if I was Ron I wouldnt even participate in this bullshit. People dont watch TV anymore anyways.

Ron Paul is losing the 50+ age group.

 

[Tom in NYC]

MSNBC treats him worse than Fox. This debate is further proof of that. Every question was phrased to make him look unsympathetic or downright crazy.

 

[MelissaCato]

Can I Twitter now please ?

 

[sunghoko]

Rick Perry trying to pronounce keynesian economics was the highlight for me

 

[gjdavis60]

Ron really got hosed for time. I hope someone calculates question count and talk time comparisons.

so basically we should sugar coat everything and feed you B.S. so you'll be happy like the dead zombies in the rest of the country....not why I am voting for him...I'm voting for him because he tells the truth...no rambling just truth...you must be used to used to the sound bite answers
