USF Tampa Debate (1/23/12) NBC 9:00 pm ET Official Thread

I just clicked through a few news channels. Fox, MSNBC,...
Mitt. Newt, and occasional Rick. No mention of Paul.
We know that they didn't let students in the audience.
The cards are stacked.
During the debate, they will marginalize Ron Paul.
His arms wavering will not be enough - he will be ignored.
Unless he does something dramatic - it's over.

Brett Baier had a panel on earlier who talked about Ron and that it was obvious that Gingrich was adopting some of Ron's ideas, presumably to carry favor with him in the convention.
 
I'm watching msnbc through the stream and they are having a go with saying Europeeeaaan like its an insult, without ever bringing an argument whats so bad about the Europeeeaaan way?

They are talking about the upcoming debate like its some kind of wrestling match. They talk about anything but the actual issues.

"If they would do a mud fight, who would win?"

No point in watching this. We all know what's going to happen. Paul will be off to the side, hardly in camera shot, he will get passed over, unless its a setup question. He won't get rebuttals in. They will cut off his answers. Then, in the post debate if they bring him up at all it will be to marginalize and/or attack/ridicule him.

Then, if paul does amazing and comes away the clear winner, it will be under reported, and what is reported will be an effort to marginalize, discredit, attack or marginalize him.
Complete waste of time and not worth getting me pissed off over.

Hope I'm wrong... But im not.
Enjoy it if you want. I pass. I'm done w the media as a whole.
 
It is 11:15 in the morning here in Australia. I am working at home today and listening to music.

I put on some "Pink Floyd," and two words struck me.

"Comfortably numb"

Says it all...

+ rep for Pink Floyd
 
WTF? Not on MSNBC channel. The NBC page won't load the debate. WTF? What if you held a debate and no one heard? :rolleyes:
 
They actually said that? They will never be invited on the show again.

It was Charles Krauthammer who made that assertion. I believe he said that Newt wasn't trying to gain our support, but Ron's.
 
Only at RPF can you have 87 posts and nearly 2000 views on a debate thread with more than half an hour before the debate actually starts. :D

See, I was thinking this the whole day. And I still can't help myself. I'm a sucker for pain. Why do we put ourselves through this? And I bet it is a million times worse for Paul being on stage with these criminals and liars.
 
no wonder Atlas shrugged tanked at the box office, it is the definition of 'this movie sucks'
