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

[BuddyRey]

Remember after the Univision debate in '08? Cubans and Cuban Americans loved his answer so much that there were comments all over the blogosphere like "viva Rumpaul!"

 

[Hyperion]

I'm convinced: Santorum is insane.

I don't understand the world he lives in.

 

[UK4Paul]

Santorum: there are terristz 90 miles from your house!

 

[Back In Black]

I see that smirk on Frothy's face again as Paul speaks on FP. Someone should smack it off his stupid face.

 

[Bruno]

WTF!!! Brian!! Ron obviously was due a response and asked for it!!

Jump in, Ron, we got your back!

 

[stopstealingmymoney]

brian ignores rebuttal while giving romney and newt all his rebuttals

 

[Indy Vidual]

Rick is a fear-monger....

 

[flightlesskiwi]

Did Santorum suggest that he would give the Cubans "mountains of aid" once Castro is dead?

yes. and that they are dangerous because the iranian islamists are "talking" to cuba

 

[donnay]

We do not own the seas, air or other peoples property!!!! How arrogant.

 

[giovannile07]

Santorum is a dumbass.

 

[fisharmor]

Santorum: If you had listened to me and bombed everyone 6 years ago when **I** started talking about it, we'd all be shitting rainbows!

 

[hammy]

Economic sanctions on other countries = not an act of war
Economic sanctions on us = act of war

What am I missing.

 

[jsteilKS]

The last I heard the Castro's are starting to change Cuba and released 25,000 people from prison. They also started giving back government controlled industries to the people.

 

[mk8]

[RonPaulFever]

Rick Santorum wants to give Cuba "mountains of aid" when the U.S. is 15 trillion in debt....

 

[steph3n]

Santorum and Newt are crazier than a nematomorpha'd cricket!

 

[WD-NY]

Perhaps, but it doesn't win votes. It just encourages the "Mitt should choose Paul for Treasury Secretary, he sounds smart"

For most people watching these debates don't react to specific words in the answers, they react to the "sounds/tones" made.

Ron's tone was solid during the econ answer.. he sounded like he knew exactly what he was talking about.

Same goes for his Cuban answer... he sounded "alpha" ... and so people watching will respond positively to his response.

 

[flightlesskiwi]

are cubans considered to be brown, too??

 

[RonPauledbyYoutube]
