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

[Edward]

Is anyone outside of Florida actually watching this on television?

 

[MozoVote]

Mitt takes the sugar subsity and uses it to rant on Obama? Weird. The moderator seemed to get tired of it ,and cut Mitt off in order to jump to PAUL of all people.

 

[wstrucke]

I would suggest that our new drinking game should be to do a shot every time Ron get's to speak, but frankly I'd like to actually drink.

Ron looked EXHAUSTED in that last reply.... what's up?

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

is it me or do they go to commercial after Ron Paul speaks?... its ike 2/3 time it has happened.

 

[Shane Harris]

another non-question lol

 

[VictorB]

I didn't think it was possible to get less debate time with only 4 people left. Well, I have been proven wrong.

 

[georgiaboy]

Tampa == Cigars == Cuba

 

[JVParkour]

The everglades. Geez... I wish Ron would not answer the question so he would have more time to talk.

 

[bobmurph]

ask stupid question...get short answer to stupid irrelevant question.

 

[Raziel420]

dr paul should have said a few words bout the ethanol issue that hemp would be better

 

[jax]

Wow, that was the dumbest question ever asked in devat history

 

[WD-NY]

Why? He's right. Don't be a blind supporter. Accept criticism.

lol, I criticize Ron plenty.

Case in point. His last answer about the everglades SUCKED. It started strong by pointing out that there are bigger problems to worry about like the wars and failing economy... but then he just sort of petered out.

 

[ronpaulfollower999]

lol...I thought they made draining the Everglades illegal? Most drinking water in Florida comes frm Lake Okeechobee or underground aquifers.

retirees have been asleep for hours

 

[Lavitz]

Everglades? Really? Wish Ron could've found a way to turn that non-issue into a launching pad into something substantive.

 

[Kords21]

It is tiring to just stand there for an hour or so for no reason

 

[JuicyG]

Ron looked EXHAUSTED in that last reply.... what's up?

He was probably disgusted by the non-question and lack of relevance question had to the audience.

 

[Bruno]

If the goal of this debate was to make us all fall asleep, it has succeeded. America, snooze while your last liberties and freedoms are swept out from under your feet via the false left/right paradigm

 

[SaulPaulinsky]

What a bullshit question for Ron. This sucks.

Was testing to see if he would say all national parks should bulldozed and turned into amusement parks or something.

You know what else there's a lot of in the Everglades? People's pet pythons. Have to wonder if state-level administration would have been more aggressive in dealing with that problem.
