Ron Paul could use more Comments here --

Thanks for posting this Lois.

I liked one of the posts (10:42 am): "Why didn't you call this the Mitt and Rudy Show?"

Sure seemed that way.

Also another interesting note is that Huckabee is in 2nd in the ABC poll. When people hear RP's stances they really like them. Even if they come out of the mouth of another candidate.

I'm sure it's already been said in this thread (it's so long!), but Huckabee sounds like he's trying to be RP.

Can anyone record this happening?

I was going to try, but the comments page is now not coming up when i refresh.

 

[rg123]

my comments keep getting deleted... and i know i didn't break their policies on comments.... in fact, a lot of ron paul comments are being deleted. someone complained the 'ron paul campaign' was spamming the comments...

Then we comment till their server rocks if we cant comment no one can, I also have seen multiples of who won and they deleted it. ABC is fraking around with the web live

 

[richard1984]

Haha. I'd just like to say that Romney looks like he's about to go make a guest appearance on a soap opera--lip gloss and all.

ok, comments were up to 92, now they are down to 83.

Here's 'ol Mitt talking about the economy. Camera fades to show a smiling face of his wifey. Oh... how sweet. Reduce taxes... improve the economy.... But no mention that our economy is tanking because of friggin' NAFTA, foreign aid, the damn war on a tactic, and runaway borrowing by our gummit.

I was the one that said it

You know, if they (GOP powers that be, media powers that be) were not abso-frikken-lootley terrified of Ron, they'd give him plenty of time to answer questions.

They'd at least give him enough time to get his ideas out there, because if his ideas are unpopular, they'd fail on their own.

The fact that they continue to try and keep him from answering shows that they are terrified.

 

[Johnnybags]

It was the Mitt Romney show

with the rest guest stars, we are gong to have to do this ourselves and Ron is going to have to buy air time.

My ABC affiliate didn't show the last 30 minutes of the debate but hearing what happened it looks like I didn't miss much. Yeah its frustrating RP can only get so much time to speak. Perhaps he should be more aggressive than polite. But when he said bring them home, it was the loudest applause I heard in the first hour. This wasn't South Carolina where RP against everyone it seemed. There's support for his position in Iowa and Iraq is the main issue then RP will benefit from that forceful statement he made.

I thought he did fine with the questions he had to work with and so long as didn't commit any major gaffe that will drown out his message he'll be okay, we won't setback from the task at hand.

Look in 90 minuite debate, most of what was said will be forgotten anyway. With RP, "Bring them home" and the strong reaction is what will be remembered, not anyone's answer on the Fair Tax.

Wow -- did you see Romney saying "Have you forgot about 9/11" when Ron Paul was saying "Al Queda had nothing to do with Iraq". Doesn't everybody know --

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 !

thank you, apparently i was the only one in my house that heard that too.... Romney makes my stomach turn..... yes he actually interrupted RP to say "has he forgotten about 9/11? WTF does 9/11 have to do with Iraq????

and mccain wont answer any damn questions instead he just keeps verifying that he served in effing vietnam, i cant understand half of his answers

and i didn't know too much about huckabee before this but i think he came out pretty strong and might have gained a few supporters but I think anyone who is a ghoul supporter only because hes the 9/11 hero and not because they know anything about him will be turned off after today

have they taken down the comment section on the ABC website? I keep getting errors on that page.

TV Station Pulled Debate

I started watching the debate and the station here in SW Florida pulled it off the air, and started airing an infomercial, 15 minutes into it. The station is WZVN(ABC). What do you think is up with that?

Indeed!

Blinders to keep the general public safe from the truth.

Hey. At least McCain has some sense of humor left. "check daily on the president's health"--or whatever it was he said. funny.

Because this was the worst time for a televised debate.

 

[SeanEdwards]

I want to see Ron Paul openly ask at one of these debates if ANY of the other candidates can explain the function of the Federal Reserve and why they support it.

Why doesn't he do something like this? Does anyone think Mitt Romney understands anything at all about the Fed? Ron needs to expose these dorks for what they are, a bunch of stuffed suits.
