I overslept. Almost forgot about the Republican debate. Woke up to Iowans cheering Ron Paul. Hit snooze.

When he said, "Just come home" I thought it was the biggest applause of the night. Hopefully that issue alone will help him at the straw poll since that's all he really got to address. I think he got two answer twice on the Iraq war, once on Cheney, and once on what he'd do as President. They skipped him on taxes, the bridge collapse, and health care so that will hurt. Starting in September there will be a debate basically every week through November so hopefully by then a couple candidates have dropped out and the debates will be more open.

They make me want to gag. Not the best way to wake up in the morning....

But hey, Dr. Paul is killin' 'em in the online polls. And you can't tell me that other candidates' supporters don't know how to use the internet. The internet itself is not a Ron Paul phenomenon. So obviously Ron Paul is awesome.

I feel like turning cannabilistic on stephonopoulos' face.

 

[Perry]

They don't love him...just our traffic

Think of it as ad time and we're paying for it.

BTW: Originally Before the Debate the poll was intitled "Who Will Win the Debate"

During the Debate it said "Who is winning the debate"

After the Debate it said "Who won the debate"

Now that the good doctor is crushing it is now says again "Who Will Win the Debate"

That way they can't say he won the debate, that that was just pre-debate sentiment.

Obama even gets a sound clip in the GOP debates! Good Lord.... Can't they just ask questions?

I actually find that funny.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Oh god, if Paul doesn't get the nomination, the Republican Party has no chance in hell to win the Presidency.
He also needs to interrupt these jokers just like they keep interrupting him!

YES! He's going to have to start being more forceful!

 

[Dustancostine]

Also I think Huckabee is the one we have to watch out for. He is a good speaker, and took RP stances on just about everything other than the war, which he was some what soft on. Maybe Thompson or Romney has told him to steal RP's stances, to dilute his support in exchange for VP.

Good catch.

I wish they could be held accountable for their cheatin' ways!

probably because you clicked on a link someone posted after they voted

you need to go to the http://abcnews.go.com/politics link and look in the first box about 8 down and you will see "vote:who will win the debate"

 

[Electrostatic]

We need to DO SOMETHING about them skipping "Dr. Paul" on Healthcare and "The Taxpayers Best Friend" on Taxes...... Pure BS!

 

[richard1984]

YES! He's going to have to start being more forceful!

I agree. But also, he doesn't want to come across as an overbearing asshole like the rest of them. I doubt many people are watching this anyway.... I mean, it's church time!

you cant do anything................ RP has to stick up for himself and go out there and get his time like the other lesser knowns did. Hopefully a bunch of them will be dropping out soon, which i think is gonna happen soon enough. Then Ron will get more time for sure.

 

[ThePieSwindler]

I'm sure im simply reitering the common sentiment here when i say that this debate SUCKED !!!!

I did like that Ron tried to have a little more fire in his belly.. but he got to talk on like 4 issues. He had like what, 3 minutes of face time total? Romney had to have had at least 20 minutes. I cant wait to see the graph of the speaking times for each candidates.. it felt like it was worse than last time. He would have dominated the health care and taxes question - but of course he wasnt asked them!

 

[Ron Paul Fan]

We need to DO SOMETHING about them skipping "Dr. Paul" on Healthcare and "The Taxpayers Best Friend" on Taxes...... Pure BS!

And the infrastructure question! Dr. Paul would have gotten a huge applause if he'd said something about spending billions of dollars bombing Iraq's bridges and building them back up again while bridges are defective here at home. And I agree with whoever said Huckabee was taking some of Dr. Paul's stances. I guess they might not be that wacky afterall.
