I know I may seem rather dense here, but I would really like to know the answer to this question: When and where did/will this "debate" take place?

Today at noon. Ron Paul is not attending as he is not in South Carolina.

 

[Johncjackson]

Good way to win Huckabee voters........

You might have a point, but I don't think there's much hope for winning the big-government socialist "conservative" vote.

 

[blazeKing]

He probably didn't go because Tim Tebow will be playing tonight at the same time and no one who is conservative in SC will be watching. It's best to just hold your own event instead.

 

[specsaregood]

Big Govt Huckster has frequently dismissed and insulted Dr. Paul and all of us. good for him turning him down; perhaps it will teach him some manners. The election will not be won or lost based on this forum.

 

[garyallen59]

When/where did this "debate" take place, and why wasn't Ron Paul in it?

One of the Republican candidates in the 2008 race, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, is hosting this year’s GOP candidates at a noon forum in Charleston, S.C.

If RP would have attended, Schmuckabee's questions (accusations) would be:

Racist newsletters

Electability of a candidate that wants to legalize heroin and prostitution

Anti-semitism for not paying for Israel's affairs

Third party run


It was a good decision not to attend this ass and pony show. Few votes to be gained there.

I AGREEE -Was about to type the same thing.

This^^^ No one not already voting for Paul will be watching so it's irrelevant really.

 

[dskalkowski]

Ron is on a four day break, and isn't doing any campaigning. Which is why he declined to go. Simple as that.

 

[Suzu]

I think it's a good idea for him to have a four-day break. I expect he'll be that much sharper at the next debate.

You know the Huckster wil bring up all this with Ron not there to defend.

That fat lying pig will do anything to keep the fraud system going while he capitalizes on making millions.

 

[QueenB4Liberty]

I didn't know he came back to Texas. We heard he wasn't at the Mises Institute today because he was campaigning. Now I'm disappointed.

Oh yes, the Huckster sold his soul. He is a fake, a phony and a fraud. I am sure he's part of the "clergy response teams" the government has to deceive people to submit and obey government.

 

[hrdman2luv]

This is just my opinion.

Ron Paul's first mistake was to not show up at the forum. The media will see this as if he's not seriously running for president. They've already pushed this a lil bit..
Therer was just too much rhetoric spewed from the RINO's mouth tonight.. And Ron Paul needed to be there to spread the thruth.

 

[civusamericanus]

If a moderator such as Huck is known to not be objective, what benefit does it serve Paul. This was "Huck's Kingmaker forum" version of "Trumps Kingmaker forum". Glad he didn't go.

 

[Agorism]

Should have asked Santorum why he has an ad misleading people to believe he served in the military.

Ron has to keep on not showing up at neo-con network forums, to dis-empower them. His campaign has already proven you do NOT have to be dependent on hostile media in order to sustain general momentum, so why back down now?

Yeah, I always get a laugh when he says "I'm the only candidate that served........... ontheboardofmilitaryaffairs"

Huckabee = Trump:

In the case, if it's Ron Paul — and I know I'm going to get a lot of nasty letters and emails, too — Ron Paul is not going to be elected president. He's not," Huckabee said on "Fox News Sunday."

I know neither Huckabee, nor Trump is alone in this, but they disqualify themselves from certain aspects of the discourse. Trump did it more publicly and stupidly of course, but Huckabee is no less treacherous.
