Why the pessimism?

[hammy]

I thought RP dominated. The foreign policy answer was awesome. We can't afford another war even if we wanted another. I think this is going to resonate with Iowans. I'm truly disturbed that a lot of people here want him to pander and soften his message. He has never done this and he never will. I support him because he's so sure of his beliefs.

I was more pessimistic when some of us were frightened by the audience's fabricated "response" than the audience itself.

Hate to say it.... I have had three people inform me they will not vote Paul now

 

[Elwar]

The old people went to sleep in the first hour anyway.

 

[pauladin]

he did ok in my opinion. i don't think ron loses support. once someone's on paul's team, they stay. he may have lost some potential support, but we will have time to tide that over. we will have a positive day tomorrow with leno and joe rogan and the money bomb.

Except it was obvious they booed Bachmann when she interrupted him.

 

[sailingaway]

I saw some 'pessimism' that seemed to be trolls, actually.

You are in Michigan. They can be won back. I'm curious about Iowa right now.

None here. I think he did fine. He's Ron. He stated his positions in much the same way he always has.

 

[sevin]

Meh. People got pessimistic in past debates when Ron Paul was questioned on foreign policy, and yet Ron Paul is polling better than ever! I'm not pessimistic at all, and those who are shouldn't be.

[Chrysamere]

That answer is exactly why I support him.

This and we have the best supporters. We have an entire month to do some serious damage on the ground. Phone from home, donate, do whatever you have to do. This is not going to be won through a tv debate! When presented with voting record and facts, it will be hard for people not to turn to Paul.

 

[mstrmac1]

Im not mad... he said what he's been saying for ever. In fact, its what I like about him the most!

This is the truth. He has said nothing new and he has recovered from every debate where foreign policy was the focus of the debate. American's have a very short memory.

 

[LibertyDreckman]

It doesn't matter what we think, it only matters what soft supporters and undecideds think.

 

[newbitech]

people are afraid of people who use their finger guns,

ron paul didn't use his tonight

 

[ronpaulfollower999]

That answer is exactly why I support him.

Same here.

It's also the reason why we can't get the support of mainstream republicans. It's a philosophical battle. Donate to the campaign and they'll probably get an ad that clears up Ron's foreign policy.

Well I got six folks and gave away 20+ bumper stickers..earlier. Guess you got some work ahead of you doing deprogramming.

If the policy is to bring the United States to its economic knees and impose a totolitarian technocracy on the population it does not matter if we can't afford another war since destroying our economy is the chaos mandated to create the atmosphere for the social engineering necessary to finish the job.
