Um, I don't know what America you're living in, but that's definitely not over here...

Well, the poor and middle classes do control the media.

All I saw of the debate were the Ron Paul sections:

 
From this it looked like he knocked it out of the park, having his best debate so far.
 
Anyone actually watch the whole thing?  Any of the others have anything interesting to say?


Time always wins.

Ron Paul is one of the most discussed candidates on the Web (from my experience), yet is mentioned rarely.  That is because if he won the Republican nomination, he would win the Presidency- no question about it.

The other candidates?  They violate the rules of the debate (going over time, interrupting to get another response, etc.), spend a significant amount of their time going after Obama, or fail to address the question in favor of attacking another candidate (or feeding us platitudes).

From my times watching these debates, Dr. Paul has done none of these. 

I know, it's really pathetic how ignored he is by the media. He seemed to really be the only candidate who was respectful and for the most part stuck to the question asked rather than ranting about how awesome they are.
I think it was Michele Bachmann who kept referring to herself in the third person, and I think Rick Perry did too, and that really pissed me off. It was something like "Michele Bachmann would do blah blah blah", and it just came off as uselessly pretentious to me.

The only thing bad about Ron Paul is his hearing probably isn't what it used to be. WinkLOL


I'll take a guy who can't hear over a guy who can't listen any day.

sh*t just got deep in hurr.

LOL

I totally agree with Rob, though. I'll also take a guy who makes sense and keeps consistent the whole time. I found it really annoying when Bachmann kept referring to herself as the "consistent conservative" and no mention of Ron Paul's, what, 30 year consistency was made.

Oh and I loved this (from Bachmann): "I'm fifty-five years old and I've been a responsible businesswoman [or whatever the actual term she used was] for fifty years"

I had no idea she was a businesswoman at age five... LOL


No one has said one bad thing about Paul.  I don't see why they don't just throw their support behind him and let him get sh*t done.

And about the 55-50 comment, my wife caught that before me (I'm sick and therefore hopped up on hot toddies).   Makes one wonder how she feels about Newt's position on child labor laws!  Big smile

My dear wife also opined (regarding Newt): "Who would want to do him?"  Dead

She would, honey.  Someone 23 years his junior.


That's unfortunate because she looks like a Hagraven from Skyrim.

Religious radical atheists?

In March, Gingrich gave a chilling speech about the frightening future in store for his grandchildren if godless liberals have it their way. Or was it Muslim liberals?

I am convinced that if we do not decisively win the struggle over the nature of America, by the time they're my age, they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American.

Who knew that one could be both a secular atheist and radical Muslim at the same time?
