Republican Debate on Univision (Tonight at 7pm EST)
Univision ^ | 12/09/07 | Reaganesque

Posted on 12/09/2007 9:27:33 AM PST by Reaganesque

Here's a link to Univision's coverage.

If you want to watch the video on the website, the first box, under "video" on the upper left hand corner of the page is where to click. If you want a translation of the page go to Google Language Tools, enter the link where it says "Translate a web page" and the entire site will be translated for you. It's not a great translation but, it'll give you a good idea.

I don't know how many of the candidates will actually speak in Spanish. I imagine most of them speak very little if any so, you may not understand the questions but you will likely understand the answers.

FYI.

I know they advertised that the candidates would all be speaking english.

I’ll just wait to see I guess.

There are a lot of very conservative, hispanic, Republicans in Florida. And many of them are for securing the border, if I’m not mistaken.

I can’t believe that in Los Angeles where 2 out of every 5 residents are Spanish speaking that I can’t find it on TV.

I can’t believe it either. I looked around in the OCRegister tv guide, there’s channel 34. I think thats Univision. Will check it out later. Don’t see any debate listed.

Tancredo isn’t going. He’s the only one that refused.

Wrong..I just checked the closed caption..it is in Spanish as well with no way to translate to English.

Figures, but I can't go to the grocery or hardware store without having to hunt for the English instructions.

You can’t find more rock-solid Conservatives than Cuban-Americans. They know from experience where liberalism leads.

I can only get it on the net, and it is not closed captioned on the net, so screw it!

You’re right of course. I won’t listen. No way. I shouldn’t have to learn a second language to converse with my fellow citizens.

I'm watching the debate and the candidates have been asked about illegal immigration. What is interesting about this has been the reaction of the audience to this and the question about making English the official language of the US. The audience cheered enthusiastically for the Republican calls for an end to illegal immigration and support for making English the official language. Of course, this is in Miami so, I'm sure there are quite a few Cuban-Americans in the audience. Regarless, this is an issue of basic fairness and those who have come here legally are painfully aware of that fact. They outnumber illegals by a large margin so it is them we need to focus on, not the illegals.

This is tough. My ninth grade spanish is barely working. LOL.

Of course they turn the mikes down so the translator can speak so you can’t hear the candidates answers.

I’m only picking up a few words from each of them. I can already tell who (besides all of them) are pandering.

At least at one point Duncan said if you are here illegally you have to go home!

I understand the questions better than the answers.

They asked Romney about his illegal landscapers. Romney replied the employer made a mistake and that employers don’t have an adequate way of determining legality of workers.

They asked the candidates about the 14th amendment that makes babies born in the US citizens. Thompson talked about that being the law and not believing in chain migration, Romney basically agreed.

McCain looks like he is both saddened and disgusted, his usual look.

I think the audience must be mostly folks of Cuban heritage. This would have been completely different if they would have had an L.A. audience.

Thos proportions are correct:

Ron Paul was just booed soundly for saying that he would talk with Chavez and Castro. The audience didn’t like that answer one bit.
