Re; Map- Ron Paul won?
GAWD!
I thought America had wised up.
I wasn’t too impressed by any of them.
Re; Ron Paul- anybody who says drugs and prostitution should be legalized..that eliminates them right there in my book.
I’m with you. I would pick Santorum or Cain as the winners tonight.
Biden is no Obama when it comes to debating.
Santorum did well. I liked his pro-life message and his stand against unconstitutional mandates. He went up a few notches for me.
Ron Paul always has rabid phone bankers calling into any polls. I would look at the person who comes in second as the winner as that is the true front runner.
He has my support. I will show him that tomorrow. It is not a video game to me. He is most qualified to take down the magic man in a head on head debate.
So, improving debating skills is a waste of time for any candidate going up against Obama. Okay.
I disagree.
“No, only RP. Why do so many of your drink his kool-aid is beyond me. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile...our nut just happened to be on stage!”
All I know is we are broke, and extremely in debt. We cannot save the world, at least now. We can no longer afford to “spread freedom” to the world, especially when it requires war.
The 911 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. None were from Iraq nor Afghanistan. None of them learned to fly jetliners in either country. Most learned to fly in the USA.
Today, muslims still receive preference in visas and immigration to the USA. Bush said they were a “religion of peace.” Obama honors Ramadan, and sings their praises.
Find me a quote where Ron Paul says Islam is a “religion of peace.” Then find me an incident where Ron Paul honors Ramadan. If you can, then you will have an argument for which I can agree with you.
Til then, you got nothin but kool aid spewed all over your keyboard.
Indeed he is. He showed us tonight that is is a seasoned professional politician, unfortunately he’s part of the establishment and part of the problem. Now don’t get me wrong, I will vote for anyone that can get that Marxist Kenyan out. I won’t like it but I will not sit home. Sitting home is the same as voting for the Marxist Muslim Kenyan usurper.
“Huntsman asked about cyberwarfare. Talks up his China bona fides.”
I’d take Trump’s China bonafides over Huntsman’s any day. DT at least loves America and says China’s our enemy (which it is). JH would be just as happy if we were all speaking Chinese.
I didn’t think Obama was all that in the debates.
It’s very easy to look good when W was at 27% approval, when 65% disapprove of Iraq, when you have 450 million more dollars than you’re opponent, when the media is 1000% behind you, etc...
Any democrat would have won in 2008 and any republican would have lost.
Things will be very different next year.
They ignore him because he frightens them. he takes on Obummer in a big way, far more than anyone else. He gets down and dirty and Fox no likey that.
Don't need to. His supporters already told me that in these forums. You show me a supporter and I'll show you the candidate.
Ron Paul?
No thanks. He's nothing but a libertarian Ralph Nader.
I agree with you, but it was way back at the first commercial. Santorum was right on every answer he was ALLOWED to give, and in MY opinion, the only REAL Conservative on the stage.
“He’s saying safe things but there’s something that I can’t square with him.”
Well, the fact that he was a BHO appointee should be enough. He’s an obvious NWO guy as well.

So, standing in a landfill in a tutu with a Carmen Miranda headgear will make you win. Okay.
IOW, your paraphrase of my post is bogus. However, your headgear is marvelous.
