Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

CNN News Flashed my iPad that Newt is denying is affair claim. I don't care CNN.

Newt has the biggest snake oil salesman characteristics. You don't get that insane/inhuman confidence from being honest and non scripted. He reminds of this ponzi scheme religious guy. I bet he's feeling smug with his $5M donation from Las Vegas Sand's Adelson. I wonder if Adelson would just freely drop that cash without wanting something in return...

On average, this is an age war:

Under 30 -> Ron Paul supporters who don't want the inflation tax
Over 50 -> Generally, morons who want to offer entitlements and are too stupid or don't care about younger generations

Every generation, on average, gets smarter.

The frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex, Santorum, appears surprisingly honest but he's still a nutjob

Mitt Romney is a war monger.

Obama bribes the poor to vote for him with entitlements/food stamps/appealing to black pride.

I still have not heard a rational choice beyond Ron Paul.

Crynos

So is Ron not allowed to talk? Hasn't got any time in forever. Does CNN know he's polling higher than Santorum?

turbolapp

Haven't heard Ron Paul since I tuned in 20 minutes ago. No surprise there.

Yuckystuff

I'm going to have to call shenanigans on that one. The youth today are about the dumbest group of motherfuckers this planet has ever produced. Just cuz they got Ipads and shit doesn't make them smart.

than_west

explain my CTR then

REIMktg

I am glad you did. I am tired of arguing with the WF Youth.

U MAD? There are exceptions like Ron Paul. I gave you a general answer.

Researchers have compared scores on so-called “intelligence” tests, particularly tests that measure how well test-takers answer abstract problems, of Americans today to the scores of Americans of who took similar tests decades ago. In general, contemporary Americans – and westerners in general – score higher than did people in the early- and mid-twentieth century. (For why I say “so-called ‘intelligence tests’,” see Chs. 2 & 3 of this.) Indeed, there have been “massive gains” in scores over the twentieth century. This increase has been called the “Flynn Effect” after the scholar who first noted it. The upward surge appears to have leveled off more recently, but the long-term change is dramatic. (For a sample of readings, see James Flynn’s book here, and these sources: here and here.) The score of the average American test-taker in 2000 would have qualified him or her as a “genius” a few generations earlier.


Just look at the numbers.

Obviously, correlation doesn't mean causation but I stand by my theory that the younger population gets it.

Old guys, generally, don't get why Ron Paul is the best choice.

Most humans are herd-like in behavior. Older people are generally more stubborn but I need science to support this.

Numbers don't lie.

why do I go to jail if I say lies in my LP, but they get given the reigns of the largest economy in the world?

Me no understand?

Any faith I had in RP to win gets diminished with every debate I watch. He isn't given time because he never talks about specific issues that people in that state want to hear about. Any time he's asked a specific question, his response is :

"Well we can fix that by transforming our governments philosophy and quit being the policemen of the world!!!"

He sounds like a broken record at this point.

You're right, but he's also right too.. the problem is, your average dumb fuck American doesn't understand much of what he says because it's not dumbed down and user-friendly.

for example, he'll say things like "liquidating debt" and "sound money", I'd bet 80% of people watching don't know what either of those phrases mean.

stickyicky

Maybe it'll actually sink in if he says it enough. Reform the monetary system, improve foreign relations through diplomacy and nonintervention, invest in your own people and infrastructure.

Haha I wonder how they would have responded to that 2 days ago.

yeah, he has the best views out of the candidates, but he just doesn't have the 'political' speaking techniques that the others have, particularly mitt romney. people will believe anything he says.

turbolapp

Less reason, Moar Soundbites.

DocApocalypto

ron paul flawless so far...great performance

i do kinda like newt being a dick to the media, everyone kisses their asses, its fun...what a dick though...lol

DocApocalypto

KILLING IT....just slaughtered santorum

mGrunin

Was great to see that the crowd actually wanted to hear Paul's input.

swiftclick

haha someone find a video clip of the crowd booing because ron paul didnt get a chance to answer the abortion question. epic

cougarclaws

hahaha Paul nutted on Santorum (do not MAKE A MENTAL PICTURE) on the abortion question. Also, great hearing the loud boos from the crowd when they tried to skip Paul on that question.

__________________

mGrunin

I feel that Paul is way to passive when it comes to getting a chance to speak. So many times I notice that when one of them finishes speaking, another tries to but in and show his point of view. Paul on the other hand simply waits off to the side for a question to be directly addresses to his name.

turbolapp

That was awesome. I paused it, removed my headphones, rewound it and called my husband in from the next room to watch the audience boo the host.

SUP3RNOVA

My thoughts on how each candidate performed:

Paul - typical, average performance. Not good for him.

Romney - bolstered support for the free enterprise movement despite being pretty well attacked about Romneycare. Good debate for him.

Santorum - he's actually doing well given the low amount of credibility/funding he's received. Tonight went well for him.

Newt - the crowd clearly liked him and he really got things started, but by the end of the debate I forgot his name. Average performance, no shot at the title.

Yeah the vote tomorrow is going to be extremely close.

swiftclick

highly disagree.

paul, although he was his same old self, actually got to answer some meaningful questions in regards to his campaign. im a bit biased but i would say he won the debate, with newt a close second.

I thought tonight was a huge disappointment for romney, the crowd really wasnt that into him, and a lot of voters may switch their vote after tonight.

santorum - why is this guy still running?


agreed

Yuckystuff

I've been watching the CNN post debate recap for 40+ minutes now and somehow they have managed to bring up:

Romney: 87 times
Gingrich: 82 times
Santorum: 76 times
Ron Paul: 0 times

They have literally avoided even saying his name. Nothing. Zero. I know I shouldn't be surprised at less coverage but holy fuck not a single mention?

than_west

call into cspan and let them know you are voting for lemonparty because ron paul doesnt exist

Yuckystuff

And there it is - 54 minutes into the discussion his name is briefly mentioned, then they go to commercial break.

lose lose win

that is a new extreme.. these fuckers are worried.

dreamache

I'd say only worried to the extent at which they would have to take measures to assassinate him.

jryan21

They've been like that with him since the whole thing with Dana Bash a couple weeks ago.

Vhaeos

Just started watching this debate.

I can't believe that Newt got a standing ovation immediately..
