Santorum just owned Romney over his healthcare shit. The more they tear each other up is better for rp, good shit.

edit: It's surprising how much Newt licks ron paul's balls.

RP is being feisty tonight with his jokes and jabs. I like the challenge to the other 3 to a fucking bike marathon. Lol, Newts fat ass would have a fucking heart attack.

lol @ Gingrich saying he would go to god when faced with difficult decisions as a president... I guess he got some bad advice from God when he decided to cheat on 32 wives?

The debate condensed into a one line per candidate:

Newt Gingrich: Hates the media, loves the idea of colonizing the moon.
Mitt Romney: New debate coach told him to be aggressive so he did and hit Newt hard.
Rick Santorum: Called out lies when he saw them, stuck to his religulous views about everything else.
Ron Paul: Took stand up comedy classes last weekend, was funny and memorable while avoided any questions on nukes or Iran.

That was a great answer from RP with regards to the Religious question(That's a hard one to navigate with the GOP). He even got claps in the middle instead of the end like everyone else.

The rest of the answers were utter shit. If I were a Christian I would be offended by their obvious ploy by USING my religion just to get elected. Why can't be people freakin see that???

Is Ron Paul the first presidential candidate ever to bluntly say religion would not play any role in his decisions as president?

Hey so do I, I just don't think government needs to do it. Newt said something about making a moon base a state (???) - we can't do this. The moon is independent and can't be conquered or colonized for any one nation based on UN convention (if you think we should follow it).

Mitt was a bit off base when he said there's no commercial reason to be there, which is false. Tourism, and the Moon is a major source of Helium-3, which has potential in fusion energy.

I always felt that deep inside Romney and Perry and maybe Newt love Ron Paul, they always look at him like they have a man crush! It's hard not to like RP. lol

SO ANYWAYS... Anyone think that WHEN Newt bows out, there is a chance he'll throw his support to Paul? This debate would seem to indicate so.

i wish but i don't think so.

i personally feel that if any of those guys endorse RP it's looked at as "Bad Politics"

on a side note does anyone else LOL when RP just fumbles over his words, or stops talking when someone interrupts him haha. It's kinda hard to watch and i wish he was more assertive, but there are so many times when he just does not finish is complete thought because the crowd starts cheering or the moderator cuts him off

He really is terrible at public speaking. He'll start a thought and then completely start a new sentence without finishing the last.

I watched part of the debate with my family last night. After one of RPs answers about economics, my mom: "To be honest I don't even understand what he just said."

my sister: "Is that Ron Paul? Oh my God he looks like a little old man that's about to die!"

And that's America, folks.

Fixed that for you bros.
========================
Newt has turned his back on the establishment of the GOP, we don't want him; as one of the Romney interns I met last week put it, "Newt is popular because he's what stupid people think a smart guy sounds like.". That said, he's not going to endorse Romney when he loses. Chances are he'll end up back where he was when he was ousted from the House.

The GOP WILL NOT LET GINGRICH WIN, AS IT WILL BE A DECISIVE OBAMA VICTORY IF HE DID. Do I see him giving Paul his endorsement? Not likely, it's more likely that he'll endorse Santorum (if he's still around) or at best he'll just endorse Reagan Conservatism.

He's rubbed too many people the wrong way.

Another person asked if Paul's the only one to say that he'll keep his religion where it belongs... No, Romney has said the same thing but unlike Paul he didn't have the choice to use his faith as an asset.

While Ron Paul most likely won't win (and I don't think he should-personally, but that's beside the point); what he is doing is bringing his narrative to the forefront for future elections with other Libertarians, like his son. So all of you Paulites? Don't worry you'll get your shot once we get rid of the xenophobic/do nothing faction that the Tea Party turned into.

When Romney crushes Gingrich I urge all of you guys who support Paul to get behind Romney against Obama, the last thing the Republican party and America needs is a Republican Nader incident.

I'll be attending the RNC (as a delegate) in Tampa in August if any of you want to meet up.

- Danke

EDIT: For the record, I've listened in on one conference call where McCain was literally scathing for how Gingrich has decided to attack Romney for being wealthy. There are lines and lines of guys he used to work with that just DON'T LIKE HIM.

What's up with this moon thing? who the hell advised him to say that?
insane idea at these times.

leadsupplier

It is America. The majority of ppl that watch the debates don't care about what a politician says, it's all about who they view as "Winning" the debate. That's who they're gunna vote for.

It sucks but i'd say most people, especially ppl our parents age will look at RP, hear him speak, hear a rebuttle from another candidate about how wrong RP is, and then they'll say, "Yea that guys a quack, I can't vote for him"

Then they go vote for Rom-dawg. Who btw is an INSANELY well spoken speaker. When him and Newt were going back and forth, Roms was crushing it and articulating every thought in an amazing way. If only RP was like that ... damn

Yeah, I had this little mini epiphany in one of the last debates thread. It was the moment I realized he would never be president if he doesn't start dumbing down his answers for the rest of America and start adding some witty soundbites.

WHICH btw he had one last night that was pretty good to which he could tidy up and use in the future, something like: "I want us to stop worrying about the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan and start worrying about our own border."

I think he showed last night that he can actually play politics without compromising any of his principles. He just needs some more campaign help to fine tune it.

clear

Joke right? Romney and Obama, just like Republican and Democrat are different wings of the same bird. Sorry not many of us RP followers can vote for that.

dtea206

I am predicting a Gingrich nomination, as much as I hate to say it. Republicans are purposely self destructing and Obama wins again in 2012.

JakeStratham

A Gingrinch administration would be frightening. A few chuckles...

I wish this fit on a bumper sticker.

You've got to be fucking kidding. First of all, Romney is no different than Obama. At least if Obama gets reelected, it's for 4 years, whereas we'd probably have to deal with Mitt for 8 years.

By the way, the Republican Party needs a Nader incident, maybe it will wake them up and bring them to a more Libertarian agenda because right now both parties are completely fucked.

Not that any of this really matters of course, because in the end it's all just the illusion of choice.

lukep

Orly? Why is that, may I ask?


TROLOLOLOL.... If you knew what Paul stood for you'd have no ability to say that. Our cause is against the establishment and Mitt is now even MORE the estatblishment than Obama is. May I present to you his current campaign contributors:



They look a lot like Obama's did in 2008! (Even more than Obamas' do now.)

So basically, if you vote for Romney in 2012, you literally have just voted for 8 more years of what you just got with Obama!


Why is that? Frankly it might wake some of these fools up enough to vote libertarian next time, and the alternatives could be much worse.

As a Canadian looking in, the debate was quite entertaining. I'm not a fan of Canadian politics, but I love American politics. It is quite the spectacle. Even the venue for the Florida debate was 1000 times better than any Canadian debate I have seen.

Anyway, on to the point, it looks clearly like it is between Romney and Newt. RP and Santorum had less than 50% of the talking time the other two had. Personally I like RP, but he is just too old to be elected. In 8 years he will be what, 84? Any questionable decision he makes during his tenure will spark the controversy he is going senile. Santorum is clearly a smart guy, but he is not as aggressive as the other two. So it's between Newt and Romney. Newt is fat so Romney will win. Queue another 4 years for Obama...

dreamache

RP is 76, he'll be 80 in 4 years. Newt said himself last night that RP is definitely healthy and fit enough to be president. And RP challenged them all to a bike race, and you know what, I bet he wouldn't come in last. He's as healthy as they come at that age.

ly2 from WF

I'd suck my own cock before I'd vote for that fucking piece of shit. Fuck Romney, I'd rather have Obama. At least Obama admits to being a liberal faggot.

Ronald Reagan was president at 77. I doubt a few years older would have made much difference. And who said he has to serve for two terms? I think the main goal is to get people in the mindset to elect Rand Paul as president after him anyway.

Santorum bases everything on religion. How does that have anything to do with being smart?

Paper_Chase

Yea no doubt in MY mind that RP is healthy. I'm just talking from the point of view of the average american. Who cares how old he is in 4 years? Isn't the whole point of becoming president is to rock it for both terms so you can actually get shit done. I wonder how the majority of the US will feel with an 84 year old geezer calling the shots? America's enemies will see it as weakness.

And yea, Palestinian guy got owned hard. I thought Newt's statement was pretty fucking ballsy to move the embassy to Israel. That's the only thing he said all night I agreed with.

Paper_Chase

Smart is relative. He looked good against Newt and Romney calling them on their shit. At least Santorum didn't caught with his pants down on any talking points.
