CNN Republican debate

[mysticjbyrd]

Yeah, that's kind of what terrorist over here have been doing.

It's so minor that it hardly matters. Our current screening process is good enough. We could save more lives a million different ways.

 

[ivwshane]

Yeah, kinda like regulating the very thing that gave us our freedom. Regulating the freedom of speech. Regulating the freedom of religion. Regulating the freedom to choose who you do business with. Eliminating capitalism and small government to enact socialism and handouts.

Achieve your socialist utopia, counter to everything this country was founded upon.

You mean like your boy trump wants to do by shutting down the Internet and killing non enemy combatants?

You aren't as principled as you think.

I'm aware of that but I had to explain to the idiot what a terrorist is and who they typically attack.

I have no problem going a little Hammurabi's Code on terrorists.

 

[Moonbeam]

That debate should have been held in a mental institution and nobody who took part should ever be allowed back out. I'm going to bomb the shit out of them. I'm going to make the sand glow. I will made the bodies bounce twice before they rot. Psychos.

 

[sportage]

So, they all want to "take back our country"?
Back to 3000 troops dying in the middle east?
Back to $4.50 gas?
Back to double digit unemployment?

What is truly sad, we are suppose to take any of this crap seroiusly.
We are expected to accept this as worthy of an intelligent adult.
This is like some third grade ritalin deficient school kids playing presidential debate.
Has our country really become this ignorant?

Hello America. Is there an adult available to answer the phone?

These republican debates are sad enough.
But then the media tries to convince us this is all we have to work with???
That any of this nonsense is worthy of serious analysis?
God... I thought we went to school to be educated into adults, not mentally challenged by three year olds.
I must be dreaming.

Of course you would but that's because the constitution and the people it protects is only important to you some of the time.

 

[LegendKiller]

Of course you would but that's because the constitution and the people it protects is only important to you some of the time.

Last I checked, the Constitution doesn't inhibit us from making war upon foreign individuals when they make war upon us.

Yeah. Notice how the counter to my last statement was simply another attack, of course calling me a 'socialist'. I assume he means far left. Well I'm mostly a bit left of center, though the guess that appears 'way the hell off on the left' when he is as far right as the scale goes.

And what families are doing that? Families does not equal combatants/direct supporters!

No but the treaty we signed on to does.

 

[Vic]

Yeah, he's the best candidate for lazy fucks who want everything handed to them.

How much do those new aircraft carriers cost? How far overbudget is the F-35? Who's really getting 'free stuff' in this country?

 

[crashtech]

So, they all want to "take back our country"?...
Back to $4.50 gas?...

So Obama has encouraged fossil fuel consumption by using his magical power to drive down the global market price of oil? His anti-CO2 allies must love him for this! Are you sure you consider yourself an adult purveyor of factual info?

 

[BxgJ]

And if it hasn't been mentioned, Trump seems to complain about every network being unfair to him. If he can't handle CNN mods, how the hell can he handle the presidency?

 

[Vic]

Jesus, it was amazing. It looked like they were campaigning for President of a bunch of terrified babies. I knew Republicans have enlarged amygdalas that make them easily frightened, but these donkeys were running for President of the United States of Cowards. "Vote for me. I will keep you safe."

It sickens me. The party of so-called small government patriots are a bunch of pussies who want to give up every freedom and right we enjoy so that government can keep them 'safe' from the phantom menace of terrorism.

Trump is probably thinking:

If they are not all destroyed, it will be civil war without end. First, I want you to go to the Jedi Temple minority muslim mexican areas. We will catch them off balance. Do what must be done, Lord Vader my supporters. Do not hesitate. Show no mercy. Only then will you be strong enough with the Dark Side to save Padmé America.

No but the treaty we signed on to does.

What treaty did we sign that said we are inhibited from making war on people that make war on us?

 

[Subyman]

Surprised they weren't pissing their pants up there. So much fear. Loved when Jeb was poking Trump. They need to do more of that. He will explode. Trump is so polarizing himself. He either loves you as the "finest man on Earth" or you are a maniac. OR you are both within a 3 day span lol.

 

[ivwshane]

What treaty did we sign that said we are inhibited from making war on people that make war on us?

So families are now enemy combatants? Holy fuck you people are retarded!

 

[Subyman]

What treaty did we sign that said we are inhibited from making war on people that make war on us?

That is not the argument.

 

[Subyman]

So families are now enemy combatants? Holy fuck you people are retarded!

It is appalling to hear an American presidential candidate saying the things Trump is. Actively targeting innocent relatives is evil and I hardly ever use that word.

 

[crashtech]

Yeah, it's all about the children.

 

[JEDIYoda]

That is a true statement! But your other diatribe is brainless banter!

 

[JEDIYoda]

Umm actually you have not even read the treaty........

What gets me is people think Trump owned Bush, but it really was the other way around. Bush challenged him several times on several things that Trump said. You could see it on Trumps face that he was cornered and he deflected by whining about the CNN mods and saying how big of a lead he has and how bad Bush is doing in the polls. People just ate that shit up. Bush did the right thing and challenged Trump on his bullshit, and Trump didn't have an answer. In a real debate that means Bush won the point, not Trump.

This stuff works on your average dumb American, which there seems to be a lot of. But someone like me who sits back and studies the language used, mannerisms, and the intellectually dishonest tactics they all use, I don't fall for that crap and I see right through it. It seems like people today don't want to analyze anything. For instance, Carly Fiorina attacked Trump because Trump had an idea similar to Obama. Fiorina does this because she knows that voters are dumb. She didn't even attempt to break down and give an analysis on why Trump is wrong. The point I'm trying to make is that even if you detest Obama as a president, that doesn't mean you can't agree with Obama on some issues. So trying to draw the conclusion that Trump is like Obama is just another dirty tactic coming for a person who minutes later was bitching that they needed to stop attacking each other and dividing people.

I can't be the only person that notices this crap, yet the news doesn't talk about it and people dont talk about it. We really need to change the debate formula. What they do now doesn't really let them get to the bottom of the issues. Also I think it would be neat if they included people who are skilled at debates and knowledgeable about a range of subjects to get up there to challenge them and keep them honest. Can you imagine someone like Christopher Hitchens sitting up there along side them and eviscerating them to shreds. We need more debates with a small bunch of candidates, 3 or 4 max. They can mix and match between the different locations so everybody gets a shot at thier opponent.
