What an amazing answer to the electability question. Unreal. Paul has balls of steel and in that answer, he showed that the other candidates are RINO's. Any honest person will acknowledge fuxnews obvious bias with this 'debate'.

Oh and FUFrank Duntz's focus group sez Ron Paul was the loser.. HAHAHAHHA I wonder who is going to win the fuxnews text poll? Idiots.
 
Ron Paul is the loser according to Fox news. Lol. You know what? I am proud to be a Ron Paul supporter. We are a small part of what's gone right in a country gone so wrong. See you in Iran next month everyone!
 
wow, none of the forum 'fauxbots' have showed up yet to bash Ron... the Gop diehards must still be licking their wounds - or waiting for their talking points....
 
I thought Thompson had a pretty strong showing. Romney got booed when he attempted to attack Paul which gave me a little hope for the party in general. My father called Huck's illegal immigration policy "No Immigrant Left Behind." Huck was pretty smooth and I was proud of his response when "attacked" for his religious beliefs. Rudy was the same old Rudy with the same old rhetoric. I don't think he said 9/11 once though. McCain really seemed to shine and if I wasn't concerned that he's been absorbed by the establishment, he'd be my second choice behind Dr. Paul.
 
I know it's like ingrained to auto-ignore everything associated with Fox News... but didn't RP get booed multiple times during the debate?

I heard a lot of applause for Paul. And I think he performed well tonight.

Licking what wounds? He's got no chance, just a proportionately tiny, very passionate army.

The applause I heard sounded small but loud, young and from the back of the room...which is to be expected. His best showing was definitely the electability question
 
Oh the Iranian threat. Fvck me. Some--a lot--of people will buy this silly sh*t, too and then they'll go and vote their stupid opinions on the rest of us.

How many times did people incite the memories of Regan, pretending that we'd all return to the halcyon days of that man-above-men who damn sear sat at the right hand of Christ?

It is certainly is NOT the first time Rudy has tried to put words in Paul's mouth during a debate.

Rudy is a f***ing scumbag. In fact, he's a plant by a psychological group studying the effects of putting a douche prick in front of the American people and seeing if they'll support somebody like that.

These guys are more about cliches than substance. Huckabee is taking flack for being a pragmatic governor and balancing the budget, which was his job, because it conflicts with GOP anti-tax complexes. It's sad.

You just don't get it. If you're republican you get to cut taxes and increase spending. It's a luxury that the dems don't have because those weaklings raise taxes to support their spending. That's why repubs are best, you get to burn the candle from both ends!
 
Anyone else see they are now using the label "democrat" towards Paul in order to sway republican votes away from him? Or am I just reading into it too much?

Yeah, Hannity tried to bait Romney into attacking Ron Paul by comparing him to the Democrats, but Mitt ducked the opportunity.

You could be right. Although a vote for him is a vote for democrat....he has zero chance of winning, and that's a vote taken away from someone who has a chance.
 
How about the piece coming from commercial showing flickabee talking to Paul but then not showing Paul's response? I expect this from fox though, so I shouldn't be surprised 😛

That makes no sense, this is a primary

You might also say Thompson and Giuliani have no chance...

It would seem you think many of the folks running don't have a chance.... So, who does have a chance?

Hell if I know, I'm not exactly thrilled about the Republican side. I do know that someone polling in low double digits has no chance.
