ABC Republican Debate

[F3d]

There's probably a full youtube video somewhere but here's Paul's responses. Funniest debate so far.

One of the best parts about it was how Paul called them out on their belief in following the Constitution. Also, the moderator said everyone flip-flopped except Paul. All of them looked like a bunch of morons except Paul. Who can vote for these jokers. You'll notice something funny about McCain when watching this. Paul remained silent through most of it while they teared each other apart.

If he doesn't win NH, I promise I'll be gone.

Ron Paul should have beenin the Democrat debate. He doesn't belong in the Republican party.

Huck won it hands down. Old man McCain and Romney were too busy sniping at one another. Thompson and Paul need to get out of the way.

The only thing that Paul agrees on with the Democrats is Iraq. The Republicans have been taking Paul's talking points in the debates recently. Funny how Huckabee says he's a 10th Amendment guy. Sure you are. Good thing Paul called them on that.

Let's face it....

Romney -- Deep down, he's a RINO and as bad as Giuliani. Say hello to more restrictions andgun laws.
Giuliani -- A 1st class RINO if there ever was one. [:'(]
McCain -- A good guy who has tons of respect, but appears way too old to reach the "college crowd".
Paul -- A nut-job, plain and simple. He has mega-bucks, but nothing to show for it (2% in the polls).
Thompson -- A good guy but needs to take the election seriously. WAKE UP!!!
Hunter -- Who? Um, Duncan Hunter should just get out now and save himself...

Huckabee -- The clear choice. Honest, sincere, he's a "regular guy" who says what he means and means what he says. A tad weak on foreign affairs - but with a strong running mate, it will balance out. Huckabee also rocks out on bass guitar, and that scores major points with the "dude" crowd. Edit: Not only that... Huckabee IS a hunter, firearm owner, and holds a CWP! [8D]

And that's not an issue with you? It should be!

Republicans have ran on this platforum before. The only thing that they're not too enthused about is sending ALL of our troops home. Like Paul, I don't see how having troops over in Europe, Korea, and ***an helps our national security. Europe can defend themselves.

I flipped between the game and the debate.

I thought Thompson did a good job.

Loved McCains jab at Romney,infact everyone was taking jabs at Romney.

All of them looked like a bunch of morons except Paul

did you watch the debate at all?

Paul remained silent through most of it while they teared each other apart.

Exactly Paul did and said allmost nothing and had a deer in the head lights look when asked questions.

LOL, are you serious? If you had read your history and taken a look around the worldtoday, you'd understand that Europe and ***an can't defend themselves. They've never had a reason to--we've been there with all our might since 1945. That was whole idea. Keep our former enemies militarily weak so they don't try anything against us, but protect them in order to foster the rise of democratic governments and societies. If we were to pull out today, both the EU and ***an would be terribly vulnerable.

North Korea has nukes. South Korea has a formiddable military that is superior to the North in both training and weapons, but the Korean War is still going on. We can't back out without some kind of resolution to the conflict.

All of that aside, though, maintaining an international presence militarily not only keeps our armed foes in check, but protects our global commerce and trade as well. If we were to pull out of Europe, we'd be handing the Russian Federation the keys to the continent. And if we were to leave South Korea and ***an, the western Pacific Rim would fall into China's hands.

The world is a pretty big place. Even with modern communication, diplomacy, and arms, we can't run things from Washington alone.
