Wow, does McCain suck or what? The guy needs to hang up his hat for real.

Note that the 24-like interrogation/etc style is basically the Clinton/Gore approach.
 
Comparing Iraq to Vietnam.. brings up the question, why did we let it happen again in the first place then? I don't think Paul answered very well there. There is a difference!
 
Dammit, that's going to hurt Paul, saying that the terrorists come over here because we interfere there.

That's going to really hurt on the Republican ticket, even though it's true.

Errr he has been saying that since the start. It's what put him on the map in the first debate.

Meh he's said it before.

I don't think he is as sharp though tonight verbally for some reason.

it's the way it's phrased, it's a bad soundbite view:P

And yeah, I don't think he's used to actually being under attack and not quite as persuasive as he usually is, not a very good debate for him, but at least he's doing better than Mitt.:lol
 
Ron Paul is 100% correct. Al-Qaeda turned its attention to the US because of the Gulf War. That's why the first attack on American soil took place in 1993. It was because it was in response to the US bases in Saudi Arabia. I'm not sure just removing the forces would help now, but that was the reason.

Tancredo should quit. The guy is a bigot.

I agree he's a bigot, but I will say at least he gives the xenophobes a voice. What I wonder is what constituency Duncan Hunter is representing. Exactly what does he really add to the debate?

He didn't quite word it right to please the crowd but he is always going to get boo'd for his bring our troops home stance.


To be honest I think this has been a pretty liberal crowd for Republicans. They've booed a lot of the war hawk talk from Mccain and been supportive of Paul despite a so so performance.

I don't know, but when he says things like, "I used to walk behind my dad picking up shells while he hunted quail" or "I got my gun license when I was 10", I think his voters' demographic shrinks by the comment.
 
Wtf at this stupid guy.

"He keeps calling Anderson Cooper; Cooper... Errr...... Just thought I'd mention that...ktnxbye..."

I agree with what you said about them attacking us. It is in the Koran after all.

I'm not sure just removing the forces would help now

But this is the more important part. And I don't think it will

It's Florida, we're actually generally more fiscal conservatives here, not really the hawk contingent.

Guns and Military are good, but in self-defense, not overseas, immigration is good, everything else we could give a flip about:P

I think the main reason there's not a big hawk contingent here is that we are a heavy military state and we don't like them going over to get shot:)

I really just think Paul's supporters are the loudest...
