Ron Paul!

Thanks for the new thread

Iran now!

The big questions are coming up next. This should be good.

bwahaha

think this is going to be the Iran question coming up

IRAN!

Iran! Where's RealWest? -- I'd like to hear his response on this.

3000 centrifuges going now...

took a while NOT to be first, nothing good to say, except now that Fred is in, is Ron Paul OUT finally?

Ooooh Raaa! Way to go Britt on the cross-border thing

They let him in the Air Force?

We should taaalk to Iran.
Yeah.

Congress tells the President what national security is?!

He can't possibly believe this.

Oh, we have to talk to Iran.
Bravo Ron!

I can't hear him when he talks that high. What's he saying?

Talk to them...

Hey the UN says they are nice people

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE .

Ron Paul.
Wants to get along.
Please do . . . get along, Ron Paul.

re: #17 justadot

Congress tells the President what national security is?!

That's what I thought I heard. I thought I must have heard it wrong.
Is it me, or does this guy just make no sense whatsoever?

why is ron paul getting so much damn airtime? give me some duncan hunter, dammit!

How do you get along with Headchoppers?

Ron Paul makes my head hurt.

Oh dear, Ron goes first!

I see, Iran doesn't pose a threat, just like the Soviets didn't pose a threat. There are going to reveal all that they are doing.

Is this guy for real? Let's get along with people who hung 21 people for dressing funny today.

Israel can take care of itself.

What a maroon.

Nice one, TT.

Paul answers first on Iran. Let's be talking. Co-operating with the IAEA. Hugs all around. Followed by another crowd Paulgasm.

Ron. Paul.

Goddamn that is one crazy little man...

Israel should take care of itself by using its 2-300 nuclear weapons?

NEW NEW NEW
HELLO HELLO

Ron Paul- "Let's all sing kumbaya"

re: #25 reine.de.tout

NO, not just you… HE'S A LOON!

Tancredo going for inspiring insurgency

Political Correctness will get us all killed.
Good one.

Difference between Soviets and Radical Islam ... The Soviets actually cared about living and breathing ... Radical Islam does not "live for this world" ...

Political Correctness will get us all Killed

"political correctness is going to get us all killed."

Yes!

"Political Correctness is getting us killed!"

Political Correctness is going to get us all killed... great line

re: #39 song_and_dance_man

Political Correctness is going to get us all killed.

He's quoting me and many others here at LGF.

OK, which of you Tancredo's sock puppet?

Hunter is doing well.

Ron Paul ... what a tardmonkey!

To repeat what I said in the previous thread:

Leave Ron Paul off the "Who Won This" poll. Create at the same time a "Who Lost This" poll, and put Ron Paul in it.

Weapons grade material passed to terrorist groups...

That IS a threat!

re: #46 Thanos

Hunter is doing well.

as always... i wish he could get some traction.

Ok answer from Hunter

Big Question: Why is Fred Thompson holding back?

Hunter strike with precision Iran that is

re: #16 song_and_dance_man

Ron Paul

His cheeks look hallow, I wonder where he keeps his nuts.

Sounds like a few of them are in the audience tonight.

re: #52 me

He is getting better air time than official candidates :)

Wow. The Ron and Tom show would be the estrogen-charged end of our nation.

Who's Greg Brady?

Best TV I've seen in years with least crp per square inch.

all righty then... gotta hit the sack. it's getting late here EST.

//getting up to get the kiddos to school SUCKS!

Huckabee is dodging.. but really that's the thing to do here. A real president should never show their cards to the enemy.

re: #14 iChef

They let him in the Air Force?

It was the sixties.

re: #57 Noam Sayin'

re: #55 m

Where?

re: #31 Canadian Infidel

Paul answers first on Iran. Let's be talking. Co-operating with the IAEA. Hugs all around. Followed by another crowd Paulgasm.

You've misquoted L. Ron Paul you bastid! L. Ron said "A.I.E.A." followed some where along the way with E.I.E.I.O.

/L.Ron.Stealth.Fanboy

:-)

Is it just me, or does Brownback's voice sound a little sing-songy like Al Gore?

Decisions between Bad Option 1 and Terrible Option 2 and Wretched Option 3...

...it ain't between good and bad!

re: #57 Noam Sayin'

Who's Greg Brady?

A fictional character.

re: #59 blue_like_jazz

Night blue_like_jazz! And yes it does! It is better than the alternative though -- them not going to school :)

Yes Rudy! Single biggest sponsor of state terrorism

Yes RIGHT ANSWER

re: #70 song_and_dance_man

And he was reallly dreamy.

Good answer, Rudy.

Guiliani seems to be the most assured and articulate on Iran and nukes.

Go Rudy!

Talk to them with a thousand missiles pointed at them...nice

"Walk softly but carry a BIG stick!"

Ron Paul is spouting the John Birch Society talking points. I have seen their magazines and the message is one and the same.

Let's talk to a state run by a Holocaust denier and someone who has said he will wipe out Israel.

Good grief, where did this guy get his brains? From under a rock?

How does Ron Paul know the exact number of nukes in Israel when even most of Israeli officials don't know of any? What a douche bag

re: #66 Carridine

Amen Carridine, Amen

Can we PLEASE take up a collection to buy Ron "The Meerkat" Paul a one-way ticket to Tehran to talk to the imams and discuss his view of the world with them? I am sure they will be thoroughly entertained. I CAN'T TAKE HIM ON MY PLASMA ANYMORE!

re: #64 justacanuck

Good another Canuck interested in our best friends.

Nice answer. You talk with a thousand missiles pointing at them.

re: #57 Noam Sayin'

Who's Greg Brady?

A victim of a Milf.

"...Iran talks genocide... therefore do something else to STOP Iran..."

How come Ron Paul is considered defender of "traditional" conservative values? Isolationism has not been a conservative tradition since Teddy Roosevelt. He can't be THAT old.

Hmmm... how come you never see Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul in the same room?
I better go check my garden, I think a gnome is missing.

"Same page"
Don't think that is possible.

Good points, Mitt.

There is a term "jump the shark" Ron is all over that one.

Romney is giving the Kerry response... get international help

Possible strikes won't make them think twice. Actual airstrikes might.

re: #83 justacanuck

re: #57 Noam Sayin'

Who's Greg Brady?

A victim of a Milf.

Wrong. Victim of a Cougar.

Romney would rely a great deal on the kindness and rationality of our adversaries and enemies. Way, way too much.

re: 14

My thoughts exactly. It's find it kinda disconcerting that our proud military had/has people with this mentality among their ranks. And since when does Iran care about how many nuclear missiles Israel has, their leadership has the same mentality as a suicide bomber.

League of Democracies should replace the UN.

...but Iran doesn't ANSWER to the rest of the world... it answers to GOD!

Iran WANTS chaos!

re: #63 me

I see him on all kinds of stuff. He gets the solo airtime. His views on things, without fifty-eleven others cramming their schtick into a couple min slots apiece. Sounds like a good plan to me.

Has there been one candidate tonight who has wrapped it up in a timely fashion once the buzzer has rang?

re: #83 justacanuck

re: #57 Noam Sayin'

Who's Greg Brady?

A victim of a Milf.

Victim is not the word I would use here.

John McCain - "I am Ronald Reagan!"

McCain - "League of Democracies"

I like that.

TR wasn't isolationist. He was a hawk. I think you mean Harding.

LOL. Nuh Uh.

I must say --
The debate was interesting and entertaining.
Good questions.
Good answers.
Except . . . for Ron Paul.

re: #86 Da_Beerfreak

LOL -- Have you been receiving postcards from your missing gnome? From Iowa, New Hampshire, the moon, etc.?

I listened on XM Radio tonight in the car and after hearing Ron Paul for the first time, I've come to the conclusion that his a fucking kook idiot and an embarrassment to the Libertarian Party.

I guess it will make for good entertainment in the coming months.

McCain good answer...sorta

The debate ends...

"we will see you there"... AND I HOPE I WON'T SEE RON PAUL!

That debate was AWESOME!

It would be like mixing an idiot and an antimatter idiot.

McCain's last answers there sounded like he was sleepy. He could have phoned in that response.

I wonder if Fred will find time in his busy, busy schedule to make the next debate ... or if he will be booked on Letterman or The View or some such ...

Should we go to FoxNews and vote for Ron Paul?

re: #112 ChenZhen

Who'd you like the best?

Where's our poll?

McCain did well. Giuliani did well.

re: #112 ChenZhen

That debate was AWESOME!

Entertaining for sure. Not awesome.

I missed part of it. Did Ron Paul want to eliminate the Postal Service as well?

re: #121 Canadian Infidel

Ron Paul!

re: #112 ChenZhen

That debate was AWESOME!

And now you see why the Dems won't debate on Fox.

I hope Fox News' straw-poll has a mechanism in place to detect and filter-out Ron Paul vote-packing...

Yes.

Honestly, this is the first of these I've watched, and I had never seen Nor Laup in action before for this long. What a complete idiot -- no really. He's a throwback to the "America First" crowd, to the extent he isn't just another liberal bedwetter.

re: #126 PatrioticNaturalizedAmerican

I think he wants the postal department to pack heat.

Poll at NH diner: 29 of 29 unhappy with politicians.

McCain was winner?

RON PAUL IS ONE THEM.

Actually, you know, I would love to have seen him on "Fishing With John"...

re: #126 PatrioticNaturalizedAmerican

He eliminated the Postal Service right after the Interstate Highway System.
/sarc

Ron Paul will immediately move to eliminate Ron Paul!

Missed most of this due to my inability to find the link (me:dork) and some sketchy streaming. I hope that someone will post the whole thing somewhere on the web.

Yea I'l admit Fox did a good job with that one. I got goosebumps when Paul and Huckabee were going at it. It finally was like a real debate.

re: #64 justacanuck

Nice answer. You talk with a thousand missiles pointing at them.

Gotta let our Merican friends know it's not all doltish leftards up here. Of course they wouldn't know that if their only source of Canuck news was CBC or the traitorous CBC Newsworld.

McCain may have resurrected his campaign. There are exactly two people in this field that I trust with an active forward leaning approach to the Muslim Fascists, and he is one.

re: #108 Austin Conservative

A whole lot of Republicans, and a whole lot of younger (45 and below) Americans lean very heavily libertarian ideologically. The problem is, that the Libertarian party always seems to run a bunch of damn kooks, so they never get anywhere.

re: #141 Jheka

Hysterical!

Where is the poll? I want to vote for my favorite candidate Ron Paul #4.

Ron Paul deserves the Mr. Peanut award.

Juliani waffled?!?!?!? What?!?!?!?

re: #139 song_and_dance_man

Give Ron Paul three buttons.

LOL ! Yuh sure, keep the Paulites happy.

Ahem !

Yep, though frankly Chris Wallace and Brit Hume got in some of the better jabs. I might vote for Chris.

Include Ron Paul in the survey but with an "Anyone but Ron Paul" option.

This is one of the reasons I like having you around, Chen. You're honest, whether it fits your normal side of things or not. Also, you've stuck around for a long time.

That, I could vote for. Penn's an atheist, but he's also a true libertarian, and doesn't have a problem with me being a Christian, so long as I don't try to cut his head off. He seems like a really nice guy, too.

re: #156 PatrioticNaturalizedAmerican

Yes. If that won't happen :
Any candidates who will cut all "social" programs, stop the disgusting legislation of morality, double the defense budget and eliminate all muslim immigration?

re: #81 rightwingva

Can we PLEASE take up a collection to buy Ron "The Meerkat" Paul

HEY, dont insult Meerkats like that! Ron "I am as looney as daffy duck" Paul!
Is this the guy I have read about from these "tinfoil hat" people...man what a wacko!

My 2 bits: Rudy was a little too talkative. And I have to say, I really am not all that concerned about New York City being the equal of the entire United States. I do still believe that he is the strongest on foreign policy and knows who the real enemy is.

Mitt is just a little too slick for my tastes. I love John McCain for the honorable man I believe him to be; however, I also believe he is a little too "squishy" in his approach to foreign policy.

I also wish that at least one of them had answered the scenario question when Israel was added into the equation. My view, tell Israel that we have their backs.

Anyone post that Fred anounced?

/Shocka!

I think it would be great if Ron Paul ran as an independent. It would only serve to take moonbats away from serious candidates. As the moonbats would be likely to vote Dem, no loss there. Has the man ever studied American History!

re: #175 NY Nana

Anyone post that Fred anounced?

/Shocka!

But thats why they were taking potshots at him> It may have some to do with his refusal to be one of the sheep jockying about in this unneeded pre-season political chest puffing ritual (come on, just because the lemming-like liberal loons are doing it, it does not mean its needed!) . That has him getting my respect. Not my vote at his point, but my respect.

Fred wants to be, but can't be Reagan. His stint on Law and Order was really good, but he's no George Gipp.

I like Paul's ideas... but he is a kook... Tancredo is good on one issue. Guiliani might as well be a Dem (Brady bill... yeah... great), Romney... presents well, but I am not sure he is truthful/consistent. They are all pretty worthless when it comes to "upholding the constitution".

Anyone who votes for Ron Paul should get a sign. The idea that he has a clue about the founders is preposterous. The sign should read "Is your village missing its idiot".

re: #180 noodle213

LOL... agreed... the guy has a "good" idea about how some things apply to the Constitution... but has no clue how the US is going to continue long term... certainly not by being completely isolationists... not by eliminating intelligence agencies...

Ron Paul makes me puke... Sorry but he does really make me puke every time I hear him.

WOW!

The candidates are all either totally disingenuous or total kooks. Can we PLEASE have a candidate who is all together sincere, understands modern "conservative" principles, has a wealth of intellgence and knowledge and wisdom, and has talents of both communication and leadership ACTUALLY RUN FOR PRESIDENT?

Only Ron Paul, Hunter, and Tancredo refused to pander (except on the first question) to the various US voter constituencies. They have nothing to lose because they are generally considered second-tier kooks. The "front runners" made me sick with their totally squishy answers.

Say what you believe and beieve what you say. Let the voters decide based on transparent answers to the questions.

THAT is the way to run. If the voters agree with you, then they will vote for you. If not, then accept that they will vote for another candidate.

Give people a clear, honest choice. In doing so, we will have another Reagan/Carter or Reagan/Dukakis general election.

Seriously though, if Iran is an existential threat to Israel, why shouldn't it be Israel that attacks Iran? Why must it be the US?

Doesn't the US taxpayer "give" billions for Israel's defense every year? And hasn't that been the case for, like, for the last 30 years or so?

Israel has nukes. Iran currently doesn't. If Israel thinks Iran will nuke them the moment they develop nukes, Israel should really do something about that, and soon. But not the US.

The US military bombed Christians in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s. The crisis in Yugoslavia wasn't a direct threat to us, but we did it anyway, because the Europeans were too weak and pussy to deal with it themselves. And what sort of thanks do we get? The Europeans hate us, the Serbians hate us, and the Muslims hate us.

Not exactly a good return on investment, eh?

McCain Won.

re: #184 RJ77

Because if Israel is hit by a nuclear weapon, it doesn't have a chance to hit back. The land is just too small. One Nuke would take out the whole Country.

Are you saying, [Mr. Paul], that we should take our marching orders from al Qeada?

#187:

I believe that's Israel's problem, not ours.

Anyway, it's not even true. Iran, maybe three years from now, might be able to launch on strike on a single city in Israel that will kill thousands. Maybe tens of thousands. But it won't destroy the entire country. And the Israelis, in response, will be able to devastate most of Iran's major cities with their nukes, launched from submarines in the Mediterranean Sea.

after watching the replay (darts started 2nite) ron paul looks like a fool, and giuliani looks like our next president.

McCain is the next vp.

re: #185 RJ77

First of all, the US does not "give" Israel billions. Those are loans, that must be spent in the US and US firms. In almost every case, Israel buys military equipment, which it frequently improves and gives the improvements free of charge to the US.
The list of useful and important items shared with the US and the world is outstanding, cell phones, laptop computer chips, numerous medical advances, the list is huge.
What does the US get for the billions it gives to Egypt, Pakistan, etc.
Not so much as a thank you. Egypt takes the money and military equip and plans for war with Israel.
go figure

re: #191 cybermonk

Can you name one thing that islam has contributed to civilization?

I can. It was because of islam that prompted the Europeans to find an alternate route the China (instead of travelling through muslim occupied lands), whereby discovering the New World.

Also: #187 RJ77

Do u think that by bombing the Christains in the former Yugoslavia, Clinton wasn't pandering to the muslim arabs to move on his middle east initiative?

My prediction is Isreal will be forced to bomb iran. I just hope the new USA president has the determination to join in and rid the world of the mullah theocracy.

Let me know if you think otherwise. I'm not up to snuff on the Yugo thing; so I apologize if I'm hazy on this topic.
My 2 cents.
