The 2012 FOX News South Carolina Republican Presidential Debate

[Marx]

It's the first national debate since the New Hampshire Primary! The debate takes place on January 16th in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and will air on FOX News at 9pm. Will you be watching?

(In keeping with the tradition of the 2008 election season...all debates, primaries, and caucuses will have their own threads to ensure that the political forum continues to run smoothly.)

Discuss.

 

[enterthemadness]

It's tomorrow!!!!

Dat Ron Paul.

do you really need to make a new thread for every one of these debates. ( I count 3 sitckies for South Carolina alone) Jesus they have 2 or 3 "debates" a week don't they? They're on more than a weekly tv series with the same people saying the same things. The nominee is Romney okay? It's always been Romney. This was decided long ago by the party bosses. They've already told the rest of the field to lay off him with the negative ads. It's a done deal. This is all just formalities at this point.
And no I won't watch it. It's always the same crap. Blah blah family values,,blah blah freedom...blah blah left wing socialists..blah blah cut taxes....blah blah too much regulation....

It's all lip service people. They aren't about to cut govt. They never have. Especially Republicans. They just talk about it. Just like the Dems never deliver on their big promises. (Although I will give them some credit for DADT and what little bit of the AHCA they got passed) The only people they work for are the super rich and you ain't one of them.

 

[enterthemadness]

.........I'm still gonna watch.

I am guessing this one will be boring, the CNN one later this week will probably be more entertaining

I'm guessing both of them will be boring.

Why does it matter how many threads or stickies there are? They keep things organized around here, its easy to find the discussion you want to be a part of.....so what's the big deal?

Romney was looking at Perry...like a "yeah, shut it".

 

[enterthemadness]

Snap, Paul likes fighting Santorum.

 

[enterthemadness]

Need more Paul time.

Santorum attacked Romney.

 

[bell110]

Romney took a beating from Santorum.

 

[Excel]

Romney took a beating from Santorum.

What? Romney made him look like a huge hypocrite. Santorum really went after him, but Romney called him out. "Ignoring personal beliefs to serve the state populations interests" explains why Santorum passed on the right to work bill, but DOESNT explain why Romney didnt push for a felon voting overhaul in MA?

Yes, that makes sense Rick.

 

[enterthemadness]

I sense Paul will get nearly no time...

 

[enterthemadness]

Paul schooled them all...

 

[Excel]

Gingrich with a strong answer

 

[Excel]

Newt is getting fiery.

Paul didn't school anyone, he came off as an unrealistic loon on foreign policy. He needs to go back to the 1800's and a policy of isolationism. Something I would be happy with, but I am reasonable, and realistic enough to know that we just can't live with that policy anymore. I love his passion, I love his desire to STOP WARS. But, realistically its not going to happen, it is impossible, and he needs to understand that....and someone should have gone after him on his policy for Afghanistan. YES, WE WERE ON THE SIDE OF THE TALIBAN DURING THE COLD WAR.....until we saw what Sharia law does to women.....Secretary Clinton should be outraged that we are even thinking about talking to these people. It is disgusting....

I would give anything to see a Gingrich vs. Obama debate.......won't happen, but would be very interesting.

Alot of passion tonight, the crowd was hysterical, good questions, pissed them off.....I love it. Juan may need security when he leaves.....be careful Juan, I want you to continue on Fox....lol

I don't see how his idea is any more unrealistic to solve our problems then going all Roman Empire on the world. All I know is at least Paul seems to care about America's best interest and not Israel's.

Or lining the pockets of bankers and weapons manufacturers...

I am gonna quote this in my sig...

Why can't we learn from the past? Why? It's like we want to fall like the Romans. This past weekend Paul at a rally dropped a bombshell about how the U.N and IMF are planning a global currency. This wasn't asked in the debate. Now please someone correct me on this but...

If America falls or it's dollar goes off the deep end--perhaps the samething--with the American dollar as the reserve currency of the world...a global currency would need to come out. Although I guess a current foreign currency could be the reserve.

 

[bell110]

Agreed, I don't see how having a more isolationist policy is unrealistic.

I am so glad to see Romney admit he would sign the NDAA bill, and expose himself as an anti-Constitutionist, anti-Liberty, anti-Bill of Rights Progressive. Thanks Mitt!

Another puppet for our corporate masters.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

NDAA finally hits the Republican debates a full month after it was pushed by a Republican congress. wtf?
