Republican Debate

[lord o kelly]

I just wanted to post this, it's the live stream from CNN of the Republican debate.

What do you think of the Candidates and their answers?

So far it seems like they are trying to present a united front against against Obama without attacking each other.

I would also like to make a public Lol at Bachman talking to the tevision screen instead of at a camera or the presenter, looks so awkward.

[berriez]

It's so retarded. I lost intelligence watching this.

Viewer Question: How would you bring back manufacturing to America?

Pawlenty: Repeal Obamacare

Bachman: Have the lowest tax rate in the industrialized world. Oh, and get rid of the EPA because its the #1 job killer in America.

[Stark of Winterfell]

I find myself disagreeing with Bachmann more than I thought possible. Especially the "Republicans will 100% win" and the EPA remark.

Also, did anyone else notice how none of them, including the host really addressed the question on whether or not the Tea Party might be too extreme for moderate voters?

-_-

Good god. Such ignorance.

[Rex Germanius]

This was organised by Democrats to gain votes.

[Stark of Winterfell]

There goes Newt-if the money had been spent on NASA we'd have permanent moon and space outposts due to the evil poor bureaucracy. Also, the US isn't a developed country. So much private sector worship. It's not the cure to all the world's ills.

[(s)AINT]

wait a minute when the did bachmann start campaigning for president? LOL

[lord o kelly]

I honestly hate Bachman, just ing talking points and a screechy voice. She's an idiot.

all i hear is "gov't sucks, gov't evil, private sector good"

Never has the PJ O'Rourke quote being truer The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it. At least that is what will happen if any of the current bunch manages to get elected.

All I can say to Mr. Cain is 'That's Racist.'

At least they're doing what they say.

Honestly I have no hope left for society. We once again have the choice between evil and idiocy. The magnitudes just get worse every election.

I'll take the list and arrange it as follows, with apologies to lord o'kelly:

1- Herman Cain
2- Newt Gingrich
3- Ron Paul
4- Mitt Romney
5- Michelle Bachmann
6- Tim Pawlenty
7- Rick Santorum

Please note that the above list has nothing to do with how I intend to vote, or how I think the Primaries-2012 will turn out. My list is based solely upon the performance of the candidates, and the quality of their answers.

Ron Paul was a problem for me, because I have such previous experience with him and his supporters. However, he was very effective in his answers.

It could have gone any way for me with Romney, Bachmann, and Pawlenty ... they were way too close to each other. Senator Santorum, quite frankly, disappointed me. I would expect Newt Gingrich to give coherent answers to specific questions, and he did ... in my estimation. If Herman Cain isn't on the ticket, next year, the GOP wll be missing a great opportunity. The most refreshing thing about him was his honesty, which came through loud and clear.

CNN needs to bring back the "bells and whistles". Their method of getting the candidates to shut up was irritating as hell ...

[lord o kelly]

Well Cain was alright until he got to the point where he said he wouldn't want a muslim in his cabinet. I mean c'mon, are you implying that all muslims are really acting against the US or something...

[berriez]

Also, the US isn't a developed country

lol you caught that too. he tried to be ninja with that

[Lt.Bradford]

I got the popcorn beside me and a large drink, this is almost as good as Super 8 in my opinion. We got hideous creatures, evil villains, beautiful actors out of touch with reality, and plenty of jokes to go around.

Best new series on tv!

Oh, wait...

[Rex Germanius]

The Democrats won't have to lift a finger to win, if the Republicans continue on this road.

[Captain Blackadder]

Anyway I am one of those stinking foreigners who cnn does not allow to watch these videos so could someone give me more detail as to what happened?

[berriez]

I like how Pawlenty put the Minnesota constitution over the federal Constitution when it comes to religion. I could of swore he said the Minnesota constitution precedes.
