Republican Presidential Debate

Have any of you been watching it?

I'm certainly not a Government buff but I pop in every once in a while and for the most part these Republicans don't seem too bad. If I had to choose between them I would probably go with Michele Bachmann (She's not too bad on the eyes lol).......If I had too.

As you can tell, I'm more Democratic I guess.

What do you guys think about them dissing Obama's economy?

@buttersdaman000: We still have an economy? I want Bachmann to win so I no longer feel shame while masturbating during the state of the union.

@OmegaDynasty:

True, but I dont think this economy is all his fault or even all that different from what we had during the Bush administration.

Yeah.....Michele Bachmann...other than the fact that she's pretty hot I dont like her very much. Too me, she seems like a far right-wing candidate. I think at this point we need somebody who is closer to a happy medium, regardless of whether or not they're Democratic or Republic.

They brought up the cervical cancer fiasco and Perry got destroyed lol. The road deal is a clearly stupid idea.....why would he even try that?

So.... pale... Both topics and visuals.... Nyehehehehe!

I hope they all lose, the Democrats too.

Nader? That you? Nyehehe! Peace man.

Nope, Nader hopes they all die, I just don't want them to succeed....theres a difference

Here's how it works Republicans blame everything on Democrats, Democrats blame everything on the Republicans and neither side does anything to solve the problem and people for some insane reason that defies all logic still vote for these incompetent jack asses

Rick Perry getting anywhere near the White House = Doomsday.

Probably to get extra money. It didn't pass of course, the people voted against it. However, time and time again he keeps pushing the toll roads.

Be thankful that you have Democrats and Republicans. At least you have a choice. I have nobody to vote for, because I don't want to support the current government, but any 'opposition' is a sad joke.

Rick Perry getting anywhere near the White House = Doomsday.

Let's not delay the inevitable, let's just vote for Michele Bachmann and speed up the end of the world shall we.

Whig Party for the win.

I'm not watching it because i've decided not to participate in politics anymore.I only vote now because being a Black American I know that someone actually did everything they could to give people like me the right to vote.With most elections at this point you are just voting for the lesser of two evils.I voted for Barack Obama but he hasn't really done all he promised and the last guy I voted lost the popular vote to George W. Bush, I'm just going to start voting for the guy I know won't win.Politics are nonsense.All the two sides do is argue about the petty sh#t and they never tackle any real issues.The television personalities that back these parties up get into all these lies and smear campaigns.It's all a waste of time at this point.Republicans ain't sh#t and Democrats ain't either.

Is it just me or does ron paul look like Ian Mckellen?

I found it disturbing how people in the audience booed Ron Paul after he explained why the terrorists are attacking us - essentially not because of what we stand for, but because we are over there acting like world police.

Santorum is a total jackass and just awful on all levels.

Michele Bachmann voted for the Patriot Act so screw her.

Gingritch is definitely one of the smarter guys up there but I disagree with a lot of his policies.

Romney is a flip-flopper on issues just like John Kerry.

Rick Perry had already expressed support for amnesty for illegal aliens and worked in relocating people out of their homes in order to build the god awful NAFTA Super Highway.

Herman Cain - I hink some of his ideas are good, but a lot of times he gives very vagure responses. I need more specifics from him.

Jim Huntsman - Don't know too much about the guy, but he's better than a lot of the others.

Ron Paul is the one who's going on my ballot, regardless if he's nominated or not.

@ssejllenrad said:

Ron Paul is Ian McKellen.

John Huntsman is the only one of them who doesn't look at the world through the lens of ideology, and actually wants to make decisions pragmatically, based on evidence. Because of that, he also doesn't have a chance to win the Republican primaries. The Republican party platforms are entirely based on feelings, not evidence. Gingrich used to care about evidence, but that was a long time ago. Paul is nuts about stuff like the gold standard, but at least I like his spirit about the wars and applying libertarianism to social issues, not just economic ones. Bachman and Perry are the worst of the bunch, they don't care a whit about reality, it's all about ideology and religion to them.

I'm obviously not a fan--and I'm not even a Democrat, I'm an independent who was a registered Republican for 16 years.

After what I saw. Ron Mutha***** Paul all the way. He was the only person up there who answered the questions straight up.

RON PAUL! I second CortSether.

Some commentary: 

This country will never be ready for a female president.

And Obama is winning the next election, he is too popular to not win. So maybe Ron Paul might become the next president in 2016....MAYBE!

@Mr. Smiths:

they said the same thing about African-American president, right?

Why not?

No this country can handle a female president but she has to be approved Oprah and The View and be a fan of the show 24.

I found it disturbing how people in the audience booed Ron Paul after he explained why the terrorists are attacking us - essentially not because of what we stand for, but because we are over there acting like world police.

That also broke my heart cause the guy was reasons were valid unlike Bachmann's "what has Libya done for us? Nothing so Screw them" reason. That bitch needs to watch more c-span or actually go to a UN summit meeting or something. I even looked over to my girlfriend and said "The crap that comes out of this ladies mouth would make Mel Gibson blush."
 
On top of that it seemed it also seem that everyopne forgot that Ron Paul was the only person up there who has served in the military.. He was a doctor in the Air Force. He was no door kicker but he at least has some understanding on how the military works and their actions.

Yeah...Ron Paul is looking like the best Republican choice right now imo

Not to be harsh, but If they don't seem to bad...It's because they are AMAZINGLY HORRIBLE... in politics, I'm sure they're good people...just horrible in the political department...And Michelle Bachman is probably the worst of them all...

Many people blame the economy on our Current president, but how often we forget that it was the states that were given the option of deny federal stimulus from the Stimulus plan... That money in turn helped states who accepted it, like my own VA, and those that didn't accept it, are doing very poor...

Blame fall solely on Congress... Republicans for being obstructionist retro-policy touting, scared of losing power...and for Democrats for allowing them to get away with it for so long.

(that's all you need to know)

But you know how long it took just to get a black president. It took decades! Not saying I would not approve of a female president, but I just do not see it happening right now.

Yeah, cause his approval ratings are just skyrocketing, aren't they?

Trust me he is still highly pouplar amongst the general people and will get relected.

Depends on who you ask. From most people I talk to, they don't really like how he's doing (both Republicans and Democrats).

Different strokes for different folks I guess. But I think he will be reelected. George Bush was reelected and alot of people hated him.

I think he got more hate in the second term. But yeah, things happen.

I'm just saying if Bush got reelected, then why not Obama.

I agree with them criticizing Obama's methods. The economy is still not good and most likely will remain so until Obama is out of office.

I concur, Michelle Bachmann seems to be a logical choice for now. Or Chuck Norris because he's Chuck Norris :-)

I think I can still vote when I'm 18. You don't have to be born in the US to vote. I'm going third party.

You people do not realize that Obama is in a situation were its gonna take time to get the Us out of this bad economy. He walked into a pile of shit and everybody expected him to clean the shit up and it does not work that way.

Of the current slew of candidates, I'd have to say I like Romney the most. He strikes me as an educated, yet grounded individual that genuinely strives to find the best solution to a problem, rather than going with a knee-jerk reaction or choosing a course based solely on political expediency. Granted, this also means he likely doesn't have a prayer in our electoral system...
