Thread: Can someone do a play by play of the Univision debate?

Too true, very annoying to be shut out and not hear the English commentary. Don't suppose they have English subtitles on cable somewhere??

Guess I'll have to wait till the articles come out and Dobb's take on it. I understand enough Spanish -but I'd rather hear what the candidates have to say themselves...

How to end anti-hispanic sentiment?
Huckabee: People who hear someone with an accent assume he/she is illegal. Illegal immigration is unfair and unamerican.

Paul: Prevent negative tone. No national ID. (BIG APPLAUSE)
Mentions economy as bringing this sentiment.
Blames big spending and welfare.

Paul pullled out his BS line that hispanics are being scapegoated because of the bad economy. Gotta go to work...

Big Applause when Salinas mentioned Chavez' defeit in Venezuela

How would you deal with Chavez?

Paul: Dialogue, and friendship (Crowd booos). Adds that we need to dialoge with Cuba (Crowd boos). Says we created the Castro's and the Chaves'(Crowd Boos).

Huckabee: Venezuela is not Chavez. Says that Chavez is not a democratic person.

I just can't understand it. Hunter is a great candidate. Why isn't he getting more attention?

Ron Paul said something about Americans being jealous of not being bilingual. Are you kidding me? Jealous? He said nothing about making English our official language and said we can make room for bilinguals.

In one way or another all candidates are Hispandering. Even Ron Paul is.

Giuliani: Says Chavez and Castro are going against the progress of Latin America.

What would you do with Castro?
Thompson: Make sure he doesn't survive. (Applause).
Talks negatively of Castro re. his dictatorship.

Romney: Says that Fidel and Raul Castro are dictators and are weak.
They have created terror and calls them cowards. U.S. should isolate Cuba, unlike Obama who said we should talk to Castro.

McCain: Congratulates Venezuela for defeiting Chavez amendment. Repeats what the King of Spains said "Why don't you shut up" (Applause).
Mentions a political prisoner in Cuba.

Am listening to the debate but don't speak Spanish. Judging from the applause, the audience is liking what they are hearing.

The least they could do is have English questions and answers across the screen. We should sue...........a presidential debate the majority of American's can't understand!!!! DISCRIMINATION, UNPATRIOTIC, UNAMERICAN.

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power."
