Thread: THE CNN DEBATES

Gilly is a joke. For those that think Bill Clinton was a cad over Monica, at least she was free, but Gilly dates his mistress on taxpayer dollars.

Don't need a flip-flopper like Gilly. Mr. Sanctuary!

Gilly is a good name for Guilani Dixie! He does act like a fish out of water, doesn't he?
IMO, I swear he sniffs something before the debates. Or else he has a terrible case of ADD. He keeps shifting around like he needs to "relieve" himself.

were allowed to talk. When the question was asked of ALL candidates, only the 4 afore mentioned were asked that question. Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul, and Duncan hunter were left out or the debate. I was very, very upset. They never asked RP on his idea abougt immigration or SS etc. How can peple make a choice when they don't here EVERYONES VIEW.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Everytime I heard a question for ALL candidates, I told my husband "Anderson Cooper" is going to choose Guiliani, Huckabee, or McCain. AND HE DID. I guess CNN is choosing a candidate for us.

You are right, it has worked for MSM before and they are going to try it again, however we are on to their brainwashing techniques and we are not BUYING THE BS this time!!!!

Then you'll have to vote for someone who wants to give amnesty to illegal aliens. Or throw your vote away on an independant.

If some Terroist we captured knew the location of a Nuclear weapon that was about to detonated in a Major US city, Would i use waterboarding? Dam straight i would!

If you use torture you became the same as a terrorist.I don't believe this is what America stands for.

If torture would save lives then so be it. Survival isn't about who is the nicest guy in the neighborhood.

It is true tortured individuals with no information will make up information to end the torture. Until we have psychics who can read their minds we have to live with that.

Save it for extremes. We aren't talking about torturing people for just any information. If you believe they have knowledge about WMD's you don't have a choice you have to torture. Survival isn't a popularity contest.

Do you honestly think Muslim terrorist aren't going to torture Americans just because we aren't torturing captured terrorist?

We're going to have to agree to disagree on this because I'd torture the hell out of a terrorist if I thought the torture would prevent a terrorist act that would cost the lives of thousands of American citizens.

maybe you will like the terrorists torture YOU if they suspect you of a crime. see how you like that!

What would a terrorist consider a crime?

I can see Minnie's point on this. If we're as bad as they are then what are we fighting for?

Survival.

If Ron Paul is so popular, why does he not lead all the polls? I suspect there is a bit of exaggeration going on about this man. I do not find much about his ideas that would be logical or practical. He does not have a chance to win and the crowd that supported him were very rude to the rest of the candidates. RP is a whacko!

November 28, 2007 - St. Petersburg, Florida
CNN planned this debate with a simulcast on CNN en Español (in the Spanish language). Internet services YouTube and Google also participated, allowing them to stream the event live and have clips for future use. Video questions had to be submitted by November 25 to YouTube [11].

Several candidates cited scheduling conflicts with the original date, September 17, 2007, so it was re-scheduled. The invited candidates are Ron Paul, Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, Duncan Hunter, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Tom Tancredo, and Fred Thompson.[63] All candidates accepted, and all appeared.[64]

60-70 questions were chosen for the debate, with Anderson Cooper - the moderator - determining which candidates would respond to each question.[65] Overall, Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani had the longest speaking time. Mike Huckabee wasn't allowed to answer a question until the 26th minute. Ron Paul was not allowed to respond until after the first half-hour.[66]

According to CNN's online scorecard, Ron Paul is the overall winner of the debate with 47% of the vote and won in every other major category except "Most Disappointing Performance," which went to Rudy Giuliani with 25% of the vote.[67]

John McCain and Ron Paul had a notable exchange over the Iraq War and the Vietnam War. McCain stated that troops wanted the US government to "let them win." Ron Paul replied "The real question you have to ask is why do I get the most money from active duty officers and military personnel?" [68] McCain also called Paul an isolationist, saying "We allowed Hitler to come to power with that kind of isolationism." Paul replied that McCain was confusing isolationism with non-intervention, "I want to trade with people, talk with people, travel, but I don't want to send troops overseas using force to tell them how to live."[69] [70] McCain's critiques of Paul's anti-war stance drew loud booing from the audience.[71]

During breaks, ads created by each campaign were aired. Fred Thompson's ad attacked Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, which they were allowed to respond to.[72]

Ron Paul doesn't 'lead all the polls' because he's not a shill for the Military Industrial Complex. The MSM only promotes the candidates that spew the globalist line while stirring the pot with 'wars and rumors of wars'.

If you don't find his ideas of Constitutional government logical or practical, you should probably live in another country. I would guess a socialist paradise like Venezuela would suit your politics.

Ron Paul has an excellent shot at winning because his message has ENERGIZED all of us. "Dr. Paul has cured my apathy." is a popular saying.

How can you claim RP supporters were rude when they booed EVERYBODY???

I think you are a troll that has come on here to stir the pot. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Is the RNC paying you?
