Republican Presidential Candidate Debate #8 – Dearborn, MI 10/09/07 - Official Discussion Thread

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

I think Fred is contradicting himself here. He said oil prices peak before economic downturns, but previously he said our economy is fine, no recession on the horizon.

Oh, great. Now Romney is recognizing Global Warming. What a nightmare.

Yea, the only laughs so far of the night come from a dud.. you may want to check, your zipper of bias is down.

Did McCain just drop a bombshell? Getting Congress’ approval for an attack, is closer to reality than we’re saying now?
Yeah, that was kinda interesting. I don’t think he meant anything specific ... but who knows what he has been hearing from the Bush administration?

I missed this. What was the implication?

[rodguy911]

I'm the only one in S. Fla in the who is "for" drilling The rest have been hopelessly brainwashed.

Fred's message is good even great but his delivery is far less than charismatic

[Son Of The Godfather]

Apart from all the in-squabbling about which guy we want, I think most of us can agree that these feel more like “grown-up” debates as opposed to the Dem debates?

[RoseofTexas]

Bring it on....BILLIONS for the state...IS OKAY BY ME!

[greyfoxx39]

...and Mitt looks as greasy and slick as a gylcerin suppository.

Wonder if I could get away with that as a tagline, ROTFL....best description I've seen so far.

Waiting now for the PWIWFM...to weigh in and get your post yanked. (Polygamous Wives-in-Waiting for Mitt) Got some on here posting to each other slamming Fred every two minutes.

[pollywog]

Will someone please tell me WHY ON EARTH some of the POLLS that CBS, etc offer, FAIL to INCLUDE DUNCAN HUNTERS names among the “ WHO will win the debate tonight”?? as if he isn’t even debating!!!!!!!!!!ridiculous!!!

[LibLieSlayer]

Political propaganda will not penetrate the truth. You waste time and energy trying.

The laughs just keep on comin’ whenever Ron Paul starts jabbering.

[The Pack Knight]

If so many FREEPERS have different picks... how can we come together and PICK who to support?

We're doing it. Can you think of a better way to pick a good candidate than debate the issue?

Of course we're going to have different picks. Groupthink is for the left. Besides, this would be an awfully boring forum if everyone agreed, wouldn't you say?

[SoCalPol]

think Fred is contradicting himself here

good catch

[pillut48]

No wonder the liberals love Dr. Paul so much—he sounds so much like them!

[padre35]

there were some chuckles, Huck got in a dig though..”..it’s a southern thing...” saying that to Fred?

Fred is Southron indeed.

[Pravious]

“None of these are winning me over yet, but I sure as hell don’t want a dim in any fashion. If so many FREEPERS have different picks... how can we come together and PICK who to support?”

I don’t think it’s up to us. I’ll support whoever gets the nomination, Period.
Hell, I’d even support that Moonbat Ron Paul if he was up against The Evil One.

Of the current candidates, I like Huckabee’s answers best, even though I realize he’s second tier. None of the others impress me much.

[jennyjenny]

Absolutely!

[Pistolshot]

What you will see here is those who support a particular candidate disparage the others in favor of theirs. Look closely at some of the posts. Some are not watching the same debate as the rest of us, and their comments suggest it.

It happens every election. This one is more contentious than most and will be divisive here at FR for a long time to come.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Um, the video evidence backs me up. Dud.
