CNN Republican You-Tube Debate -- Wednesday, November 28, 2007

[MarkWarner08]

I see the clueless Romney bashers in this thread are in full flight tonight.

Huh? Mitt's the clueless. Hey, Mitt, Read Joseph Nye's Soft Power.

Mitt's too green to be a dog-catcher.

[Eleden]

I see the clueless Romney bashers in this thread are in full flight tonight.

Anyone can see that he's having a terrible performance.  You'd have to be clueless not to notice that.

[Aizen]

I see the clueless Romney bashers in this thread are in full flight tonight.

I hope Romney wins the Republican nomination. But he's a walking self-parody, he's a fake and he is sucking tonight. If you can't see that, you are oblivious.


Also, that Buzz guy is a moron.

[Alcon]

Hey, I know the guy who started the debate!  And Anderson Cooper sure as hell can't pronounce "Snohomish."

That question from "Buzz" sure wasn't loaded and simplistic at all.

If I hear "straight talk" one more time I will strangle a duck.

[ilikeverin]

Stock footage for Hunter.

[Lincoln Republican]

Yes, it's true, I agree, Romney is not at the top of his game tonight. 

[War on Want]

Ron Paul vs. McCain was cool. Ron Paul killed McCain in my opinion, but then again I am not a Conservative Republican, so I wouldn't know what they thought.

[Alcon]

ATTN:

Huckabee is really, really, really a Christian.  Really.

[Bay Ridge, Bklyn! Born and Bred]

I see the clueless Romney bashers in this thread are in full flight tonight.

Romney is a fool.

[Alcon]

Woah.  Twist question!

The clapping on this question reminds me of why I'm not a Republican.

Romney's answer absolutely oozed with slime.  "I didn't think it would work"?  How did he expect that it wouldn't work that it has...?

[War on Want]

That General question was awesome!!!! All the Republicans hate gays so much that they are willing to bash the General, because he is Gay.

[Reluctant Republican]

I suppose Hunter would have favored segregation back in the 50's too. Most of those people were  conservative as well.

[bullmoose88]

ATTN:

Huckabee is really, really, really a Christian.  Really.

"We believe in somethings...we're willing to die for those things.[Last phrase might be incorrect)"

But the "we believe in somethings..." line cracked me up.

[Eleden]

Romney bombed another one.

[Aizen]

lol the Republican party is the party of gay haters. Romney really bombed that last one

[Reluctant Republican]

It's okay to boo the gay general apparently. Republicans support the troops!

[War on Want]

Romney is screwed. Too bad for us Dems.

[TheresNoMoney]

lol the Republican party is the party of gay haters. Romney really bombed that last one

What did he say? I just missed it.

[Alcon]

This is ridiculous.  Booing the gay general?  Lovely folks.

"This present policy is working"?

How was it expected not to work?  What indications would show that the policy isn't working?  The military would be falling apart?  Whatever.

Unrelatedly, Huckabee seems like a decent man.

[Aizen]

Romney is screwed. Too bad for us Dems.

Yeah, I was looking forward to having Texas be a swing state


Looks like Huckabee is winning this debate with Romney losing. Huckabee was also leading in the latest Iowa poll. If Huckabee stops Romney in Iowa, he stops Romney. Even if Romney wins NH after that, Huckabee will have had SC wrapped up.

[Eleden]

Chuck Norris!

There are obviously a few facts that are relevant to the debate.

1. Guns don't kill people, Chuck Norris kills people

2. There is no theory of evolution.  Just a list of animals Chuck Norris allows to live.

[angus]

All the Republicans hate gays so much that they are willing to bash the General, because he is Gay.

love yer logic.  By that logic we could also conclude that all Democrats apparently hate gays too.  After all, more Democrats voted for Bill Clinton that Republicans.  In fact, I think I'm the only registered Republican on this forum who voted for Clinton both in 1992 and 1996.  But it was Clinton who took a bad situation and made it worse with his assinine "don't ask/don't tell" policy.  And this, after he'd promised to make it better for them.

Don't bash gays.  Don't bash republicans.  Don't bash Clinton.  While I agree that it's unfortunate that we treat homosexuals as second-class citizens, I also think it's a complicated issue, and, as Ron Paul has stated, it stems from our movement away from the individualism that made us great to begin with.  When we forget that people aren't individuals but rather labels and demographics, that's when the hate starts.  Your comments aren't cute.  Your oversimplification also reminds me why I'm not a Democrat.  I need that from time to time, given how offensive the Republicans often are.  For that I thank you.

[Lincoln Republican]

Was Anderson Cooper pushing Romney on the gays in the military issue so hard perhaps because he himself (Anderson Cooper) is gay?

If he is gay, that's fine, I do not have a problem with that, but he did push Romney very hard on this question.

[Bay Ridge, Bklyn! Born and Bred]

That Huckabee line about sending Hillary to Mars was pretty funny.

[Eleden]

Ok it's over.  Huckabee won the debate with that "Put Hillary on the first rocket to Mars" line.
