Your not missing much. They are just griping about each other.

Sounds like a typical political election debate then.

The only reason Ron Paul is bombing is because Fox News, (probably like much of the American Media though Ive only experienced Fox News) is too biased to offer an impartial view of all the candidates. I believe that if more people heard his message and werent so disenchanted with politics, or didnt rely so much on opinion polls and newscasters to tell them who to vote for, then he would be much more successful than he is. But then what do I know, Im not even American.

There are some other threads about Ron Paul. I recommend you take a look at them.

He's actually gotten fairly even-handed treatment by our media. It's when he starts talking that it all breaks down. He can't provide a single researched fact on any of his plans. Can't estimate how much savings the government would realize by abolishing the various agencies and programs he says he wants to axe. He doesn't offer any thoughts on the positive or negative potential consequences of his isolationist views. Nothing.

And it's a damn shame, because I'm sure some of the numbers would back up his ideas pretty handily. But if he can't be bothered to understand the details to that level, then he's a loose cannon.

mason, youre my boy and all but Ron Paul is bombing big time. Just have to gloat.

edit: from yesterdays CNN debate.

I hate to tell you Ron Paul owned all of them except McCain who learned is lesson 2 debates ago and didn't bother to challenge Paul at all. ( I have to give Romney, Rudy and Fred credit on the coordinated gangbang attempt.)

I can accept Paul can't win though I'll give him my vote in my primary if he's still there. If he isn't there, i can't see me voting Republican. Obama probably.

Either way, voting day will be a good day this year.

I saw this on a conservative site.
Huck 48.6%, Obama 18%, Stay Home 33.3%

Weird huh?

If that's the case the Dem's had better hope Obama wins. If Obama carried anything close to 18% of the republican vote he would win by a landlslide. I've felt this coming for awhile. http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?pi … 5#p1728355

Wow..
