- Thread starter gardenweasel
- Start date
Didn't see debate myself--but did read about this morning.
On Ron Paul-- 1st thing I thought of was those dogging Fox News in another Ron Paul thread for not giving him coverage and complaining of not being fair and balanced.
Lets take a look at the facts on their coverage of debate and see if we can figure out if what the forum members said was true--or just politically biased opinion.
We report--you decide

Here's what FOX Fans are saying:
"The clear winners were Giuliani, Romney, and Huckabee, in that order. Ron Paul is a very poor excuse for a Republican and should run with the other idiots on the Democrat side." ? Mr. & Mrs. Payton (Florence, OR)
"I think, surprisingly, I was most impressed by John McCain and I would say he "won" the debate. I was also impressed by Romney, Giuliani and Huckabee. Paul is a certified lunatic." ? Rod (Garden Grove, CA)
"Love Huckabee...but Ron Paul represents the 1776 Gentleman Farmer - a man of common sense who loves this country. I'm changing my support to Ron Paul." ? Fred (Dacula, GA)
"MITT ROMNEY. He is the only candidate who answered the questions from a position of strength and honesty." ? Jason (Atlanta, GA)
"I sincerely believe that Congressman Ron Paul won the debate tonight. Since World War II the United States has not declared a war and since that time we have also not won a war. The idea that we can even "win" the war in Iraq is ridiculous because we never declared who it was against or what it was for." ? Luke (Florida)
"Hands down, Mike Huckabee won the debate. He's brilliant, witty, a proven leader, sincere, and right on the only issues that should matter ? life, marriage, and national security." ? Rena
"Rudy Giuliani was the clear winner. His experience transfers perfectly to the challenges of decision making necessary for The Presidency. He accomplished a great deal in New York with reduced crime, tremendously reduced welfare recipients, and lowered tax rates and cleaned up the citiy. I liked his answer to gun control. He said it wasn't the guns he needed to control, it was the criminals. He got them off the streets and the crime goes down. I'd like Duncan Hunter for VP." ? Cordelia (Fletcher, NC)
"It was John McCain hands down. He had a command of the issues and actually answered his question intelligently. Others sidestepped, repeated the same thing or were vague. I am looking forward to the October redebate." ? Gail (Wauwatosa, WI)
"I feel that Ron Paul won this debate. He continues to stick to his principles and, in my opinion, gives the most honest responces. I felt that the the "frontrunners" ? Romney, McCain, and especially Giuliani - avoided answering several questions truthfully and completely. The decision of who I will vote for is between Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee, with me leaning towards Ron Paul." ? Brian (Crossville, TN)
"Rudy Giuliani - Hands down. Track Record & Experience. Let's make America change just like New York did." ? Gary (Pace, FL)
"McCain showed an understanding of all of the questions he was asked tonight. Giuliani and Huckabee were the next in line. I go for McCain as the winner tonight. Thank you for a good debate with good questions." ? V.V.
"Up until tonight's debate, I wasn't sure who the Republican front runner and my choice for President would be. Tonight, John McCain answered my questions and is clearly the man for the job." ? Alfred (Houston, TX)
"Mike Huckabee and John McCain were my favorites in tonight's debate. I am really looking forward to learning more about Fred Thompson. From what I know at this point, he looks like my overall favorite.. It would have been nice to see him in tonight's debate. It is great to be an American! It is a place where our voice can be heard by going to the polls and casting our vote." ? Jess (Michigan)
"While McCain performed better than expected, I thought overall Romney won it. Giulani was just plain disappointing." ? Laurel (California)
?I liked Huckabee and McCain. Most well-spoken. Hopefully McCain knows illegal immigration now.? ? Stephen
?I believe that it was a toss-up between Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney. John McCain came across better than he has in a long time, and Huckabee, Hunter and Brownback held their own. Tom Tancredo didn't so well. Poor old Ron Paul has just lost what sanity he ever had. I think the people in white coats should take care of him.? ? Mary
?Thanks for airing this debate. Ron Paul sure blew the doors off that place!? ? Christian

Hopefully 'liberals', or anybody else that gets the reins in 2008 would not attack random countries, with horrible 'intelligence', when even if said 'intelligence' was 100% correct, would still be total folly.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS???? Are you actually saying that this admin has been effective in regards to foreign affairs? :mj07:
Ron Paul wins all these. Why people like him. He's honest and to the point they say. Does not duck any question. When asked would they vote for him. Then answers starts to get cloudy. They had, they being FOX news had 30 hand picked reb's at a restaurant last night to pick there brains during and after debate. WOW the FOX dick wish he never would have asked the question. How they felt over all about the debate. He got chit thrown in his face with there answer. So he worked fast to change question. And got them to at least say they thought MC Cain stood out. A few said Ron Paul was refreshing.
So Fox had 3 million. Fred on Leno had 6 million.
King had about his reg 1.3 to 1.5 a night. No one left to go see fox. This debate was just boring if Ron Paul would not have been there. There lucky to have him. He's worth 1 million him self. I mean you Reb's must get sick of just seeing 8 or 9 old white guys standing there saying same chit. At least like it or not. The Dem's look like the melting pot America is. White,Black,Hispanic,Female,Male.
