[zach]

Unless there's another one around, why not make one?

I wonder what place Paul will be interviewed.

[Young_Apprentice]

Weee, I love official debate/forum threads

[Agora]

yeeeeee, we don't buying it Huck, sorry

[ItsTime]

where is the thumb up thumb down thingy that dude showed? where we vote real time on how much everyone sucks besides paul

[Starks]

To be fair, Huckabee has been singled out as the God candidate.

[Young_Apprentice]

[MGreen]

I have to say, this is pretty ridiculous.

They're reading private messages off of myspace, yet even within the first 10 minutes this seems way more enlightening and fair than any of the debates so far.

[ProfNo]

Has anyone besides Huck talked yet?

[Young_Apprentice]

Huckabee's going to teach us all art. wonderful...

[affa]

no. huck's up for the first 20 min
zzzzzzzz

[affa]

he's NOT answering the election fraud question

[affa]

He just STOLE "long haul"

OMG

[Young_Apprentice]

I can't believe how socialist he's sounding right now

[Starks]

Ooh Fair Tax question.

[constituent]

Ding Ding Ding ding! hit that nail on the head.. +1

[zach]

can i please please please get a link?

Here's the Myspace link:

http://www.myspace.com/election2008

That's the only one I know of so far.

[Starks]

"...poor, dumb saps..."

[Danny Molina]

Huckabee is terrible at speak to teenagers.

[Young_Apprentice]

his fair tax is going over pretty well on the poll right now

[zach]

Ouch.. stimulus package starting.

[Starks]

Wow. That's a zinger of a question.

[fletcher]

That first kid that asked a question was an idiot. "Obama is proposing big, sweeping changes." WTF is he talking about?

[TER]

Borrowing from the CHinese!! I love it!!!

[Starks]

China!

[mokkan88]

Oh great. He brings up "borrowing from the Chinese"...

[Matt23]

o god green house gasses

[TER]

Huck's army. You are welcome here!!!

[Matt23]

we cant forget those soccer moms that need to get to those soccer game

[Agora]

copycat grrrrr

[HazardPerry]

Man Huck is stealing Ron's talking points.

[constituent]

faulkner u?

as in absolam, absolam faulkner?

[Young_Apprentice]

we cant forget those soccer moms that need to get to those soccer game

and the truckers! their opinions are far more important than wall street's!

[zach]

Dad, I got ripped off! :P

[ProfNo]

I can't believe how socialist he's sounding right now

Holy Shit! You are right...sounds just like a dem.

[allyinoh]

What Huckabee doesn't explain is that you won't have money taken out of your check but you'll be paying it in another way by sales tax.

People are idiots not to look into it further.

[TER]

Huck is starting to look ashamed of his faith. This will be his downfall.

[zach]

Yeah he's done!!

[affa]

know who else ripped someone off tonight? Huck.

[Molly1]

Someone ask Huckabee why he lied about having a theology degree.

[allyinoh]

colbert bumped? chuck norris approved? WTF

[wfd40]

lol

[virginiakid]

I wonder how much time they have allocated to each candidate? Huckabee has been on there at least 20 minutes.

[JAlli41]

the kids love chuck norris...

[Molly1]

Did Huckabee talk about his warmongering?

[TER]

He is like Ritalin to this audience.

[HazardPerry]

I wonder how much time they have allocated to each candidate? Huckabee has been on there at least 20 minutes.

We'd better get frakking equal time.

[mfw1974]

I am nervous!! I want Ron Paul to do so well.

[Radiofoot]

How long has this been on?

And who's already been on?

Thanks to the guy who told me about VLC by the way.

(it might also work in other media players)

[Young_Apprentice]

Holy Shit! You are right...sounds just like a dem.

Seriously, all he needs is to start wearing a beret and insert the words bourgeois and proletariat into his speech and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between him and a marxist revolutionary.

[zach]

the final judgment..

definitely voting for someone else.

I'm having a ROFLMAO

[pebcak]

What he doesn't realize is that the whole Chuck Norris thing is just a meme.. a joke.

[pebcak]

Paul should be next according to their IM.

[zach]

Yeahhh

[Young_Apprentice]

What he doesn't realize is that the whole Chuck Norris thing is just a meme.. a joke.

and it went out of style two years ago...

[mfw1974]

Woot!!

[Radiofoot]

[allyinoh]

Wooo hooo Ron Paul! =)

[Rattlehead]

[mfw1974]

MIC Problem?

[penguinomint]

[pebcak]

Darfur??

[MGreen]

Can anyone hear him?

[JAlli41]

Darfur could be a gotchya question

[homah]

Ron sounds awesome...

[zach]

Hmmmmm

[TER]

unbelievabe

[mfw1974]

Sounds good online, but on MTV it sucks.

[mokkan88]

So the debate begins: intentional or unintentional?

[TER]

this is criminal

[penguinomint]

Thank God

[RCRanger03]

kids are going to thinkhe is heartless

[Liberty_TN]

Wtf????

[asheville4paul]

finally fixed

[zach]

he's doing it well so far even though the mic is ticking me off

[phill4paul]

Ask her how much she would be willing to spend to police the world. 100% of her paycheck?

[Agora]

YES - we did well :)

[chiplitfam]

Another attack on Paul? No volume!!!

[asheville4paul]

[JAlli41]

theyre killing him with gotchya questions

[pebcak]

These kids are a bunch of socialists.

[zach]

not worried. they cut him off, they look bad. :D

[allyinoh]

I'm afraid that these people are too stupid to understand what he's talking about... am I just being pessimistic?

[asheville4paul]

all anti Paul questions. So obvious

[zmyrick19]

Look at all those signs!!!

[angelatc]

Yeah Manhattan!

[RCRanger03]

these are horrible questions

[homah]

he is answering these gotcha questions very well

[HazardPerry]

All of these questions are for socialists

[Radiofoot]

No, they're not attacking him.

If people are worried about these issues, they have a right to ask and find out.

[penguinomint]

Governor Paul!

[Young_Apprentice]

I'm afraid that these people are too stupid to understand what he's talking about... am I just being pessimistic?

No, the average college student, having been zombified by years of socialist indoctrination, doesn't understand him.

[zach]

ooo. nice question on 911!

[Starks]

I like this question!

[homah]

Great answer to the 911 question...it was probably meant to set him up for failure but he is owning it.

[zach]

the polls online are looking great!

[Phantom]

Ron Paul is on fire.

[wfd40]

LOL.. Paul is such a crack up.. he's gonna make lightbulbs go off over thousands of you kids head over the next 20 minutes..

Hes not even trying to pander.. I LOVE THIS MAN

[allyinoh]

[RCRanger03]

Al Queda PIRATES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zolah]

I think he did well with the Rwanda question, it's a tough issue

[zach]

[pebcak]

I'm very pleased with his performance so far. And the online polls are looking good.

[ProfNo]

Awesome answer to the 911 question!!

[Jim_Karr]

[zach]

[Agora]

[zmyrick19]

[allyinoh]

Half the people who support Democrats don't know why. Honestly.

Ron Paul is the frickin' MAN! =)

[Starks]

"The Republican party deserves to be punished..."

ZING!

[dima7b]

[RCRanger03]

[Radiofoot]

[ATS]

[RCRanger03]

[zmyrick19]

Is it just me, or do alot of the young people they let in the studio look like they probably are just chilling until Obama comes on?

[Young_Apprentice]

Inga looks confused

[zach]

how about some absolut happiness?

haha.

[Zolah]

Interesting note on oil prices, in Qatar you can fill your gas tank for $14!

[zach]

what is the message? OMFG DO IT

[Young_Apprentice]

o god he used the word collusion

[pengieh]

I have a strange feeling that a lot of the questions were given for the young people to ask.

[RCRanger03]

Bash Obama! Do It Now!

[Radiofoot]

Energy isn't Paul's strong point at all really.

[homah]

I have a strange feeling that a lot of the questions were given for the young people to ask.

they all were

[Radiofoot]

I have a strange feeling that a lot of the questions were given for the young people to ask.

They're students.

We study this stuff, we aren't stupid.

[dougkeenan]

Holy hemp fields, he brought it up! Go Ron Paul!!!

[Starks]

I have a strange feeling that a lot of the questions were given for the young people to ask.

Even if that was true, he nailed all of them.

[Young_Apprentice]

Here's the subtle attack on Obama


tinkering...lol...

[zach]

freedom freedom freedom

[RCRanger03]

Say Because Im Sexy

[MGreen]

Energy isn't Paul's strong point at all really.
It's the only energy policy I've heard that makes sense.

[homah]

why the fuck did the host just laugh when he said if you want freedom vote for ron paul

[dima7b]

Omg! Foreign Policy Outside Iraq!!!!

[tsiguy96]

he laughed because he siad "you gotta vote ron paul"

he needs to bring up getting rid of the war on drugs.

[Young_Apprentice]

HAHA best question ever!@!@!@1121

[ShowMeLiberty]

why the fuck did the host just laugh when he said if you want freedom vote for ron paul

the joyful feeling of freedom & independence :)

[zach]

i got this rongasm GOIN ON!

[RCRanger03]

ron paul just took my virginity

[H Roark]

The results are not updating!

[wfd40]

i am in NYC and could have gone down to time square to see Dr. Paul on the big screen and hang out with all of those sign wavers!!

:(

I'm really quite bummed out right now

[allyinoh]

I'm loving this, I know I keep saying it but I love this kind of format where each candidate gets the same amount of time to talk...

However, doesn't it seem like he's getting more time than Huckabee or is it just me? I'm not complaining though. =)

[homah]

these questions are all intended to make him look bad

every question to obama is going to be "how will you bring change"...all questions will be vague.

[Radiofoot]

why the fuck did the host just laugh when he said if you want freedom vote for ron paul

Stop being so paranoid man.

It was meant light heartedly, it's an informal question session. It's polite to laugh if someone else makes a light hearted remark.

[pebcak]

This is so awesome. FINALLY Ron gets to talk with equal time. In this format he owns!

[RPsupporterAtHeart]

damnit i can't watch this. Perhaps because I'm in Canada

[zach]

nice

[angelatc]

I hate going back to the real world.

[RCRanger03]

say you will let them out of Social Securities

[MGreen]

However, doesn't it seem like he's getting more time than Huckabee or is it just me? I'm not complaining though. =)
Been just over 20 minutes now, so yeah. He still has his closing argument, too.

[Young_Apprentice]

these questions are all intended to make him look bad

every question to obama is going to be "how will you bring change"...all questions will be vague.

Some of these questions have been absolutely beautiful. This is the fairest treatment he has yet received.

[zach]

Yeahhhhhhh

[JAlli41]

Dr. Paul is kicking ass and taking names, this is truly Ron Paul at his best

[Liberty_TN]

Cheering in Times Square FTW!!!

[Zolah]

Was glad he immediately stated non-interventionism is completely different to isolationism

[chiplitfam]

This is a more mature debate than all the MSM!

[Dan.]

wow, what a question...

[RCRanger03]

Mention The Money!

[sidster]

I can't watch this either... is it live?

can't watch the online either.

[ForTheRevolution]

i tuned in 5 mins ago and paul is killing it!

[ATS]

I going to come more than once tonight!!!!!!!!!!!

[allyinoh]

Come on people vote!!!

[mfw1974]

Vote For #17!!!

[zach]

goood question

[RCRanger03]

Mention your book!!!!!

[Jim_Karr]

Vote new poll

[MGreen]

Spam the poll, brothers and sisters! Nearly 25% "won't vote for him"!

[chinaCat]

he isn't used to all this time, I feel like he is talking a mile a minute. Great message but he should slow down and let these dumb mtv kids catch up.

[zach]

For The Win

[angelatc]

I iwsh the Democrats were not getting the last word here.

[zmyrick19]

wtf!? 1min for Ron, but Hucklebuck got 2...

[RCRanger03]

Government Has Failed!

[Acelgoyobis]

wtf!? 1min for Ron, but Hucklebuck got 2...

I think it's metaphorical.

[Young_Apprentice]

wtf!? 1min for Ron, but Hucklebuck got 2...

I think he's been talking for about 10 minutes longer than huckabee did

[RonPauledbyYoutube]

Just got home. 3.5 hrs in Wal-mart for an oil change. Insane!!! Summary anyone?

[ShowMeLiberty]

This is a more mature debate than all the MSM!

I was just thinking that this debate is making me so proud of the younger generation.

If the Boomers and Gen X'ers (my gen.) don't completely ruin everythingin the next few years, the young people are going to make this a great country again when it's their turn at bat.

[zmyrick19]

I iwsh the Democrats were not getting the last word here.

MTV glorifies the slacker and thug mentality, so I'm not surprised.

[zach]

YEAH POLL.

i am so happy

[RCRanger03]

Bitch Ill Cut You

[TER]

people hate the truth

[rg123]

What a bunch of crap worth noteing

[allyinoh]

So wtf now they are saying that the poll isn't valid?

[donttreadonme]

"its worth noting that Ron Paul has online support" Thanks asshole. BTW i'll be voting against Obama throughout the night.

[Jim_Karr]

time to burry obama

[tomveil]

Wonderful interview all around.

[RJB]

Stay on we gotta vote down Hillary and Obama

[DJ RP]

Why was that "worth noting" what possible purpose does it serve?

[TER]

Boycott Viacom!!!!

[Rattlehead]

FOLKS, stick around and bury Obama!!

[HazardPerry]

Fuck off you shitheads. Saying Paul isn't worth anything at the very end. Go to hell. Now Obama is going to come on and all the teenie boppers are going to wet their pants. Let freedom ring.

[Dan.]

wtf? unnecessary smear at the end about polls

[d991]

That asshole! Sounds like Sean Hannity "the poll is just his supporters spamming it" WTF

[Radiofoot]

Hmm, this should be interesting now...

It's a shame that Ron couldn't go head to head with Obama.

Because Obama is going to be more exciting and will say bullshit, and no one will be able to point him out.

[Young_Apprentice]

just so you know, Ron Paul has a lot of online supporters but he's not going to win. just so you know...not to invalidate anything....

Wow, he wasn't biased at all.

[virginiakid]

Washington post commentator just slammed our numbers of support. Unbelievable on how they continue to try and distort the truth and belittle him.

[ladyliberty]

bury obama? no probs! my daughter and i are having a blast tonight!

[IDefendThePlatform]

Dr. P Just Owned That Forum! This was by far the best debate ever! Screw that washington post jerk.

Now we just need to stay online and vote down obama and hilary!
