Ever wonder what a McCain/Obama/Paul debate would look like?

[AJ Antimony]

I think we all have an idea.

There's the Republican, McCain, who is campaigning pretty much only on his experience.

There's the Democrat, Obama, who uses the word "change" as if he actually means it.

Then there's the "crazy ass third guy," Paul, who is actually liked by more people than voters and who talks the truth whether it'll help him win or not.

Hmmm I wonder when the three of them had this debate (http://youtube.com/watch?v=cfuDJu9j2i0&feature=related) because it certainly wasn't recently...
NOTE: I'm referring to part 1 only lol

EDIT: Hint: read post, watch video

[SnappleLlama]

I know what it would look like; RON PAUL PWNS ALL!

LOL!

[dirknb@hotmail.com]

It would look like two dumbasses getting schooled.

Hint: read post, click link, watch clip

[pinkmandy]

It would look like all the other debates. One hour = 30 minutes for Obama, 25 for McCain, 5 for Paul.

Giving Ron Paul equal time would turn this country on its head. Can't have that, can we?

bump

[malkusm]

Watching the first part, this is exactly what it would look like.

"Let's give two minutes to Perot at the beginning, then we'll let the other two debate and NEVER SHOW PEROT for about another 10 minutes."

Scary how much Clinton says "hope and change" and Bush says "experience."

By the way, this gives good insight on how Perot got such support. He used humor, he proclaimed himself as a man of the people, he used common sense and brought the economics to the people in a simple, elementary way. Sometimes I feel like RP goes way over the average American's head....

[steph3n]

how would a debate be like? 59% obama raving, 40% mccain RANTING and 1% paul saying truth

[Crickett]

LOL..just like it..

Screw that. I'm voting for the dehydrated-baby hot water bottle. That tur(D) sandwich has the wrong letter behind his name!

:eek: Water bottle? lol.
Douche... & Turd Sandwhich comes to mind...

Lol, yea it is.

[Drknows]

if i had any video skills i would put obama on bill clinton, mccain on bush and ron paul on ross perot. then edit in debates.

Or just make a video with similar questions from all the debates and piece them together to make it look like their debating each other. then have that 92 debate fade in and out.

Yep, a comparison with Clinton & Obama would definitely be called for.

Or over the recent history, all the times assclowns have used "change".

Good to see someone finally get the point of the thread

[berrybunches]

OMG

Its like its the same exact situation. This is creepy.

I do not know much about Perot, I was only 8 years old then lol but I remember my mother voted for him and everyone told her "you are wasting your vote, he can't win, hes crazy"

:::shudders:::: Is it hopeless?

It would probably be very similar to this:

[RonPaulFever]

These debates are very cool to watch. I think I know one reason why GHWB lost that year.....listen to his speech, he speaks in negatives while Clinton talks about hope, change, etc. GHWB comes across as whiny and very dour; Clinton is young, bright and charismatic; Perot is sensible, maybe a tad weird, and relies too much on cliches and old-timey sayings to get his point across.

[Conza88]

Massive request... For things like this.. of the old school nature... ANYONE prominent, campaigning mentioning "Change"...

It would be much, much appreciated.

Found ONE!!! :D

What's amazing is that people know politicians say the same things every election year and yet they keep voting for them... the times and incumbents tell them whether to vote D or R.

H Ross Perot is a freakin billionaire, and that's how he was able to run independent for president. He's sorta like the Ron Paul of 1992 except different on the issues and nowhere near as "extreme" as Paul. He was able to win 19% of the vote, 0 electoral votes, and some say this alone is what gave the election to Clinton.

Yea I believe the only reason they let him in, was the billionaire fact. They couldn't say no to a billionaire, when thats one of the false paradigms - "You need money for the msm to cover you / compete etc." Which is fken bull... Ron Paul disproved that emphatically. The only reason they let him in, was too keep that paradigm going, along with the fact that he could never compete with the free 24hrs a day, 7 days a week news coverage offered to the main parties.

Also I'm guessing, Perot never really talked about getting rid of the Federal Reserve or the IRS? Going back to a gold standard?

Polls are more likely the definite reason why Perot was let in the debates. At one point he was leading in the polls so it would look terrible for the media to ignore a candidate who at one time was in the lead.

As for IRS/Fed, I'm not sure if he talked about them. I'd imagine he didn't but personally would like to see them gone.

Why didn't the media fudge the polls? lol.. I guess they were just learning how to f--k us over.

Hard to sell to the public that a candidate is not liked by the public when it's the public themselves who put him on the ballot

[Carole]

I remember these debates very well. I really liked Ross Perot and agreed with many things he discussed. I disagreed with a few also. In the final analysis, I am proud to say I voted for Ross Perot and was so disappointed when he lost. I don't recall if I wrote him in or if he was still on the ballot, but I was thrilled to vote for him.

I believe our country would be better off today had he been elected. On the other hand, we would not have had Ron Paul in this presidential race this year had Perot won in in 1992. And that means I might not have known who Dr. Paul is which would have been unfortunate.

[Carole]

In the 1992 debates there was complete fairness and equal time for the candidates. Considering these debates are now run by the two main parties who have complete control and wish to maintain that control,we may never again see that fairness.

[Carole]

Perot said in the debate the Fed should remain independent. He failed to see the need to get rid of it. However, if he were President, he would possibly have come to change his mind and want to get rid of them.

Those debates were almost a replay of what we are hearing today from Obama and McInSane. Ron Paul would have been the one lone voice of truth to power, better than Ross Perot, even though I liked Perot and voted for him.

[Carole]

Oh, wow! That graphic is perfect. Great! :D

Actually, they let him in very unwillingly because of public pressure. Perot was being systematically ignored in the manner to which we are accustomed. But, because he was a billionaire, he was able to buy nationwide airtime, sometimes in prime time, and go on camera with home made pie charts and what not and get himself some exposure.

He stormed the MSM fortress the old fashioned way--he rented it! They were dead set against exposing his ideas to the light of day until he bribed them substantially to let him be heard.

Now hold on there... public pressure is pressure from the public, not necessarily from the dollar. Any candidate could make the debates if they had enough people behind them. In Perot's case, he had to spend a lot of money on ads to get those people.

Correct.. He's a billionaire for crying out loud. Anyone got records of his campaign expenditure? And maybe use an inflation calculator to see what that would be in today's terms.
