[SWATH]

Oh jeez I knew it they are already ignoring Ron Paul!

[murrayrothbard]

[murrayrothbard]

Ron Paul Button!!

[mconder]

Are they trying to set Ron Paul up with all these racism comments? Are they going to ask about Ron Paul's alleged comments?

[golfboy]

this feels like a trap to me. I'm sure ron paul will be fine though.

[fletcher]

[mannycp]

please fix the thread title to "Debate"

[Dan Klaus]

just starting on the tavis smiley...is it already playing...introducing the Little Rock 9 at this moment...

[brandon]

yea RP button was awesome. They are going to try and make all these guys look evil, not just RP. That is why the top tier avoided the debate. I am willing to bet RP owns the support of at least 50% of the audience though, so he should be fine.

[Richandler]

"you can't lead people unless you serve people." What?

That is like saying the slave is the master...

[SWATH]

Ask Dr. Paul a question already!!!

[DahuiHeeNalu]

These People are Republicans to right sorta mixed group of side's?

[SWATH]

UH OH Mike "for Ron Paul...it's done" Steele is an enemy combatant

[Wyurm]

UH OH Mike Steele is an enemy combatant

yeah, my heart sank when I saw him walk out.

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

I hope Michael Steele changes his tune about RP after tonight.

[Salamando]

"you can't lead people unless you serve people." What?

That is like saying the slave is the master...

The President isn't a master but a 'slave' to the people.

[RP4ME]

Im sooooo excited - thsi is soooo fun!!! Get down widya bad self RP!!!!! RP Fo shizzle - RP is teh shiznik?

[Tin_Foil_Hat]

Now now...let's don't be nervous Nellys.

[mconder]

Was that William Shattner in the audience? I could have swore I saw him.

[kalami]

[DahuiHeeNalu]

Now now...let's don't be nervous Nellys.

[DahuiHeeNalu]

[kalami]

2nd in the order is good

[SWATH]

huckabee just pulled another Ron Paul line! "I'm running for the president of the united states not the president of the republican party"

[Tin_Foil_Hat]

Those empty podiums are going to make good footage in some videos.

[CodeMonkey]

"Top tier" gets the central podiums even when they don't show up!

[Original_Intent]

Ron Paul got more cheers than Alan Keyes! :eek:

[MS0453]

Are they trying to set Ron Paul up with all these racism comments? Are they going to ask about Ron Paul's alleged comments?


When Tavis walked out on stage, I did a quick Wikipedia search just to see who he was:

"Smiley also used his commentator status on Joyner's radio show to launch several advocacy campaigns to highlight discriminatory practices in the media and government and to rally support for causes such as the awarding of a Congressional Gold Medal to civil rights icon Rosa Parks."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tavis_Smiley

Oh Geez....

I'm not nervous though... :o

[OURPLAN]

He is going to kick some butt! Go RON!

[MozoVote]

PalTalk Room is open if you don't wanna keep hitting refresh here

[DahuiHeeNalu]

i was thinking the same thing :(

[csen]

I don't support him, but as a politician Huckabee impresses me. He's a far better politician than the other pro-war guys.

[DahuiHeeNalu]

Ron Pauls intro is amazing FREEDOM!!!!!!!

[Starks]

Brownback, I wholly agree.

[murrayrothbard]

RP seems like he doesn't think he is going to get to talk so had to cram it all in at the opening. calm down Ron, this isn't Fox News

[Electric Church]

Ron's kickin butt

[DahuiHeeNalu]

HUGE POP FOR PAUL Again Yeahhhhhhhh!

[SWATH]

Paul chose not to berate the front runners for not being there.

[csen]

heh heh, this is going to be a lot better than the Value Voters debate for us.

[kalami]

it makes noise when he bangs his podium

[Dustancostine]

Every once in a while we can talk about something else other than the war :(

[ForLibertyFight]

Many Ron Paul supporters at the fourm :D

[paulitics]

I hope alot of people are watching this. this is great, so far.

[mconder]

Good call on Ron's part not using his time slamming the other candidates.

[DahuiHeeNalu]

Other guys here are like im sorry there not here!

Dr.paul is LIKE IM HERE FOR FREEDOM AND THE CONSTITUTION!!!

[fletcher]

LOL. Ron gets right to the point.

[Richandler]

Every once in a while we can talk about something else other than the war :(

The war is the biggest problem. Wars tend to be that way.

[RP4ME]

RP seems like he doesn't think he is going to get to talk so had to cram it all in at the opening. calm down Ron, this isn't Fox News
I know - im sure he feel spressure dto get it all in - you know that tehy will showcase Huckster and teh black man

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

I'd chat, but don't want to download something. I'll just refresh.

I like the audience shots.

The rest of the candidates are pandering so quickly. RP is staying on message. Nice.

[Geronimo]

What's the deal? Does John Cox think he's too good to show up or something?

[MikeStanart]

LOL. Ron gets right to the point.


Haha that's Ron for ya!

No foreplay, get to the point already!

[Starks]

our Border Is On Fire!

[Ron Paul Fan]

Every once in a while we can talk about something else other than the war :(

You can I can talk about whatever we want, and so can Dr. Paul. I liked his opening statement and he got a good applause so the crowd must have liked it too. Let's support our candidate and his strong message of liberty.

[MikeStanart]

our Border Is On Fire!



Do you want Mr. Druggie crossing the border???

[Phil M]

Keyes is sucking.

[RP4ME]

no keyses did not stand up for uncle Tom

[murrayrothbard]

what is up w/keyes? seems a little off

[kalami]

duh, it was so obvious. Keyes is the reason for the no shows

[isufferfromronpaulfever]

My grandson, we call him D3... Yea, OK Duncan.

[Dustancostine]

That was pretty funny by Keyes

[mconder]

Alan Keyes is on CRACK. For him to assume the other candidates stayed away because of him...???

[SWATH]

Yeah I'm real sure they are afraid of Keyes.

[grfgerger]

LOL I love keyes

[libertythor]

Now watching .....I am a little bit late because of the Chinese food and beer run. :D

[paulitics]

keyes is the craziest and most animated.

[fedup100]

Why is this not on pbs in seattle??

[rg123]

Why does Huckabee get to answer everything first. Bias

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

[Dustancostine]

Huck just called for more spending.

[MGreen]

Mmm, Lincoln worship.

[DjLoTi]

Huckabee talking about marijuana? give me a break!

[jb4ronpaul]

Huck did good.

[1000-points-of-fright]

Huckabee just said a "lid" of marijuana. Don't let the preacher stuff fool you. He's an old school hipster.

[DahuiHeeNalu]

Huckabee talking about marijuana? give me a break!

So true lol........
