[Matt Collins]

This is the OFFICIAL thread for the AEI Heritage Foundation debate on Tuesday night 11/22 regarding national security:

http://www.heritage.org/Multimedia/Video/2011/11/Republican-Debate-on-National-Security-and-Defense

http://www.heritage.org/Research/Reports/2011/10/National-Security-Debate-Moves-to-Nov-22


(http://www.heritage.org/Multimedia/Video/2011/11/Republican-Debate-on-National-Security-and-Defense)It is my understanding that Wolf Blizter will be the moderator.

[bluesc]

Seriously?

[AuH20]

They should cancel this.

[Matthew Zak]

Imagine the judge moderating one of these debates. He'd probably kamakazi his career to pimp Ron Paul.

[Ben Bernanke]

Does anyone know where to get tickets to this debate?

[iamse7en]

The uproar over the 89 seconds is a two-edged sword. I have a feeling Ron will get more time this go-around, but they'll do what they can to paint him as the terrorist-pandering kook. Ron is right, we all know he is, even the experts know he is, but the general public is so blinded by the military-banking-media cartel, that they'll continue to hate a constitutional foreign policy of freedom.

[bluesc]

They should cancel this.


Why do you still post in Ron Paul threads? Ron impressed me at the last foreign policy debate in his 89 seconds, and he will do well here.

[AuH20]

Why do you still post in Ron Paul threads? Ron impressed me at the last foreign policy debate in his 89 seconds, and he will do well here.

Why have a debate solely on national security? And it's being sponsored by AEI?

[AuH20]

Ron shouldn't even attend. I call bullshit. There is nothing to be gained in an environment where you're going to be ambushed and pummeled unfairly.


Some AEI scholars are considered to be some of the leading architects of the second Bush administration's public policy.[6] More than twenty AEI scholars and fellows served either in a Bush administration policy post or on one of the government's many panels and commissions. Among the prominent former government officials now affiliated with AEI are former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton, now an AEI senior fellow; former chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities; Lynne Cheney, a longtime AEI senior fellow; former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, now an AEI senior fellow; former Dutch member of parliament Ayaan Hirsi Ali, an AEI visiting fellow; and former deputy secretary of defense Paul Wolfowitz, now an AEI visiting scholar. Other prominent individuals affiliated with AEI include Kevin Hassett, Frederick W. Kagan, Leon Kass, Charles Murray, Michael Novak, Norman J. Ornstein, Richard Perle, Radek Sikorski, Christina Hoff Sommers, and Peter J. Wallison.[7]

[bluesc]

Why have a debate solely on national security? And it's being sponsored by AEI?

They already had one, and Ron did well. As long as he uses the panama canal answer, he should be fine.

[V3n]

He's running ads on National Security, why wouldn't he be there?

The uproar over the 89 seconds is a two-edged sword. I have a feeling Ron will get more time this go-around, but they'll do what they can to paint him as the terrorist-pandering kook. Ron is right, we all know he is, even the experts know he is, but the general public is so blinded by the military-banking-media cartel, that they'll continue to hate a constitutional foreign policy of freedom.

All Ron needs to do is say that he's the only candidate who knows the difference having the strongest national defense in the world versus being the largest military offensive power in the world, since it is far more rational not to mention easier and more moral to advocate peace through strength, not peace through aggression.

Unfortunately too many make too much money, and/or enjoy some visceral enjoyment from watching war and violence, and even some of those that don't are willing to lie about it.

Ron Paul just needs to be courageous enough to call war for profits sake evil, and those who support it either ignorant or also evil. There is no nation nor possible coalition of nations that could possibly mount an invasion or external conquest of the USA, only if we are stupid enough to spend ourselves and bomb others into oblivion will we bring about our own demise.

Important note on the hosts: the Heritage Foundation is best known to me as the originator of the health care individual mandate and the American Enterprise Institute is best known to me as the neoconservative foreign policy think tank of the GOP. If they control who gets in the audience, Paul could get booed badly, and if they control the questions there could be another Blitzer question like his famous, "Are you saying that society should just let him die?" Although maybe it will be more along the lines of let Israel die.

How about the timing of all the foreign actions today? Coincidence? Obama files EXECUTIVE ORDER for more sanctions against Iran, this time Petroluem Products...

They Timothy Geithner and Hillary Clinton have a joint propaganda press release for possible sanction of shutting down the Central Bank of Iran, the exception not to take this action, was because the Rothchilds are afraid it would take down the counterfeited FIAT paper Central Banks globally.

Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice and dozens of globalist landing in Libya today, and broadcasting continuously on social media today about intervention and saving lives. No mention of the 50,000+ killed, more wounded, rape, pillaging, assassinations, etc.

Just over an hour away!

[Eryxis]

Thank god the official thread is up!

[HarryBrowneLives]

Ron needs to change the game to get the rest off their rah rah talking points.

1. Iran .. be a policy wonk vs an idealist on this one: (A) bombing Iran would but thousands of Israeli and american lives at risk by Hezbola's new war in Lebanon that would surely start. Iran could mine the Strait of Hormuz and skyrocket gas prices. Lastly, we would have to occupy that huge country for many years, seach for WMD's (if any exist) and nation build. By the way, we're broke.

... It ain't pretty when you really discuss it and that's why Israel hasn't.

2. We have 175,000 troops in Germany, Japan, Korea, and Italy and they pay 2-3% of their own GDP on defense.

3. South Korea has 54 Times the GDP of the North, but we've had 30,000 troops on the DMZ since Ron was in high school.

4. Gingrich flipped flopped on Libya saying we should invade, then after Obama did, he said he wouldn't have. Which one is it?

5. Does Herman Cain't still believe we have the Taliban in Libya?

6. The Pentagon can't account for $2.3 trillion dollars or 25% of their annual budget. Why can't we audit the Pentagon?

7. Why on earth is the President send 2,500 Marines to Australia? Rampaging Kangaroos? They don't have men who can shoot straight?

8. Go to Congress, declare it, Fight it, win it, get it over with (the lingering wars are not very popular) this is a powerful statement.

"I don't believe we should have to spend one more dollar of defense than it takes to properly defend the country" - Esinhower

Yep, I don't know if it will come from Wolf or one of the other candidates, but, undoubtedly, there will be an attemp to paint Ron as wanting to play footsie with Ahmadinejad...and, by extention, as a foe of Isreal.

[trey4sports]

old dude just called Ron Paul "top tier" with gingrich and romney! then the stupid chick said "yeah, he could mount a good 3rd party spoiler candidacy" :rolleyes:

[HOLLYWOOD]

I hope the staff velcro'd Ron's jacket to the back of his shirt collar, so it gives a crisp fitted look and not looking like a wet drape.

Please Ron minimize the "AND DAH's", "BUT AH's", and "Welllllllll's" Use a pause instead if you have difficulty.

Everyone, keep sending your emails and tweet questions into #CNNdebate

[Xelaetaks]

Yup. That was awesome of the guy. He said the top tier is Romney, Gingrich, and Paul. She seemed offended. That froze her. She tried to interject with Cain....and then say Paul is a 3rd party candidate.

I think that guy may be looking for a new job soon :D. The way she reacted, the guy might have well said the F-Bomb.

[Jeremy Tyler]

"Ron Paul might stick around by South Carolina, but it will be Mitt Romney vs's someone else"......Yeah it will be Ron Paul!

[eleganz]

its showtime!

[Fermli]

Pre-Debate commentary: "First tier with Romney, Gingrich, and Ron Paul"

this will probably be the best Paul moment in the first 30 min since he won't get a question until then.

[pauliticalfan]

Let's go let's go!

[Patrick Henry]

This is most likely going to be a complete and total joke.

[FreeTraveler]

That was a money quote in the opening. "We should only go to war when the American People want to go to war"

[pacu44]

Everyone notice how CNN is hyping Gingrich?

CNN? Its all over Yahoo, Fox, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS... Machine is on all cylinders hyping the Fannie and Freddie ho...

[HOLLYWOOD]

THERE WE GO... First HIT PIECE... CNN Prerecorded INTRO's

Ron Paul the Anti-War Candidate, while everyone else's resumes are listed

Hey CNN Ron Paul Chairman Domestic Monetary Policy, Member Foreign Relations Committee, Physician, etc etc

FU CNN!

[RonPauledbyYoutube]

Bring it on Wolf!!!!

[Ekrub]

trey4sports, I literally was just thinking (last night) about changing my avatar to that EXACT picture (I just finished season three of breaking bad on netflix) It's funny to me because it kind of reminds me of the leprechaun drawing from the leprechaun news story in mobile alabama. Just thought I'd share lol.

[Patrick Henry]

I Imagine the crowd, being that this is DC, will not be overly enthusiastic with Paul. Hopefully I am wrong.

[John F Kennedy III]

Right before they cut to the debate one of the puppet analysts said she could see Ron running third party :mad:

[jsingh1022]

I don't trust Wolf Blitzer and CNN... BUT, with the infamous CBS 89-second debacle I am hoping they will be fair to Ron Paul. They are innocent until proven guilty tonight.

[RonPauledbyYoutube]

I want to hear the ROAR for Ron Paul!!!!

[tfurrh]

newt got booed

[pauliticalfan]

Mr. Speak-UH

[Rudeman]

Damn was watching the pre-debate stuff the entire time no one mentioned Ron Paul, they were pimping Huntsman, even mentioned Santorum as potentially the next to rise. Then I leave the room to get something to drink and I miss the Ron Paul comment.

[ZanZibar]

I keep hearing lots of boos in the audience lol

[pauliticalfan]

Perry shoots Wolf.

[cornell]

What the hell is this, a wrestling match?

[RonPauledbyYoutube]

Did anyone hear a boo for Gingrich?

[StudentForPaul08]

HAHA @ The broken feed on TV

[Xelaetaks]

Omg mitt Romneys such a loser

[pauliticalfan]

FEED SHUTS OFF WHEN RON COMES ON WOW!

CNN playing with us LOL

Blacking us out.

[green73]

Nice swagger Ron

[ronpaulfollower999]

WTF? They cut the feed when Ron Paul came out!!

[Fermli]

did anyone else's screen just mess up on ron paul

[doctor jones]

This is going to be a shit storm, get ready, the most difficult debate to date is awaiting.

[Ekrub]

anybodies TV cut out when they announced ron?

[jsingh1022]

I can't believe they put drunk Rick Perry in front of Ron Paul. For fucks sake.

[Xelaetaks]

Ron Paul broke the tv feed lol

[Rudeman]

Ron Paul gets introduced and the feed gets f'd up. Did that happen to anyone else?

[ronpaulfollower999]

Oh God…the anthem again?

[freefromchains]

Why doesn't Ron wave like the other candidates? He kind of gave a halfhearted one quick wave.

[phill4paul]

Afforded him w/ good position. Mitt and Perry still center stage?

[kahless]

Ron comes out and immediately audio/video go out for 5 seconds.

[jumpyg1258]

Already know this is going to be a biased debate by the way they lined up the candidates.

[John F Kennedy III]

And they just purposely cut Ron's intro...

[Patrick Henry]

yep lol

[jsingh1022]

I am watching on CNN.com and the feed DID NOT cut off. However, Ron Paul got the loudest cheers - I wonder why they cut it off on TV??

[libertyfanatic]

Oh God…the anthem again?
Every good conservatives proudest moment.

[pauliticalfan]

Candidates arranged by height...

[eleganz]

anybodies TV cut out when they announced ron?

yup I got it too and saw the CNN logo so its not a broadcasting or streaming issue, its a technical issue on their part.

[Xelaetaks]

Frothy. I wanna smack that guys face off with a sledge hammer

[Paulistinian]

Ok so I wasn't the only one.... those sneaky mother fuckers at CNN...

[FreeTraveler]

my tv didn't cut out.

[RDM]

did anyone else's screen just mess up on ron paul

Yes, it did.

[PursuePeace]

crowd went crazy for paul then it sounded like someone turned my speakers down.

[kahless]

Are they going to play baseball?

[redmod79]

Wow this singer sucks.

[tfurrh]

anybodies TV cut out when they announced ron?
yup

[garyallen59]

did anyone else's screen just mess up on ron paul

yeah the roar of the audience overpowered the equipment :cool:

[fisharmor]

Geez guys, put some sustain on the singer's mic!

[RonPaulCult]

I laughed my ass off when it went dark over Ron Paul. I'm sure it was just a technical problem but man it was funny.

[kahless]

my tv didn't cut out.

It went out with whatever feed Cablevision is using.

[Simple]

lady's jaw just dropped when he mentioned Ron Paul

TUBE!!! That was great.

[Patrick Henry]

Wolf looks like a wolf character from scooby-doo lol.

[green73]

I think it was Ron's huge aura that messed up the electronics.

[Ekrub]

ricky just got blacked out too. BOOYA RON KILLED IT!

[anaconda]

Solid opening statement.

[RonPauledbyYoutube]

Awesome intro!!!!

[tfurrh]

wow...no cheer for that. I kept waiting.

[kahless]

Went out again with Santorum but CNN logo was still visible so I would think everyone should have seen the blackout.

[WIwarrior]

Ron Paul!!! YEAH!

[Patrick Henry]

That was a mighty fine opening statement from the good Dr.

[ronpaulfollower999]

Rick Perry strategy: Talk more about me and less about my policies.

[llepard]

Perry trouble at home?

[pauliticalfan]

Perry tells us about his first date. What an idiot! Asking for votes. Romney's joke falls flat.

[jsingh1022]

Ron Paul just crushed the opening statement

[AlexG]

Rick Perry this is a national security debate and he wants to introduce his wife?

[anaconda]

Bad joke by romney.

[Xelaetaks]

Romney plays the Barbie doll.

[ChristianAnarchist]

I think it was Ron's huge aura that messed up the electronics.

:toady:

[fisharmor]

Ricky, you never disappoint.

[devil21]

Didnt take long for Romney to lie about something. His real name is WILLARD.

[RonPauledbyYoutube]

999

[anaconda]

Art Project get off the stage.

[WD-NY]

does the online feed cut the audience out completely?

Oh wait, heard some clapping after Romney! lol

[bunklocoempire]

is Obama debating today? :rolleyes::mad:

[green73]

Perry tells us about his first date. What an idiot! Asking for votes. Romney's joke falls flat.

rep+

[bronxboy10]

Hey Mitt, your first name is Willard...

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

Didnt take long for Romney to lie about something. His real name is WILLARD.Yep, I noticed that too.

[hillertexas]

Perry trouble at home?

lol...i thought the same thing. work it out on your own time, Perry!

[ronpaulfollower999]

From Ron's Facebook:


If you see me tugging my ear tonight, I'm saying "hi" to my granddaughter at home in Texas.

[Patrick Henry]

Woah.. Bachmann looks like a clown lol.

[fisharmor]

Gingrich: My dad was in the infantry! I get cred!

[bunklocoempire]

um, no newt -it's individual liberty

[MsDoodahs]

I listened to Ron's opening statement, was good, didn't listen to the others.

Gee, I hope Dr. Paul gets more than 90 seconds this time....

[jumpyg1258]

Ron should have mentioned that he gets more military donations than all of the other bums on stage combined.

[green73]

Is Ron the only vet?

[pauliticalfan]

We wanna get you home. Interesting.

[anewvoice]

This is much better when I mute the other candidates, :)

[1836]

Wish Ron had mentioned his service.

[anaconda]

Bachmann can't seem to sound original somehow.

[fisharmor]

Bachman is trying to be that racoon-eyed broomstick that stars on Castle.

[libertyfanatic]

Ron needs to explain that he gets the most donations from active military.

[ronpaulfollower999]

Why does it always look like Bachmann is about to cry?

[RonPauledbyYoutube]

Gingrich: "The survival of the United States" What a moron, the national debt is the most pressing threat to our national security. Wars make sure of that.

[1836er]

I think they were chanting "Newt" rather than booing him.

So Santorum says something that supposed to be clever,
Ron says something substantive,
and Rick Perry talks about... his marriage.
Mitt says something so unmemorable I already forgot it,
Cain gets caught by premature sentence ending disease again,
Newt talks lot without saying anything,
Michelle says "yeah troops,"
and Huntsman reminds us that he's a diplomat... sort of.

[HOLLYWOOD]

KABUKI THEATER...

This pandering crap is so sicking... it's pandering to the 65+ and boob tube ignorant crowd.

[kahless]

Woah.. Bachmann looks like a clown lol.

At least she is not wearing her Love Boat Captains uniform this time around.

[jumpyg1258]

Jon Huntsman is the wife in the marriage. ;)

[anaconda]

Cmon Ron quote Ben Franklin.

[Fermli]

Is Ron the only vet?

Perry is a vet.

[tfurrh]

This is pure propaganda.

[pauliticalfan]

PATRIOT ACT, wow...

[bunklocoempire]

toob or it didn't happen question dude

[fisharmor]

Oh jeez, we're starting out with the PATRIOT act.

[HOLLYWOOD]

PATRIOT ACT imagine that...

They already said this terror plot in New York is BOGUS! But, how many of the ignorant believe these BS Artists

[WIwarrior]

Jeesh...this is going to be a joke of a debate. Like always.

[Sunstruck-Eden]

Wow, this question...there is something so wrong with it...

[1836]

Gingrich says a lot of words with shockingly little substance.

[ronpaulfollower999]

ASK RON! Damn It!

[freefromchains]

Ugh. That is such a loaded question. Why not just ask what is your opinion on the Patriot Act. I hate these loaded questions, that isn't debate, but framing. :@

[libertyfanatic]

Neocon propaganda...

[Eryxis]

Wow... right for the big ones.

[PursuePeace]

fearmongering.. oh yay!

[llepard]

Newt, fear monger

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

Keep fearmongering, Newton.

LOL! I see some of us had the same insight there.

[Sunstruck-Eden]

You're not aware of any specific change it needs!? Are you KIDDING ME?

[Fermli]

strengthen patriot act? FU NEWT

[1836]

Gingrich would STRENGTHEN the PATRIOT Act? Get em Ron.

[Johncjackson]

Is there ANY truth to the claim by Meese that the "Patriot Act has been instrumental" in stopping terrorism?

[jax]

Strengthen the patriot act????? Gingrich is done

[RonPauledbyYoutube]

What did he say? All I heard was blah. blah blah

[Sunstruck-Eden]

RON!!!! Disagreement yeah!

[phill4paul]

Wow. Newt. Wow. Go Ron!

[tfurrh]

SPOT ON!

[anewvoice]

Newt looks constipated

[PursuePeace]

GO RON!!

[1836]

GREAT answer Ron.

[Sunstruck-Eden]

Perfect answer!

[ronpaulfollower999]

Paulbots in the house!

[tfurrh]

SPOT ON!
SPOT MUTHA FUGGIN ON!

[bunklocoempire]

[RonPauledbyYoutube]

Wow, that was explosive!!!

[jsingh1022]

Ron Paul just crushed that answer

[RonPauledbyYoutube]

Now that is a debate!!!!

[1836]

Goodness! Ron answered well.

[PursuePeace]

YES! RON!!!

[MsDoodahs]

PERFECT rebuttal from Ron.

Go ahead and advocate the police state, boys - treat ALL americans like criminals - go right on ahead.

I'm leaving anyway.

[ChristianAnarchist]

here's the setup--- EVERYONE against Paul...

[Orgoonian]

WoW
Dr.Paul nailed it!

[bluesc]

Turning everyone against Ron. Let Newt respond without ANY mention of his name.

[pauliticalfan]

Frontrunner Ron Paul.

[ronpaulfollower999]

OMG Bachmann…WTF? "I'm with the Constitution."

[green73]

Statists always want to punish everybody for the crimes of one.

[jumpyg1258]

LOL I like how Bachmann avoided the question completely.

[llepard]

This lady is a moron and fascist.

[Sunstruck-Eden]

here's the setup--- EVERYONE against Paul...

I couldn't agree more...

[cornell]

Are they going to make it 7 v 1?

Fine by me!

[MsDoodahs]

Jesus Christ, I'm not sure I can watch this freak show.

I'd prefer Obama to these warmongers - if they can't make war OUTSIDE the US, these fuckers will make war on Americans.

[bunklocoempire]

9-11 changed everything... yeah, man's nature is so different. Idiot.

[RonPauledbyYoutube]

here's the setup--- EVERYONE against Paul...

It's fine, Ron is a big boy!!! He can take on these statists!!!

[jsingh1022]

I would love it if they take the "Everyone vs Paul" angle. He needs to lime light that much. He will be able to defend himself

Perfect answer and rebuttal from Ron. That was epic. He just went up against the only other intelligent person in the field (not that newt is right) and handled him. Newt is a smart guy, just with horribly idiotic views. That was an awesome start.

However, I just worry that the Republican sheep electorate support a police state :(.

[anaconda]

Newt had an effective come back for the sheeple.

[phill4paul]

Ron should get a rebuttal!

[Sunstruck-Eden]

Huntsman = on our side (except for Iran)

[kahless]

Huntsman did not give an answer. Blitzer should have pinned him down.

[NorfolkPCSolutions]

Are they going to make it 7 v 1?

Fine by me!

make it 700 vs 1 - Ron Paul is used to facing down BERNANKE. These folks are mud puppies to him, flies to be swatted.

my worry: i could hear the crowd BAAAAA-ing during newts talk

[ChristianAnarchist]

Let's all just fly naked...

[bluesc]

Give Ron a rebuttal.

[blocks]

RP got 127 seconds in the first exchange compared to 89 the whole last debate lol.

[pauliticalfan]

Ron should get a rebuttal to Romney's dumb answer.

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

Oh, Mitt is stepping in it now!

[ronpaulfollower999]

Ron gets a rebuttal!!!

[Feelgood]

Rebuttal!!!

[fisharmor]

Romney: TSA patdowns are not violations of civil liberties. All but said it out loud.

[anewvoice]

Newt had an effective come back for the sheeple.

Yeah, he sold the police state well! :( Glad to see Ron Paul call him out for it immediately, Newt looks angry about it all. More Patriot Act?

[Sunstruck-Eden]

Oh, so Romney is for the police state too? Hmmm....let's see him flip flop on that in the next few minutes.

[phill4paul]

Huntsman = on our side (except for Iran)

Huntsman = blatant plagerism of Paul's position w/ ulterior agenda.

[afwjam]

no response for paul?

[jumpyg1258]

Umm you declare war on a nation, the congress hasn't done that yet Romney you dumb shit.

[PursuePeace]

Where's Ron Paul's rebuttal??

[ronpaulfollower999]

Damn it Ron thats when you butt in!

[fisharmor]

Romney: Civil liberties violations are a tool we use in war. All but said it out loud.

[pauliticalfan]

No response for Ron? What the hell.

[bluesc]

No fucking rebuttal? They gave Newt one without a mention of his name.

[kahless]

Ron needs a rebuttal!

[JoshS]

Romney: Civil liberties violations are a tool we use in war. All but said it out loud.

then got claps for it. crazy.

[ZanZibar]

Give Ron a rebuttal.That would make turbulence interesting.

[Sunstruck-Eden]

Hmmm...I wonder where Perry got the idea for privatizing the TSA?

[MsDoodahs]

These people scare me.

[ChristianAnarchist]

Rebuttals are for everyone except Ron...

E.E.R.

[mac_hine]

Perry's sweating. Get ready for some crazy.

[pauliticalfan]

So frustrating.

[bluesc]

That would make turbulence interesting.

He's planning on going all-out, correct?

[Feelgood]

Here comes Israel!!!

[WIwarrior]

These people scare me.

I was thinking the same thing.

[fisharmor]

Santorum: We should be trying to find the bomber, not the bomb.
WHAT. THE. FUCK.

[libertyfanatic]

Jesus Christ...

[devil21]

Ron's suit looks better tonite.

[Feelgood]

Lincoln?

[minusbear]

Newt and all the people like him believe Americans are guilty until proven innocent.
