Is Ron Paul even present? I could have sworn he was running for president but I have yet to hear from him

. God, for the life of me I don't understand why I watch these things.

Ron Paul was talking about all this stuff for years. There is a clear distinction between voter preferences on the war in Iraq and the economy. If the war in Iraq comes back to the fore, it still appears that Obama and McCain are in the best position to ride to victory. If the economy means more to voters, Clinton and Romney will find themselves in greener pastures. McCain, who backed the surge, often says he would rather lose a campaign than a war. Thanks, at least in some part, to the success of the plan he advocated, he may be on a path to do just that. But if you want the country to do well we need Ron Paul!

OMG...McCain is unbearable "it's the obligation of the world's superpower to protect democracy around the world."

I didn't watch it no need,because RP has my vote and that's that.

BTW,I live in FL,my area the only signs you see are RP signs,went to Ocala last week the same thing though I did see a couple Romney signs also.

That may not indicate who will win Fl but it sure says something about who has inspired Floridians.

Oh they're awful, why do I watch this?! Am I a glutton for punishment?!

I really cannot believe that this is the same John McCain from 8 years ago.

MamaBee · 01-24-2008, 07:54 PM

He's the new model, the McCain version 2.0.

Is it me or is the debate sorely lacking... they make speeches but NO real answers to the questions on superficial "one-liners". The questions are designed to attack character than talking about the issues...

It's not you, this has been the biggest waste of an hour and a half that I can remember in a long time.
