2012 Republican Nomination Debates

There are a few debates left before we get to the presidential debates.



I have searched the internet and found that

http://www.2012presidentialelectionnews.com/

is the best for: giving a quality video for the debates, listing all relevant information, and keeping the "reader" up to date with changes. That site also lists relevant polls.





If anyone finds anything better, definitely post it.

This thread is not to take away from other threads that may also be relevant. If you want to talk about or pick on a particular GOP candidate in an existing thread, definitely do so. I wanted this thread to focus on the debates. I did not think creating 18-20 threads for each debate, when each debate would only garner 5-10 posts, would be kosher or logical.

dadudemon
The last debate I have partially seen is the Iowa Thanksgiving Family Forum. I liked the relaxed and open atmosphere and presentation to the debate. I did not like the "churchiness" and the obvious pandering to the Christian demographic. It was almost gag-worthy but at least face-palm worthy. I understand the need to do so but it was just too damn fake.

I will post my remaining thoughts on it when I finish the video.

My theory is that his speechwriters are pranking him. Someone told him that was the song from the 2000 Olympics.

My favorite was his response to Palin calling him the "flavor of the month". Cain said he was not a flavor of the month, but was like "Haagen Daz Black Walnut; a flavor with the real staying power". Unfortunately, they don't make Black Walnut anymore: it was a limited edition flavor of the month.

I had a long ass debate with my roommate regarding Iran and how our current policies are getting us nowhere.

He basically stonewalled me and asserted that Iran "cannot be reasoned with" to which I asked him what he proposed we do if not attempt to reach some kind of understanding/rapproachment.

He advocated military force, to which I replied that Iran would not go down like Iraq did and would be too large for us to occupy given how stretched we are at the moment.

His response...


...let Israel occupy them.


My response: it would take every man, woman, and child in Israel to subjugate a country the size of Iran if they could do it at all. Which would leave Israel itself open for attack.

Come to think of it that would be the best thing ever for the Arab countries: no more Israel and no more Iran.

I'm quite ignorant of the US Embassy locations and even I knew that. Someone should tell her we don't have one in North Korea before it's too late. sad

I think the solution is far simpler than that. Since there is a large portion of Iranians that do not wish to maintain the current government, you just have to get the government to surrender/abdicate their positions. Then make sure the people hold fair elections and be done with it. I want donuts.

It probably would be that easy, actually. If we actually planned it out like Mo-Fos, we could take out the majority of their government officials in the time span of a few hours: mass assassination.

I know how you can take care of Iran.

Instate a dictator in a country right next door (probably Iraq since it's now yours) to invade them...you know, get the banks to loan him lots of money would boost the economy as well, and then he could use that money to buy old shitty weapons you can't sell.

That way he'll be able to fight Iran, but can't fight you because he owes you money and you have better weapons anyway, and his country could need water supplies and construction services American corporations could sell him such as Halliburton and Bechtol.

However, you have to make sure he wins, otherwise Iran will get super pissed off (again) and Iraq might invade Kuwait. Which we dont want because the amount of oil the UK and the USA get from that country is not only the reason we're so powerful, but also the reason Iran is pissed off at us in the first place! If that happens, you might have to start Iraq all over again.

Ron Paul is the only candidate who is explicitly okay with genocide...

He is exactly of the "watch the world burn" mentality.

Omega Vision
There's a huge difference between meddling and nation building and serving as a bulwark for democracy and an insurance policy against atrocities...damned if just about any politician (or the average American that I know of) understands it.

Ron Paul is the opposing vice to that of Santorum's "nuke everyone who doesn't roll over and beg for a treat" rhetoric.

Not really. In all cases, the Republicans would only interfere with genocide if it benefited American interests (this is true throughout American history; even the great FDR rejected the chance to interfere with the holocaust until it was politically beneficial to do so). I bet all of them are in favor of celebrating Columbus day even though his genocidal exploits are legendary. If anything, Paul has the most just policy of any of them.

Which doesn't say much.

Paul was very clear that if he had been president he would never have interfered with Hitler's right to go through with the Holocaust.

Actions speak louder than words. He has no interest in stopping genocide. He has no interest in purely symbolic measures to condemn genocide.

It's pretty simple: If you think the US should take a position opposing genocide, oppose Ron Paul.

No, he's absolutely not. He may watch the world burn, but the point of the Joker is that he WANTS to watch the world burn, very different.

Ron Paul is nothing if not lawful, and the Joker nothing if not chaotic. Whether good, neutral or evil, now there we can have a conversation.

Really, man? Really?

Cause he kind of explained his "actions" in the video that directly addressed the commonly touted Evangelical Republican criticism (something I get to hear quite often in Oklahoma).

It's quite dishonest and disingenuous to say Ron Paul supports Genocide. It's the type of shit that you would expect someone from Fox News to say, but not anyone trying to be serious.


Here's what the argument boils down to (another strawman):

Husband: Let's go get icrecream, kids.
Wife: No, they can't. They need to eat dinner first.
Husband: WHAT IS THIS? You are going to deny our children the opportunity to eat food??? You evil BASTARD! They are our CHILDREN FFS!
Wife: facepalm





Wait, wait...I know what's up.

So the NH exit-polls are starting to come in. Romney seems to be killing the competition with either Paul or Huntsman (?) in a close second place depending on who you ask.

I've never followed these things in much detail before and its crazy how fast poll numbers change. Gingrich's NH numbers spiked about two weeks ago and now he's plummeted. Similarly Huntsman was in the single digits early on and now is a contender. On the other hand Romney and Paul have very consistent numbers. I'm not sure what to take from that. Maybe the others are sweeping voters around with ad campaigns while Romney and Paul are voted for on more of an issue basis?

I tell you what to make of it. The people that vote for Romney and the people who vote for Paul are decided and will stay with their candidates. The rest try everyone that's not Romney (or so far Paul, though they might try Paul still).

This chart from Real Clear Politics of the South Carolina primary says it all:

http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa158/Bardock42/RCP.jpg

They tried Perry, they tried Cain, they tried Gingrich, they might try Santorum next. And when the ads come in and more info on the candidates comes out they drop them and cry that it's going to be Romney

dadudemon
I re-thought my position: I think debates between Obama and Romney might be interesting as well. By interesting, I mean, "Romney will be able to contend with Obama."

I still think Ron Paul would be best suited to debate with Obama because he would provide the greatest contrast and criticism of Obama. The problem with Paul is his elocution. He kind of stutters through some of his points and is not as eloquent as I would like him to be.

Weird. I've heard people saying now that the candidates are really only vying to be the most overtly Christian or "family values", rather than making specific policy statements.

I don't think the courts would allow any such violations, though, from the sounds of the article, such statutes already exist and are just ignored. Either way, it seems like a really easy thing to promise for a sound bite that these guys have to know would never be possible to implement.

Probably on youtube as well by now.

These debates are clearly baised against Paul. Its ran by fox afterall. I seriously have no idea why Perry is even therel. All he is doing is using Ron Pauls words, that man is a joke. When Paul finally gets camera time the man has to speed up his words just to get at least half of what he wants to say out there.

Romney and Gingrich preaching about our enemies and defeating them yet never have fought in battle themselves.

Ron Paul RAPED the twitter polls at the end of the debate. RAPED.

He's doing great. One by one the candidates fall and now there are 4. Newt has some ex wife problems that will expose him. Mitt is already getting exposed. Santorum... well.. yeah. To simply say he has no chance somewhat insists that no one should try. That would just be stupid. RP supporters just need to work harder if they want to see something done. Keep spreading the word. They got him this big already compared to 2008 and prior. The internet generation has grown up.

Does that really count? He isn't President yet and he can only make her part of the administration if he wins.

Obviously if this is taken seriously (which I doubt, because a law against political favors is more doomed than a nonagression pact with Hitler) he'll just pay the fine rather than go to prison.

Of course nothing is going to happen, he's white, rich, politically connected, he could beat someone to death and walk free. But he broke the law, even if he would try to weasel out of it like a true politician.

Lets be honest, just a couple days ago he most definitely co-ordinated with his super-pac, also illegal.

Ushgarak
Yup, saddening just like that.

It very much is NOT the law and it is remarkably silly that a bunch of excitable people are thinking it is. Your interpretation of that statute is useless. People are allowed to say who they intend to appoint.

Mairuzu
Oh but it is.


edit: Newt going for a 4th wife?

Ushgarak
No it is not. And this is a problem we have in society, to be honest- the spreading of this kind of ignorance. People are so keen to try and 'catch out' those they see as the enemy that they will bend any truth to try and portray them as guilty and then cry off about corruption or unfair privilege as being the only reason they were not held accountable, when the simple fact is that they did nothing wrong in the first place.

Mairuzu
I don't believe thats the problem with society at all. Sounds like something you're just throwing out there to prove your point. Would you rather keep free information secluded?

The way I understood it is that he seems to try to get tea party voters by embracing one of their idols and promising a spot for her if he's elected (as well as perhaps getting her to fully endorse him).

To be honest I don't understand why that is wrong, but that seems to be what that paragraph is talking about. Besides having read and heard that from multiple commentators, that's also how I'd interpret that law.

Do you think it just doesn't apply? What circumstances do you think it would apply in?

Ushgarak
It's most definitely a problem and one I see going on very regularly. People will happily argue from a position of ignorance because it fits their anti-establishment position. I have no idea what your question has to do with anything at all; you are the one trying to interpret a law designed to stop people using Federal money for patronage as meaning "You are not allowed to say who you would appoint", which is a clear free speech violation.

No, that's incorrect; the law has nothing at all to do with getting support from the voters. All of those laws are designed to stop you getting people to vote for you by offering them a specific job with federal money. They are designed to stop patronage and trying to apply them here is absurd.

Mairuzu
But it does

inimalist
I get Ush's point, and from certain interpretations of what that says Newt really isn't violating the law as it doesn't look like he was making deals with Palin to gain political support.

However, I think the larger point is that such nuance and protection is really only something offered to the elites in society, as there are instances of far more egregious applications of the law against the general population than it would be to hold Newt in violation of this statute.

I honestly think Sym said it best in terms of the realpolitik here:

Though presumably Palin will vote for him.

I'm with dadude the wording of the law doesn't seem to leave any room for political appointments. Is there legal precedent for the use of USC 18 29? Between 597, 599, 600, and 602 all political "wooing" would almost have to be illegal. Obviously this can't be the case (or every candidate would be arrested) but I don't really see the specific reason that it isn't.

to be fair though, the practices of most major banks "technically" broke the law so bad they crashed the world economy, yet the administration adamantly refuses cuffs or lawyers. Or, for instance, the illegal actions of the Bush administration, or Nixon, etc.

It really doesn't matter what the law is with powerful people.
