09-05 Fox News Debate Thread

[Brandon H]

I think the debate was suppose to end at 10:30 (Eastern) but just went over.

I heard the guy laughing as well. I am thinking it has to do with the fact that Paul's answer was not going to be what Fox was looking for.

I thought this was one of the better debates as far as the candidates' performances go, but the moderators definitely favored Rudy McRomney.

And this once again serves as a reminder that Fox News does not have a conservative bias.

Fox News has a neoconservative bias.

Fox just replayed the exchange between Huckabee and Paul and then cut off right after Huckabee said we can't lose our honor and then Paul was about to say something else. No bias.

(And I walked out the room and didn't notice that after hitting "Post" the red new post text came up so this isn't "just replayed" any more.)

Hannity after seeing Paul leading "Not this again."

Huckabee said something about not losing honor. Paul then said we lost 5000 troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I don't think saying Republicans are losing because they are pro-war, though true, was the right thing to say as it sounded almost like he was talking about what was popular.

Just read that Fox only allowed people to vote by text message once, so they can't say RP supporters voted multiple times.

BTW, next Republican debate is Sep. 17.
