CNN Republican You-Tube Debate -- Wednesday, November 28, 2007

[StateBoiler]

C'mon guys, punch each other.

[StateBoiler]

Mitt Romney:

"Every bill with pork and earmarks needs a veto."

He said it. Everyone remember that if he becomes President.

[StateBoiler]

McCain just slammed Ron Paul's isolationist talk. Troops to Paul: Let us win.

Nice line, John.

Paul to McCain: Then why do I receive more money from them than you?

I've never seen Grover Norquist before.

[StateBoiler]

Mitt Romney:

"Every bill with pork and earmarks needs a veto."

He said it. Everyone remember that if he becomes President.

Romney is a man of his word.  As President, he will keep his word.

He went back on his word just ten minutes later by supporting agricultural pork and earmarks.

[StateBoiler]

Ouch. Good Fred Thompson commercial. He bashes Huckabee and Romney.

[StateBoiler]

haha at Fred's video. Romney looked scared replying to it.

Huckabee is a lot smoother replying to it than Romney too.

[StateBoiler]

Romney -10 points Says he believes every word. Answers "yeah" to follow up question.  Mormon Mitt, what about the part saying that the garden of eden was in Missouri?

[StateBoiler]

The best response from Tancredo I've heard all campaign. Whether you think we should go to Mars or not, the fact that being everything to everyone causes the excessive spending is a good point.

[StateBoiler]

Technically, that was not the Stars & Bars.

[StateBoiler]

Ron Paul managed to include every supporter he has in his video.

I wasn't in it.

And here's the Stars & Bars for the curious.

[StateBoiler]

"American League fan" my ass! NO SUCH THING EXISTS!

[StateBoiler]

Go Romney!!! The Red Sox rock, the Yankees suck!!!!

Go Reds!!! The Yankees and the Red Sox suck!!!

[StateBoiler]

P.S.  If you don't believe me, the openly gay general CNN let speak for three or four minutes is the Chairman of Hillary Clinton's Gay Steering Committee.

Expect that to get more play tomorrow than the actual debate.

See, I don't get that at all if true for the Hillary campaign. Why deligitimize a man standing in front of the Republican candidates speaking truth to power so easily cause he works for your campaign?

[StateBoiler]

Edit:  I put chairman, the gay general is one of three.

PS: Huck won the debate.  I may post more later.

It was just mentioned by a commentator on CNN that said he was getting it emailed to him en masse. Anderson Cooper said he had no idea about that if true.

Dear God CNN, a little background research wouldn't kill you. You flew the guy there after all.

[StateBoiler]

Maybe someday all those youngsters who back Ron Paul will grow up and realize that pacifism and the gold standard aren't very good ideas and they'll become actual conservatives.  Here's to hoping.

I would have an ounce of respect for that opinion, but then I remember that the majority of war supporters would defect to Canada if they were ever drafted. Nothing but a bunch of p*ssies, all of them. War is not something you half-ass, it takes a national effort. And the fact we're being told we don't have to sacrifice anything here is both appalling and absurd, and if I were a soldier I would be ashamed to be putting my life on the line for a person with that attitude.

Any person that believes this war is important should get off their computer and go enlist.

[StateBoiler]

Any person that believes this war is important should get off their computer and go enlist.

I take it you have already - or intend to - enlist yourself?

I don't think this war is important.

My father's gone over to Iraq twice and will go over a third time next year. He has advised me to go to Canada if a draft occurs, which he thinks will eventually happen. He goes cause it's his job, and despite the fact he's voted Republican every presidential election in his life, he thinks this whole exercise is just pure bulls***.

Right now I think I'd just go along and accept it if I got drafted, I'm not a p*ssy like most Republicans, especially the country clubbers, who yell about supporting the war and the soldiers, and yet if were faced with the possibility of the draft or their children getting drafted would most likely move to Canada or call up all their political connections so their kid can get a desk job at the Minnesota National Guard or something.

I was watching some questions on YouTube, and during the Bible question, when Rudy said "I read the Bible quite frequently," I chuckled.

Also, does Romney have a slight cold or nasal congestion?

I don't know, but Romney really blew his response to the Bible question.  Maybe it was the point of the question to see if Romney would say yes or no.  Not sure, but I'm sure someone would have told him to work on a response for that question in case it popped up.

When they went to Romney on that question, I thought briefly "poor guy".

Then again, when you're the frontrunner, most every question is fair game.

Also, on Huckabee, why haven't any Republicans called him a tax-and-spender yet? That would be the easiest way to slow his momentum if you're Romney or Giuliani or McCain. He called the Club for Growth the "Club for Greed". Fred did last night in his ad but didn't follow up on it forcefully enough.
