TPMtv: TPMtv Highlight Reel: Des Moines Register GOP Debate

[vgcq02]

Keyes is the man

[projectpk1]

WHERE IS TDWP?

D:

[WestCoastBeards]

i voted for keyes, but would have voted for keyes and tancredo for vp. i was going to originally vote tancredo for prez until i heard of keyes running. how come tancredo didnt get much coverage in this vid?

[xRevolutionaryWarx]

Look at keyes at the end....he was getting ready for a long speech..then 15 seconds please sen. mccain. LOL his face was like WTF bitch

[TheGrimAvenger]

WARNING: Very disturbed editor

[bonkabonk]

brilliant piece of editing but i have to question the decision to leave whole guiliani (or rather, 9u11an1 sentences in, TPM!

WTF is up the rudi love????

[ndesai256]

who said. "doctor heal thyself"

that was hilarious.

[ALANKEYES1]

Carolyn 'Wash Hag ' works for the Des Moine Register ?  I think id like a Refund on my Subscription Please ! What good is the Paper's Judgement by putting this Ego Centered Moron as the Moderator of this Debate ? This Woman is an Arrogant Condescending Beast Wearing makeup and an Ugly pants suit

I would never buy the Paper if this is the best they have , i guess id let my dog Piss on it, thats all its worth if this is the person they allow in charge of the News stories.

[bigfranky75]

dont get me wrong, this is horribly edited and the person who put this together obviously is a talentless hack, however.... it is still pretty entertaining despite its horrific production value.

the last few seconds is priceless when the idiot moderator interupts alan keyes midsentence of his final statement... the face he makes is alone worth the 9 minutes to sit through this garbage.

[ALANKEYES1]

Who in the world appointed this Egomaniac Moron as the Moderator ? She was Obviously clueless and had No idea how to effectively and Properly Run a Political Debate.

Someone should of poked her on the shoulder and said psssst...hey Hunny this whole event is NOT about you, its about hearing the Candidates , make a note of it toots or get the Hell outta here, You're Ruining the entire purpose of the whole thing !

She was beyond Awful, she Ruined it and made it into a sideshow

[djbro16]

whoever clipped this is missing a few chromosomes

[temojr]

30 seconds sucks

[Medium0Rare]

who edited this? its horrible.

[ogjimkenobi]

Oh my god, who the f*ck is that Alan Keyes guy? Where did he come from? Lol hes pretty funny, and hes got some serious balls.

[KRG5151]

He is the only serious Conservative of all the candidates. Squeeky clean Conservative. The rest have had jaded conservative voting records. Unfortunately his campaign went nowhere because the Republican party no longer has the stomach for true conservatism!

[ALANKEYES1]

The Repuke party is now a bunch of Internationalist Moderate Liberals who want Open borders and a Merger with Mexico !

Yay ok Morons now get out your yard signs that say Mccain 08 and go to the Rallies and cheer , all the while thinking hey at least im stopping Obama right ?

Lesser of 2 evils voting is reserved for Gutless Intellectual cowards who have NO principles of core values. Hey i think i just described 70% of American voters ! Yay ! lol

We are fucked with these morons

[WestCoastBeards]

the lesser of two evils is still evil

[beingisbecoming4]

Romney doesn't want you to know about this:

/watch?v=n5dscqcNOGM

[hollyhoodjoe123]

How the fuck are you suppose to answer a question about complex issues such as Iraq, Global Warming, etc. in 30 seconds or less?

The whole system of electing our president is a joke.

And btw, I hate to admit it, but Alan Keyes won this debate. LOL

[ALANKEYES1]

HOLLY, ive watched many debates, and this is absolutely one of the WORST moderators ive ever seen !

If you watch the Other videos of this same debate, she is a total Moron who thinks this whole event is about her . The Candidates all should have said 'Listen, we can actually do this much better without you, as you are IN THE WAY of any kind of information getting out there to the voters, stop this bullshit of attempting to audition for your own News show, and shut your Mouth !

[jakehr3]

omg there so stubborn

[pbcinla]

FASTER...FASTER....FASTER!!!

[Paulginz]

That debate was more sceptic than a court room.

If solutions to problems like education and immigration could be explained in 30 seconds, I think someone would have already come up with them.

[thinazzabird]

alan keyes stating all the truths that mike gravel is saying

[TranceDevotee]

ron paul! ron paul! ron paul! LOL

clinton 2008

[musicislife1604]

Bet you 10 Bucks, we don't see that Washburn chick at any more debats.

[GoMittRomney]

GO MITT ROMNEY, hear it for yourself!!! Go to mittromney dot com and watch the webcast tonight 7 pm central go Mitt! CYA there!

[GOPSpinMachineInOD]

The only things still made in the USA: Military hardware, little Mexicans, porn, and hamburgers!

[chasinwind]

I think in the future they should consider doing this preliminary party debates as a 30 minute 1v1 tournament rather than the all at once format. Let the viewers vote on the winner. There, now someone go become a millionare on my idea.

[cherob1984]

30 Seconds WTF?? You can't debate with that much time that bitch needs to shut the fuck up and let these guys debate. You can't talk about these subjects in 30 Sec.

[moducking]

I'm not an American and have no political agenda whatsoever, I am only interested in American politics. After reviewing the Republican debate I must say that with the exception of Ron Paul and Alan Keyes, the rest of the candidates have lost touch with reality and are simply pro-war idiots. The world and American would face a gloomy future if any of them are elected as President. I hope the American people will wise-up and make the right choice.

[jlharter]

Modern republicans are unpatriotic towards our American Ideals.

Modern republicans should move to Canada since they mistreat our ideals as a country! They are not patriotic towards America, but rather have some sort of ignorant prejudice and sense of imperialistic superiority, along with being cluttered with massive levels of gluttony.

[natalierules1]

i think Alan Keyes had interesting things to say, unfortunately it's the WAY he says it that's the problem. The editing was done very well! Ron Paul seemed pretty levelheaded, probably the best candidate in the republican party, although some of his ideas are pretty radical.... in a good way :)

[bfayer]

they way rudy talks you know he would do jack shit as president.

[Kayakgirl2008]

I wish we could have heard more from Ron Paul. That new guy is annoying and I really dislike him. He was a bully with time for the others and wouldn't listen to the directors instructions. What kind of joke is this guy?

More Ron Paul!!! Wake up Iowa, vote Ron Paul for Hope, Freedom and the Constitution.

[MSH786]

Which "new guy" are you talking about???

[rawdawg15]

I feel sorry for the country Alan Keyes was ambassador to..it must have been ImaginationLand from that Southpark episode.

[TubeSteak007]

Veracifier, you kinda' did us a disservice on this: I know editing was necessary, but this bordered on lame comedy. Please redo it for those of us who work 2 jobs & barely have time to search 4 these highlights on the net.

[w119jml]

yeah right

[soyouwannascript]

They're all a bunch of wackos. Am I upset that Keyes was limited? He believes judges drove God out of schools - what a fucking nut.

The Republican party is SO far out of touch with common people its truly scary!

[msbsevensixseven]

I love the editing job on this piece of shit.

[UTBESUX]

I have NEVER SEEN so many FRAUDS in all my life. Keyes and Paul were more human than the other FRAUDS. MCCAIN you should be ashamed! SOUNDBITES that was all they had. FRED siad the SOVIET UNION wouldn't back us if we went into Iran! What an idiot!

[TrustKovacss]

loved the editing job, it pretty much summed up how worthless it was. And to put the final nail in the coffin, she asked about New Years resolutions..haha wtf?

[SGT0311USMC]

How about, "Hillary do you perfer pearls or diamonds?"

[ptolnai]

Mitt & Rudy tell you what you want to hear - who knows what they'll do. Look at W's performance. Doesn't resemble his "promises". Only Ron Paul has a demonstrated track record of keeping his word!

[SGT0311USMC]

actually Alan Key's positions have been concrete throughout his political career. That's probably why he was edited out of most of this debate. Also, he is the closest in ideals to the founding fathers of this county.

[laleeloolelo]

"That's probably why he was edited out of most of this debate."

I think he was edited out because he's not presidential.

Veracifier is too kind on Keyes.

[rawdawg15]

Then you my friend are crazier then he is. Maybe if we make up a youtube acount and throw in USMC and make myself an NCO, people will take me seriously, right?

[jbiddleston]

Ron Paul is the only anti war republican, and tells it the way it is. Go Ron Paul, your a hero!!

[tomestubbs]

This nation was not built on God, it was built on enlightenment principles. God is not mentioned in the Constitution for a good reason because our forefathers had their own theocratic fascist king to deal with now we need to uphold it instead of letting W-regime destroy it.

[frodolinkimo]

Hillary supporters: marching orders are to remind everyone Obama is an Islamo-fascist.

That's direct from today's talking points memo. Get with the program, stop bringing up the drug stuff and let's tear him down using his religion!

Hillary '08

[RecessMonkeys]

Paul/Keyes '08!

[dgregerson]

I find your editing very obvious. Anytime someone conservative like Mike Huckabee or Alan Keyes tries to talk you edit them out. But you let the other more liberal Republicans spew "hot air" at each question. My vote in 2008 will be for the canidate who not only believes in what America was founded on (God), but is willing to fight to return us to those principals. My vote is for Mike Huckabee.

[MonsterSound]

lol

[knowyourunknowns]

Islamic terrorism isn't the only kind. Anyone remember the days of the Unabomber and Oklahoma City?

Rudy's playing the fear of Muslims card by putting that unnecessary qualifier in there. Just defend against terrorism, you prick.

[xVin89x]

lol the host showed no organization

[xVin89x]

lol keyes is running for republican ticket? i never knew that

[jklfdsa124]

Manhattan Project? Does he mean Apollo project?

And why did they include Alan Keyes? Come on.

[judithnathan]

Not only does Giuliani believe in torturing Muslims, but he would torture anyone who disagrees with a Giuliani administration.

[heckofanutjob]

Gee, I wonder why Alan Keyes wasn't in any of the other debates. Disruptive much?

[moejardines]

That guy is a joke, when he ran against Obama here in Illinois he alienated all but those whose only activity beyond work was thumping bibles, in this state, a distinct minority.

[jsfumato]

Show of hands....any one.....any one show of hands please

[Wizard364]

Hey Keyes SHUT THE FUCK UP when Ron Paul is asked a question and in general JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP! RON PAUL 2008!!!

[devilrulesinextremes]

I love the edit job. Classic.

Ron Paul was the only guy that made sense on that stage. And who is Alan Keyes? I think this YouTube video is the most airtime his ever received.

[Whoo69]

LMAO! Looks this debate was a huge joke. And that moderator was a stone-cold bitch.

[tomestubbs]

Your right but this is how they keep it within a narrow framework of soundbites. Nothing really ever gets said nor R real topics ever addressed in repiglican debates. What a joke!

[johnnyk67]

How'd Keyes get in the debate, but the DM Register won't allow Dennis Kucinich?

It's an outrage.

Paul won, but against those clowns it wasn't all that hard.

[tomestubbs]

Because Dennis Kucinich is extremely intelligent and ethical, therefore too scary for the other candidates who r owned by the corporatocracy.

[underweightHater]

thank you for cutting this together. my spirit could not have withstood watching the whole thing.

[daviedave1111]

A Gay Black Christian Republican running for president... How did he get in there??

[hypomanical]

God I love the editing. I love the end where Alan Keyes is talking and then out of nowhere: "15 seconds please" and then his face. Who let him out of his strait jacket?

[norbu2006]

Jaime Escalante & inspiration!!!

[BostonBeatnik]

Alan Keyes = Who?

Duncan Hunter = Nuts.

Fred Thompson = Done.

Rudy Giuliani = Asshole.

Mitt Romney = More packaged than a TV Dinner.

Mike Huckabee = Creationist. (Good for you.)

John McCain = Broke.

Ron Paul = Brilliant.

[ambientdiscord]

i assume the religious zealot on the end is full of hot air? :P

[exacerbatedtaboo]

Alan Keyes is a moron.

[jimmydean03]

This lady is annoying...

[mfyyre]

Nice editing.

[poncethegreat169]

u actually did get all the most important parts, thnk u very much nice editing job

[poltx002]

I'm going to vote for Keyes, how did he get into this debate anyways?

[jbowler1552]

and his lisp

[apathy1000]

the only thing transparent about giuliani is his lies

[seanbedlam]

Love that editing!

[oosh79]

of COURSE Guliani had to envote 911. He was a little bit indirect, but none these less, he mentioned it. What a low life prick.

[maldoror2013]

awesome edit!

Go Ron Paul 2008!

[alnewberry]

It's ironic that Keyes talks about reducing the hot air of politicians as he rambles on and won't shut up.

[bigge525]

Nothing like hearing applause at Thompson

acting like a child because she wouldn't

give him a minute to spin lies. This is the

same guy that knows better then 16 intel

agencies about Iran as well. So sad. LOL

[alnewberry]

I don't think it's acting like a child. Some questions don't have a simple yes/no answer and require some explanation.

[bucjason]

acting like a child? No, being made to raise your hand like a schoolboy is what is childish. This is a presidential debate for the highest office in the world. I think it warrants hearing these people EXPLAIN thier positions, don't you?

This was simply an attempt to corner the candidates by another liberal moderator. Pathetic.

[foodope]

Theres little time anyway for a real discussion on specific topics thus yes/no questions like this one can be appropriate because precious time is saved time needed for other issues.

[bucjason]

no , it forces you to take a simplistic yes/no stance on a complicated issue.

[lashdown]

omg that was painfullll

[intarwebzz]

those cuts of keyes saying nothing are hilarious!

[crazycatfguy]

If a country in debt has "tax cuts" that is money that is at least not being payed on the national debt and if you have to borrow the money to finance them you have actually increased taxes because of the interest on the debt and have only redistributed the burden to other people who will have to pay it back.

[Randomambusher]

Alan Keyes is crrrrrrrraaaazzzzyyy.

[Randomambusher]

Least organized debate ever.

[intarwebzz]

seriously, it's like geraldo circa 1987 up in there.

[inertia720]

kill me now. Or at least incapacitate Mr. Keyes. Find some duct tape or something. Did the moderator call him "Ambassador"!? No wonder the world has such a poor impression of Americans.

But Thompson was almost as bad. Oh this was a viscerally painful debate to watch.

[golguin]

Wow, this is good stuff. If only the Daily Show and Colbert Report were on to make the funny of this debate and the other things that have occured in the past few weeks.

[inertia720]

Amen to that. Perhaps the biggest sadness of the whole ordeal.

[voiyour]

lol, anybody want alan keyes in possession of the nuclear launch codes?

matter of fact, most of these guys strike me as unstable. and it's not just the editing. they are feverishly power hungry.

[stupidgirl816]

Too bad no one saw this debate.

[Blahcetera]

Hah! 6:52 and 7:04 were hilarious! Alan Keyes becomes his own parody.

This was an incredibly redundant debate. And that moderator was completely inadequate!

[Virginian9000]

without youtube, no one would have seen this debate, not even Iowans.

[inertia720]

and their lives have not been needlessly shortened because of this good fortune, unlike myself.

[huskercane]

Is that Alan Keyes, or George Jefferson?

Wheeeeezzzziiieeeeee!!!!!

[wchendri23]

Keyes: "hot air from politicians..."

Ron Paul: "doctor, heal thyself"

[chadagg]

Nicely done! Alan Keyes made it quite entertaining.

[SoBanned]

Hilarious editing. It looks like Fred Thompson knows nothing but can be entertaining. Alan Keyes looks like he was having a stigmata. Mitt Romney really is wanting. Naturally, Rudy is there with a 9/11 moment.

[inertia720]

entertaining?  More power to you. I was too dumbfounded by his answers to be entertained. And as soon as I thought about this in the context of his poll numbers, Iwas deeply disturbed.

I have to admit, I was extremely relieved once the TPM folks decided to improve upon Keyes' answers by editing them. Indeed, the editing for the whole thing is top-notch.

[garvess]

Keyes hot air emissions of politicians is a good theory!

[dingusmungus]

Keyes is a badass!!!

I <3 Ron Paul!

[PreetSG]

Brilliant debate. McCain and Huckabee shone the best, with Alan Keyes playing the role of the clown. Huckabee is taking it out of the books of Obama on uniting the country. I see Guliani and Romney leads just gnawing away... And Fred Thompson would have to perform a miracle to win Iowa.

[aphexmandelbrot]

This was the funniest debate of the season.

[roastbeef240]

Gotta love Alan Keyes breaking into Ron Paul's response and then he gets upset that he didn't get enough time. Then he just goes crazy, LOL

[lostinmaya]

THANK YOU!!! Who was declared the winner?

[aphexmandelbrot]

Winner - Money

Loser - Us

[BlueTunisia]

Go Ron Paul!

Ron Paul 08!!!

[momerath42]

This is the best debate highlight reel I've ever seen! I loved the Keyes breath clips and Romney "I want" montage.
