2007 NH Democratic Presidential Debate (Part 5)

[thechris104]

John Edwards talking about honesty lol

[paperhandsunion]

Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, and Mike Gravel are the ONLY people with a SHRED of truth in the entire debates. Btw Bill Clinton bombed Iraq ILLEGALLY during the 90's so I don't wanna hear a peep from Hillary because she didn't denounce that well-known fact.

[mucanamnam]

I feel bad for Mike Gravel cause no one asks him the good questions. :'(

I think this is when people say....

DAMN.

[rsaettone234]

I thought Clinton was a complete racist in this debate. There are some things she said that pissed me off. And some of those things literally made my jaw drop. I'm so glad she isn't President. Not that I'm happy with Obama as President....

I would've loved to see something like Obama/Edwards for the Democrats. (Even though Edwards was involved in that affair.) And a great team for the Republicans would have been Giuliani/Romney (or the other way around) or Ron Paul/Mike Huckabee.

[rsaettone234]

Scratch that.... Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee probably wouldn't have worked out because of Huckabee's religion. He's one of those that's over the top with it.

[Denouncethemachine]

The Americans who see through Obama are either called racist or simply spoilers of a democratic white house.

[NYJared04]

Obama voted to reauthorize the USA Patriot Act.

Obama has refined his positions on FISA, Iraq, NAFTA, and Gitmo to be a clone of George Bush.

Obama got endorsed by Clinton, Specter, Feinstein and all of them voted for the Kyl-Lieberman Amendment which gives the US the license to attack Iran.

Obama offers us the false hope that we all desire for. However he's sold out and refined his positions just to maintain the status quo.

[beefwellingtonjr]

obama yes we can yes we can yes we can yes we can yes we can

[mustainestheone]

Jeez, can't you people see through Obama? I'm British and he reminds me so much of Tony Blair. All Obama's doing to get himself elected is saying completely hollow and meaningless slogans like "a new politics" and "change". There's no substance in him at all.

[beefwellingtonjr]

pm me and we'll have an interesting conversation.

[Transfectingood]

yes we did?

[urbanfleur]

haha the poor guy and his mic. he's pissed.

[Gunnyster]

I find Clinton to be rather arrogant, and while I remember FDR being influenced by his wife, I do not like the extent to which Hllary is involving Bill in her campaign. I find Obama to be energetic and an integrated person. Beyond that, Edwards is in my favor (though I think he may have dropped out, I'm not sure).

[Gunnyster]

Besides the Democratic candidates, the Republicans that I find to be the best candidates to be Huckabee and McCain. I could tolerate Romney but I'd rather him not be president.

[Amebixfan]

These candidates are all Manchurian Candidates (Obviously not talking about Gravel and Kucinich)

[amashimaro13]

Hillary is the best choice for president!! When are we ever going to get a chance to elect the 1st women president???? This is it...obama can always run next yr,,besides obama does not have enough experience in the politcal field....he is just smart..thts all...Hillary has the experience and the intelligence(yale) to be the president of the U.S.!! Dont regret later and vote for hillary!!! Dont vote for the wrong personn..VOTE FOR HILLAry!

[banjojanjo]

Well that experience hasn't seemed to pay off in the senate. She hasn't brought all the change she (and Obama) are always talking about.

If you want a candidate that's always stuck to his principles and would get the federal government off your backs, vote Ron Paul.

PS I'm not a spammer, he has some of the most experience in the field and he actually tries to do stuff with it.

[brian198777]

hilitary clinton is an idiot

[marcorpentertainment]

Come on people, lets go back to when we first heard of WMD and Iraq. Over 65% of this country said the same thing and that we should go to war. So dont blame Hillary, we were all misguided. Whether you claim you were wrong or misled both are ultimately true!

[banjojanjo]

Ya and even though Obama said he was against the war and wants change, he still voted to renew the Patriot Act

[Ddstairclimber]

@marcorpentertainment that's not the issue, the issue using war in preemption is wrong, and is what dictators do, that's why hiter invaded poland. if u worry about someone building a wepon and u have to attack, the same is true from the perspective of the other. if they would have had some weapons, so what, the american empire has thousands more. yeas it was a bad dictator, but no more than half supported that, those who were, were morally bakrupt or easily brainwashed by propaganda

[puellagina]

did you purposely cut out what Hillary Clintons speech?

[stepha1231]

I don't personally have anything against Hillary Clinton, but I think that a Presidential Candidate needs to take responsibility for the decisions that they make as a Senator. She CANNOT blame President Bush for her past errors. She needs to be a leader and an adult and take responsibility. I like that Edwards can say "I was wrong."

[fullofwonder123]

I agree. It was very mature of him. I'm a republican, but if I had to choose a Democrat for President, Edwards would have my vote!

[jennricey]

I TRUST Edwards!

[jasonandmelodie]

i would choose edwards as well if made to choose a democrat. Level headed and the most conservative (read "sane") among them

[xWiseguy88x]

Though Hillary may not have taken responsibility for her decision I don't think that fact alone should guide your vote. She said that she was mislead by the intel givin to not only her but to everyone else there. I believe her plans for americas future will work in our favor.

[KerlyKerl]

it was a tactic

[lifestraight]

John Edwards seems to be a humble character. Whereas most politicians present themselves as consistent perfectionists who have no wrongs, he can admit to a fault. But Edwards approval of Obama's opposition from day one gives Obama more points in the consistency area. Even his running mates are co-signing him.

[jayezzo]

Take your country back America from the lying Zionist Jews of America, or you'll always be in the dark.

iamthewitness . com

[sogaender]

wtf... are you some sort of fucking nazi?

[sgandms]

If you are upset with the current candidates, check out Mike Gravel off-stage. Watch his videos, read his stances on important issues. This isn't politics as usual - this is a real guy wanting real things for our country. Today is MASS DONATION DAY. Please donate what you can at gravel2008(dot)us. Lets get REAL change in the White House and in the world.

[xanderdnb]

after viewing these videos more.. it seams hilary is off my list... what a capitalist prick who sucks the system... she sucks more than monica...

[grimwatcher]

OMG! edwards admitted being wrong, a politician admitting to be wrong! that deserved that round of applause, instead of hillary's : "Bush told me so"

[lightbulb369]

I will vote for John Edwards for president "if" he wins the democratic primary.

[floridafan79]

Why are we asking questions about Iraq, and immigration. Why can't we ask a question that is going to directly effect the american population from coast to coast. Can we talk about healthcare, education, environmental stewardship, and economic policy. We are all aware that our troops need to be back home, but hindsight is 20/20 and we have to hope they will be here soon.

[Sojaofdapepo]

exactly

[sanriosanrio]

Although the war is VERY important I agree with you. This shouldn't be a 1 issue debate. Now about the war....

we are already there. Either add more troops and make more efficient humanitarian efforts, or just leave and let civil war erupt over there. We can't half ass this war anymore. It isn't working. If they are really progressives and want to ameliorate what is going on in Iraq they know what they have to do.

[JetPixi]

My god..can they talk about something other than Iraq? we shouldn't be there, the end...

Now on to environment, education, economy, health care, etc.

[blackskullbass]

lol im with you

[Pilatocus28]

Vote for Obama

[moretylerplease]

Has anyone here checked out Ron Paul?

[icemanGFX]

We need democrats to get their heads out of their asses and realize how dangerous to our country Hillary is. Let her speak as much as she wants, so Americans can see her true colors. Don't vote for Hillary!!!!

Obama and Edwards have a realistic approach to things, they don't duck around questions, they answer them directly. Hillary was dumb enough to help get us involved in Iraq, don't give her the chance to get us involved in another war.

[chiladin]

I know right! I perosnally am going to vote for either Obama, Edwards or Ron Paul personally. Between those three i'm doing my homework but right now if the election were tommorrow i would vote for Ron Paul!

[JetPixi]

Agreed. However I do like Kucinich too. Check out his site. He has a good stance on sustainable energy and dipolmacy. however...how often do dems actually do what they say they will? in fact...how often do politicians do what they say they will? i sincerely think either ron paul or dennis kucinich would.

[blackskullbass]

i diefinitly agree with all of you. im also glad that you guys are the only people who actually talk about the debate. thanks.

[jessesowens]

"If I knew then..."

Give me a break.

viva Ron Paul

[hmoob7]

Vote for Ron Paul!

He is the revolution we need!

[ru429]

Edwards totally coopted the phrase that Biden used. And I love how they are basically only talking to Edwards, Clinton, and Obama.

[GalliumGnu]

They are mainly talking to those three candidates :\

[chiladin]

Yeah i peeped that! But those are the ones that will get the Democratic nomination!I would vote for either Obama, Edwards or Ron Paul personally! If Hillary or Guilliani wins may Allah have mercy on us all!

[stangboy34]

RON PAUL!!

[cosmo1pug]

None of um have answered any of the questions other than admitting they are wrong sometimes!.

[Elphie391]

Okay did anyone hear Hillary answer the question because I didn't.

[uchiaslayer]

damn thing wont load on my computer!

[rocksand14]

Obama is a really good choice. I think Clinton/Obama would be the best ticket. Then Obama could be president in 8 years. (As long as Clinton doesn't have an "affair" in the mean time.)

[godislove92]

So basically Hillary Clinton admitted she could be easily influenced, like she was by george bush. You really want her as president???? Vote Obama 2008

[voteforronpaul08]

Ron Paul is the only presidential candidate that follows nothing but the United States Constitution. He votes for, and ONLY for, things that are directly supported by the States Constitution. His voting record will show it! He is for small government, and wants to keep the government out of our daily lives. A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for the beliefs of our founding fathers,

RON PAUL 2008!!!

Good job at Alabama Ron Paul supporters, 81% of the straw pole votes were in Ron Paul's favor!

[cmbsoldja]

slavery included right.

[enlightenedpie]

Morals are a personal issue... Leave it out of politics... Oh, thank you blovideo, didn't see your comment there

[maddteacher]

After Bush cheats in the election, the Democrats give him the authority to invade Iraq. And Hillary says she did it because they all trusted him. So who is worse. A crook or a fool?

[uchiaslayer]

in response to maddteacher:a fool working for a crook

[blovideo]

MORALS AND POLITICS DON"T MIX - "NICCOLO MACHIAVELLI"

not said exactly in those words but yeah directed towards mike gravel.

[sparklytoez]

Let's get our heads out of the ground. This government system of ours has to be changed! The system only works for the wealthy!

DR.RON PAUL 2008!

[oldmancottonballs3]

Wow! Calling each other "cock sucker" is such an intelligent way to debate. Kudos.

[Jelloeyessuck]

Hilary is a stupid bitch! Stop blaming everyone for you're lack of moral code.

[mungbean4u]

You gotta take it, Barack. Over the top.

[eyeh8dog]

I'd rather vote for the lesser of two evils. After all, the devil you know is better than the one you don't. Pick your party candidate who is most likely to win, otherwise your vote is wasted on the other guy.

[overmind25]

No our vote is then wasted for the ignorance of this country.

[kardentyrell]

never pick the lesser of two evils, if you keep thinking like that, you'll always loose. Choose the one you think, nay KNOW is right. Then convince others to do the same, and the balls will roll towards redempting your government.

[uchiaslayer]

kardentyrell, amen! that is the way to go when dealing with stuff as important as government.

[TheNoTown]

The 2007 Drug Policy Reform Conference will be in New Orleans from Dec. 5-8 in the French Quarter. Be there and help end the failed war on drugs.

[Nepheshxoxo]

lmao face the facts! but true!

[michelle297136]

Face the facts that a democrat is absolutly going to win the next presidential election! I am so sorry you cant let go!

[overmind25]

I am liberal on many issues but Ron Paul is much better than Hillary or Edwards. Both are two faced fucks who knew Iraq had no WMDs. Gravel is my first choice because he is a true logical progressive.

[suckfist]

Right on!  Ron Paul 08!

[Stalley75]

Fuck Ron Paul; he's a lying cock sucker

[Jelloeyessuck]

do you mean me?

[suckfist]

And Hilary isn't a cock sucker? She has cock sucking on her resume. Just like I do.

[Jelloeyessuck]

haha yeah she does.

[DCUPtoejuice]

The congress unconstitutionaly gave the President the authority to wage war at will. The Democrats are complicit in that disastrous decision. Now, as planned, they call it "Bush's War". Ron Paul is infinitely more consistent than any of these democrats in trying to prevent us from going to war. Go look at his voting record and compare it to Hillary's.

[rationalthinker28]

Ron Paul speaks above all these goobers. This debate was dull. They pointed fingers more than owning up and answering questions.

[oracleofmist]

Amen, Restore the Republic! Vote Ron Paul

[jsutik]

elections can be "stolen" by distributing the voting resources, ie: voting machines unfairly. the average wait times are much higher in cities, which swing heavily democratic, as opposed to rural and suburban areas. also, because elections are on a tuesday and it is not a national holiday, many people are unable to vote because of work.

[xman1485]

Jewish puppets..

[trutexan21]

shut the fuck up...

[devilembace]

Hilary Hilary Hilary! She could bring America back on track!

[trutexan21]

too sneaky...too slick...

[devilembace]

lol, she doesn't seem that way to me

[LowBudgetPuppets]

This debate was touched on in our recent Week in Review. If you like hearing jokes at the expense of these assmasters, feel free to check out the video, even if you fast forward over the Paris Hilton stank status update.

youtube + /watch?v=harmHEbxmhI

[drewbowen]

vote Ron Paul

[DeadLions]

America is a country of immigrants. Never forget that. The only 'real' Americans are the native ones. You guys are failed Europeans.

[DeadLions]

Has anyone else noticed the bias of the CNN banners?

[WhiteRiott]

Ron Paul 08

[Aubby18]

Gravel is a bit doggish in his debating and but he has an interesting argument. Given the fact that most of the congress and most Americans supported the war at the very beginning (though we were misled) it's hard to trash the everyone and call them immoral

[Ak9111]

Obama08!!

[prashantsolomon]

Edwards is the best person to be the next President of the United States. He appears to be the most genuine and admits his mistakes easily. He is positive in his vision and can inspire the nation to regain the confidence and credibility that George Bush has caused to be diminished.

[mozartsnum1fan]

where's part 6?

[learsiad]

The CNN weasels are asking steering questions. They dont deserve to be there. If you ask a question that makes false presumptions then you are wrong in asking it.

[midnightbright]

cobrien1977-- It's suicide to stay and "force" democracy (cannot be done) and lose our soldiers in the process. The world hates us more daily. The main reason given is because of our occupation of Iraq. We NEED to leave and they can fight it out among themselves. If they want democracy, they can fight for it like we did. If they want chaos, it will not be prevented by our unwanted presence doing the Iraqis' jobs for them and building 14 permanent bases. That is what upsets them.

[STEVEN02151]

Terrorists are criminals, it's not that they are Islamic, that is just an excuse, good security work is what it takes. That's what uncovered the JFK plot, not occupying Iraq.

[Hobobob10]

I'll try to get Part 6 up tonight.

[JeffWiredBeck24]

Part Six please

[yesyes69]

looking for part 6 too

[evadepp]

hey is there a part 6???

[NJVREV]

Thank You Hobobob but all the replies are typical I am a Democrat I am a Republican, bahh, bahh, sheep. The real issue is Globalists against Nationalists. Funny how these candidates want to bail on Iraq but want to go into Darfur, using the umbrella of the U.N. I wonder how many of those troops will be American Youths losing there lives. Instead of wearing US colors will be wearing Blue UN Helmets instead

[lemonade17]

Gravel sounds like my grandpa when he rants about the good old days and shit.

[pagola]

HAHAHA FUNNY SHYT

[isyouis]

Thank you, Hobobob10! It's hard to stay up-to-date with the presidential campaigns in the U.S., as I'm currently living in Perú. I appreciate you uploading these debates!

I'd only ask that you'd upload the rest of it, please! :)

[Hobobob10]

Sorry, I'm so slow, I'm just getting this done in my free time, which I don't have enough of. :)

[spookynshadow]

Fred Thompson will be the next President of the United States Wish you could vote on youtube which one of these Dumbocrats lie the most

[cheesecake050]

After bush and the republican corruption of congress only an uninformed fool would vote republican

[cobrien1977]

you're right cheesecake, a louisiana democrat arrested today with $500K of corrupt money laundering...spookynshadow is right...thompson's reganlike demanor will anhiliate all left-wing loons

[280480]

there was way more reps arrested than dems here's a whole list: Tom Delay Bob Ney (R-OH) Curt Weldon (R-PA) Duke Cunningham (R-CA) Rick Ritz (R-AZ) Jack Abramoff Mark Foley (R-FL) Kenneth Lay of Enron Scooter Libby, President Bush's aide convicted today to 2 1/2 years on 37 counts of corruption. Tim Haggart Ernie Flecther (R-KY) Governor Indicted Bob Taft (R-OH) former Governor Indicted Tim Mancuso (R-NJ)

[Leahcim506]

If the Republicans want to keep the White House they should nominate someone closer to center (i.e. McCain or Giuliani), Fred Thompson has no chance against the Democrats. Regardless of who they nominate everything seems to indicate its a Democratic election.

[cobrien1977]

leahcim...i understand what you're saying but democrats have lost the last 2 presidential elections on national security. the fact is none of the democrats in the debate mentioned the JFK / fort dix plot, nor a DEVISIVE strategy for terror. just blabbing "diplomacy" and pretending to support troops while cutting their funds will hardly win an election. american public are too smart, and know just bringing troops home without considering consequences of withdrawl is suicide.

[breaks0]

Read Palast or watch his vids on here. The evidence is overwhelming that they were stolen. And they're workin on 08. I'll come out and say that makes me a conspiracy theorist, since that's what Choicepoint, the Bush family and their corporate and political friends are doing for em. Your country's been jacked, you on;y get it back by voting AND getting involved in the process now.

[cobrien1977]

breaks...come on, you seem too intelligent of a person to believe an election can be "stolen"...how can you believe that and believe in democracy? votes are votes. you must be suggesting some of the republican votes shouldnt count...and believe in democracy?? you cant have it both ways...and no, i'd never waste my time watching such rubbish.
