Pt 11/12 Democratic Presidential Debate 1-21-08

[andrewh817]

obama's last speech i agreed whole-heartedly with even though i don't support him

[theshermancrossing]

The problem is, you have to be a little bit elitist to wake up every morning and say "I am important enough to lead the entire country.".

[EtherealCosmos]

Or sick and tired of the way things are, but instead of complaining about it, go out and do something.

[Dominick629]

3 idiots on one stage... amazing

[theshermancrossing]

Well, if you're so Goddamn brilliant, go run for President!

DOMINICK629 '08!

You say 3 idiots on stage....but don't produce any reasons as to why...

By all means, explain to me why they're "idiots", and I'll respect your statement.

[Dominick629]

Obama has no experience or significant achievements. He needs scripts to be in a debate, he doesn't even know what his policies are and hes a member of the CFR. Hilary is a power hungry communist who lies repeatedly, flip-flops, plants ppl in the crowd to ask specific questions, voted for the Iraq war, and voted to make invading Iran an option despite being "anti-war" Also a member of the CFR. She and Obama have no concern for American sovereignty or the American ppl's constitutional rights.

[theshermancrossing]

I may not agree with you, but you have my respect. At the very least you know what it is that you're talking about. I'm sick of people saying they don't like a candidate because he/she has a funny name, has bad hair, etc..

[Dominick629]

Thanks. And i'm sick of ppl voting for elitist politicians and buying into their deception.

[Dominick629]

"""Well, if you're so Goddamn brilliant, go run for President!"""---I dont have the media in my pocket, nor do i have a 100 million dollars.I'm also not capable of lying to all of America on a daily basis.This is why i could never be president.Why do you think they exclude Ron Paul from the debates and ignore him on TV.Because he's not part of the elitist group of politicians.He's for the people thats why everyone in power hates him. Look him up and compare him to the others, youll be surprised.

[ncurry09]

she forgot to say that he also takes money from white supremacist...not cool

[RMMrMike]

You people view accepting DONATIONS as bribes or persuasions to opinions, that's not true.

If the leader of the kkk gave me 20$, I wouldn't become an arrogant white surpemacist, nor would I do that if he gave me 3 billion. Why do you expect the 3 people on this stage to be bribed into a sudden change in decisions? Quite frankly if I was running for president and the KKK started to support me, thats more of an outlook on them, more so then me.(ALOT more so.)

[TMack771]

uhuhhuuhhhuhh thats all obama said to me

[miki463020]

its because you are part of the uneducated america

[wowfreedavidp]

Please shot me if any of these people become president.

[quartermick]

They would love for the Republican nominee to be McCain because he is by far the most beatable. Anyone who thinks it's okay to dump billions of taxpayer dollars into Iraq for the next 100 years--as he has been quoted as saying--with the current state of our economy has NO chance of winning.

[PocketKitsune]

funny that the AOL poll showed Ron Paul beating all republican's, and Clinton beating all Dems.

Wonder which polls Obama looks at?

[LaWingman]

funny that you're looking at one poll out of hundreds... polls are pretty much useless... so quit nitpicking at unimportant details... try talking about how ron paul is fucking crazy and hillary is being a conniving biotch. lol

[PocketKitsune]

Actually I was making that comment to point out that polls ARE useless. Too bad you can't discuss in a polite manner. It makes what YOU say pretty much useless.

[weshoulddmate]

In what ways is Ron Paul crazy? He's got a lot of great ideas that make a lot of sense and he's for the people and for America. The media just paints him as a lunatic because he's not a favorite.

[Terry5135]

Ron Paul is not crazy. And he is a radical departure, which is good in itself considering the context. But he's also SO much of a libertarian and anti-federal influence that the poor could basically go fish under him, which is exactly what will happen when power shifts back to states. Kucinich would be much better.

[LaWingman]

Wow lol I'm really glad I got all the positive response. PocketKitsune, I don't mean anything personal. I just got a little annoyed watching the January 5th and 21st debates and watching all of the back and forth between Hillary and Barack. I was merely commenting here, you were the lucky choice haha to try and rifle back for Obama because he shouldn't have to defend matters unrelated to his policies in these debates.

[LaWingman]

And about Ron Paul - he's nuts. lol I don't mean his ideas are nuts. He's a Constitutionalist... very few should disagree with his opinions. But there's something about the way he carries himself that I think scares a lot of voters.

[LordBLB]

It would be kind of interesting to see Ron Paul up against any of the Democrats. Because their ideas are very similar. With the exception of "Universal Health Care" and the economy (which Ron Paul wins in my opinion about the economy). Would just be quite entertaining to watch Democrats up against a Constitutionalist. Good TV! LOL! *just sayin*

[mjbabb17]

lol you are just afraid of change.

[irkedd]

hillary is most likely to win the democratic primary, but she is LEAST likely to win in a general election.

both obama and edwards stand a better chance of becoming president than hillary.

these are the facts.

stop living in denial and deal with it.

[oz22verizon]

what debate????????? there was no debate without kucinich!!

[randomdude90]

Democrats would be extremely stupid to nominate Hillary. They will regret it. Polls show that something like 52% of Americans won't vote for her no matter what. She would lose.

It would be hard for any Dem to beat a McCain-Lieberman ticket.

[mistermig]

uh, hello, lie? clinton is actually leading in the polls, what world are you living in?

[randomdude90]

shes leading in democratic primary polls but im talking about the general electorate

[rawdawg15]

52%? What was this, an imaginary poll from the land of Make Believe, or was it a Fox News Poll?

[Ncbbball]

yea 52% my ass, i think he made that up to scare people who read that into thinking thats true. Clinton/Obama ticket would be Strong.

[travshorts]

ron paul's hands are clean.

[Leminem03]

obama makes racist comments about clinton? honestly? it was a joke I don't think that it should be taken further than that. The question was "do you think Bill Clinton was our first 'black' president?" If you listened to his answer to the question perhaps you wouldn't classify Obama as a racist right away. Watch the clip again.

[mjben0407]

hillary is a real EVIL

[monkeyshines4T]

Well Obama...I'm a "church people" and politicians don't define my faith...the BIBLE does!

[s4life]

That would be Huckabee.. Obama wants to reach out to "church" people, because he feels they have been distanced from the dems over a couple of diving issues, and he's right.

[chmwood]

Okay...Thanks for weighing in...

[pakarpis]

I like all three candidates but I think Hillary is the one who will be up and running the fastest. I think Obama has the potential

for greatness but he is still too young. John MacCain is too old to be president. Its a no go. John Edwards would be a great president later as well.

[MrWoozer]

Obama makes racist comments in debate about Bill Clinton

What if John Edwards said i can't tell if Obama is a brother untill Obama does a song and dance. The News would crush Edwards and ruin him.

But Obama made the same racist statement about Bill Clinton that he had to see Bill dance before he would call him a brother. Even if it was a joke. It show just how racist Obama is.

HOW about this joke Obama is a monkey. Not funny is it.

[johnmair]

*yawn*

[adisorhoot]

you should have used your 30 minutes for writing this comment in a better way...

[oroweat3000]

Mr. Woozer, did somebody make fun of your dancing?

[RoachAsylum]

Why does this Obama always sound so angry?

[mrmafiosso]

What are you talking about kiddo

[RoachAsylum]

im 34

[asier71]

Sorry Hillary, there is no way you could beat John Mccain.

[guppypartz]

Hillary Inc., yer not in favor of corporate lobbyists?? Ha ha ...
