Republican Presidental Debate Iowa

[oldoldman]

None. bin Ladin was the joyful willing beneficiary of said policies when it gave him power.

Bin Laden didn't pilot the planes. People with a legitimate extreme hatred for America did.

[quannum]

think of the 2 most prominent people who represent the tea party. Michelle Bachmann's one, Ron Paul's another, slightly different on some issues, but in large sense represent the tea party

how do the paultards respond to rp's own son saying that rp and mb are basically representative of the same thing?

[aurik]

Probably agree, on the assumption that "the same thing" is fiscal conservativeness, and the differences are on other issues.

Also if you think RP wouldn't pull the military back in the pipe dream that is his election bid, you don't know RP very well.

[Plow]

Why? Because he voted against things he knew would pass regardless of his vote?

Sounds like another candidate with batshit ideology and no actual accomplishments I know of.

[Demosthenes11]

I don't even know why you are arguing plow. wtf are people supposed to respond with when how they vote and what they say doesnt matter to you?

[Day]

He's fallen victim to the ploy to make RP seem batshit crazy. He even used the term batshit. Nothing to see here, move along.

[Plow]

I'm the one falling victim to a ploy while some of the most liberal people around, who are extremely angry with Obama for not being liberal enough, are defending the most conservative, blatant crazy asshole running?

[Plow]

I don't even know why you are arguing plow. wtf are people supposed to respond with when how they vote and what they say doesnt matter to you?

I don't know, how about actual accomplishments?

Meaningful action?

Nah, fuck that shit, I want someone that gets REALLY LOUD WHEN HE GETS PISSED OFF AT PEOPLE POINTING OUT HE'S AN IDIOT.

Whos defending Bachmann?

[Plow]

Bachmann lives off farm subsidies, you honestly believe she's the most conservative person running?

[Plow]

Oh, my bad, I forgot this is BG, where how liberal or conservative a person is is determined entirely by how much you like them.

[Day]

I don't really know politix. I just trying to get laugh. I sorry.

[aurik]

He's only voted the exact same way on these issues since the dawn of the dinosaurs, but he must not mean it and is just saying this shit to get votes even though it makes him very unpopular with the republican powers-that-be. Sure, that seems plausible.

Are you like 20 or something? Because otherwise you don't have a good grasp of recent political history.

[Plow]

But dammit you pointed out a very common flaw with the liberals on BG for me, don't go rescinding and shit.

You're supposed to pull a Ron Paul and babble on about how evil Mexicans are.

[Day]

I do hate mexicans

[Demosthenes11]

saying RP hasn't done shit but you voted obama? confuse

Are you kidding me? Look at the votes he's actually succeeded on, and not a single person falls more in line with the GOP ever, period.

Further, RP gets virtually all of his campaign money from individuals. It's hugely advantageous for him to spout lines he knows are meaningless but get morons that call themselves liberal to give him money.

[Plow]

saying RP hasn't done shit but you voted obama? confuse

I voted Hillary, thanks.

[Demosthenes11]

People would consider voting RP because he is the only fucking potential presidential candidate (including obama) that would end foreign conflicts and get our hands out of the world's cookie jars. He would support the bush tax cuts? oh so did obama. gitmo still open? yup. He would try to end the fed? lol im sure congress would totally go for that. advocate states' rights? he's not the supreme court.

deregulation of business is the reason for the wars, you can't have both ways.
