Republican Nominees

El_indian wrote: one of the greatest speeches

so will other states get as much coverage as New Hampshire?

Yeah. New Hampshire didn't really get that much attention. It was obvious Romney was going to win it before voting started. The biggest one is Iowa because it's historically been the first state to have a primary. This year it got more attention because the race at the top was so close.

Iowa

Perry should just quit. He won't win and it's a waste of campaign money.

Paul's speech.

Yeah it's weird seeing Paul make a big old speech where he has to project his voice, inspire & use stupid cliches - he did well though.

All these political debates are making me get excited about the situation. I'm interested in doing a mock debate between forum members. Who's interested? We can act like we are running for President. Someone can act as a moderator.

I'm interested.

I think if we get at least three candidates, that would be good.

How are they making you excited?

Most of what they're saying is recycled rhetoric, while the rest of the time they're focused on taking shots at one another.

I like talking about politics and debating.

Fair enough. I find much of what they're saying nauseating, mainly because the majority of these candidates don't provide any realistic solutions.

What would we be arguing for? On what issues?

The same forefront issues that face the USA right now (i.e. foreign policy, budget, social issues, etc.).

This fuckin' dude...

Yeah I remember hearing that during the debate. He is like another Bush.

"Literally at the speed of light".

Did you see tonight's show?

No.

Well, I don't watch it all that often, but he was picking on Newt tonight.

I guess he made another comment that had racial undertones. It wasn't as blatant as the: "learning the language of living in a ghetto [Spanish]" comment.

Newt is an idiot. I just saw the clip on Iran and how Santorum was saying he hopes the US was killing scientists.

That was definitely a gem. I almost forgot that one.

He also thinks that the bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities would prevent a war with Iran.

He wants to reduce government spending overall, so it could include NASA. But he mostly talks about reducing the military. I haven't heard anything specific about NASA.

I saw the whole episode. The part where they show Newt apologizing to the Spanish community in Spanish!

He's trying so hard not fuck up, and it still sounds terrible.
