Ron Paul & Mitt Romney win debate?
Ron Paul was ignored by FOX in the post-debate interviews and put down by fellow candidates, but FOX viewers almost voted him the winner! Congressman Paul pointed out that our Middle East policy is part of the problem regarding terrorism. This was part of a study as well as a CIA analysis of the Middle East, yet he was ridiculed by most the candidates.
NPR-“Since our invasion, suicide terrorism has been essentially doubling in Iraq every year that we’ve had more or less 150,000 American combat soldiers stationed there.”Robert Pape, director of the Chicago Project on Suicide Terrorism.
AC-Full interview with Robert Pape.
Do you think Ron Paul is right that the GOP base is shrinking due to the war policy?
FOX News -asked you to tell us who you thought won Tuesday night’s First-in-the-South Republican Presidential Candidates Primary Debate. With more than 40,000 votes submitted via text message, 29 percent said former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney made the best showing of all 10 GOP presidential hopefuls who made their cases to the American people at the University of South Carolina’s Koger Center for the Arts in Columbia, S.C.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who ignited controversy at the debate with remarks that U.S. policy had invited the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, came in second with 25 percent. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who strongly admonished Paul for his comments, came in third place with 19 percent. Arizona Sen. John McCain, who is the frontrunner in South Carolina polls, came in sixth with 5 percent.

Bart #98 If Americans do not have the fortitude to stop this movement in its relatively early stages, then our children and grandchildren will suffer the consequences.
That sounds exactly like the global warming radicals using everything in their power to make fear the dominant factor in our lifestyles.
Chris,
The difference using your analogy; terrorism is a proven reality, global warming is not even close to being an exact science.
I guess if you want to make believe the ice is still up there on those really big mountains, and still sitting big and tall at the polar regions, that’s your choice. And even when you do come around to believing your own eyes, you’ll refuse to consider what might have caused all that to happen and jump right into OMG! Panic and run mode, right into the fire.

You cannot control what goes on in any Country. All we you can do is not reward bad behavior by penalizing with money!
Under your logic and Hillary, you guys are pushing us to keep buying products from child and slave labor and hope it goes away?
Chris,
Bart has a hard time when you get past GOP talking points!
That is why he is the VC of the local party!
He knows his lines well like an actor!
Paul Wolfowitz, 2003:
John,
You have been toasted throughout this thread…if indeed my ideas are limited to GOP talking points, what does that say about you?
Bart
That is why the GOP will loose more seats and the White House. Because GOP leadership like you thinks you are winning the argument while not dealing with facts!
Has any one seen this parody yet on FOX NEWS after the debate.
WARNING! This is so funny you may bust a gut.

Mr Konop,
Whatever percent of US imports is produced by child and / or slave labor is obviously too much.
Can you identify what percentage that might be? Me neither.
So, the so-called solution of cutting off trade with everyone because we can’t figure out who’s doing what and with which to whom is silly.
Give it up.

I did not say cut off trade. I said put a fine high enough to kill the incentive to cheat.
David C
GREAT VIDEO!!!!
Davey C Rockett
LMAO!!
David C
I posted the video thanks jk
John,
You completely misunderstood what I was saying.
Yes, you can’t control what is going on in other countries so the only way to deal with it is to cut off trade with them. Free trade as you describe it probably has never existed and never will. Under your definition of free trade we couldn’t trade with Europe or Canada.

Why?
BTW I never said cut off, I said fine the goods high enough to take away incentives not to cheat and violate human rights. If I follow your logic if some steals you would give then the goods and hope they stop.
John,
If you give them fines, they are going to find ways to make the good even cheaper. Do you honestly think that would end child labor? It wouldn’t. The only way to get rid of third world problems is to stop trading with them. Tariffs won’t do a thing about child labor. The only thing they would do would is make their products price competetive with the factories in the US. Tarriffs could even encourage more use of child labor as they try to compete at a lower price.

You cannot go much lower on wages ( 28 cents an hour when they pay) that they are at now in places like Oman, China…..
If the fine is high enough it would be cheaper to give living wages out.
As I said would you keep giving goods to someone who steals from you.
BTW the IP theft alone is 200 billion dollars a year!
How do you ever win if China steals the IP rights?
Why then even trade with them at all? If they are stealing, won’t enforce the international trade laws then why should we even deal with them. Tarriffs won’t solve that problem.
And the could pay 14 cents an hour or 1 cent an hour. Why not just say “if you don’t participate in fair trade practices, we don’t trade with you.” End of discussion.
If we put a high enough penalties the problem will fix itself.
Also it lower tension with the people and let them focus it on the leaders if they do not raise standards.
Well John, if the people won’t revolt now at the terrible wages why would they revolt with tarriffs? It won’t effect their pay-it will still be cents per hour. Perhaps we should put pressure on their leaders by not trading with them. Losing those jobs, it seems to me, would have a greater effect than letting them to continue to pay poverty wages.

They are revolting that is why Chavez is a hero after CAFTA in Central America. The Oman trade deal is being used against us in the Middle East by Bin Laden.
Bart people like you are the reason I am getting out of the military next week. I have served 5 years 2 of them in Iraq (AND FOR WHAT!?!?!) I am done sacrificing my time, freinds, family… LIFE for people like you that dont respect the very thing I am supposed to be fighting for, FREEDOM! If you realy disbelive paul maybe you should read some history or philisophy, hell even economics. I’ll give you some names. Bastiat, Hayek, plato, Aristotle, milton freidman, Socraes, Adam Smith, Thomas Jefferson. These are the people who shaped our contry and I have read multiple works from Each and every one of them… Listining to you speak makes me sick, you are ignorant ill informed and disgusting.
