Who ventures over to freeperville? Who do they think won the GOP debate?

And thanks in advance for your fortitude.

1. Here you go:

Consensus seems to be Herman Cain.

2. That's interesting, thanks.

:hi:
I knew they weren't especially enamored with Paul because he's anti-war, but thought that they would probably go with whomever most vehemently disparaged Obama.

6. Cain also won over the Fox focus group

3. Wow and they say they aren't racist.

Here is a direct quote about one of the candidates: "Ok, he generally has the right policy positions. But does he have specifics? He does have the right approach - you have to identify a problem first, etc. But I don’t want to like him mainly because he’s black."

[TransitJohn]

4. .........

:wow: He's doing it wrong; he's supposed to preface that with, "I'm not racist, but....."
:banghead:

[NYC Liberal]

5. Yeah. Seems he's only the winner relative

to the other nut jobs.

12. OR "one of my best friends is black" but...

:eyes: Whew Boy...

19. Surely they will show this on TV. It is almost unbelievable that anybody would be that stupid. n/t

21. He's only stating a truth based on a lot of what gets said here...

or implied, anyway...

Which is that if you're a Republican and you don't like a black person...for whatever reason...then you're a racist.

Republicans who look at a black person cross-eyed are racists.

Make a comment that can even be the least bit questionable, and you're a raging racist.


Based on a lot of what I see here, if you're a Republican, you're not allowed to dislike a black person because it will all boil down to "racism".

I'm not sticking up for them, BTW. I just think hypocrisy sucks.

Ron Paul won it. He electrified the audience.

Isn't it generally conceded that Ron Paul's fans travel well? He didn't win the Frank Luntz focus group which went for Cain in a HUGH way.

They just have a hard, hard time with their native tongue.

11. HUGH is internet slang for huge... usually with !!11!!!!1 following

8. Tell me, did you really think he did all that well???

[TransitJohn]

9. I didn't watch, but was interested in what Freeptown thought.

And who is he? :shrug:

[Quixote1818]

14. The clip they got all hot and bothered about in the Luntz focus group was

Cain saying something to the effect of "Government needs to get out of the way of big business to create jobs...". They thought that line alone was brilliant! I hope he wins the nom because he is nothing but one GOP talking point after another. Short, to the point answers with no substance. Simple minded people always love short to the point answers because anything too complicated confuses them.

[Tunkamerica]

16. Simple lines have won and lost presidencies. No new taxes comes to mind.

[Quixote1818]

15. See my post #14. It was meant for you but I placed it in the wrong spot. nt

[gateley]

10. I read in Salon that the real contenders didn't feel they needed to participate.

The real contenders being Huck and Mitts.

[OHdem10]

13. Interesting, main contenders do not exactly meansure up to SC

Conservatism. Just wondering if there is avoidance going on.

[gateley]

20. That was the general feeling -- why open yourself up to questions

you don't want to answer, so you're exactly right.

18. "Freepers" and "think" don't belong in the same sentence together..

..unless the word "can't" is between the other two..

Just sayin'...
