Thoughts on the Debate
Posted by Frank J. at 09:37 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (19)

My summary of how everyone did on tonight's debate:

Fred Thompson: Awesome.

Everyone Else: They sucked.

BTW, remember my great Fred Thompson t-shirt you can buy to show your support. Not only does money go from it to support your favorite blogger (me, Frank J.), but buying it will also help the ThoseShirts.com models afford pants.

Lastly, here's what Fred Thompson doing awesome at the debate looks like in Spanish:

!Que grande el Senador Thompson al contestar la Ășltima pregunta del debate!

I don't what that means, but it sounds about right.

UPDATE:

He did even better talking to Hannity & Colmes after the debate. You'll never hurt yourself with Republicans by overtly patronizing to Colmes.

UPDATE 2:

I noticed when Ron Paul got going on an answer, his voice would get higher and higher pitched to the point I half expected him to start crying like a baby. He really whines too much for a Republican.

That, and he's somehow collected every single nut with too much time on his hands in his cult of followers.

In his interview with H&C (all the candidates were interviewed afterwards) Ron Paul was upset that he wasn't able to stack the audience which caused him to rightly get booed at points. He also pretended to think his five or six supporters that stacked the FNC text message poll reflected actual support.

UPDATE 3:

Seriously, though, I thought it was a great debate and a lot of the candidates came off well. It's almost like we Republicans have a strong field with a number of great candidates (and Ron Paul). SarahK and I actually got annoyed when the DVR messed up and caused us to miss some of it (we were watching it live, but somehow the box messed up and lost the feed at points).

Rating: 2.8/5 (2 votes cast)

Why in kali's name would you want to buy pants for those models? Everyone should buy the shirts so the company runs out and then they have to take pictures of the models without shirts on.

Everyone knows that Ron Paul is the best candidate for president. He is the smartest of them all! Just look at what he has done, and he even was able to raise an astounding amount of money!

Ah, who am I kidding. The guy's a loon. I feel dirty for making that sarcastic and wrong comment.

#2 - Posted by: Rubeus on October 21, 2007 10:14 PM

We have to be careful about Ron Paul, though. One psychotic nutjob gathering a bunch of psychotic followers is exactly how Islam got started!

#3 - Posted by: Master Shake on October 21, 2007 10:34 PM

NO PANTS FOR SHIRT MODELS !!!!!

#4 - Posted by: CTSean on October 21, 2007 10:56 PM

It's Battle of the GOP Douchebags! Who won? Frank says Frankenberry but he's probably wrong.

Figures the Puritanesque conservatives at IMAO are eager to get the female models into pants instead out of their pants. Is this why you support Iraq's Shiite government so passionately - do you secretly long for women to wear Burkas?

[Do you really have so little going on in your life that you having nothing better to do that these pointless comments? Have you considered religion? -Ed.]

Ughh... you've become very annoying Sarcasm Man... I can't stand you PaulBots anymore! Why Fred! tolerates you breathing is beyond me.

I wish those models would put pants on, its indecent. If I had money I would buy a shirt Frank J.

#6 - Posted by: AR on October 21, 2007 11:21 PM

See what I mean?

Sarcasm Man - one of the first members of Paul'slam(e). Paul'la Akbar!

I agree with FrankJ's 3rd update. It was a good debate. Logged on here expecting more lively discussion; maybe everybody went to bed early.

We have a good field of candidates and it is so refreshing to hear a full evening of like-minded discussion! Even when I disagree with an idea from these guys it doesn't invoke the total body revulsion that I feel with the Democrats. Even RonPaul. At least he is a purist, and uncompromising. Loved the way the Ronulans stacked the Fox text-in vote.

#8 - Posted by: GrannyBoo on October 21, 2007 11:47 PM

Everybody chill on the "pants" comments, G-Boo is here. Besides, the Roe v wade chick sans "anything" more would probably stop my heart.

Fred looked a Lot better tonite. The thing that kept striking me was that the Republican group look like grownups.

How come nobody asked Mars how he came by the nickname Fred? RRF! or was it FRR?

Why'd I quit drinking?
Hi, G-Boo.

Hey, Wollf. Hope your corner of the world isn't going up in flames tonite. Oh, and with 3 brothers, 2 marriages, 4 nephews and a stepson, I know that pants are half of all y'all think about. Its okay.

Yes, our side seems to be the grownups, again. We always are. May be less glamorous than the whine and blame liberals, but we conservatives like stability. Most of the time. And they were funny, too. Genuine humor, not just pot shots at people.

#10 - Posted by: GrannyBoo on October 22, 2007 12:40 AM

SarahK and I actually got annoyed when the DVR messed up and caused us to miss some of it (we were watching it live, but somehow the box messed up and lost the feed at points).

Sure, your DVD recorder CONVENIENTLY stopped at all the points when RON PAUL said his best statements!!!1!! You NeoCons just don't want to face up that Ron Paul is a reincarnated Thomas Jefferson and the Consitution...Bill of Rights... I never voted Republican..I... ugh///ubRON PAUL rulzz...ack....ah ah!!!11!!!!!

#11 - Posted by: Ron Paula on October 22, 2007 07:52 AM

The Paulbots have invaded NASCAR. Yesterday morning, during the pre-race show, I saw at least three different "Ron Paul!" signs being held up in the background. Someone needed to take those signs away from the people and beat them with them.

#12 - Posted by: Steve L. on October 22, 2007 11:27 AM

I agree #8. I thought they all made good points, and the good-natured humor was refreshing. I think McCain and Romney were the most polished in delivery though.

I liked their bringing up the fact about how Her Thighness has no experience in running anything like a business, city, state, etc. Unless, of course, you count her time as co-Prez.

Newsbusters raised a good point about how her two terms as Co-Prez should disqualify her from a 3rd. Of course, since when have the Clintons let the Constitution, or just the law, dictate what they do?

Good debate last night though. I have no reason to punish myself and sit through the Dem one.

Whoever gets the Rep-nom will need to have solid conservative cred, polish in the debates with Hill, and a teflon exterior strong enough to withstand every single dirty trick of the liberal attack machine.

#13 - Posted by: Polly Esther on October 22, 2007 12:00 PM

I would like to nominate Sarcasm Man for Prez. Sure, he's annoying and hasn't ever said anything substantive , but so are most other politicians not named Thompson.

Just imagine the fun we could have writing campain slogans - "Sarcasm Man - when even Harry Reid isn't whiny enough!" and "SM - that'll solve everything".

C'mon, Sarcasm Man - if Steven Colbert can run for president, you can too.

#14 - Posted by: cptnmoroni on October 22, 2007 12:19 PM

Hey. Whoever the hell "Ron Paula" is at comment number 11, it damn sure ain't me, despite the use of my url on the post. Frank, I sure wish you would remove that link to my site.

friggin paultards will do anything for credibility.

Sheesh.

#15 - Posted by: LindaSoG on October 22, 2007 01:16 PM

I thought McCain had the best line ("I was tied up at the time"). He's trying to rehab himself for the amnesty debacle ("I got the message; enforce the borders"), but still hasn't apologized for campaign finance reform. I wonder if he realizes why he's a second-tier candidate?

#16 - Posted by: cknight on October 22, 2007 04:00 PM

Frank and SarahK,
If you would just pay for cable each month instead of "borrowing" it (not that SarahK's climbing of the telephone pole armed with Radio Shack accessories wasn't indeed noteworthy), it would probably not keep cutting out.

#17 - Posted by: Son of Bob on October 22, 2007 11:42 PM

First, im a Ron Paul fan
Second, Fox sets their system up so you can only text once, so Ron Paul followers cant spam the vote
Third, its amazing how much people are starting to hate on Ron Paul...almost makes them look scared

Lastly, I think Senator Thompson did a much better job this debate than the previous one. He was also one of the only people to actually answer a question given him with a straight yes or no. Most of the people on the stage either give a quick answer, then move to talking points, or skip the answer to the question, and just do talking points in their answer time.

LL (Lastly lastly) Ron Paul is on track to make at least 8 Million this quarter, so stop pretending that his supporters are spamming the checks...

On a sidenote...what does it say about a candidate if their so called supporters are not willing to give them money, are not willing to donate time, and dont even have the will to send in a text message saying they support their candidate. Why is Ron Paul the only one with crazy supporters?

#18 - Posted by: Brad on October 23, 2007 12:43 AM

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Ron Paul is the Linden Larouche of our time.
