Clinton Staffer planted into GOP debate

    And they wonder why they are called the "Clinton News Network"? CNN said it had no knowledge of this...whatever. Anyway, looks like Clinton is already trying to derail the GOP.

    Not that I trully care/agree to what he said, but how does that change anything?

    Classic, twist to attack the person asking the question instead of actually discussing the subject at hand.

    --
    so someone who may have once supported a candidate does not have a right to ask a different candidate a question? That appears to be what is being said here..

    I wouldn't worry too much about that babs, the G.O.P derailed itself a while ago. ;)

    I just don't see why it matters who asks the questions. Better than soft ball questions..

    Kinda looks like the videos were mostly setup, from the reports coming out today.

    I'm surprised none of the liberals here are trying to downplay it. I guess most of them have switched over to the GOP for one particular candidate!

    Liberals, Libertarians, Republicans, Independents, Constitution Party, and many other political groups. He's uniting Americans for a common cause: freedom. It's great you noticed!

    He's uniting about 5% of the population. He'll get as many votes as Ross Perot if he's lucky.

    He should try raising 4.2 million more often as see how long it takes to bankrupt his supporters who kept their money in their pocket until one big drive was held.

    I'm still trying to figure out what freedom Ron Paul is offering that we don't already have.

    That's how far off you are, rip on the guy all you want but at least use something that adds up.
    5% of likely republicans who have previously voted, especially since some polls don't even include him in the polls does not = 5% of the population.

    If you're going to use an argument against someone, at least use one that makes sense.

    troofers, anti-semites, neo nazis, white supremacists, anarchists, pimps and ho's. I have no idea how much of a percentage these groups make up, nationally, but 5% wouldn't be an unreasonable guesstimate.

    Haha he's got quite the following, but you and the media single this guy out for his crowd and not his platform or him himself, why attack his support? He stands for what he believes and does not sway which is very admirable. He may have some things I may not agree with, and I probably won't even vote for him, but don't hate on him for something which he cannot control. Every candidate has supporters they don't want others to know about but the media seems to scrutinize Paul for everything.

    Ah there it is, I knew it was coming. Not that you necessarily have to agree with it, but how can you fault Ron Paul for having a supporter who is a head of a well regulated, legal, safe industry? I understand morally, many people will not agree with it (prostitution), but how does this possibly reflect badly on Paul?

    Also please note that once Dennis Hof gave his endorsement of Paul, Paul explained that while personally he would not endorse prostitution, and in fact, was against it, he felt it was not a federal issue and should continue to be left in the hands of the state and local communities. I'd argue it takes a lot more backbone and principle to be against something personally and still believe according to the Constitution its not in your hands to decide. If most Americans had 1% of the principles and morals of Ron Paul, our country would be in a much better place.

    Simply because they have nothing else on him, unlike others ;) Plus I find it funny for a guy who has 'no chance' the DP troll attacks him at every opportunity. Even here, a thread about nothing to do with him he's brought up.

    BTW while driving today I noticed yet another HUGE RP sign up. They are going up all over the place, still not seeing signs for other candidates.

    that's all GTech and his crew know how to do. they are great at sh*t slinging but when it comes to actually figuring anything out or getting it done they are at a loss..

    that's why you likely won't hear any 'conservative talk show' host endorse a candidate ESPECIALLY not Ron Paul, because they do not care to find a solution to anything they just make all their money by complaining. And these 'good Americans' as Hannity calls them, follow in their Holy Conservative War Against Liberals and take up arms as well by developing a thick skull and a narrow mind. Little do they know that's exactly what their liberal friends want because that will seal the deal for Hillary's 4 year reign.

    keep it up GTech you are a courageous warrior.

    Who was attacking his support? I was simply being aware of it. Would it not be an unreasonable guesstimate that the groups listed (listed only, I didn't attack them) make up 5% of the US?

    Further more, RP has made racist statements in the past that would certainly explain why some of these groups flock to him. Additionally, he has also pandered heavily to alex jones and his delusional bunch of folks in the past, explaining why another one of those groups flock to him. He's also made some pretty strong remarks about Israel in his past, explaining why another of those groups flock to him.

    They are flocking to him, for valid reasons. It's not the coincidence some would like to believe. ;)
