YouTube Debates More Like YouBoob Debates

I had high hopes for the debates tomorrow until I watched a few of the questions being asked by YouTube users. Check these out, chosen randomly. I’ll practice my mean and nasty comments here… [youtube oeI1njDouZA] My thought is that the President of the United States has no business worrying about the acceptance processes of [...]

Experimenting With The YouTube Debates

I think I may have mentioned before that I don’t really get Twitter. That may be changing though–I’ve actually found a pretty good use for it. Tomorrow I’ll be experimenting by Twittering the CNN-YouTube debates. I looked around to find a good plug-in that updates tweets every 15 minutes in the sidebar (listed under “I [...]


Will Ron Paul Be Left Out of Iowa Debates?

USA Daily reports that Fox News and the Iowa GOP are trying to exclude candidates polling below 5% from the December 4 debates in Iowa. I’m not sure whose poll they are using for this, but I’m a little suspicious of the polling process to begin with. Wouldn’t it make more sense if polls were [...]


Dennis Kucinich For Supreme Commander

I flipped over to the Democratic debates last night for a few minutes. I had to turn it off after just a few minutes due to the overuse of the words “progressive”, “tax”, “program”, etc. I even commented on Rogel’s blog before I went to bed that I just couldn’t take it. Too bad I [...]

I’m Doubting Any Republican Can Win

If you saw the debates last night you know why. Most of these guys can only talk about Hillary or Ronald Reagan. If they aren’t doing that, they are trying to squeeze pre-written jokes. Ron Paul and Tom Tancredo are the only two with anything different to say. Tancredo can’t get his ideas across, and [...]

CNBC’s Open Letter To Ron Paul Supporters

I came across this by way of Seth Godin who very correctly makes two important points. A web poll is nothing but a traffic stunt. Which makes this note from Allen Wastler at CNBC so ridiculous. They ran a gimmicky poll, the results didn’t turn out the way they wanted so they took it down [...]


Ron Paul at the CNBC Michigan Debate

Here are all the Ron Paul clips merged together… [youtube TgNLFtYoPAo] I didn’t get to watch this one because of work and rugby. Great answers on our monetary policy, and one of the best quotes ever…. “Why don’t we just open up the Constitution and read it?!” Did Mitt Romney really say that he would [...]

Ron Paul at Tavis Smiley Debate

I wasn’t able to catch the debate last night, but luckily we have a great clip series of Ron Paul’s performance. The sound doesn’t synch perfectly everywhere, but not a big deal. What a great chance for the candidates who aren’t being backed by the big money interests to talk! I for one am glad [...]

A Non-partisan View of Ron Paul in the NH Debate

From Justin Gardner at Donklephant Again, my advice to you Paul supporters is if you want to be taken seriously…don’t try to take the GOP back. They’re lost, and you don’t want any part of that mojo. Interesting, no?


Post New Hampshire Debate Thoughts

At this point, I’m happy for Ron Paul to stay in the race for no other reason than how much it annoys Sean Hannity that he always win the post debate polls. The only way Hannity could possibly be more of a nuisance would be if he changed his last name to Clinton. I’ll have [...]
