Daily Show - Ron Paul 8/15 - YouTube

Pretty much says it all. Comedy Central is the best place to get your political news! Wow.

Repugnant Abomination · 08-16-2011, 01:29 PM

That is incredibly infuriating. Also hilarious.

f3lix · 08-16-2011, 06:56 PM

I'll say it again, I hate Fox News more than anybody here.

Cocktooth · 08-16-2011, 06:58 PM

Fox News is tabloid journalism IMO. I probably hate Nancy Grace a bit more though.

thekremlin · 08-20-2011, 10:29 AM

Regardless of who you want to win the election, don't you think that Obama-Paul debates would be incredible? Kind of makes me want to go rewatch season six of West Wing.

DLaw22 · 08-20-2011, 12:55 PM

John Stewart is awesome. That he constantly drops atomic shit-bombs all over Fox News is funny enough but the fact is that the dude is just plain hilarious. Period.

Indeed. The problem is Ron Paul is so bumbling and inarticulate that it takes away from many of his valid points. Obama would destroy him in a debate based purely on oration alone.

+1

It wouldn't be a good debate at all.

thekremlin · 08-21-2011, 08:47 AM

OK, so the debates themselves wouldn't be so good, but the election might actually be about issues, as opposed to just negative campaigns, fear-mongering, and finger-pointing.

f3lix · 08-21-2011, 10:10 AM

Are you guys nuts? Paul would CRUSH Obama, since Obama doesn't believe in anything. Obama would look better on the screen and the debate might not be entertaining, but Paul would just obliterate Obama.

Saint DH · 08-21-2011, 10:57 AM

Both of the candidates are idiots, so I wouldn't care to see either of them do anything but die.

Since when has a candidate won based on their beliefs?

DJ FC · 08-21-2011, 01:44 PM

F3lix, just no. Obama got where he is today because he speaks well. Ron Paul will never get any further because he doesn't. It's one of the many reasons I hate democracy.

angry pancake · 08-21-2011, 09:28 PM

Would just like to add that if Ron Paul's dad had also been president, he would get a pass on eloquence. He could even say nuculur every so offer as well.

I didn't see this one coming. Ron Paul could do everything that noone else can, except win an election.

No, Obama got where he is today by being great at reading a tele-prompt. He is AWFUL at speaking without the words in front of him and rarely takes a stance on any issue. Paul would steamroll him on that. In a true debate, where Obama doesn't have softballs thrown to him, Paul runs him over, pisses and shits on him, and drapes the Chinese flag over his body.

This is being narrated. Tomorrow.

Dude you're such a fanatic you're almost speaking giberish. In your mind, how did he become president?

Have you guys heard about this? Creator was on the Colbert Report. It sounds like a pretty solid idea, actually.

To phrase it more accurately: the general public perceives Obama to be a better speaker than they perceive Ron Paul to be, even if they have never actually heard Paul and never heard more than a soundbite of Obama. It's a pathetic and sad truth.

It is just one more incredibly insane and arbitrary box that has to be ticked by any major candidate; to be elected you have to be (rather you must publicly claim to be, no matter how much you die inside because of it) a christian, a full on "I believe in God for real" christian, you have to have one of two stances on any and all issues, a communist or socialist must never admit to it, nor shall an advocate of Austrian school economics admit to that. You must cry after you get caught with your dick in an assistant, etc, etc, etc.

You are nothing more then a fanboy.

f3lix · 08-24-2011, 04:39 PM

I'm not saying Ron Paul will get elected. I'm saying he's a far better debator than Obama. Beebs put it very well. Modern America thinks a "debate" is a bunch of canned questions thrown to the candidates via a moderator instead of just letting them discuss the issues themselves. In a real debate, Obama wouldn't even get elected to the senate.

Repugnant Abomination · 08-25-2011, 02:10 AM

You're confusing ideas with delivery. You may like Paul's ideas more, but it's his delivery that would "lose" him the debate. That's the only point being made here.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
