CNN Youtube Debate

Is anyone else watching this? Because it's funny as Hell.

:EDIT:

One of them actually managed to jump from a question involving taxes to an answer involving Hitler. Y-e-e-e-e-a-ah.

:EDIT:

From lead paint, to tanks and missiles.  :eek2:

"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

It's on CNN. Maybe it's online as well....

Go to http://www.cnn.com and it's in the upper-right corner.

I think he means a CNN debate about YouTube, rather than a debate about CNN on YouTube.

BAHAHAHAHAHA

This is great.  Guliani even got booed during the gun rights debate.

This is probably the only time I've heard the words "God", "Jesus", and "Bible" repeated so much I think I'm watching some Christian channel.

How anyone can even think about voting for Romney is just amazing, this guy never gives a straight answer about anything. I know all of them are like that to some degree, but he is absolutly the worst. For example, his answer to the waterboarding question: "I will not give a difinate answer about this, when I am president I will get advice from others, blah, blah" He has no opinions about anything.......

Isn't that called plausible deniability?

Plausible deniability.....
Here's a question for you: Is Hillary Clinton for or against the War in Iraq?
Answer: That depends on who is asking the question.

Its true though - Romney is a very weak debater.  Way too wishy-washy.  But that's guff that I have will all of the Republican candidates (unless you count Mr. Ron Paul... but um.... he's Ron Paul....).  None of them have the guts to say it like it is.

But then again, alot of those questions are rigged (surprise surprise its CNN)- designed to make the candidate look bad whichever answer they give.  These mass-appeal debates are therefore, for the most part, completely pointless anyways.  Its not about what a candidate wants to do as policy - its about how they can avoid all the laid traps of public speaking.

P.S.  (another huuuuge surprise here.... /sarcasm) Hillary plants question in Republican debate: http://www.townhall.com/blog/g/d91f3cba-6a87-4686-92ce-70a16edc311b

Not really, a lot of these questions are about issues that matter to a lot of people (decaying infrastructure being one of them, and Guilliani's answer was sensible). 

On the other hand in the Fox debate, most of the questions were either rediculous, or just generic softball questions. They spent the first 10 minutes talking about who was more conservative, 40 minutes on hillary bashing, and then only 10 minutes talking about actual issues and their proposed solutions.

Welcome to the world of diversity of opinion.  The exact same and/or worse could be said for the Democrat debates in the "MSM."  ALL generic softball questions.  Oh lets see... what was one of them... oh yeah: "Hillary, what is your favorite type of flower?"

AWESOME... totally awesome.  I'll choose a candidate based upon how they answer questions like that.

Right.... like the non-Fox debates are any better...

Not really, but just remember: Fox is Fox. They're inherently at a rung below the others. Most continuous news channels are pretty damn crappy, but Fox just has an extra layer of bull**** smeared all over it.

I struggle to find any reason to dislike Ron Paul, he seems to make a lot of sence and seems like a very different kind of politician. He may be on the Republican side but doesnt resemble much about what what I dislike about them as far as I can see. When asked if he would run independantly he said that costs too much money.

Yea, but if you're going to vote for someone he seems like the best there. Ive seen videos of him from years ago and he's been saying the same things consistently for years. He seems honest and genuine not something i can say for anyone else there which just seem like slimey politicians. He seems to want to give real answers to questions rather than just dodge them like the rest.

I promise saying "let the states decide" isn't dodging the issue.   :rolleyes:

Hell a good amount of those questions were plants by Edwards or Clinton supporters asking questions designed to make the candidates look like buffoons through the typical cliches of what CNN thinks of Republicans in general.
