Would Ron Paul suffacte Barack Obama in a debate?

  1. Yes, even with teleprompters helping him, RP wins easy.

    50 vote(s)
    71.4%
  2. No, Obama is way too smooth to lose. I'm hooked.

    14 vote(s)
    20.0%
  3. It would be a tie and we'd need Howard Sterns' vote to break it.

    6 vote(s)
    8.6%

    I say yes.


    Ron Paul has way too much experience with this nation than Obama ever will. Simply because he was a Military medic and war vet. that's speaks volumes alone.

    To say he has no idea about Foreign Policy is just plain silly. Especially when Barack Obama was elected off his charm and nothing else.


    sound off. especially you Ex-military people. I wanna hear your voice.

    He probably would, but you would never hear about it.

    Depends if the people listening are going to vote for the generic sound bites of Obama, or the in depth specifics that Ron Paul says. "Yes we can" vs "we need to do 'this, this, and this' to get America running again".

    Intelligence wise, Ron has Obama hands down.

    I would love to hear the part about returning to the Constitution vs bypassing Congress and ruling by Executive Order.

    I say No.
    Obama would destroy Paul.

    Paul would probably nod off after 10 minutes..giving Obama the win by default .
    A simple Obama point.
    At the end of a 12 hour day who do you want driving a car..a youthful experienced driver...?

    Or a tired old man ?

    end of debate.

    Poor analogy, seeming how driving a debating are two totally seperate things. And saying Obama is "experienced" is laughable.

    But not the end of your obsession with Ron Paul.

    Tired old man? He challenged every one of the other candidates to a 20 mile bike ride in Houston on a summer day. No takers.... :rolleyes:

    I voted for Howard Stern...seriously, though, it is one debate I would pay to see and I have a feeling it would be cordial, informative, and influential.

    Presidents have been ruling by EO for quite some time. It's part of how the system has been corrupted.

    Is that smart ?

    A 20 mile bike ride in Houston on a summer day..with heat indexes in the 100's ?? or Just because you can do that, Should you ?

    The ability of the young to stay awake and make major decisions when faced with that 2 Am phone call is valid.
    The daily grind of the office IS something to take into consideration.
    I wouldn't hire a mid 70's guy to do anything a younger ..more experienced guy can do better.


    A older LESS EXPERIENCED man I wouldn't trust at the wheel is also valid.
    Obama now has more executive experience than Paul has..FACT.

    I wont over look that and neither will others.

    You base everything off of Fantasy and "Experience" rather than Logic and Principle no wonder you see everything the way you do. Probably a go figure why I saw a Ron Paul sign spray painted completely over and across the street a Romney Sign... must be a Romney thing. Oh crap did I pull a Dujac card?

    Using a war game scenario is bad for your guy because you and he HAVE no answer.
    Hiding behind some principle of the constitution while the country crumbles wont quite cut it.
    Playing ..with us using all the rules of civilization might SEEM great but in the real world the other side often cheats and you die.
    I need to know Paul will do what ever it takes to keep me and my family safe.

    and I haven't heard that yet.
    I doubt the Jews haven't heard it yet.

    But the other guys certainly have.

    Logic and Principle are like education and book learning.
    You can teach it all day long..
    Using it to keep a country safe and working might take more than reading a few books.

    I don't think you understand that "the country" and your family aren't the same thing.

    You would rather see the USA turn into the "Barbarians" we loathe in order to defend our Civilization from crumbling? The way you put it feels as though you're willing to allow US Soldiers to kill innocents because there is a chance they may just get one "Bad" Guy in the mix. How is your ideology different from those of Bin Laden and his "followers"?

    Also Logic is derived not completely from Books/Education it's something you take part of you when you face new experiences. Also comparing Principle to the same terms... How laughable. I guess if you want to keep it in those terms I guess Romney has had no Education or has read no books other than Battlefield Earth.

    Ron Paul isn't beating Rick Perry, Rick Santorum or Michele Bachman in debates, no way he'd beat Obama.

    In most cases "doing whatever it takes" to keep us safe involves minding our own business and not try to Police the world.

    A LOT of the agression towards America is because we meddle in their affairs too much.

    How would you like if China came over here and started a war between Missouri and Colorado? then sided with Colorado and supplied them weaopns? going to war in the middle of the country and cops blocking roads to keep the rest of us from drifting into the war zone? and what about those in the middle of the warzone?

    RP, while a nice and honest guy, wouldn't stand a chance in a debate against President Obama. RP would shoot from the hip and Obama would deflect him by rationalizing. RP comes across as an aging, angry, white guy; Obama wins hands down in my opinion.

    At this point in our economy, we need somebody to shoot from the hip because Obama is just too soft on the Fed. printing money like a newspaper and will devalue it to such. $.50cent. and I'd be surprised if the dollar is worth even that much now.

    What does his race have to do with it? What does his age have to do with it?

    Good grief, "our" civilization deserves to crumble into tyranny and barbarism if it's dominated by these values and standards.

    Age and experience sheep..
    Age and experience.

    Paul will be old..really old..and he hasn't the Executive experience Obama has.

    Pt. Obama.
    Age determines ability to do the work..as in other jobs there is a AGE limit..
    Ever wonder why?

    Paul's life experience in no way gives him any edge to be an effective president.Heck he isn't an effective congressman.
    Obama will press him on what he has done..just like I have..and all you have is that he has read books..and advocates cutting defense and leaving Israel on the hook.
    Obama will say he supports Israel and will win the Jew vote over Paul.
    Pt. Obama.
    Defense.. Obama will say he kills bad guys and brought home the troops.
    Paul will counter we shouldn't have been there in the 1st place
    Voters will go with Obama over this peacenik Paul plank.
    Pt Obama.

    Border security..Tie.
    Pt to the incumbent.
    Pt. Obama.

    Money ..Paul has little ..Obama lots..
    Pt. Obama.

    Imagine Paul telling all those kids they wont get student loan help..no Housing help..No Fema help..no education dept help.

    Obama will make more promises..
    Obama wins.
    Paul will have no republican help..No wall st. help..no bank help..and nothing to back his legislation up..the democrats will sit back and obstruct.
    The economy will tank.
    More.

    Obama will point all this out..
