Your glorious Loose Change Forum dictator...
Maybe its just me, but I would suggest to Paul to not always mention foreign policy on every answer in a debate. He seems to overuse it. I know its key, but to me you've got to say it but in a different way.

Your thoughts?

Maybe if he got more than 6 and a half minutes of camera time in an hour and a half "debate" he could drive home the single point that the majority of this country's problems are a result of our foreign policy since the end of the second World War. While I agree with a great deal of RP's philosophies and the things that need to change, the fact of the matter is, he is a poor communicator in this type venue. The story is complex and cannot be adequately told on television in any format. It will actually take the majority of the American public to sit down and study the issues and all the historical implications...but we all know that's just not going to happen.

spot on, i mean it's hard enough to explain things when you can sit down and talk to people without time limitations, on Paul got a few seconds to give his answers so he has to get as much in as possible.

Ron Paul must have been so frustrated last night, the bastards kept cutting him off, i saw Ron Paul roll his eyes in frustration at one point, also as much as i abhor Mike Huckabee he was also treated unfairly, although probably got more time than Ron Paul did over all, CNN is an absolute disgrace, we should bombard there e-mail in box with complaints.

Everyone and there dog know where McCainiac and millionaire Mitt stand on issues, yet they lets them ramble on and on and on.

well he is doing the best he can with the time he is given, which is honorable. but I would only suggest to him that he needs to do what huckabee was doing last night, and complain at least a little about the unfair treatment.

but then again, if he does that, he'll just be excluded entirely next time.
