I like the cut of his jib

Donald Trump debate beneath the office of the Presidency

But not beneath the Republican Party.

mrshowrules: GAT_00: "Therefore our candidate Ron Paul, the champion of the Constitution, has advised he will not attend."

He was doing real good before he went full RON PAUL there.

Champion of the Constitution
The Scourge of Moldovia
The Wiener of Wischester

What was will be,
what is will be no more.

WorldCitizen: Azlefty: I am starting to believe that the only thing missing from the GOP Presidential race is guest appearances by Snooki, Hulk Hogan and a very special guest appearance by Brent Michaels.

Your forgot Chuck Norris.

Throw in Kate Gosselin and I smell an Emmy.

/So glad I had to google her name to find out what it is.

//Also, up to this moment, I didn't know "Snooki" was spelled that way.

///I'm still human after all....

nvmac: WorldCitizen: Azlefty: I am starting to believe that the only thing missing from the GOP Presidential race is guest appearances by Snooki, Hulk Hogan and a very special guest appearance by Brent Michaels.

Your forgot Chuck Norris.

And Perez and Paris Hilton.

And Michael Jackson's dad.

/that ought to do it

Hell, why not throw in Michael Jackson as well? He'd still make more sense than the republicans buffoons running now.

Yeah, Ron Paul is only crazy in the colloquial sense of "holds political positions that range from outright stupid to just rather untenable and sees nothing wrong with that" sense. That gives him the edge in debates with a bunch of nominees who are crazy in the more literal "cannot properly interface with reality in any recognizable fashion" sense.

He figured out Trump is a Democrat.

BooBoo23: Paul and Jon Huntsman are the only two candidates to state that they will not attend.

Telling.

There are a couple of candidates that want to serve the American people and then there are those that want to be president.

Now is the season of evil.

... Evil?

mrshowrules: I never claimed he was an idiot. I disagree with his politics but he's not an idiot.

He believes in libertarianism and 6-day creation of a 6,000 year old earth. He's also a doctor. The guy's a fine example of how a clever person can be an utter idiot.

i'm guessing that a NewsMax sponsored debate hosted by Trump is going to be nothing but birther questions, right?

So I take it a Paris Hilton hosted debate is out of the question?

I'm sure if a candidate didn't want to attend a George Soros debate, you libtards woud be butthurt to no end.

You're also all racists, somehow.

You forgot Charlton Heston with a rifle in each hand

Rather than a debate, they should play a special version of Hole In The Wall where they twist themselves into the shapes of the Constitution, the Founding Fathers, Ronald Reagan and Jebus.

Jim_Callahan: Yeah, Ron Paul is only crazy in the colloquial sense of "holds political positions that range from outright stupid to just rather untenable and sees nothing wrong with that" sense.

Well said.

Dignity of the office? It was held by George W. Bush for 8 years.

Is this where I'm supposed to talk about how crazy and unelectable Ron Paul is despite the fact that every other candidate, the incumbent included, is so corrupt they will most certainly continue driving us down the road to corporate fascist ruin?

/will probably vote bama again
//or just stay home and drink beer for once
///i'll find a (R) friend who does the same and just justify that we would have cancelled each other out.
////did that with another friend one year (kerry/bush)
//we each went out and secretly voted anyways, the laughed about it later
//csb

hey wtf happened to all my slashies?

Relatively Obscure: Good show, crazy dude.

Thats the problem with Paul. He's another one of the guys doing smack down that needs to be smacked down himself.

farkityfarker: Dignity of the office? It was held by George W. Bush for 8 years.

Who made Raygun the crook look like honest Abe.

"The selection of a reality television personality to host a presidential debate that voters nationwide will be watching is beneath the office of the Presidency and flies in the face of that office's history and dignity. Mr. Trump's participation as moderator will distract from questions and answers concerning important issues such as the national economy, crushing federal government debt, the role of the federal government, foreign policy, and the like. To be sure, Mr. Trump's participation will contribute to an unwanted circus-like atmosphere.

Oh, but attempting to prove how presidential you are by hiring a clown to impersonate Obama is somehow dignified?



Oh, and the moderator in the middle? Yeah, Ron Paul said that guy would make a good VP pick, which is basically the same as saying that he would make a good POTUS.

mrshowrules: I never claimed he was an idiot. I disagree with his politics but he's not an idiot.

Saying that Ron Paul isn't an idiot compared to the other GOP contenders is like saying Paris Hilton isn't an idiot compared to Lindsay Lohan.

schrodinger:

whenever i see that obama impersonator all i can think of is



to be fair I'm pretty sure there is a good bit of difference between making a joke, and turning what should be a serious debate into a joke

TalenLee: He believes in libertarianism and 6-day creation of a 6,000 year old earth.

And some people still trot out the "6-day" lie without ever saying where they started counting from.
Just how was time counted in the part of creation before there was a sun and earth, hmm?
Oh that's right, it's indeterminate....

MurphyMurphy: hey wtf happened to all my slashies?

You get a max of four slashies.

////Seriously.

\////Abuse of slashies is serious business.

\\////Seriously.

\\\////Ok, maybe not so seriously.

\\\\////But for some reason on Fark it is.

Yay!! I've only been on FARK for like seven years, and just now received my first green.

/subby!!
//always wanted to say that!

Ron Paul is in 2nd place in Iowa. (new window) Wouldn't a Gingrich/Paul ticket be wonderful?

Gingrich 25%
Paul 18%
Romney 16%
Bachmann 8%
Cain 8%
Perry 6%
Santorum 6%
Huntsman 2%

The only ship easier to sink would be Gingrich Palin which wouldn't even make it to the general election before Sarah sued him for sexual harassment.

Have your ever actually listened to the cow flop that comes out of his mouth ?

This.

I wouldn't think the other candidates would want to do it either, reason being because a debate hosted by Trump would cause independents who casually follow politics to tune in. Those independents would see all these candidates saying the insane things they do to appeal to the american taliban that make up the republican base.

dumbobruni: i'm guessing that a NewsMax sponsored debate hosted by Trump is going to be nothing but birther questions, right?

I was thinking more along the lines of, "I'm sorry, that's not a hair question."

Didn't Donald Trump say he hasn't ruled out getting back into the campaign? How stupid do these people have to be to allow a potential rival to interview them?
