Who's watching the first GOP Presidential Debate tonight?

Yes, we definitely need a push towards that goal.

"Fuel consumption will never change until the products are widely available". This assumption is historically and conceptually false.

The same thing was said for about many European countries before gas prices started to climb significantly. Did anything change in the short-run? Of course not. Demand for gas is inelastic in the short run. But, as time passes and prices stay high, logistics change, discretionary consumption habits change, citizens demand better infrastructure, etc.. Only high prices over prolonged periods of time will change an entire peoples' attitude towards gas. In the long run, demand for gas is very much elastic.

No, we don't.

How is it false? If hybrids were near the price of normal cars, people would buy hybrids. The same goes for electric cars. They aren't and won't be for awhile. So I see absolutely no need to cripple ourselves with ridiculous fuel prices when the alternatives aren't widely available or cost effective.

Most Americans couldn't care less about your entire third paragraph. I fall into that category. I know for a fact people will switch over to less fuel-consuming vehicles when they become cheap enough. It's ridiculous to try and force them to right now.

Ron Paul seems to have a very strong following with younger voters more and more. Interesting

I don't know if anyone is still watching but the whole discussion group on Fox believes Obama is a socialist. He's a moderate who disappointed liberals... the right is ****ing insane. This_Is_Not

There's a debate today?

First I've heard of this.

Ron Paul did good in this debate. I think his biggest problem is that he doesn't have the sound and look that the other candidates have. He can't make himself sound good in 1 minute.

I think people like being tricked. It seems like the candidates that can avoid the questions the best are the ones who get nominated and elected. Look at Pawlenty and Santorum and Cain. After this debate, I still don't know where they stand on 99% of the issues. The 1% that i do know where they stand only goes for Cain who said he favored a 23% national sales tax (I hate the sales tax more than the income tax).

Honestly I think Romney should drop out of the race. He has a much better chance in 2016. I like him (will not vote for him though in 2012), but he is trying to sweeten up his Tea Party creds too much.

If Romney would embrace his political past he could reinvigorate Rockefeller Republicans, hell he could even inspire his own "Romney" Republicans.

I so wanted to see Gingrich square off on Trump.:lol:

airshocker

I would pay money to see Gingrich go toe to toe with Obama in a debate.

I've watched the first 15 minutes of it so far and I gotta say my feelings towards Ron Paul have not changed. I still like the guy. He seems to really be speaking about what he believes and not just in "Talking Points" manner.

Just finished watching part three

If anyone is reading this skip to 24:14 and listen to 24:50. Given what he stated I have no clue how he came to the conclusion he did outside of it just sounding good.
