Ron Paul shortchanged on debate time again

Lew Rockwell
Thursday January 31, 2008

LRC reader Joe Black clocked it:

Total time, in minutes and seconds, that Dr. Paul got to speak tonight. Out of, roughly, 1 hour and 22 minutes of "debate." Anderson Cooper cut Dr. Paul short twice.

Here is a break down of Dr. Paul's participation time:


Question 1 on the economy: 1:19 minutes

Question 4 on the environment: 0:41 minutes, because Anderson cut him short and assured him "2 minutes, in 2 minutes we have a question for you. I promise"

Question 5 on income tax rebates and "make work" schemes: 0:49 minutes

Question 11 on Sandra Day O'Conner: 0:09 minutes, I kid you not. Cut short by Anderson

Question 15* on McCain's "100 years in Iraq" statement: 1:39 minutes (only question directly asked to Dr. Paul)

Question 18* on how X would handle the military as commander in chief: 1:50 minutes

Question 19* on a Reagan endorsement: 0:46 minutes


* These question numbers are guesses because I lost track after McCain and Romeny were playing slap ass with each other over the Iraq war technicalities and time tables for withdrawal. That was, of course, followed up by a gem by Dr. Paul that made both those guys look like the idiots they really are.
