Yes it was......this is my first time seeing Hunter. I’m very impressed.

[RatsDawg]

Haven’t mentioned Guns yet either, suprising in light of the VT shootings, I would think Chrissy would be all over trying to get gotchas on the GOP.

[newzjunkey]

It’s not an admission to human cause which is Gore bread-and-butter.

[advance_copy]

Brownback gave a good reply.

Yes, he did. The candidates who are looking strongest tonight are not McCain, Giuliani, or Romney.

[Netizen]

Again, Hunter making a great point, the stupid trade agreement driving business out of the USA.

Yes. He gave another stellar answer on that!

[Constitution1st]

I actually like this debate; I thought I would hate it. but I am learning about these men. I wish Fred were there. The survivor is the one that wins, and that is the way it works.

[mylife]

Brownback is impressing me on many things

[tiredoflaundry]

Hmmmmmmmmmm, has the words 9-11 even passed Rudy’s lips tonight?

[Guenevere]

No no ...HUNTER....maybe Tancredo....

[The Pack Knight]

Haven’t mentioned Guns yet either, suprising in light of the VT shootings, I would think Chrissy would be all over trying to get gotchas on the GOP.

Maybe he knows it's a losing issue for his side.

[SE Mom]

Interesting observation- I hadn’t noticed...

And a good point. I don’t remember what they did for the Dems...I was laughing too hard:)

“I am one of those one-issues voters.
One issue is abortion.

One issue is the 2nd Amendment.

One issue is Homosexualization of the Culture.

One issue is handing over the politics of the country to illegal aliens and would-be illegals.

One issue is something like a moral life.

Excellent!

[Craigswatch]

Tancredo is the only person on stage, the others are blowing a lot of hot air up our tail sides.

[LibertarianInExile]

Good lord, Rudy is just killing off any possible libertarian vote for him. National ID cards? Romney joins in? Papers Please!

Brownback finally advocates the right thing, but Chrissy picked the wrong advocate. Paul would tear this answer a new one.

[RasterMaster]

Should have the hosts from conservative radio and authors. Not from NEW DU.com (politico?).

[jennyjenny]

I agree. It’s not even close with what the dems have thrown out there. Even McCain and Rudy are better than the dem candidates.

[don-o]

National ID card? I need a no from someone on this

[Bush Revolution]

Yeah, he’s making more nauseous than usual.

[sgtyork]

C’mon -— its ‘bowel’ movement. Jeeez!

He always looks like that, but as a cheesehead, Tommy’s alright.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Exactly right! Hitlery won’t participate unless she gets the list of questions weeks in advance on a debate moderated by Rosie ODonnell.
