This has got to be the worst moderated debate I’ve seen for a long time. Sheesh.

[Guenevere]

I can’t disagree with you!...very true

[patriciamary]

Rudy is sticking up for Bush and that’s great.

[Sun]

“Hunter has been just awesome—very Presidential!!”

Hunter is the right man at the right time!

[Trueblackman]

I want to throw up, Chrissy is a toady of the KKKlintons.

[alicewonders]

That wasn’t a bad debate.

...our country has been on a downward, leftward, spiral for a long time. I don't see it correcting itself; or at least not in my life time.

Yes, the direction has been drifting leftward for a while.

But, if we articulate a RIGHT vision....America will follow.

Keep the faith, FRiend. We've a great opportunity in 2008.

Chrissy quotes Winston Churchill... off to “the spin room”

[jaycee]

My question was “Who would you vote for? Hillary or Rudy?”

[bnelson44]

Paul wants to be like Taft???

[Shortstop7]

Did they ever show Mrs. Reagan?

[kidd]

Still waaaaay too early to say that You're right, of course.

[True Republican Patriot]

Great Candidates! but can You tell them to look Us in the eye thru the cameras, and not turn their heads and address all of their answers to Matthews, and forget that WE are the audience?

[The Pack Knight]

I missed too much by posting, but that's why I recorded most of it.

I'll go back and check.

[AliVeritas]

In other words, Ron Paul wouldn’t be able to catch terrorists.

[ChessExpert]

It was shameless the way Chrissi cut-off Ron Paul earlier.

What a waste it would be to watch Mathews and oberman on MSNBC.

[acsrp38]

He has a bad record of granting parole and communting sentences if the criminal claims they have been “saved” -— My family is fighting a case now. Huckabee never actually makes a decision and says no. Now the murderer can bring the case up again every year.

[mylife]

What the hell is Ron Paul yapping about abusing “habeous corpus”?
Way to embolden the Dems aguement Ron.

[Jane Austen]

My thoughts also.
