>GOP Dark Horses Fail to Gallop in Debate<

Because the “gates” were never opened.

Rudy Giuliani: “For New York city, I support gun control and government funded abortions. Everywhere else, I oppose it, except for a few big liberal cities that also want it. But no in rural areas opposed to it.”

MEMO TO ROOTY: You seem to forget---you live in the USA---not in some Third World banana republic. You don't get to decide which laws apply to which Americans. The US Constitution applies to ALL Americans.

Ask Ron Paul a question about an issue. You knew that is what was being talked about.
He will give you the same answer time after time.

As for Scooter Libby going to jail, you might ask the court that jailed him why they found him guilty.
Ron Paul has the right to his opinion just like everyone else, you and I included.

Personally, I find Ron Paul's steadfastness on issues to be comforting in todays flip flop world.
That doesn't mean I agree 100% with 100% of Ron Paul's views.

McCain, Romney and Rudy — all performed well wishfull thinking for McCain and Giuliani. Romney moped the floor with them based on performance. Hunter kills them all on substance.

It's called a joke son.

(it was a referrence to the fact that I once had a traumatic experience with an Arkansas Governor who became president)

Sounds like a campaign slogan: “Rudy, the new John Effing Kerry!”

Isn’t Mike Murphy the guy who could barely keep MCain medicated in 2000 and screwed Lazio?

“Find me an article covering last night’s debate that even mentions Hunter having been there last night. “

Hunter is not mentioned because he is not useful to them. He didnt bash other Republicans and was strong on key issues. He was more assured and articulate imho than McCain. But reliable conservatives that are not celebrities, like him and Gilmore will get zero media air. Media has no interest in advancing conservatives.

I thought Romney won and Hunter and Huckabee were runners up.

[WOSG]

“The most credible of the bunch was former Governor of Virgninia Jim Gilmore. He kicked butt and sounded the most level headed. Why is he not getting more press?”

See my previous post: Media has no interest in boosting reliable conservatives, so no air time for them. Plus, polls become self-fulfilling prophecy.

[WOSG]

“Besides this giving consistently wrong answers isn’t a virtue. Do you think he might rethink his answer regarding Scooter Libby last night? He actually said that Libby deserves to go to jail for his part in our going to war against Iraq! True libertarians don’t jail people for political differences. Libertarian Party members might, and that explains the difference.”

I too thought that was a dreadful answer. It’s almost as if Ron Paul’s got so many moonbat supporters now that he’s decided to spout their wacked conspiracy theories.
