well he does understand torture better than most ,having been a long term recipient

Ron Paul: "You deserved it."

[Rameumptom]

Don;t listen to EV. His soures are from the Lib Boston Globe for most of his material.

The NRA-ILA specifically has stated that the sources EV uses are false. He claims to be conservative but in his hatred of EV he is willing to sell his soul to the Globe.

Unmarked Package has rebuttals to EV’;s anti-Romney spam on his homepage.

[plain talk]

9/11 was an exception and he may be wrong on this...his other views are also right on target

LOL!!!

Rudy: Keep the government out of peoples life's.

Good Idea!

Get rid of the cameras.

Veto L.O.S.T. treaty.
Get out of the UN.
ID Cards for Aliens Only.
Depot the illegals and shoot
above alien heads that try to cross
the frontier boarder.

While were talking about terrorism, Americans are losing their constitutional freedoms and American is slowly losing its sovereignty.

3 shopping malls get hit?

Bomb and destroy all Islamic centers around the world.

I'm sick of this terrorist BS.

Mc doesn’t understand this enemy... this isn’t Nam.

Nothing against Tancredo, but Duncan Hunter has been the most effective on borders, because he had a fence built, which stop drug trafficking and illegal immigration tremendously.

Duncan Hunter gets things done.

Torture scenario -- in that situation nobody should know that we have anybody, so torture them and kill them -- the world would never know.

LOL! On the money. ;-)

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Well...ok, how could you come up with that?

[HereInTheHeartland]

Ron Paul is a complete idiot. He just put a gun to his political life’s head, and pulled the trigger a few times.

[Old_Mil]

Even Tancredo is looking much more focused than last time, though there are still serious rough edges.

I think Congressman Tancredo is a great man with a lot of great ideas...but right now, the best thing he could do for America would be to hand the ball off to Duncan Hunter and let him carry it. An early endorsement would mean a lot.

[RobFromGa]

McC has once again proved he cannot be President, Rudy would use every method they can think of and he will support (LOUD APPLAUSE), he’s seen what happens when you make a mistake on this...

[Road Warrior ‘04]

McCain wants to treat any terrorist with kid gloves. No torture. He favors a “Terrorists Bill of Rights”.

[billbears]

Well there you go debating the premise....not. You can’t because the policy of blowback is a valid premise. Oh I forgot. Al Qaeda hates us for our ATMs.....

[TomGuy]

Rudy — they should every method they could think of -— but not torture....

Huh?

[AliVeritas]

Hell yes, waterboarding... OORAH!

[LibertarianInExile]

Rudy was desperate for distraction and Paul standing up against his constant flagwaving provided it.

[cripplecreek]

Tancredo has a natural tendency to stammer and that will hurt him. He’s a great congressman but I don’t expect to ever see a president Tancredo.

[calcowgirl]

I can't imagine him thinking we'd all miss him skirting hard questions, with 60 million people watching.

And a written transcript. Go figure!
