Hunter was given a LOT more time tonight then on the Communist News Network version.

[The Pack Knight]

Kudos for Hunter mentioning the Sovremenny destroyers. Not so many for failing to mention that they're a 26 year old platform that is highly vulnerable to US anti-surface weapons. It's worrisome, but China has been acquiring more effective weapons than that.

[RobFromGa]

I think McCain is the big losers tonight. (Paul was worst but he was already toast)

Rudy, Hunter and Tancredo gained some.

Romney didn’t change much.

THe others have no chance.

[Loyal Buckeye]

That was EXACTLY what I said while he was speaking!

Me too. McCain has lost touch with reality.

“Ron Paul said we need to understand why they attacked us and deal with that. That is the same as saying we asked for 9/11”

Snore. Is saying we need to understand why murderers kill and deal with that saying we as a society ask for murders to occur? Hardly.

You people aren’t even thinking about what you’re posting.

LOL!!! I majored in history in college. Sorry if the historical view doesn’t support the Republican ‘understanding’ of Islam and the Middle East...

[jveritas]

McCain did good in the debate but I do not think he won. I think the debate overall was won by Romney.

[LeoWindhorse]

I’d flip that around ....
But the same gentlemen !

Let’s support them both

I'm glad he mentioned the Tianamen Guy. We have forgotten that Communist China is still a part of the Evil Empire.

[EternalVigilance]

Who is your choice for president, EV?

Of this bunch? Duncan Hunter by a mile.

[MHGinTN]

Well, in this old man’s book, Romney and Hunter were the clear winners. Rudy played his strongest card, defense, but he once again shot himslef in the ear with his defense of abortion on demand.

[DCBryan1]

OK FREEPERS, HERE IS MY TAKE:

Duncan Hunter
Tom Tancredo
Rudy Giuliani
Sam Brownback
Mike Huckabee
John McCain
Tommy Thompson
Jim Gilmore (Check my website)
Mitt Romney (Anti RKBA (unless you hunt)
Ron Paul (You gotta See DarthRepublicans post on 1498)
Right_in_Virginia (you ignorant anti-RKBA (dont get offended, you can still be educated, and I didn't call you stupid (incurable)).

[MEG33]

Paul is a Libertarian..He calls himself a Republican..He makes me sick. He is a disgrace to our state..

[Rameumptom]

>>Stuff it, RINO.

Nice, I'm not the one who gets caught quoting LIBS and Posting My own Vanity Fluff as news.

Quit Posting LIB sources TROLL.

You insist you are conservative. Your sources prove otherwise.

EV, lying and posting LIB CRAP

[Antoninus]

Antoninus was the first AFAIK to coin that moniker. Gilmore is using it - probably without attribution. Am I correct Antoninus?

Yep, I made up Rudy McRomney right here on FR. Score another one for Free Republic going mainstream!

[Sprite518]

Just sent it... R5
