Giuliani is first up on the FNC post-game show. Hannity is now going to kiss Rudy’s butt.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Because we're here to discuss the debate, not your hatred of firearms. Therefore, you are a disruptor.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Please accept my apology.

I had no idea you could not just skip over the debate you weren't interested in.

Take care, friend. (Oh, and you might want to refrain from politics...it may be too rough and tumble for your delicate self.)

Time for bed folks. I’ll check out the thread in the morning. For my money, Hunter won tonight, hands down! Parting words: Paul is an idiot!!!

[sageb1]

I agree with you.

[Tree of Liberty]

Who imbued you?

All rights, including that of self-defense, are granted by God. Those rights can be muted by force, but such an act is illegitimate. I think you could stand to read John Locke's 2nd Treatise on Government.

Tancredo started off slow, but finished strong. I would give Hunter first, Romney second, and Tancredo third. However, Romey and Tancredo are real close for second.

[LdSentinal]

Paul cares nothing about Bin laden since he didn’t want to go to Aghanistan.

[TAdams8591]

Thank you so much for posting that! : )

Europe is being overrun by the 3M crowd.

Source?

[TomasUSMC]

I prefer Hunter but what’d you think about Tancredo tonight?

[Xenophon450]

Good, you realize the horrors brought upon an unarmed populace unlike the person that post was intended for.

[meandog]

Romney...LOL! He’s flipped more times than a trout on 1-pound test filament!

[dschapin]

Yeah, I think Duncan Hunter really established himself as one of the strongest national defense candidates. I don’t think anyone can question that he would be quite capable of protecting the United States in a crisis.

[K-oneTexas]

I have always been impressed by Ron Paul and his understanding of the Constitution and government working within it. However tonight his one statement about America bringing 911 on itself, took him immediately out of the stature and the fortitude necessary to be a President of the United States.

[mylife]

Oh God.

Julianni is talking about how great he is becuase he turned down the saudi princes money

[DocRock]

Psssst... Right_in_Virginia, you got an honorable mention at the bottom of the list.

[MaxMax]

I’m becoming tired of the “Hannity-Giuliani” show..

[wouldntbprudent]

Confederate flag questions, great.

What a productive use of time.

You said it. Kind of like the Sinkmeister using the STate of the Union address to talk about school uniforms. Stupid.

[Rameumptom]

IMO, Hunter won. And I support Romney.

Rudy Gets the one-liner of the night, but I won’t vote for him.

Ron Paul goes down the toilet.

[HoundsTooth_BP]

We didn’t get Bin Laden by going to Afghanistan. Ron Paul wants to do it right instead of doing it the politically correct and inept way.
