“No you didn’t. If you did you wouldn’t be defending him. All you want to know is whether he is a libertarian or not. You people are dangerous.”

All you have to spout is the usual Rudy talking points. You should see if you can write ‘tough’ questions for Hannity.

[EternalVigilance]

Quit twisting the facts, RINO. Slick Willard reaffirmed that he’s a gun grabber tonight.

[snowsislander]

So excited to see Hunter get the last word! Man, he came off really well tonight!

Yes, I think that he is clearly the best candidate. I am glad that he has done so well in both debates.

[don-o]

Great. Sean gets Rudy on first.

All stocked up with softballs.

So, how many innocent lives should we sacrifice for your right to carry whatever weapon you choose? One? Two? Twenty? 1000?

And if you maintain your right to carry any weapon whatsoever...how do we balance the safety scale for those who choose not to carry in kind?

Cars kill far more people than guns...should we outlaw them too? After all, how do we balance the safety scale for those who choose to drive small cars when I drive an SUV? See just how idiotic you sound?

[txradioguy]

Uh huh...61% Liberal rating....spouting DU talking points...to INCLUDE that WE brought 9/11 on ourselves...he might support the Constitution...but it ain’t the U.S. Constitution.

Are you just here to disrupt the thread? Can you stay on topic?

Rudy, Hunter and Tancredo gained some

You are right. I don't like Rudy or Tancredo, but they gained tonight. Rudy was crashing until idiotic Ron Paul gave him an opening.

[unixfox]

This is the best we can do?

Sad, very sad.

I'll bank on Fred Thompson, thank you very much.

[RasterMaster]

The more Hunter gets out there, the more people will see that he’s the only serious candidate out there.

[bnelson44]

he can’t get elected as a Libertarian so he joined the Republican party.

[redgirlinabluestate]

Agree. Romney and Hunter won again — 1st and 2nd. Rudy did much better this time (liked how he slapped Paul down).

[TAdams8591]

Totally untrue. He has moved steadily to more conservative positions.

[CrawDaddyCA]

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

Yep.

[murron]

Hannity has Giuliani on right now fawning over him and his answer to Ron Paul.

[KoRn]

I didn’t like any of them tonight. Duncan Hunter made a little spark with me, but I was overall underwhelmed by them all of them......

[LdSentinal]

He wants to hire bounty hunters to get Bin laden.
