Ron Pual didn’t say that we brought it on ourselves, but that we created a world with inept foreign policy that made such an attack more likely. We need to think deeply on this issue instead of knee jerking.

Thompson/Hunter 08

Rudy was crashing until idiotic Ron Paul gave him an opening.

Agreed.

Hunter did the best in the debate, followed by Tancredo. I don’t like Guliani, but he won the crowd when he took advantage of the Ron Paul comment. McCain just showed again that he was liberal. Romney didn’t do as well as he did in the first debate. Ron Paul looked even worse, along with mudslinging Gilmore. Huckabee did good, but it won’t matter and the rest were just there.

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

Tom's made some serious mistakes of late that remove him from consideration for me.

“Ron Paul goes down the toilet.”

I don’t think it’s too far off to say that he likely took himself out of the race tonight.

Giuliani trying to explain his flip-flopping on partial-birth abortion.

[George W. Bush]

Could Sean’s nose possibly turn browner? This is a pre-cooked nationally televised campaign speech. Collusion between Hannity and the leftwing mayor’s campaign. He didn’t appear that quickly after the debate just by accident.

[KoRn]

That would work for me!

[nsidetrk]

I’m with you.

Hunter and Tancredo are the best!!

[FreeReign]

...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.

I remember Ron Paul saying that shortly after 911.

I disqualified Paul way back then.

Heir Julliani now vants us all to rrrecieve der ID chip

[txradioguy]

Ron Paul...and you it would seem have absolutely zero concept of the War On Terror and why we are in Iraq as Afghanistan...and te Phillipenes...and Djibouti.

[jedward]

Here too, he seized an opportunity.

[don-o]

Rudy wants a national ID card. Why does that elicit zzzzzzz???

[mylife]

Hire Thompson/Hunter

He didn’t appear that quickly after the debate just by accident.

Yep, the fix was in for Rudy from the get-go.

[Republican Wildcat]

He was never in it to begin with - that just made it to where he will never have a chance.

“Ron Pual didn’t say that we brought it on ourselves, but that we created a world with inept foreign policy that made such an attack more likely. We need to think deeply on this issue instead of knee jerking.”

Oh, right, that’ll happen. /sarc With people who believe Rudy represents the best of America on 9/11? It’s about as likely as the local news covering the debate before American Idol results.
