Snore...Rudy was teed up for that before Paul was asked the question. That was a setup for Rudy from his pals, because you had to know that Rudy’s only chance in this election is continuing his pretense to 9/11 heroism.
Who is suggesting undoing the global economy? All Paul said is that we need to know and understand the reasons behind the attack and deal with those—which you and others want to imagine is the same as approving of the attack. Might as well say learning about bee stings and what causes them is the same thing as wishing for them.

I just said much the same thing...
If FRed doesnt run then Hunter
and Tancredo
To: txradioguy
His statement is exactly as I characterized it, our inept handling of foreign policy in a region we don’t understand created a world where such attacks are more likely. Ron Paul is right and we need to wake up and address the problem by correcting a foreign policy that is failing to eliminate the terrorist threat around the world.
To: don-o
I was hoping someone on stage would tell Ron Paul that he needed to be OFF THE STAGE for his remark and that he has defamed each and every family of the 9/11 dead Americans!!!! Not to mention his defamation of the military dead.
John McLame needs also to be "OFF THE STAGE" for his lame answers to each and every question.
BTW - FOX NEWS ROCKS, way to go Brit, Chris and Wendell.
I'm still rooting for Hunter!!!

Looks to me that Fox News is doing all they can to put Rudy in a favorable light. It’s clear to me who they are supporting. Hannity is a big time disappointment (RINO).

Ron Paul (Gaul)- Certifiably Insane, should be president in another solar system. The Dennis Kucinich of the Republican Party. His supporters on this thread would be more than willing to drink the Kool-Aid.

"Ron Paul 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."
Amen.
Our military is in 70 countries around the world. The founders would be sick.

Am I missing something or is FOX unabashedly pushing for rudy julie?
Kristol, Krauthammer, Barnes, Hannity, all are in the tank for him. Hume seems neutral in a professional sense but I sense he warms a little toward the leftwing mayor.
Most of us never pretended Fox News was very conservative. And the field is a very mixed bunch.
This debate was terrible! who the hell was that guy asking most of the questions? Chris Matthews was much better.
No, Chrissy was pretty awful. And he divided the time poorly.

Great minds and all that ... Volunteers see things more clearly maybe.

The only thing defaming dead Americans is the mindless adherence to a politically correct foreign policy that defies the Constitution. How many Americans died in the past so that we could squander our country like this? Remember history, we were supposed to avoid entangling alliances!
To: unixfox
re-check your account before banking on Fred.
he had a political stutter when asked his position on pro-life issues.... he gave a "she gave this story of a story of a story" and never answered the question. in another instance he said he was pro-life but it was the "womans' choice"! nice PP, pro-choice verbage there for someone who claims to be pro-life... trying to be slick, but not slick enough.
listen carefully from the candidates to hear with the discernment the "truth" in the political speakese. unfortunately we have had to become interpreters... defining "IS".

Capt. Cox, you need to get a grip. ...err second thought, just get lost.

Im becoming tired of the Hannity-Giuliani show.. I can't watch Hannity anymore. He is a empty-minded shill, IMO.

The Feds don’t license doctors, state medical boards do. What do you do if you pass a federal law that orders the state medical boards to yank medical licenses of doctors who perform abortions, and the medical boards just refuse to?
And you want the Feds to sue women seeking abortions in civil court? What damages are you seeking?

I dismissed Romney last go around. He is to slick. kissing babys and glad handing. Who knows what the man stands for?
You just described every single man on that stage and most in politics.
All you have to do is look at how the man (or any man) has lived his life and done his job.
