Waterboarding started in present-day Italy, McCain, not during the Spanish InquisitioN!Who really cares where it started? It does no injury at all and it DOES work.
McCain is unbalanced.

Ron Paul...I'm ashamed. In one breath he says that middle-eastern thinking is irrational (which I agree with - I wouldn't shed a tear if the entire ME was nuked to oblivion tomorrow, and I think nation building of any sort is a terrible waste and terrible policy), and in the next breath he states that we should consider the reasons they have for attacking us????? There is a heap of cognitive dissonance going on there. I'm done getting kind words in edgewise for him. Retire old man - you are officially doing the adherents of liberty a disservice by associating us with your kooky hate-America foreign policy views that aren't even internally logically consistent. I don't know you.
Hunter and Tancredo were the only fellows up on stage tonight who are CLEAR conservatives; they are clear constitution and clearly on the right side of every direct issue facing America today. Some of the other second tier candidates (Huckabee, Gilmore) might be ok. MIGHT BE, they both need more light shone on them.
As for the debate itself, it was 1000x better than the garbage of the first debate (which was a total MSM joke). It wasn't perfect (come on - the minority question at the end??? wtf was that??) but it was much better.

Ron Paul has solid points? Whatever. The guy is nuts. I was just waiting for him to say fire doesn’t melt steel.
So to cover himself he goes back to 1953 and the Shah of Iran.

Fred seems like he would be a good candidate.
To: Sun
He just said in the post-debate Hannity and Colmes, “Do we want to have another Spanish Inquisition?” Was he referring to illegal immigration or the interrogation of terrorists?

Rudy: Abortions went down, abortions went up...and we can work together to achieve what we want. Interesting recap, Gy. I liked that Rudy brought up Hillary, but it was the wrong time to do that. This debate is about Republicans deciding their direction, and he was as you point out, deflecting questions about his conservatism.
To: jveritas
That is too many staffers for Ron Paul to have :) the guy has no more than five or six followers :)
Almost every post that I see you write has to do with saying something negative about Ron Paul. Deep down, I think you actually like Paul. You know that hes about the only true constitutionalist running.

The spin will be that he won. FOX is on the case. Mark my words: rudy julie will win their poll. Correct. Hannity's lips planted firmly on rudy's behind is embarrassing
To: txradioguy
The 25 nations that are cooperating with us are mostly countries that don’t harbor terrorists. We need cooperation with middle eastern countries, real cooperation, not just lip service to our media while funding terrorists in the shadows.
The UN has no place in American foreign policy; why are we over there dying to enforce UN resolutions anyway?
Iraq isn’t over and done with because we’re still fighting a politically correct war. You can’t win a war when you refuse to hunt down and kill the enemy.
We wouldn’t have had a problem with Saddam had we taken care of him to begin with. We didn’t get it right the first time what makes you think we’ll get it right the second time? Do you typically use “let’s fix our first mistake” as a rallying cry for a war?
What national interest did we advance in invading Iraq EITHER time? None!
al-Qaeda could have more effectively been hunted down with cooperation from the host countries and covert forces, not with big flashy wars that let them escape into other surrounding areas or blend into the population to launch terrorist attacks against our troops

Rudy Gets the one-liner of the night, but I wont vote for him.No, Huckabee got the best one liner. LOL.
