After this debate I find myself (unbelievably) identifying with the Dixie Chicks. I am ashamed that Ron Paul is from Texas! He is a pimple on the a$$ of The Lone Star State. I am embarrassed beyond belief, I apologize America.

[No Blue States]

Ron Paul, what an embarrassment to Texas.
He is definitely out of the running after this debate.
Good Riddance.
Watching Hannity’s spin now.
I think Mclame sux also.
Lets not waterboard them but they can burn and hang our soldiers from bridges? wth?
That nut will never get my vote, he is strange.

Thats about all I got out of this so far.

So a liberal newspaper is more trustworthy than a Romney supporter??? So what meds are taking for spewing this crap???

[guido911]

Yep. Hannity is an empty-minded shill. Those damn Freedom concerts he produces and the fact that he gives hundreds of thousands of dollars to help send children of fallen soldiers to college is the epitome of mindlessness. When will someone stop this!!!

[James W. Fannin]

That bureaucracy just served to completely immasculate the Border Patrol. Shut the border and let us take toothpaste in carry-ons again.

It's good that Ron Paul got to express some of these ideas. The debate has been very good for this country, even if we sometime strongly disagree with certain candidates from time to time.

“Many of us Conservs are thinking RUDY is the best choice”

Nooooooooooooo Many of us and 99.999% of us are NOT thinking Rudy is the best choice...

[AliVeritas]

Paul should have been asked constitutional questions regarding separation of powers and other functions during war. Nah...

[No Blue States]

LOL

Same here. He must be a transplant, I hope.

[Pyro7480]

Those things are good causes, but that doesn’t change the fact.

[HoundsTooth_BP]

The Shah remark was a good point. We messed up twice and now we’re paying for it with a radical muslim Iran.

[agincourt1415]

Ron Paul cannot be from Texas, don't tell me that, LOL!

He must be in an import!

[mylife]

I wish Fred would either announce or decline before it's too late to make another choice.

Before its to late? cripes is almost 2 years out and Fred is wiping the floor with them. He just today set the base on fire

[AliVeritas]

The black chick is volunteering for Hillary? ROFL.

[CheyennePress]

Protect us from what? Call me whatever you will, I think the border problem bears far greater long-term implications and immediate complications than the war on Jihad. For the moment, they are there, and we are here. We possess the technology, they the resources.

If we continue to crumble into a third-world crap hole and accept every bum who can’t read, who won’t read, and who really doesn’t care if his kids read, we’re over. Low-skilled Mexicans are not the future of this nation.

“Me too, Duncan is impressive.”

I love Duncan Hunter, but he sure was not given hardly any chances to speak tonight. Didn’t keep track, but seems to me that all the others got to speak more than he did. A shame, as I feel he was the best on the stage. I am hoping for a Fred Thompson/Duncan Hunter ticket.

[P-Marlowe]

Many of us Conservs are thinking RUDY is the best choice. I know he will protect us...

Right.

I'm counting on GOD protecting us.

Voting for a pro-abortionist like Rudy is like spitting in God's eye.

Can Rudy protect us from the wrath of God?

[No Blue States]

Hannity threw softballs at Rudy IMO.

[Right_in_Virginia]

...and I'm really happy that you are so anit-gun to bring to light Romney's "Gun Grabber" stance

You really can't do both. You can't invite me into a debate AND chastise me for being a "disrupter" when I answer.

So, decide. Do you want to insult me or discuss this issue with me as a rational adult.

[airborne]

By the way, where is the wall that the Minutemen has promised to build????

Where's the wall Congress voted for? Hunter said since the vote there has been 2 miles of it done.
