The Iowa Caucuses are just 8 months away.

Just wait until his hackers spread out across the Internet to show that Ron Paul won the debate tonight.

The only thing Ron Paul 'won' tonight was an invitation to sit next to Rosie O'Donnell on "The View" and discuss U.S. global politics (or as they say, a discussion concise enough to fit on a Twinkie wrapper).

"Should I look up the list?? ;-)"

You've been here since 2001 and don't know how 'pings' work? Why should we pay any attention to your opinion of gun control then?

[Rick_Michael]

Agreed. I believe Fred will join, and I will likely vote for him in the primaries.

[MEG33]

Exactly right..

[NordP]

Yep...Let me zee your pay-pahs.

[castlebrew]

why not?

no one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

[James W. Fannin]

Can Rudy protect us from the wrath of God?

POST OF THE DAY SIR

[No Blue States]

I agree. Im not throwing the unborn babies under the train to save my own skin.

America needs to decide what kind of world it wants to live in. We can’t keep going on like this, blind to the deeper implications of our actions and sustaining ourselves off of pathetic one liners from burned out old politicians.

[txradioguy]

Does it hurt twisting yourself into such contortions to defend the indefensible?

Spin away. Don’t let me get in the way of you making a complete jackass out of yourself.

You are continuing to display your complete and utter lack of comprehension of the WoT and how Iraq is at the forefront of it.

Your understanding is only slightly less than that of the candidate you support.

[George W. Bush]

Just wait until his hackers spread out across the Internet to show that Ron Paul won the debate tonight.

Deleting your browser cookies and browsing via a Tor proxy is simple enough anyone can do it. It's not really hacking.

Ron Paul could actually rise from the pack of the second-tier. He is the only antiwar candidate so he could rise to maybe 5%. Remember that 3%-5% of the voters will support almost anything you can name, like Martian bunnies having same-sex marriage. It's that X-Files voter demographic.

Rudy did very well- but I’m not sure he won it.

I think Hunter came out best- he was clear, strong and convinced.

Ron Paul needs to leave the Republican Party.

McCain- Romney...pppfffttt..

But my guy wasn’t there tonight, so I don’t have a preference going in..

And Fred Thompson is stumping while being paid for it.

Waterboarding was invented during the Sanish Inquisition.

[ConservaTexan]

Born and educated in Pennsylvania. Whew, what a relief!

[LdSentinal]

No wonder Paul is lauded by the Moonbats at the DU, Huffington Post and by Andrew Sullivan.

[kerryusama04]

Rudy, McCain, and Romney are all completely unacceptable IMO. I will not vote for any of them. Period.

[HoundsTooth_BP]

Was that supposed to be a rebuttal? All I saw was you declaring victory and running away from a discussion of the merits of the issue.
