Of both debates, I must say, I think Romney won both, and has been the pleasant surprise of the group.

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?

I'm really sorry here...I'm confused by your "list" reference and "pings".

Really...if you'd like to explain, I'd be glad to "listen". If not, that's okay too.

Thanks.

I was only able to catch the very last 15 minutes of this debate, had a t-ball game, and my first impression was what a difference it makes when an adult is the moderator.

[txradioguy]

You keep repeating the same talking point that he “supports the Consitution”...but fail to cite any specifics of the Constitutionhe DOES support.

Can you? Or are you only capable of repeating the crib sheet you have taped on the monitor next to you?

[Liberty Valance]

I predict it will be more hostile this time. Look for a few haymakers thrown.

You were right. ;o)

"Knock on the front door, because the back door is closed" --Hunter

I wish we could have a Hunter/Tancredo ticket. I could die hoping that the United States of America would survive until to see the year 2100 if they won.

The FoxNews text message poll shows Ron Paul winning! Shows how useless polls are. I hate that FoxNews has already assumed that we have to have Romney, Guliani, or McCain as the R Candidate so I’m glad the Ron nuball Paul is ahead in their stupid poll.

[mylife]

Oh me either. He is just a a bit up tight.

He really diffrenciated himself from tancredo tonight by relaxing abit. getting comfortable with who he is

[jveritas]

There are three of four of them right here on FR. Anyway the left wing lunatics are text messeging the Foxnews poll and making traitor lunatic poll is number 1. But we expected this :)

[HoundsTooth_BP]

There’s a big difference between the 1920’s and the massive interventionist scheme we have going on now, one that doesn’t further any American foreign interests. We need a clear goal and a Constitutional declaration of war before we go into another nation. We need to accomplish that goal ruthlessly, without regard to politically correct hand wringing that get’s our troops killed needlessly, and then we need to get out.

[EternalVigilance]

Your pro-Romney spin isn’t getting you anywhere. No matter how hard you try, Slick Willard’s wolf tail keeps popping out from under the sheep skin.

[DarthVader]

Ron Gaul most certainly is a pacifist and has the same nit-wit foreign policy approach as Jimmah. His blame America talk is only going to take him so far in the GOP and that is nowhere. Oh ye 2%!

[Chuck54]

All the LEFT WING LUNATICS are voting for Ron Paul in Foxnews text messaging poll.

I love it. At least they watched their most hated network FOX for a few moments to at least get the numbers.

[Accygirl]

No he’s suggesting that we deserved to be attacked on 9/11, and because of it, he got b*tchslapped by Rudy.

[jveritas]

Of course they did, this is 100% the case.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Sleep well, friend.

We’ll talk another time...about alot of issues.

Take care.

[Digger]

Calling people names? How third grade. As to your “point,” Ron Paul isn't even remotely pacifist. What he does support is the Constitution. We didn't declare war, we are engaging in a policing action to enforce the mandates of the UN, hardly a worthy goal.

Give this point to Ron. He is right on.

[BnBlFlag]

“He (Paul) will lose the Republican Primary in his Congressional District in 2008”.
I doubt that. This District is one of the most Conservative Districts in the United States and he wins handily every election in both Primaries and in General Elections.

[Zman516]

Exactly. Ron Paul is finished after his gaff tonight, Regardless of DU nutters who are skewing the poll.
