On which of my posts is your port connected?

God did a nice job on 9/11

God removed his hedge of protection on the United States for a scant few hours on 9/11/01.

What do you think would happen if He removed that hedge of protection for a few days, or even a month?

I shudder to think.

Now we must ask ourselves, do we as a nation deserve God's hedge of protection? Will we spit in God's eye and continue to vote for this infant holocaust? Or will we take a stand and place our faith solely in the only one who can truly protect us?

Ron Paul is winning the FoxNews text poll. Must be lots of DUmmies watching the debate tonight.

Well it's easy when all you have to do is punch in numbers a' la "American Idol".

If they were asked to verbally express their view that Paul 'won' the debate, there'd be a lot of vocal injuries tonight as the DUmmies tend to hurt themselves saying words with more than three syllables in them.

Carl Cameron mentioned that Ron Paul’s people are organized and could well be flooding the lines..

It’s either that or DU types.

[patriciamary]

I agree,many think the far right republicans are going to over turn roe vs wade,reality check it’s not going to happen,or make some strong stance against the gay community,another reality check,it’s not going to happen.I’m going with the man who can protect us and will win in 08 RUDY!

You shall reap what you sow. Be kind and agree to disagree and I shall do the same, do not call me disturbed or assume I post pictures of that sort with glee, I do so out of solemn admonition. As for calling you a liberal I am sorry.

[HoundsTooth_BP]

It isn’t blame America to suggest that we have a sound foreign policy and obey the Constitution like the founding fathers intended.

[cva66snipe]

I liked Ron Paul’s replies especially his rely to Rudy that went right over his head. Ones like Rudy will never understand a lot of our M.E. problems are a direct result of our our own failed Foreign policy. Next I liked Huckabee, Hunter and Tancredo. The worst IMO Rudy, McCain, Romney, and Gilmore.

[roses of sharon]

Yep, the liberal’s fav candidate is Paul, lol.

How embarrassing for him!

[pacelvi]

That makes no sense to me

[Theodore R.]

I thought Huckabee did the best, and Hunter the second best. I didn’t like Giuliani’s positions, but he did not hurt himself this time as he supposedly did in the first gathering. Brownback is getting nowhere because of his liberal stand on immigration.

Ron Paul is winning the FoxNews text poll. Must be lots of DUmmies watching the debate tonight.

Maybe DUmmies. But also more skewed to "yout's". Young people are more antiwar than older. Older people are still more landline-oriented and some don't even have cellphones or know how to text-message via internet.

But if I had to guess, I'd say there is actually low viewership except among political junkies. And it's likely the Kos Kids crowd with all those cellphones. Or the server capacity and scripts to skew the results to Ron Paul.

Carl Cameron announcing Ron Paul as winning probably forced tens of thousands of apoplectic middle-aged people to dig out their cellphone manuals to try to figure out that darned texting thing.

[EternalVigilance]

If you knew that, why did you ask? Is Romney’s dishonesty rubbing off on you?

[mylife]

They just show thier foolishnish with these stunts

[Jake The Goose]

Ron Paul winning the poll.

If you step out of the box - that’s funny as hell.

[jveritas]

And starting from tonight, the four Ron Paul supporters on FR will entertain all of us with their lunacy and tell us “Ron Paul” won the online polls.

[Domestic Church]

Hunter will win the general election, face the facts.

[DarthVader]

The DU’ers have flooded the polls. Winning TV polls and winning primary elections are two different things.

[TAdams8591]

You are more than free to believe whatever makes you happy! : )

[HoundsTooth_BP]

If Ron Paul’s supporters are like him then they’ll be the most articulate responders out there. All the other politicians did tonight is give out tired one liners about “political solutions” when dealing with people who settle disputes by strapping bombs to their chests!
