Hey Rudy — sorry, but you cannot duck important questions on social issues.

[DCBryan1]

Nailing McCain now! Watch the studder!

Is it me, or does McCain look like he is about 10 years late to the show?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

As opposed to ‘conservatives’ like you who want that Orwellian nightmare to expand, expand, expand, advocating that normal Americans carry national ID cards but let terrorists walk across the borders. Paul nailed this one, but you must spin, spin, spin your bureaucratic dream come true.

Funny how the candidate who adheres to the Constitution the most is ridiculed the most here.

If people like Paul were in charge, this country would be a lot better off. We wouldn't be having these huge deficits and worrying about entitlement programs.

[kerryusama04]

The Senator from AZ for the last 20+ years just said we need to secure the border. Despicable.

[snowsislander]

Thompson seems like the weakest — he could not cite three wasteful programs,...

As one of the primary architects of the vastly wasteful drug "benefit", this is no great surprise on Governor Thompson's part.

[cripplecreek]

McCain wants to give the democrats a reach around.

[GOPyouth]

McCain: Most pressing issue is Islamic extremism.

[fkabuckeyesrule]

I thot I understood Ronmey to say that his marriage was for all eternity. Is that a separate belief of mormonism that marriage is eternal versus traditional christianity that says till death do us part.

[jhw61]

Yoohoo! I’m like the Romney/Hunter ticket

[Rameumptom]

>>>What do you mean Mitt Romney is the John Kerry of the Republican Party?

Maybe he meant That Romney will get the nomination

[Choose Ye This Day]

No he said “I don’t think Rudy McRomney would be a good ticket either.”

[Vision]

That was a knock out punch for his candidacy.

[NordP]

He's bitter, too...and I hate this "working together" crap...we always lose.

The WOT stuff...I agree with him.

[spectre]

I love Chris Wallace too..he's such a nice man.

sw

[Brimack34]

I hate Wallace but he is doing alright tonight as is wendell.

[pollywog]

Rudy still didn’t answer the question of how he is conservative.

He didn't because he ISN'T!

[jveritas]

Huckabee is really doing good. I am impressed with him.

[jmc813]

Unimpressed with McCain. I didn’t like Huckabee’s last answer.

[pulaskibush]

McCain doesn’t seem to know the difference between working together and selling out.

Thank you!!!!
