Thompson up again....DEE dee dee...

LOL! Good assessment...

Tommy!!!

[Right_in_Virginia]

Good for you.

Bad for the rest of us.

[CWW]

Guliani -- He just can't defend his position on abortion.

Hey Rudy -- did you decrease abortions by contributing to planned parenthood?

[Hoosiersailor]

I’m already tired of hearing Rudy talk.

[txradioguy]

Rudy...you can’t be tough on murder and support a woman’s right to CHOSE murder of an unborn child.

[kerryusama04]

Did Thompson just say he supports embryonic stem cells? Do these folks give a rip about the base?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Romney really said this?

[acapesket]

My husband commented that Wendell Goler (he Has no clue who Wendell Goler is btw) looks like a black version of Al Gore physically. I laughed and agreed. My husband is not a rascist and he hates politics, he’s just a funny guy.

[don-o]

Thompson wants it

Thats not what he said.

DCBryan1’s post: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN ASSAULT WEAPON! PC BS FROM Sarah Brady.

[Lexinom]

YES! The slavery-abortion analog!!!!!!!!! Acutally asked in a debate, of Guiliani!

[Disturbin]

He supports the assault weapons ban but does not want to take away concealed carry permits (which are still hard to get here in MA)

[redgirlinabluestate]

I don't know where Gimore gets off besmirching anyone's conservative credentials when he supports 1st trimester abortion.

In March, Gilmore explained that he backs legalized abortion up to eight weeks into pregnancy.

Rudy- Slavery bad, but killing of innocent babies - good.............grrrrrrrrrrrr

[jhw61]

I honestly don’t know what to say? I’m still for Romney for so many other reasons.

[DocRock]

"Why? You want to carry an assault weapon?"

Some of us not only want to carry them, but collect them. I'm a collector. You want me to give up my arms?

[Tree of Liberty]

It’s none of your business what a man does with an “assault weapon” (whatever that is), so long as it does not affect your life, liberty, or property.

[kcar]

I said earlier Romney would make a good VP candidate until we’ve seen more of his “conversion” on social conservative issues. Please forget I ever said that.

[James W. Fannin]

Rudy says people choosing abortion have as good a conscience as himself (and “others” there). I’m glad to know what he thinks.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Whats the Reagan count going to be tonight?

I wish they would quit comparing themselves to Reagan. They are "no Reagan"!
