Where's Fred Thompson? Is he going to mail his offering in by Youtube?

You've been very snide about the answers some of these guys are giving, but at least they have the guts to be in the thick of the battle.

We need to hear from Fred. We need to see how he holds up under the weather. One hopes he'll do better than he did in the Senate when things got contentious.

Did Ron Paul vote for Bush in ‘04?

[mathluv]

Gilmore right on immigration, taxes, spending.

Ron Paul is a huge embarrassment. There is no way he should be in the debates. I’m sure the MSM just LOVES him in there.

“Now to Betty in the WMJ copter....”

I’ll bet Tancredo would like to smack McCain!

Yeah, but besides Kennedy, who doesn't?

[Paperdoll]

And it looks like Romney is wearing brown eye shadow, for pete’s sake.

10 minutes + to the Fred Thompson segment on FNC.

Hillary slam!

RON PAUL right now in the debate tonight was just speaking about pre-emptive war, and pre-emptive nuclear strikes! A little bit earlier he said the war in Iraq was a war for oil. I thought you (lawdog) told me this morning that Paul would’ve declared war?

I honestly can’t tell the difference between Ron Paul and any other ‘anti-war’ activist out there today. He sure is comfortable using their rhetoric (I.E. This is a war for oil, this was a pre-emptive war — he made no mention about the whole declaration of war point, nor did he mention letters of marquee).

This is exactly why I left the LP... It’s great using the whole “at the end of a gun” rhetoric as long as the gun isn’t pointing at American citizens and soldiers. This was not a pre-emptive war, nor is it a war for oil. (For proof read JVeritas’ Iraq Docs blog).

OK, and now Ron Paul is advocating more tax dollars for education... Y’all have got to get your act together if you want to have a better chance of tricking people into voting for him...

Exactly, focus on the positive and what unites, not taking pot shots at each other or the president.. Wolf is basically asking them to complain about President Bush, that is not a vision of the future.. and too many aren’t smart enough to avoid the trap.

[spacejunkie]

ditto...I’m a woman too and thought the comment was cute...

and the guy that responded about being a horndog was just trying to be funny imo. :)

GO ROMNEY AND FRED THOMPSON. Good ticket, eh?

[Shortstop7]

lol.....that guy is just a total nutcase, imho.

[Tennessee Nana]

Hunter great answer...family

[Petronski]

I mean wiener.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Does Ron Paul know that 9/11 happened?

He sure does! He said it was America's fault!

I think it shows pettiness on Tancredo's part.

[processing please hold]

That’s a good question.

Ron Paul : next time we see him on the stage, he’ll be in a straitjacket.
