Watching Thompson now. Softball questions from Hannity.
I am furious that Fred Thompson is yacking away on Hannity & Colmes right now! What a coward.
You read me wrong Paul would have and desired a declared war on Bin Laden etc. He has not supported the war in Iraq since before it started.
McCain says the Dix and JFK attacks were evidence that Islamic extremism is on our shores. Neglects to mention that his immigration bill would have made opportunities for each of the illegal immigrant offenders to legalize their residence here.
Great Point!
Of course.
That is the usual Romney spin.
Anyone who dares ask a question you don’t like could be a plant.
Get a grip. That guy brought out just another ROmney phonyism.

I’m there.
I agree completely. I don't think Paul is right on Iraq and misses the point that, as Tancredo said, we're under attack because it's a dictate of their religion.
Nevertheless, I can't get myself to knock a guy who believes so passionately in the Constitution.

On balancing the need for increased national security versus a free society, Giuliani said American inventiveness would prevail. "You can't lock everybody down and create curfews and make people wait three hours every time they travel," Giuliani said. But Giuliani said it may be time for a national identification system. "We are going to have to give up a little more of our privacy than we're used to," said Giuliani, who was term-limited last fall.[Source: "Giuliani Reassures UCD Students ; Americans Have To `Relax,' Despite Sept. 11..." Rocky Mountain News. Denver, Colo.: May 15, 2002. pg. 4.A ]While Giuliani shrugged off speculation that he may head the new Cabinet-level Department of Homeland Security, proposed earlier this month by President Bush, he said he supports security measures such as issuing national identification cards. "There's a trade-off that we have to make about what we perceive of as our privacy and protection of everyone else in society," he said. "That is not in any way an erosion of any kind of fundamental freedoms."

I guess I wrongly thought that was understood.
He must’ve been asleep that day. 9/11
NO question in my mind that Duncan Hunter won this debate solidly.
She “slipped” and said “the war in Vietnam” then said, “I’m sorry, the war in Iraq”. Yeah right....
Is anyone else watching Fred Thompson now?
The debates would have been better if Fred Thompson had been there. I hope he’s official before the next one.
Is Fred going to face tough questions before a hostile crowd? No? Then he isn’t worth listening to tonight. He hasn’t earned the right to criticize these other men from the safety of an MSM barcalounger.
I scared all the cats out of the room yelling "BRAVO" so loud!
(and also I loved the stupid looks on the faces of Rudy and McCain!)
I'm not claiming anything.
I put up a statement from Ron Paul
