Fair tax, Steph has to explain what it is, needs to have a better name,

[mainepatsfan]

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that he’ll be much more quiet during the Dem debate.

[GOP_Raider]

Certainly. All Vick needs to do is run in Cynthia McKinney’s old district, put a “D” next to his name on the ballot, and he’s a contenda!!

[mainepatsfan]

Hey if Heath Shuler can make it....

[Son House]

who is winning poll at abc web site, think abcnews.con?

[GOP_Raider]

Steffie is fast at interrupting when a response is not going in the direction he wants.

"That's my Georgie!"

You know their is really no difference between the Freeper purists and the Kosy Kids. The both demand that their every political whimsy be slavishly worshiped by all political candidates.

Problem is their aren’t enough people who agree with you feverish fringes to elect a dog catcher, much less a President.

[TomGuy]

How long have politicians been promising to revise the tax code?

I can remember 20+ years or more.

If elected, I doubt any of them do any major revisions.

[Son House]

Tancredo co-sponcer of fair tax, most important, income tax manipulates behavior, too much power for Gov.

Brownback, flat tax, put optional flat tax in tax code,

[George W. Bush]

Problem is their aren’t enough people who agree with you feverish fringes to elect a dog catcher, much less a President.

You're the most notorious bomb-thrower on the forum. Then when people point it out because they're sick of you crapping all over these threads, you call everyone extremists.

Maybe you should consider working on your sex life. Seriously.

[Son House]

e-mail, defining mistake,

Hunter; contemplating run as dem

Paul, not forcible enough

Romney, opposed to abortion and supported choice,

Julliane; in 30 sec?

McCain; ‘67, fire on ship, go to another carrier, thought about it in prison;

Brown; not saying I love you enough

Tancredo; Jesus Christ is savior

[Son House]

I missed a couple.

[ClaireSolt]

That’s quotable. Mitt: “Barrack has gone from Jane Fonda to Dr. Strangelove in one week.”

We stopped the Dubai ports deal. IIRC, you were one of the strongest advocates for it.

We stopped the Miers SC nomination. IIRC, you were one of the strongest advocates for her.

We stopped the Comprehensive Amnesty for Illegals, 3 times (1 in 2006, and 2 in 2007). IIRC, you were one of the strongest advocates for it, each time.

Get enough of us feverish fringers upriled, and we can.

[kabar]

Don’t waste your time with this intellectual lightweight. He is long on emotion, short on substance.

[ClaireSolt]

Yiu ae in good form this am. Sock it to em!

[Son House]

Tancredo, restore HOPE, ahhhhh,

Thompson, start building pro America

Brownback, rebuild family, appoint next Justice to overturn abortion

McCain; fully prepared to fight islamic extremeism

Juliannne; restore hope, show experience

Romney; strenghten Military, economy, family

[Son House]

Huckabee; foto our boss, citizen is real boss, mainstreet not wall street

Paul, never use excutive priviledge

Hunter, economic patriotism, stop China cheating, family.

Steph say’s debate is over.

[rineaux]

In Asia George so I missed it. How did they do?

[EQAndyBuzz]

It would be so much easier to just ask the same questions they asked the RATS.

This way America really can compare and contrast all the candidates.

It is ridiculous to ask Hillary what kind of tree she is then ask McCain when did he stop beating his wife.
