Candidates participating
Funny thing is that I’m not even what would be considered a values voter. More of a NASCAR dad type who just likes these pro American candidates who aren’t afraid to say what they really believe.
“Guarantee litmus test for Tancredo to defend the right-to-life”
Good!
I think Hunter, Tancredo and Brownback are the best on he life issue, but I don’t agree with Brownback on other things.
Did Duncan Hunter happen to mention his personhood-at-conception bill yet?
Rabbi Spero’s question re: rabid jihadists. What would be your way to deal with the thread of radical Islam?
Huckabee: it’s a Theological war... it’s not PC to say that. War is about will. Whoever chooses to leave, loses. It’s not a war about Iraq and Afghanistan; it’s a war about our survival.
Will you do that, pretty please?
“We’re watching a serious debate with quality candidates. Go play with the Whigs. Buh-bye child.”
I challenged the conservative credentials of most of the participants - the best you can do is namecall like a child or a democrat.
Pretty slick. Add another counter to your nick for truth in advertising.
If you go to www.valuesvoterdebate.com and click on the live feed, it will pull up a video box and if you click on the little paragraph icon on the bottom right side of the box you can select “audio only.” That should help at least some with a slow internet connection.
Tancredo: It’s not a war on terror... terror is a tactic. It’s a war against radical extremists. Control our borders. We must deter the terrorists, otherwise, it will happen.
Perot said “Government needs to be run like a business”..deja vu from 1992.
Cox: If Saddam didn’t have oil, he wouldn’t be a threat to the United States.
I’m somewhere between a small c conservative and a small l libertarian.
As you can tell by my nick, I’m an advocate of minimally intrusive government.
Senator Brownback seems to be doing a lot better than usual in this more friendly forumn.
You can FReepmail your address and watch the mail...anything for a Hunter Ranger! More than happy to help those stuck with 1990’s technology! ;-)

Thanx, dschapin - will try that.
Hear that Pinkbell?? :)
Hunter SMACKS Ron Paul again “DON’T BLAME AMERICA FIRST!”
Duncan Hunter to Ron Paul: don’t blame America first.
First, because I'm getting to hear responses from the candidates that the networks seemed to ignore in past debates.
Second, it's nice to listen to a debate without the Leftist (Giuliani), the Nut (McCain) and the Game Show Host (Romney).
This debate has a lot more substance.
Way to go Duncan Hunter - “So I would say to my good friend Ron Paul don’t blame America First.”
“Take your medication. I asked a simple question. What’s your problem, your significant other finally get sick of you and leave tonight? Yuck!”
No you namecalled, because I called out most of the participants in the debate faux-conservatives.
As in phony, pretend, huckster, not conservative.
How about a rousing defense of reparations on behalf of Keyes from you?
Or are you a MIHOP/LIHOP Paul supporter?
Or a supporter of open borders like Huckabee and Brownback?
What a fine group of conservatives.
