"Ron Paul is scarry. He doesn’t even undersand Jihad. 1) Convert; 2) Die 3) Kill them first by any means neccessary." There, Ron Paul should have said that in the first place. Ron Paul hitting on the reliance on the UN to go to war, that I agree with him on.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Brownback: opposed to open borders, supported Duncan’s border fence, against North American Union, for NAFTA, for trade, enforce our trade laws especially towards China.

Easy for Ron Paul: No NAU, out of UN, WTO, NAFTA, CAFTA (I missed a few). Follow constitution on trade and war.

You’ve been baiting since you came to this thread. Please stop.

Can’t declare war on a non-entity like Al-Queda, Dr Paul

[TomGuy]

Listening on valuesvoterdebate.com, I keep hearing some whispers on the streaming feed while the panelists are speaking.

[Guenevere]

Heard it just now.

[outlawcam]

Paul gives us a lot to agree with him on in his foreign policy positions. I just can’t countenance his stance, in particular, on the correct next course of action concerning Iraq. That is a deal killer for me.

[Pistolshot]

What you are hearing are the directors talking to the moderators.

Hunter: China has free trade in one direction. Sweeping American products off shelves and erasing jobs. American trucking families will lose jobs. No to NAU.

Keyes will undo it all. Don’t surrender our borders. We have had a betrayal of sovereignty of United States. We say we want secure borders and they refuse to give it to us. We have lost control of those supposed to protect our sovereignty.

Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, Mitt Romney and Fred Thompson have all chosen not to participate in the Values Voter Debate being moderated by WND Editor Joseph Farah.

“Isn’t it amazing they all have more important things to do to get elected president than to meet face to face with Christian and Jewish leaders who represent millions and millions of votes?” asked Farah who called them “gutless wonders” in a column previewing tonight’s event.

I STILL like Alan Keyes!...

[P-Marlowe]

The candidates no one supports debate on a channel no one watches.

That is funny.

Excellent!

[TomGuy]

Negative for Keyes: preaching at the listeners.

That may appeal to a few, but it will turn off many.

[cripplecreek]

I agree, there are a lot of things I like about Ron Paul but I just can’t get past his stance on the war.

[padre35]

"Paul gives us a lot to agree with him on in his foreign policy positions. I just can’t countenance his stance, in particular, on the correct next course of action concerning Iraq. That is a deal killer for me." I don't like his Iraq War stance either, what I DO see in Ron Paul is a chance for the Republican party to start concerning itself with the Constitution and limited Govt reach and scope.

[RasterMaster]

Can we keep Keyes in and tell Ron Paul to stick with the fish sticks?

[Guenevere]

I don't see it as preaching.

He cuts through the pc junk like a knife through butter.....he speaks the truth!

[newzjunkey]

Just because it’s true doesn’t mean you have to get angry about it.

Homosexual question.

Keyes: Repect our natural rights, not destroy them.

Hunter: likes Alan’s idea to support the bedrock of our family. Brings up practicing homosexuals in the military which Hunter opposed.

Paul: all rights are individuals, not group. if you want to change people, change through persuasion, not legislation. A group cannot force themselves on anybody else. Opposed affirmative action. Eradicate hate laws.
