Well, Kid, get a second job!

Quit being a slouch!

lol

Yes I have heard Laura’s show on occasion; I enjoy it immensely. Not surprised that she quotes WND. Just surprised that Hannity would reference them, since he is the head cheerleader for Rooty-toot Guiliani.

I actually dislike this debate as much as the Youtube debate -- seems like all the questions are completely slanted towards the "conservative right" and don't highlight any differences between the candidates (don't get me wrong, I'm about as far right as you can get). Come on, this isn't a love fest.

And Alan Keys....there's got to be some threshold for people to get into these debate, and shouldn't be able to file a few papers and the next day be on stage.

Next question: young kid talks about budget control. Will you balance the budget. All say yes.

Mr. Cox goes on an opus.

[GulfBreeze]

Then why are you here if you’re otherwise so "all understanding".

[Dr. Thorne]

Thought you were going to watch the football game. Since you don't care for this debate, don't watch it. If you don't care for this thread, get lost. Your endless repitition of "Who cares?" is meaningless.

Go away.

Wife of arrested border agent up....

[CounterCounterCulture]

questions that most people don’t care about

What? All the Christians just went up in the rapture and I missed it? Darn.

[DocRock]

Agent Ramos wife up... my husband is in jail, the smugler is given immunity, free health care and suing for $5mil, is this the kind of border policy if you were elected...

They joke, finally we get to vote "NO".

[RasterMaster]

Terri Shaivo’s brother up....

[AuntB]

You must be kidding. Seven candidates who are going nowhere respond to questions that most people don’t care about.

Since you have it all figured out, why don't you tell us what we should care about. I see you're using the Bush administration tactic of 'marginalizing' we 'comical' people. What's the matter, don't have a candidate that can stand on a conservative record?

[padre35]

“......questions that most people don’t care about?”

REally? Values was the #1 issue in 2004, Values Voters are 30% or more of the Republican Party and we vote in every single election from primaries to run offs to special elections...

You may want to think about that for a moment.

[DocRock]

Terri Schivo relative, question... would you persue and support terminals to have food and water...

Pual votes no, all other yes

[jmyrlefuller]

Bobby Schindler up. Asks about Terri Schiavo.

Would you protect the rights of the disabled?

Paul says no, all others say yes.

[newzjunkey]

I like Duncan and voted for Keyes in 2000. I just have no allusions they have a chance at the nomination.

[EveningStar]

What if you’re not a Christian? :)

[cripplecreek]

Kill em all Paul. LOL

[dschapin]

Now that Terri’s brother asked his question we know why Fred was scared to show up.

[DocRock]

Rick Scarbourogh, pastor... askes about porn... finding their way into major hotels, "would you prosecute even "white collar" pornographers?"

all green lights, but Ron Paul
