Brownback on immigration... trainwreck to follow.

[Jim Noble]

The funny thing is the fact that you know the “top tier” candidates are watching this somewhere squirming.

Why are they squirming?

[Guenevere]

Brownback chokes on the illegal immigration issue.

Question for empty podium Romney:

Q: What about your Mormon Marriott corp. profitting off of harcore porn in your hotels?

Romney: Hey look, we make a fortune selling porn. I'm a capitalist. We don't make any money off cigarettes, so we banned smoking at every Marriott Hotel.

Senator Thompson....

[cripplecreek]

Why are they squirming?

Cowardice.

[DocRock]

Question to Senator Thompson.... “You opposed marriage amendment... do you not understand the importance of this issue”. (my paraphrase)

[TomGuy]

Brownback says he voted against the amnesty bill this year.

Yeh, those million-plus faxes and phone calls that closed the Senate switchboard had some influence.

[jmyrlefuller]

Janet Folger asks an absent McCain about Campaign Finance Reform.

[RasterMaster]

John McCain...pick up the white courtesy phone....

[Guenevere]

GOOD...Hold the absent candidates accountable for their no show!!!!

[DocRock]

Question to McCain... “You sued Wisconsin ‘Righ to life’, was it really your goal to gag people and groups as required by your law”?

[Eric Blair 2084]

Nourishment is not extraordinary means; it is ordinary means.

If God intended for healthy viable adult human beings to have someone help feed them, than there should be somebody walking behind me with a Quarter Pounder and fries all day in case I get hungry.

There is a big difference between that and abortion for example. God and nature intended a healthy unborn human being to be born.

“Why are they squirming?”

Because they know pro-life, conservatives are going to finally figure out that they chickened out of this debate - JUST LIKE THE DEMS.

Question of the Day: What do the GOP front runners have in common with the Democrat presidential candidates?

Answer: All were afraid to debate in the Values Voters debate.

[RatsDawg]

Cox actually sounds good!

Cox (paraphrase): “...Paris Hilton, Jesse Ventura, OJ Simpson! He’s in the news”

[outlawcam]

What does Paul give us to agree with in his foreign policy?

Two things in particular: Before committing to war, a declaration must be issued by Congress. And as a general rule, we should avoid entangling alliances that will draw us into more war.
