Question to Huckabee... I cut taxes 94 times as governor, against a wind, uphill ... I can’t print money or borrow money, the fed gov should do the same thing.

Why are they squirming?

Probably because they almost changed their minds and showed up for this demeaning dog-and-pony show. Red-light-green-light? Good grief.

I don’t agree that the top four candidates are wimps for not showing up; it was really all or none - if only one of the top tier candidates did show up, he would automatically, unfortunately, be subconsciously grouped with these (statistically speaking) losers. That’s just the way the game works today.

It is up tp Congress to determine the manner in which it declares war.
Congress did so in the much discussed War Resolution that Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and John Kerry all voted in favor of.

Secondly, our priorities should be with our allies, not with avoiding war.

God does not want us to murder what He has created. Natural law.

Rabbi to Tanc... we need a time out... (regarding imigration), rambling response... another problem, it is not that so many people come here, but we don’t ask them to assimate, multi language voting documents and goverment forms... we need to thing about things that connect us... glue... the English language. Don’t push one for English and two for Spanish

to Tancredo from the rabbi: we understand a great need to stop illegal immigration. What about your policy on legal immigration?

Tancredo talks about a “time out.” The problem is our side we do not require assimilation. Documents in various languages, dividing, balkanizing... bilingual good for individuals but harms our country. The glue is the English language. No more 1 for english and 2 for spanish.

Oh please, they showed up for all of the other debates with the same second tier candidates. No, the reason they didn’t show up is that they simply didn’t want to have to answer tough questions from people like Janet Folger.

I don’t think preachers should preach politics from the pulpit.

Ron Paul would have us choose our allies based on what causes the least friction in the world.
That means turning our backs on countries like Israel.

And the best of luck getting the electorate to agree to a 30% sales tax (paying $1.30 for every $1.00 you spend).
