[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I like Tanc and Hunter, but realistically neither has a shot.

All of the candidates (on stage) are fine conservatives. Since I have some streaks of libertarianism in me, I wouldn't go for Huckabee or Brownback or Keyes because of their big government socon views.

Alan Keyes up first. Alan Keyes clean-shaven!

[GovernmentIsTheProblem]

i hosted the super duper extra value voters debate in my backyeard last night, and NONE of the candidates showed up!

i guess none of them really care about values!

even worse i had to eat all the snacks myself.

If this is a preview of the Freeper commentary, I’ll go watch the football game.

Keyes got rid of his Shaggy-like goatee?

grow up

I’ll go watch the football game.

Packers are 2-0. Best record in the NFL right now.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Coincidentally Brownback just made a Packers reference.

People are just waiting for the debate to start - I am sure the commentary will get more serious now that the opening statements are starting.

[DocRock]

Hunter’s opening statement covered National security, getting jobs back from China, (I think he said communist China), and God based moral values. I’m late, but feel free to correct anything I missed.

Why are you even on this thread? I know it’s your right. But why would you make the choice to come and irritate people you otherwise have so much in common with.

[cripplecreek]

I’m dividing my time between the Tigers/Indians game and the debate.

[RasterMaster]

Be careful....Brownback might be channeling you RIGHT NOW!

[CounterCounterCulture]

John Cox says you can’t serve God and money. Exactly.

John Cox is a businessman. We need an outsider, who has run a business and gotten results.

[RasterMaster]

“Run a business”...yea, just like Ross Perot?

[GulfBreeze]

Texans are 2-0 too.

...of course that qualifies this already as their best season ever.

[Reagan Man]

Politics 101 states, second tier candidates don’t make a difference. This debate serves no good purpose.

Besides, we don’t need to hear from Alan Keyes every fours years.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Huckabee says this is unlike any debate he’s been in. He cannot imagine Chris Matthews opening in prayer. LOL

[AuntB]

“Besides, we don’t need to hear from Alan Keyes every fours years.”

On that we can agree.

Serves as equal time in response to extra time allotted prior for Rudy McRomneyson.
