That is why Huck is often called a Nanny Stater
I am sorry that is classified information.
Fair analysis. I’d downgrade Senator Thompson and bump up Duncan Hunter a little, but that’s all.
Paul is running for a different audience, entirely. Huckabee has, for some reason, gained the traction that Hunter hasn’t. Strange.
what does posting a repeat of someone’s post mean?
Only for those who think Presidents should never worry about what is legal.
Every President has a lawyer to give them advice. They might not take the advice, but you want to know what you are getting into.
“What is it ws FR gals and Minn. guys?”
Doncha know? She loves him for his mind!!!
(snicker,snicker!)
sorry MNJohnnie, sometimes I just can’t help myself.
You posted it,what did you mean?
YUP!!!!
He nailed every answer....
It is clear that he is the only one with an actual long standing record on actually being conservative.... not just acting conservative for the race....
but so nice to see him deliver well, and stick to his guns on the issues.....
I still wonder why “protectionist” of America and Americans is such a “dirty word” to some.....
We all see what happens when DC doesn’t protect the American people or their jobs....
LOL!!!!
it was a smile!
wow....sorry...you feeling a tad paranoid tonight?
Doncha know? She loves him for his mind!!!
Well you know that cannot be it, after all you read my posts.
“Ron Paul reminds me of a disgruntled christmas elf.”
That’s what it is! Couldn’t put my finger on it- lol
Next debate should be MCCain, Romney, Rudy, FT and Hunter.
>>like any great revolution....one heart, one mind at a time...<<
I noticed several posting here today were convinced to support Hunter. He will continue to build momentum, Duncan is just too good to keep a secret forever.
I assume you are still supporting him.
Try again.
The MSM has taken up with Huck as he is pro amnesty and has in the past made kind remarks about his Ark friends, the Clintoons. The MSM helps with the name and face time
OF COURSE!!
I don’t think I could stand voting for anyone else..but most of all— I AM EXCITED ABOUT VOTING FOR AND SUPPORTING DUNCAN!!!
Unfortunately, the Congress and the President didn't check with you prior to joining. Be that as it may, PNTR was granted to China. Prior to that, the PRC required an annual waiver to maintain free trade status. The waiver for the PRC had been in effect since 1980. Every year between 1989 and 1999, legislation was introduced in Congress to disapprove the President's waiver. The legislation had sought to tie free trade with China to meeting certain human rights conditions that go beyond freedom of emigration. All such attempted legislation failed to pass. The requirement of an annual waiver was inconsistent with the rules of the World Trade Organization, and for the PRC to join the WTO, Congressional action was needed to grant PNTR to the PRC. This was accomplished in late-1999, allowing the PRC to join WTO in the following year.
I howled at this, and then a couple of posts later, you give us this:
McCain looks like he is wearing a black sweater. the lapels do not show on the video. evil mr. rogers.
Pure comedy -- you're killin' me here. :)))
Kinda disagree with your grades. I have been leaning towards Huck but he pretty much soured me with his union answer as well as the energy answer.
Winners: Fred stole the show,
Mitt, very strong pro America message,
Rudy as always very articulate and not afraid to mix it up with HilaryCare and nailed his Canada joke as well as the London argument
Held their own: McCain
Losers: Duncan, almost scary with his delivery although the words were good his intensity was not
Tancredo: ok we get the immigration problem, what else
Huck: Sounded too much like a Dem with all the gummit economics
Brownback: Needed to stand out and didn’t
Ron Pat Paulson: Bring in the Rubber Truck & straightjacket
Pray for W and Our Troops
