Funny... he is the most real candidate on that stage (outside of Hunter). He is doing great also.

Yes but he was using the term historically as a predictor of future economic activity.
That answer will come back to bite Fred on replay. He indicated two different beliefs in the context of one debate.
To: traditional1
As much as I hate to say this, Giuliani’s attacks against Hillary are the red meat that the base wants to hear.
Essentially, everybody up there wants the same thing.
Stopping Hillary Clinton is paramount!

Is there anyway we can clone the good parts from ALL the candidates (even Dr. Paul, LOL) and make our own brand new candidate? :-)

>> For the same reason they haven’t asked Hunter a question in 5-10 minutes. They don’t want a conservative.
Then they wouldn’t have asked Thompson questions either. The focus on frontrunners is not a conspiracy ... its a necessity. At this point, people want to hear from Romney, Giuliani and Thompson ... the others are just wasting people’s time.

If you don't think it is important for Conservatives to stand strong with the Republican party, just let the Democrats own the Oval office, then suddenly like Tancredo you will see the light, but by then it would be too late.

..you hit on the dirty little secret, the President isn’t Constitutionally authorized to do half of what Paul is promising, that legislation has to start in Congress, where he is at now.

To: BubbaBasher
That’s my concern, too. Just not known widely, and will not move up. Tancredo is a one-issue candidate (the Border), and Romney wants to be all things to all people.

38 million illegals are here to stay and they ain’t NUThing you can do about it! :( Well giving them amnesty won't help! Enforce the laws already on the books, go after employers for hiring the illegals, and build Hunter's fence to keep the deported ones from coming back!

I just observed your opinion stinks. Thank you for verifying that.
Oh, BTW, I think Duncan is doing wonderfully, but so is Fred for his first time out.

I am 20 miles north of the largest border grossing in the world.

My city spends tens of millions of dollars a year supporting illegals with health care, etc.
