Thanks for the report. I saw parts of the debate and was impressed with the quality of the guys we have running. I would feel comfortable with any of them as president (except Paul).

I even agree with much of what he says but he seems to not know that we were attacked on 9/11 by a bunch of radical Islamists who want to either convert us or kill us.

"If someone else shows up you are being replaced and out of here...this room is for undecided."

That comment tells me every thing I need to know about these stupid pollings

I’m thinking more like the Larouche wing than the Kucinich wing.

I'm BUMPING your post, because I agree with your assessment completely.

Duncan Hunter is THE conservtive.
*Immigration & Border Defense
*Fair Trade with China
*Military Credentials & Service
*Funding our Military
*Abortion
*Years of service in the House
*Family Values
*War on Terror

This man's conservative credentials are impecable.
I guess that's why the media is marginalizing him.

WAKE UP EVERYBODY - THE MEDIA IS TRYING TO HIDE HIM FROM US!

Are we gonna fall for it again? and again? and again!

I'm praying for Republicans to find sanity and hoping to get to cast my vote for Duncan Hunter in 2008.

Remind him that the NAZIS were the National SOCIALIST Workers' Party. NAZIS advocated regulated industry, gun control, abortion, and euthanasia.

That shuts them up quick.

What was it?

I would love to know if you thought Frank Luntz was actually pushing participants to favor Rudy, or were those honest assessments that just happened to get featured?

Also same question with Mike Huckabee. I thought he impressed me the most, yet according to many on these threads he is just the new MSM darling they have decided to push to get Fred out of the race, and further split the social conservative vote.

Were you allowed free reign of thought, or were you asked more leading questions that benefited some (Rudy and Mike), at the exclusion of others (Fred). The only one that somewhat disappointed me was Mitt. I had liked him, and his chances before, but for some reason I just didn't "like" him last night. Did anyone else have that opinion?

small government is not insane. Paul’s core liberatian views are great. His head is in the sand when it comes to modern day realities. He’s an ostrich when it comes to real life foreign policy and refuses to realize that the modern world’s enemies have different tactics and weapons than the British red coats 225 years ago.

I watched the debate in it’s entirety (the first for me) and have to say you Floridian Republicans were great. Never seen so much enthusiasm from a group of republicans before.

“Ron Paul is certifiably insane” - it was in the pre-debate portion of the show.

Thank you for saying what needed to be said. He and his supporters should be booted out of the party. They are not Republicans. Everytime I hear libertarian in the future I will remember Ron Paul and his supporters.

I love how you guys (and gals) shot down FNC’s text poll that Alan Colmes happily pronounced Ron Paul as the winner. When asked who thought Ron Paul won NOT 1 OF YOU RAISED YOUR HAND. NOT 1!

Thank you and all the Florida republicans. You gave me great hope for this country. On to victory!

Didn’t see the 6:20 report, but in the 8:20 one, Fred Thompson seemed to get the most favorable coverage.

On that general subject, see the third quote on my FR home page, the two-paragraph one by Hayek.

“Hunter is a very good man. He’s well grounded to the point of being scarey. He believes as I do on right to life, illegal immigration, fair trade, defense, China.. this guy is amazing.

Look folks, these men are not just voicing good policy on their own behalf, they are voicing good policy so the other candidates will have to tow the line.

Duncan Hunter is a man who should not only be in the next debate, but he should be given equal time with Rudy, Fred, Romney and McCain. There was a selective effort to limit Hunter’s participation last evening. That was wrong. The guy only got 1% of the vote, but hell he was only asked a limited number of questions 4 or 5, and brought in to participate a couple of other times.

This telegraphed that he was non-viable and effectively froze him out of support. At least that’s the way I see it.

Folks, I have made decision not to vote for anyone except a true conservative this year.”

Nobody else is getting a dime from me. The party has lost its soul and its ability to connect the dots.

If they push Hunter out, I’m going too.

Gotta go write Hunter a check!

See ya!

>>What was it?

Somehow Woodstock came up, and McCain commented that he didn’t attend, that he was a little tied up at the time. This warranted a standing ovation, as well as applause from most of his primary opponents.

Luntz definitely told us through his polling and research that as of today Hillary Clinton will win in a landslide.

He's wrong! You Floridians and the candidates proved that last night.

Me too, our news media and the press are controlling who gets into the primaries. People are not given equal publicity, equal treatment, because heck, they are unknown, and why publicise an unknown?
