You don’t have the slightest concept of statistics, or you’re lying.

I pick (b).

I said, “The answer to Romney is if you hire a company that uses illegal labor, jobs will keep going to illegals.”

You replied: That is such an ignorant statement.

A Romney robot has spoken. I'm in San Diego, I don't need you lecturing me on illegals.

LOL, Git R Done

I agree w/ Rudy on this. I believe in the Bible, I don’t always believe in human’s interpretation of it or what we are told what everything means.

Huck is also right. What we call allegory was known as Peshers at the time and were a common literary device.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Mitt seems to stumble on whether he has belief in the Bible. There was a lot of stuttering, delay and faltering there. Very interesting. What happened!?

[Miss Didi]

I find him kind of creepy.

The question was what would Jesus do on the death penalty?

Well of course since Jesus was a religious figure liberals would say that it would be a violation of church and state for Jesus to speak on a political issue. Unless of course Jesus agreed with the liberals in which case of course Jesus would be allowed to speak forever on the issue.

[Reagan Man]

I’m growing a strong dislike for the Huckster.

[mad_as_he$$]

He may get kicked out of the LDS tonight!!! naww they want a President - whatever it takes.

[flintsilver7]

You’re right. The thing is, even with government out of the way entirely - or even giving them a “helping hand,” whatever that may be - they need to overcome their cultural issues first.

[Hoodat]

Just speculation. His support is a little too organized,if you know what I mean. I had never even heard of Ron Paul until I heard several die-hard leftist Democrats talking about how they could vote for him. Knowing for a fact that nothing could ever persuade them from voting for anyone other than a Democrat, I immediately grew suspicious. That was about a year ago.

I now go out and see Ron Paul signs in people's yards. And this is months before any primary. It doesn't make sense. Combine this with the fact that the only reason Bill Clinton ever got elected is because there was a third party candidate taking away a substantial piece of the vote. Bill Clinton did not win a majority of the vote either time, and there is no way Hillary could ever do it. The only hope she has is for someone like Paul to run as a third-party candidate and steal votes away from the GOP nominee.

We also found out after '92 that Clinton helped fund Perot's campaign. While I cannot cite Paul's exact donors, I can definitely cite past Clinton behavior.

"Love your neighbor as yourself..."

The Huckster means Mexico..yes, he does.

[BigBlueJon]

Romney was as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.......

[mylife]

Huckabee nails the Bible question,m and knocks it out of the park!

[exit82]

I can’t imagine these Bible questions being asked in a Dem debate.

Hillary would burst into flames or something.

[Eddie01]

What a stupid question. This must be the “alien”/”UFO” gotcha attempt. Lame.

[Fudd Fan]

Wish someone would hold a Bible up in front of Hillary.

If they did she would melt.

[AmericanMade1776]

Thinking of Ron Paul as a Doctor, gives me the creeps.

[BGHater]

No delay. That was actual stuttering and delay from him.

[tioga]

OH, oh...Bible question...

Rudy, Rudy.........lousy answer
Mitt — it’s a guide for my life.........yeah, I believe it’s the Word of God.
Huckabee ....it’s IS what it is. Yes, I believe. Much is allagorical.
Excellent answer by Huckabee.......as it should be.
