CNN will hold this debate, hosted by Anderson Cooper, with submitted questions in video form via YouTube.
8pm ET/5pm PT
Hosted by Anderson Cooper
Candidates participating:
Bill Bennett will probably never be on a CNN program again.
Anderson Cooper was obviously shocked, shocked I say"
Hunter always does well. The problem is that his number never gets called.
He needs to go a step further and let cat out of the bag on the Paul Plants
We need to find out about these “questioners”
Any FReeper Volunteers?...
Let us check Youtube account and track back these “questioners” backgrounds.
“Romney - nervous. Seemed uncomfortable, was AWFUL on the gay question...”
Romney supports “gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military” and he was being pinned down on it.
Every time he refused to change his position, he only would say that now is not the time to get into it.
And EVERY night! Amen!
How would you feel if they asked evangelicals to keep a "low profile" too?
Seriously, this is America. We're founded on belief of the unalienable right to Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness. If they want to walk hand-and-hand, shop together in public and do other things you would do with your loved ones they have that right. If you don't want to see it, stay home or live in the wilderness.
We don't need to be supporting Balkanization. Keeping gays in a "low profile" is what fosters the toe-tapping for hookups in airport bathrooms, it fosters a spread of disease, feelings of separateness from the American dream and makes them ripe targets for divisive radical socialists. It's ultimately corrosive to our national interests nearly as much as the appeasement of multiculturalism and undermining of assimilation of immigrants.
I concur.
It’s an old poll. Disregard.
I don’t think CNN is running a poll with this one. Perhaps they know as much as we do that it would be spammed by the Paulinas.
Hillary probably planted him with that question, and sent him to the Republican Debate.
Go get them Bill Bennet!!!!
Drudge needs to push this story now!
“Romney hates the South. Et tu, Mitt?”
Then you better be prepared to say “Et tu, Fred” also, because Fred gave virtually the same answer as Mitt did to the question. But you just want to dislike Mitt, don’t you.
Great post - you nailed it!! The Mitt vs. his religion comments have got to go. I guess a Jew can’t run for president then?? How about a Quaker?? Oops, we already had one (Nixon). The Freepers who are bashing him are most likely part of the evangelical ‘movement’ - what a joke. Christians?? BULLS$$T. I was baptized a Catholic. I don’t need to be ‘born’ again. Christ has always and will always be with me. Go ahead all you evangelical Freepers...flame away.
One, I don't believe CNN didn't know.
Two, if they didn't know, what kind of new organization are they?
Three, if one and two are true, I want his job.
Romney? Off balance, unsure of himself.
McCain: Dignified, "gravitas".
Rudy loves the sound of his own voice - he just won't shut up.
I hope that’s all he suffers.
He should gather up some bodyguards.
Bennett is fine, but I will never forget when he and Jack Kemp flew to CA after their prop 187 vote passed, and called them all racists. Back in the mid 90’s.
Do you remember that?
Paul ?..I wouldn’t trust Paul with matches
As usual Duncan Hunter was the best, and Thompson was second, and as usual, they focused on the Romney-Giuliani-McCain-Huckabee quartet.
I saw a side of Romney I DIDN’T like - his response to the question about the Confederate Flag was an immediate, visceral, and unthought response of exactly what he is - a limousine liberal from the Northeast.
Ron Paul and his choir demonstrated their total lack of touch with reality on foreign policy AGAIN - a most important issue.
John McCain AGAIN demonstrated he hasn’t got the slightest idea about the Geneva Convention is all about and his lack of knowledge of American history. Nobody condones torture, and I have have reservations about “Waterboarding” but there are times and situations that call for extreme measures not generally employed in the Civilian line.
My guess is that response just lost him the nomination.
Huckabee sounds good except when he’s responding to the issue of illegals.
Giuliani sounds like he is trying his best to reach out to the conservative wing on a number of issues.
I’m beginning to think that if Thompson or Hunter can;t make it, a Giuliani/Huckabee ticket would be best.
Despite what I have said before though, the thought of Hillary CLinton and the bloated obscenity called her husband again profaining the White House is strong enough an inducement to get my vote for ANYBODY the Republicans put up.
And by and large, most of the Republican Candidates are much stronger than ANY candidates the Dems are running.
