“Oh, I see, you don’t want to talk about that nasty OT. Just the NT, so you skip right past half of the Bible and only claim to believe literally the NT. Nice try.”

No, I didn’t skip anything. I stated clearly that what they did in the Old Testament was proper. I believe it literally and fully. What I was trying to get across to you is that it was a different period and different rules applied. Israel in the OT was an earthly kingdom and earthly rules applied. In the New Testament, Jesus has established a heavenly kingdom. Different ball game.

True on policy issues. He did little damage to himself on policy (although Fred’s video was quite damning), wasn’t challenged much, and handled himself well overall.

No. Read the FReeRepublic Dem. Debate on CNN by search.

[sierrascrapper]

Has anyone found a poll to vote in? I can’t seem to find anything on CNN as of yet relating to this debate.

Those DNC plants were skinheads.

[Chuck54]

General Rumpranger?

Now that’s hillarious.

[RatsDawg]

Kerr = just another plant for Hillary.

[Professional]

Frankly, I can’t understand how the Republicans, after years of dirty tricks by the liberal media, even bothered with this CNN debate. Also, can’t believe so many Freepers bothered to watch? I got dragged into it...

[advance_copy]

did CNN deliberately find the dumbest least attractive bunch of [DemocRATS pretending to be] registered Republicans?

Yes.

[gpapa]

General Kerr was also on the steering committee of “Veterans for Kerry.”

[Sammie42]

what the candidates said is almost moot, we should be more concerned about the questions and the way CNN obviously contrived this entire debate from the silly cartoons and songs, the gotcha questions, the plants. The cartoon of Vice President Cheney was despicable! CNN wanted to make the republican candidates look like homophobes, war mongers, racists, etc

[lesser_satan]

He did the ultimate firewalk on that one. He is very Klintoon-esque.

[newzjunkey]

The debate was frustrating to watch, it was like a 2 hour long Rudy/Romney commercial. Huckabee and McCain also seemed to get more time.

Worth repeating. It was quite an annoying "debate" and the most obvious moment of all came with the last question which coincidentally went to Rudy about baseball and Mitt because it had to do with the Red Sox.

Not surprised the gay general had previously endorsed Hillary. It was political theater, just with a different kind of sock-puppet.

[Gondring]

Campaign donations are available online. If it’s so obvious and there’s such huge fraud, you should easily be able to discern it and demonstrate your claims with facts.

It would astonish me if you found you were right, considering how many Ron Paul supporters I have encountered (much to my initial surprise, but conservatives are usually the quiet ones!).

[RatsDawg]

Could you imagine if someone from a Republican Camp asked a question at a Democrat debate? There would be hell raised all over the MSM.

[TornadoAlley3]

Thanks, I watched the debate and followed along with the thread, but I turned TV off after debate was over.

[reasonisfaith]

Hunter wins.

[lesser_satan]

He’s a panderer of the first order.

[mojo114]

Was very embarrassing for everyone.
