I thought Tancredo, Paul, and Hunter seemed the most genuine tonight. I loved it when Paul said that Washington hadn’t changed him - and I thought Tancredo was awesome when he responded to the part about a mission to Mars. Huckabee had the funny line - but Tancredo spoke the truth - the tough cuts and spending restraint have to occur - and the space program is as good a place as any to start.

Of course these three got the least talking time - but that just left more time for the others to dig their own graves. I’m talkin Romney and Juliani for sure. They didn’t do themselves any favors tonight.

Fred Thompson did OK, but I didn’t care for that ad he used - besides it aimed at the wrong guys - Juliani should have been the target.

Huckabee just does not appeal to me. What some see as sincerity - I see as preacher talk. I don’t like the prominence of his faith as a determining factor for the way he would lead this country. I am all for Christian values, but political decisions need to be based on the Constitution, not someone’s interpretation of the Bible - Oh yeah - he bombed on the “What would Jesus do?” question.

Overall - CNN couldn’t have been much more biased. It just becomes sadder and sadder to see the reality and direction of MSM control and influence. Even though I don’t agree with all of you on issues - It is a pleasure to be in the company of some of the most informed folks in the country. I’m afraid the internet is our only hope.

I thought the Huckabee/Tancredo exchange on the Mars question was very telling. Huckabee’s first instinct is, “heck yeah, we’ll spend some more money going to Mars”, and then he got off his funny line on Hillary. And Tancredo called him on it. Spend, spend, spend, you can’t have fiscal restraint, and be all things to all people. Huckabee is a spender, which makes his anti-tax answers sound as hollow as they are.
