Why wouldn’t Fox have an online poll?? It’s crazy.

It is crazy ... and now FOX is going to report this text vote as serious news?

What's a Democrat pollster doing analyzing a Republican debate?

I guess he's the only guy they could find who wasn't already in the bag for one of the guys on stage.

My pleasure. Thank lil’bit for the original post. There has to be a reason why Fox does it this way but I’m too tired to figure out what that is!

Anyway my first successful text message was for FRED!

"Sure I'll vote for him for president of KFC. Why not."

Makes sense since he comes from Arkansas where a chicken coop is on every corner.

enough with the conspiracy theory. Maybe Fred’s banking on the fact SC gave McAmnesty the boot last go around and that his stance on immigration makes it likely it’ll happen again when people are given the opportunity to vote for a candidate with views similar to their own on the subject.

think the FOX folks may have gotten word of the coming big endorsements, and may, just may be jumping on the Fred bandwagon.

Freds for Fred

Paul haters: try saying, ‘here’s why he’s wrong’ not ‘hes a loon!’

I'm not a Paul hater.

I have seen numerous posts that have attempted to take his ideas to task, though. Invariably, the response has been something the effect "you're a Paul hater!"

It ends up being much easier to sum it up by pointing out that, although his ideas (many of them) sound good, in principle, they don't work in the real world-- at least, not anymore. In summation: He's a loon.

I agree with that part - where I disagree with Fred is his opposition to the Human Life Amendment and the fact that he doesn’t seem to have any enthusiasm for the pro-life cause. I get the feeling that it is not really a terribly important issue in his book.

Fred is like most of the mainstream Gop. The votes of religious conservatives are wonderful. Just don’t let them govern. It’s much akin to the democrat relationship to blacks — until this year.

"I wonder who the girl in the front works for. A lot of these people think this is an American Idol contest in their criticisms. '

she's really cute, but nothing she said makes any sense, she must be a Paulistinian

What does this lady mean by he hasn’t been consistent? Perhaps she hasn’t been consistent in paying attention?

She lied to get in and is a confirmed supporter of Ron Paul.

If he had trouble hearing their responses, then why did he assume that they had advocated in favor of a stronger response to Iran’s provocation? Why not just say he couldn’t hear what the others had said?

And when did he condemn what was written in his newletters? In the next edition after the offending comments? Or just now?

Israel is a military ally. Mr. Paul seems troubled by the military all together.

Cadell says nobody made mistakes. McCain just insulted the American People for not supporting his amnesty-lite plan and yet it’t not a mistake. Looks like Cadell is supporting the other media RINO McCain

Wanted to point out that SC has some strong voting rules too..You won’t see any or many shenanigans like we saw in NH and Iowa...No busloads of new voters from other states..IN SC you have to be registered for 30 days before you can vote..checked that out yesterday...

we’ll see what the SC primary vote brings..Hope it’s a large swing to Fred after tonight’s great debate.

How come Sean didn’t interview Ron Paul?

A spark of sanity from Sean's mind? Safety issues for the audience because of Paul's jerk supporters? Paul's show on Comedy Central was starting and he didn't have time? Who knows, who cares?

Next to Duncan Hunter, FRED has been the most consistent of all these R candidates. I can’t see it any other way.

It IS crazy. Ron Paul and his merry jammer spammers will always win that stupid type of polling.
