Maybe Chrissy should ask them if they believe in God instead of evolution/pure liberalism, Of course McCain eagerly answers “yes”...idiot.

[ChessExpert]

The question has a gotcha quality.

[StoneWall Brigade]

Fred would be in a love fest with McCain

[DocRock]

"Another Home run from Hunter on what the government does well and what they do poorly."

DocRock paraphrase:

Well: Kill bad guys
Poor: Keep bad guys out, (boarder)

[Knitting A Conundrum]

I liked that answer...

[johnny7]

Bad night for Rooty...

[La Enchiladita]

Sunni/shia.... this is funneee....

[Bush Revolution]

Mitt has done the best to me.

[Capt. Jake]

Kudos to Rudy for answering the Shiite Sunni question. That was a gotcha for sure.

Hunter - major failure of the government — NOT securing the border. I didn’t catch what he said the government did right.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Which ones raised their hands on that one? It looked like 3 or 4.

[AliVeritas]

Feinstein? Don’t get me started.

Remember Jim Jones, Milk, Moscone, Ron Pelosi, Dan White, the shooting at the beach house?

[Texas_Jarhead]

How many of these politico.com questions have come from Red states?

just curious

[acsrp38]

You did notice however that NONE of the pub candidates (whether you like them or not) ducked MSLSD like the dems are ducking FOX. Ya think that even RINOS actually answer a hostile questions???

[Old_Mil]

Hunter is our champion for a lot of things...

[Halls]

It just proves to me that McCain is an idiot!

[Miztiki]

Some of these questions are ridiculous and having nothing to do with their capability of being president.

They may as well ask what their favorite flavor of ice cream is.

[jackieaxe]

Do you believe in evolution? What kind of @#$%ing question is that? I agree with a previous post, will Rush get to moderate the next Demo debate? Bozo would have been a better moderator.

[SE Mom]

He’s at the far end of the right- as Kucinich is the far left..

[bnelson44]

Rudy Giuliani did well on the Sunni / Shiite question. Wonder who else on the panel has a clue.
