Ron Paul has my vote. Enough of expanding the empire. Let’s keep this country safe and secure.

[Just Lori]

It’s impossible to follow a thread like this while cooking dinner! WHO COOKED THIS THING UP? WTH is Chrissy Matthews doing here?

[Sun]

Duncan Hunter told how he had the double fence built which reduced smuggling of narcotics 90%, and he wants it extended 8,000+ miles so that immigrants will knock on the FRONT DOOR.

Hunter has been more effective on borders than any politician, including Tancredo. Nothing against Tancredo, though, as he’s trying very hard.

[AliVeritas]

Yikes. Rudy spot.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Rudy’s being given a chance to explain his pro-life position.

Bottom line: He supports a woman’s right to “choose”.

[Reagan Man]

Romney nails Rooty on his pro-abortion position.

Rooty`s lying again and again and again.....

He favors PBA!

[ShandaLear]

Rudi just got aborted.

[jennyjenny]

I think he’s doing fine, but there’s something about a man who is that tan that makes me uncomfortable.

[kidd]

Rudy and abortion again

I give him an ‘F’

(for phoney)

[Jane Austen]

McCain sure is weird.

[Guenevere]

I'm to share the computer with hubby tonight...(not home, on camping trip).

..so can't post much but I'm watching like crazy!

Sheesh, now Giuliani says he hates abortion.....yeah, sure.

[mylife]

I concur. And Fred IS Reaganesque

Many of the folks on stage tonight are to eager to gladhand

[Raquel]

I’m liking Romney’s position on life. He also hit up McCain on McCain/Feingold...here we go again...Rudy’s clarification on abortion...shit...

[Texas_Jarhead]

"The first candidate to tell Matthews to eat shit and die gets my vote."

I'm with ya there...

[txradioguy]

Big whoop. He’s weak on defense...has the entirely wrong answer on Iraq and sounds more like a Democrat 99% of the time.

He’s no Republican...and doesn’t deserve to hold Reagan’s...let alone 43’s jock.

This settling for someone who claims to be Republican...be it Ron or Rudy... because they are strong on one or two issues will only serve to destroy the Conservative movement not advance it.

Please tell me how RINO Ron can actually further the Goldwater/Reagan Conservative Momement?

[oneamericanvoice]

“The first candidate to tell Matthews to eat shit and die gets my vote.”

Tancredo may get close, but the candidate that isn’t in attendance tonight is the one that would do it...Fred Thompson.

[La Enchiladita]

Okay, sorry, nothing personal...

Glad you appreciate him.

[SE Mom]

He’s got his wits about him:)

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Well, at least his tan isn’t orange like John Kerry’s.

[kidd]

Hunter needs more questions.
