you don’t get it! new England is the deepest blue it can be. I hate Frank Luntz and his picks are always the stooopidest people in the room.

[Fudd Fan]

If that’s so, it’s very wise.

[Bigg Red]

A “text vote” to determine the winner?

**
That is so stupid. Why not have people vote on their website? I can’t text, so I am left out of the voting.

[meandog]

I’d take Romney over Guiliani.

I'd hold my nose and vote for moonbat Ron Paul over that duo...at least he had the intestinal fortitude to wear a uniform of our country at one time!

[cripplecreek]

We're getting our asses kicked on this thread tonight. ROFL

Us second tier folks gotta stick together to fix the party even if our candidates aren't the same.

[billbears]

If Chavez gets ICBMs the entire USA is a target

Yes they're all coming to get us. If you could go ahead and get your duct tape and plastic out...

But we cant be isolationists.

Dr. Paul is far from being an isolationist. Handle attacks yes but don't go searching for 'monsters to destroy' either. After 80+ years of Wilsonian foreign policy, it's time to take care of our nation and let the world take care of itself.

[nuconvert]

Lol. Yeah, but one of the candidates was laughing more than the others. Just wondered if anyone recognized who it was.

RE: If he announces on Leno, as it has been suggested, upward to 10 million people will see him do it. The debate, if that's what you want to call it, will have been watched by close to 2 million folks. 10 mil to 2 mil makes sense to me.

You... dont' say?

[bethtopaz]

I’d take Romney over Guiliani.

I say: Me, too!

[fatima]

All of us:)

[stockstrader]

Rudy's answer about 'sanctuary cities' is even MORE lame. He refused to address the fact that NYC became a MAGNET for illegals because of his policies.

He claims that he wanted to get rid of illegals that were lawbreakers. So as long as they aren't breaking the law, it's OK if illegals are there???? SAY WHAT??? By definition, if they are there illegally, they are breaking the law.

He answer to that question is pathetic.

[nuconvert]

Well, I could hear one over the others, but didn’t recognize who it was.

[EagleandLiberty]

Heck, the Mohammedans have been at war with the West since the beginning. If the Paulites think they’ll leave us alone if we leave them alone, then they’re smoking some funky stuff.

WTF Ron was talking about!! If we leave the Middle East, the TERRORISTS would like us. Ron Paul, I doubt LIBERTARIANS would AGREE on that!

[roses of sharon]

I agree, all of our guys, (save the unAmerican bastard), would be great Presidents.

Can’t wait to have FT in the debates, but I will wait until he does to make my decision.

[Nav_Mom]

"That’s classic, traditional conservatism that appeals to everybody, which is why Paul has the strong grassroots support he has now".

National defense is important to me. I have never heard Ron Paul before, He wouldn’t get my vote. period.
I’m glad he is doing so poorly and I now see why.

[armymarinemom]

Oh great, now McCain is the winner? Kill me now. Fox News is dead to me. Another text message poll? unreal.

I hear ya. I'm not paying extra to text and I'm not about to buy a texting package.

[jmyrlefuller]

As am I. My Tracfone doesn’t support SMS.

All they’re going to draw is fairly wealthy young kids with higher-tech cell phones. Not exactly a representative vote.

[Petronski]

Dr. Paul is far from being an isolationist.

He is literally millemeters away.

[John Farson]

oh and put ourselves in hock to the Chinese to pay for it...while complaining about 'evil' Chinese and their trade policies...

These good conservatives here will wake up to this awful truth when a Democrat takes the whitehouse. The mid-term elections should've been a warning.

Wake up now -- while you can still change things.

[Fudd Fan]

I’d take any of the Republican candidates over any of the RATs. Except for RuPaul of course.
