‘Fredo’ Huckabee?

[Issaquahking]

No military experience, weak on immigration...okay for a moderate conservative, and ahead of many other in the pack. Duncan Hunter is the man for the job...maybe Thompson as a VP on the ticket?

Paul was an embarrassment tonight.

Overall, the Republican candidates are head and shoulders above anything the Dems have to offer. I like Hunter, Romney, Huckabee and even Tancredo. I’m not into McCain or Guiliani.

If we’re all dead, we won’t have any liberty.

I’m not sure if it was Huck, Rudy, or one of the Mods that kept laughing every time Paul was asked a question. But it was very rude and I would say thing if it was happening to any other candidate.

Brownback to me seems like a walking sleeping pill.

-there is a thread going that says Fred DID a pre-recorded Leno show in which he announced...........

[The Pack Knight]

Dang, I’m missing baseball for this crap?

[HonestConservative]

Why would I forget OR remember. He’s from another dimension, he certainly isn’t going to get the conservative vote.

It looks like Guliani tried to have the illegals that “don’t commit crimes” live free in his city. You want illegal labor, you’ll get illegal crime.

The one thing that I came away with from this debate was this: We have a hellava great group of guys to choose from compared with the DemocRATS.

There will be plenty of opportunity.....China’s not going to change anytime soon.

[Fudd Fan]

TRippo that!!

[Bobbisox]

Why would you call Thompson's "arrogance" his undoing? I think Thompson's strategy will prove to be the best move yet. Why would Thompson want to appear with such a large group? Time is short for all the candidates in one of these debates.

Ron Paul and Sam Brownback should bow out as their numbers are an embarrassment and will not improve over time. John McCain had his time and it is not now. Tom Tancrado and Duncan Hunter are also very good, but there must be a time when reality tells them it is over.

Huckabee, Guiliani, Romney, and Thompson should finish out this primary within our party. It is time to thin this group down to the serious, electable candidates.

..and yet Paul thinks that Osama and company have the right to say who is or isn’t allowed in Saudi Arabia..

Ron Paul is a FRAUD. He is no conservative. He is a moderate libertarian who is leading far to many good conservatives off the cliff simply because he rolled the constitution into a flute and plays a pied piper tune they like to hear..

[jmyrlefuller]

The FR poll is up on the homepage.

Thanks, mods.

“OK, who was it that predicted that Hannity would have Rudy on first?

You win!!!”

Oh man, the FOX coverage with Fred makes me wanna scream!

These idiot pundits don’t have a clue what’s going on with real America.....yet they keep running there mouths.

“I can’t text, so I am left out of the voting.”

Ditto for me.

[processing please hold]
