Viewers were asked to text in their thoughts on who won the debate. Ron Paul received 34%,...This is not American Idol people. We are electing our candidate for President of the United States to probably run against another Clinton. Can we get serious here? I'm disappointed that FNC would pull such a unscientific stunt.

That internet poll was worthless.
Not an internet poll. A text messaging poll. And only one vote per phone number allowed. We tested it and it didn't allow multiple votes from the same phone. The last NH debate with FNC was also a texting poll, and Ron Paul won that too. I can't recall if Romney eventually caught up with him after a day or two (all the oldies finally having read their cellphone manuals on how to text).

“When we got Saddam and they got the purple finger vote, our job was finished.”
That is a very dangerous and short-sighted idea. If we leave Iraq without stabilizing it as an enemy of terrorism, we leave ourselves wide open to a huge increase in terrorism.
Iran could just walk in and take it over.
Our enemies are fighting us on many fronts, the largest one being Iraq.
If we leave, we not only send a message about our willingness to defend ourselves and our interests. Kind of like the message we sent after Somalia, and after Lebanon. It will embolden our enemies, and give them a base from which to attack us.
And, like before the war, Iraq will once again put its WMD factories on-line.
If they do that, and we find out about it... how can we ever go back to put them out of business again, after we blew it the first time?
How can we ever prosecute another war, no matter how in-your-face the evidence of threats may be?

Ron Paul is an embarrassment to what little dignity the Republican Party still can muster.Exactly. With Paul in the debates--these 'so called' debates are a joke, and they demean the Party. Thompson was smart to stay away from these 'circus acts', and he should continue to stay away until clowns like Paul are not invited. With Paul in there, it's doing nothing more than embarrassing the Republican Party, and as you said, removing what little dignity the debates have.
After all, Paul has as much chance as I do to get nominated. I stand corrected, I probably have a BETTER chance...lol

The job of stopping radical islam will never be finished if we cover our heads in the sand. Iraq was a big problem, Afghanistan was a big problem, Iran IS a Bigger problem. The interference by Iran by importing terrorism and intimidation is a bigger problem than Sunni, Shia, Kurd differences put together. leaving will only open the door so Iran can help themselves. Paul ought to recognize the problems with illegal immigration and see a parallel, but he is immersed in self value that few others see.
If we pull out we will not comprehend what dying will be.
If we can’t stand up for freedom and democratic society in a country that has the desire and just needs the means, we have no business promoting our own democracy. There is a lot of value involved and retreating cheapens the value of defending the right thing.

I'm guessing that many, many registered voters don't text.
Or that there are a lot of cut and run anti-Americans and pro terrorists who do.

The Pauliacs are a riot. Ron Paul is the comic relief in these debates, and I know that at some point he will be excluded from the debates along with the other second tier candidates. Most will face reality and leave on their own account. Ron Paul is like a mad dog in this tenacity. He will have to be “put down” by those sponsoring the debates and the GOP officials. I will sorely miss him.

He did not win the debate; He won the Fox News text poll.
Precisely.
Furthermore, it was not a debate. It was a media question/answer session with candidates.

Texting is the most unscientific poll there is. Does anybody over 25 years old actually text ? Does anybody under 25 actually stand in lines to vote in an actual election ? Not to mention the fact that only registered Republicans should be polled about a Republican debate.
Why don't you write Hannity, O'Reilly, and Hume a nice letter complaining about it? Just don't tell them you hang out at a hate site (what O'Reilly has been calling FreeRepublic).
Get back to me when you hear from them. LOL.

I am not technically lame, but I am not going to waste my time texting a TV poll.
I did not vote the American Idol either...

I have no way of proving that this poll was manipulated. I can tell you what my gutt feeling is. When the primaries come along, it’s going to become rather appearant what has taken place.
IMO, McCain won the debate. I won’t be voting for him, but he came off the most presidential, and the other candidates seemed to heap praise on him. That made him look superior in stature.
I didn’t watch the whole thing, so I’m not really the guy who should be picking these things, but others seem to have noted the same thing.
I will tell you I thought Huckabee’s response to Paul was powerful. I know others didn’t like it one bit.
Take care.

First off I do not for a minute rely on Casino online gambling.com for the latest and greatest political news coverage. Secondly where are the numbers posted, something newsworthy. You might as well have posted this from the DAILY KRAP..er..I meant KOS. I mean gimme a break.

I’m disappointed that FNC would pull such a unscientific stunt.
And that they already saw what a disaster it was during the last text message poll that Fox had! Why in the hell would they do it AGAIN?? WHY?
To: McGruff
The text messagers have spoken.
They are never wrong.
