Lightning Round coming up.
[Let’s hope they don’t do the lights thing like last time. That was a total waste.]
It’s not you. He cut off Romeny but wanted Rudy to sing for him.
thanks much for the link! First one I found that worked.
It shows, too much Ethanol in the OJ.,
the inference of calling him Christopher was the best.
its what I call my son when I want to let him know who the adult is LOL
Is he going to become an unperson?
It’s not kicking the can down the road if he plans to attack it immediately.
OMG!! My spleen! Stop! You’re killing me!!!
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
Ronald Reagan would disagree with you. His goal was to expand the Republican base by attracting Democrats. If you are happy to depend exclusively on the shrinking GOP base, however, then apparently you are also happy to pay the price of having President Hillary take office.
newbee wants to play divider.
You shouldn’t advertise you don’t know candidates, it makes
you sound stupid, but you knew this already
Sadly I have to agree.
Lightening Round? Can someone ZOT Paul for being a Troll?
These questions should be given to the Dem candidates.
Let’s see how they compare to our side!
“What do you think about it, Christopher?”
CLASSIC!!
Yep and you are addressing yourself to one. His whole point on this thread has been “Ron Paul=Good. Anyone critical of Paul=evil”.
So perhaps YOU will care to try answering this? Or is sneering at everyone else the sum total of what you Paulbots can come up with?
(Spare me the hypocrisy of claiming you aren’t one. You rushed right in to defend the absurdity of what the Paulbots here have been saying on this thread. Your actions speak far louder then words)
Simple challenge to you Paulites. With NO slogans. NO demagoguery. NO sliming everyone else who doesn’t share your faith. Tell me HOW Paul would do anything. Here is his “Issues page”. NOT a word about what or how he would do anything. Just a bunch of slogans strung together basically screaming bile at everyone and everything.

See, you need us to support Dr Paul. We have no reason to support Dr Paul. So please explain to us WHAT and HOW a Paul Administration would do anything. Do that with OUT sliming any one. No name calling, no hysteric hyper emotive rhetoric. None of the usual Paulite personal attacks in place of reason argument. No cut and pasting of sound bite statements from Paul speeches. NO statements of what YOU think Paul means. REAL plans with documented links so we can read them for ourselves.
Not just you, I noticed it too—BUT he seems to be interrupting Rudy and using up his time too much!
The lawyer answer is actually correct. There would be no time to get Congressional approval, which would warn the enemy’s defenses anyway. There certainly would be 24 or 48 hours of time to have lawyers provide an opinion on if the President has authority under the Iraq war authorization to attack a weapons supplier of the enemy in Iraq.
You HAVE to let the lawyers provide an opinion. If they say GO, you go with no fear of committing an ILLEGAL act, in the context that you act in good faith as to obeying the Constitution. If they say NO GO, then to go would be an act contrary to the Constitution — and none of us wants a president to violate the Constitution.
Good answer. No, excellent answer.
The internet is a Godsend for law enforcement. Read an interesting article in the USA Today about some of the cases that were solved using people’s myspace pages as evidence against them.
I’ll find it if anybody cares.
And I liked the long pause that followed. Mathews didn’t know how to respond.
I do believe that Thompson just gave a little bitch slap to Chrissy!
