Duncan wasnt pandering to unions, Duncan was saying the Republican Party should go after Reagan Democrats.I've been a Hunter supporter before most people heard of him but I call'em as I see'em. Unions are not an innate evil but it is evil to take union members money and support candidates they don't support. I would have liked a bit more balance but I agree that the republicans can not win without what were once Reagan democrats and now trend as independents or moderate republicans.

so far read every post and heard every word of the debate
besides that dumbass Ron Paul, we look great.
Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter are the ticket
but Rudy is best at attacking Hillary, at that he is
a master.
lastly, Maria needs to get laid, she is some bitchy today

30 second lightening round? They just gave Huckabee 1 minute and a half for his rambling.

I thought that Fred looked thin and old. Glad that it wasn’t just me. He also looks a little like IKE.
Well, Huckabee has gone one wayyyy longer than 30 seconds... so much for “lightning round”
To: Captain Kirk

Like I said since my IQ is greater than 90. 91 is nothing to brag about and knock of the personal attacks.
Thanks.

Yes... Huckabee was right on, and I might add, I don’t even trust the Doctor’s that much with my health care, and I know I would not trust a Government Doctor with my health.

We disagree. From the standpoint of winning elections, it is a good thing if Paul can attract Democrats to join the GOP.How would RP get them to vote for someone taking real Conservative or Republican positions after RP drops out?

Nope. I have yet to get a single answer. Been flamed for ASKING the question, but not gotten a single answer. Seems screaming bile at everyone for not worshiping their Paul god, or pouting that everyone is being mean to them, is the some total of the Paulites debate skills.

That was a horrible answer by Huck. 15 secs thrown away followed by a big, gosh that’s a tough question.
To: adm5
I think the exchange was this. Mathews commented that the last part of Thompson’s answer was unnecessary. Fred quickly responded,” That’s your opinion Christopher”, which took Chwissy aback because he used the word opinion which nailed him because moderators should not be offering opinions on candidates length of answers.
To: traditional1
You're correct. Attacks on Thompson by DuncanDonuts is a way of life on this thread today.Oyvey, the squished bug callind the windshield dirty.
To: CounterCounterCulture
Huckabee pointedly won’t say that he would veto the SCHIP act if he was presented with it like president Bush was. This non-answer is going to haunt him.
