Is it just me,or does Ron Paul sound like he is whining when he answers a question?

It is very annoying!

But on FR we don’t have to perpetuate the ‘spin’ 15 years after the event. There may be Freepers reading this thread who were in pre-school then. That is why I took the time to correct the record.

If it was his ‘macaca’ moment, we have to learn that we have to speak up when ‘spin’ really is lying, if we want any Republicans to win office anywhere. The DBM is our opponent.

Slow and steady is still polling ahead of Mitt though...

Primary day is when it counts, we'll see what happens.

I agree with you. Romney is maybe over preped. Fred speaks well, right pace, folksy etc..... but I’m not sure he’s completley up to speed on everything.... Brownback talks and I find myself thinking of something else... right now RUDY is the guy. (I’ll never vote for RUDY)... but he’s got it right now.

Olbermann critisized FreeRepublic? Awesome!

I take it as an honor to have FreeRepublic signaled out by that idiot.

I think Romney is overprepped too. He sounds too canned with his answers.

Rudy annoys me just to listen to him. Hillary hillary hillary.......sheesh.

All I was hoping for Fred in his first debate was no errors and a few singles. Looks like he did that and hit a double or two so I’m happy.

I will be needing some home runs eventually though.

“I thought maybe your condescention could use to be returned to you...”

Fair enough, just mention it to me...I’m sure you’re a woman whom believes in Jesus, yes? Believes in the golden rule?

“Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.”

The internet is a bit hard to read, and often there is misintpertation. If I’m being an ass, just let me know I’m being rude or atleast sound rude. I try not to be too offensive to anyone. I disagree with behaviour, not really with the people themselves.

That being said, I didn’t intend to be condesending. It was merely something I didn’t notice, nor did I think it held high importance ie how Fred dressed.

I think Hunter is getting better and better too. He certainly has the right answers! No hemming and hawing, either...

I agree ...... I’m afraid a RUDY nomination keeps lots of people at home. (maybe even me)

“Yeah... I’m watching this on MSNBC now. As much as I hate to say this... Rudy is head and sholders above the others.”

How so?
