Then he backed it up with facts

That is why some don’t like Hunter. They arn’t use to hearing the truth and facts.

[RasterMaster]

Ru Paul rambling again....

[Kaslin]

Ron Paul what a lunatic

[kabar]

Thompson has been solid so far. He has demonstrated a grasp of the issues and he is not pandering.

[davidosborne]

LOL, Fred did not articulate his position on Iraq very clearly. Too much rhetoric and not enough policy substance..

[rodguy911]

Wow!!HUgh projectons here!

[txhurl]

Somebody said Hunter’s a freeper?

[wastedyears]

This is at the end of the trading day, and there are plenty of companies that have CNBC on during the day. This should get a lot of exposure.

[BKerr]

He’s correct on the issues though. I’m just not sure he can win.

[BubbaBasher]

We're going broke! Oh No!

[RoseofTexas]

I’ve been thinking that too of late. Paul is a plant from SOROS. McVAIN is such a PUTZ!

[angelcindy]

Don’t you mean MAD pres?

[MamaB]

He will not get my vote. He is way too liberal.

[tiredoflaundry]

Just got home. How is it going so far?

[Huck]

Brownback is such a waste of time. Fred’s answer was ok. McCain’s was better.

[wastedyears]

He did an hour long electronic press conference here; his son Sam is his ‘ambassador’ on here, Duncan Hunter Ambassador.

[padre35]

Fred is doing pretty good, his voice sound soff though, maybe a chest cold or somehting?

[kabar]

Thompson has been solid so far. He has demonstrated a grasp of the issues and he is not pandering.

[SHEENA26]

Right on! Hitlery will look like a frumpy housewife next to Romney.

[AuntB]

Thanks for the ping, Guenevere. I was just listening to Laura Ingraham and Cong. Ted Poe, on with the father of the girl a Mexican illegal alien raped and murdered, then laughed about it. This is the case that the Bush Administration will have lawyers at the Supreme court sitting beside this monster, pleading for him to escape a Texas court ordered execution simply because Mexico says so.

I would pay $1000 to for this debate to ask each of these candidates if they, as president, would take Bush’s postion.

I bet Fred, Rudy, Brownback, Huckabee, McCain would.
