The questions now are becoming more and more DNC talking points to get sound bites from the answers for the MSM. They are stating talking points, then asking, “what do you think?”

Chirac secured a Nuclear Plant for saddam and the Israelis took it out. He also said sons.

I am out of here. I joined and contributed to this forum for many years. But since my IQ is over 90 guess I just don’t fit in.

Objectivly on presentation ALONE, I think there is a comfort level increasing with Romney. He is comming across as very polished. Guilini, is comming across as a tad defensive.
Thompson is giving me the impression of playing catch up since he has not participated in any of these debates.
I don’t think this is changing anything. It is going to stay a three way race.
I wish the others would just drop out but they are going to stay in so they can barter for convention speech time.

So, Hunter has effectively said "no attacks without Congressional approval"...that sound bite will come back to haunt him. Listen to the replay and you'll see that you're mistaken.
Hunter said if there's time, it would be right to go to Congress, but for a fleeting target, the President must make the call, with or without assistance of our allies.

More people are paying attention to Hunter than the RINOs think.
***I certainly hope so.

Dirty little D.C. secret: The closest advisor to any President is his general counsel. They are there to offer insight into and interpretation of the Constiution. Right. That's like expecting a cardiologist to be an expert in plastic surgery. Different specialties exist for a reason.

Even though FL won't let anybody drill for tourist/beach reasons, you have to wonder about hurricanes, too. Not that I'm against drilling in FL.
This is a really good debate; I'm surprised.

Well maybe Fred is wearing cosmetics..lol!
His voice sounds weak to me, I think he may be ill for real, his voice is very soft
So far I like his positions, he doesn’t seem to really whip out answers though, he is not a debater.
