Have at it..

Hillary is the most Presidential of the Democrats.

ofercrisake newb, didn't they give you any infiltration hints at all ?

[phillyfanatic]

Well, each state is so odd, NH likes the independent style of John and might not like Fred,though he was funny, cogent, and thoughtful tonight. So was Rudy. Mitt did OK but was constantly attacked by Huck and John. No, I too have concerns about John and Huck for differing reasons.

You bet I noticed that, and wondered what the conversation was. You never know...

I also noticed the way Obama was forcing a hug when he shook hands. Ugh.

I'm thrilled to have been of service! ;o)
I'm looking forward to our state primary on Feb. 5th. I am waiting for the snow to melt in the front yard so I can get my "Fred Thompson 08" yard sign out there! We're supposed to be in the 40's, up to the mid 50's next week, so I won't have to wait long! I also have to get my FredHead oval yuppie sticker on my van!

That’s why they taught us that stuff. Learnin’ the kids good.

Richardson reminds me of a guy on SNL. You know who I mean?

I only watched part of the GOP debate.

I came in during the Immigration discussion and watched until the end. I didn’t stick around for the Dems.

Couple of thoughts:

-When McCain made the crack about Romney being about “change”, it reminded me of Bob Dole’s barb to Bush in 88: “STOP LYING ABOUT MY RECORD!”. I’d like to see Frank Luntz’s “dial” machine when McCain made that crack.

-Romney, Thompson and Rudy all seemed fine. (They’re my first, second, and third choices for President, respectively.)

-I can’t stand Huckabee, but I thought he came across well. I saw a glimpse of what people like about him. If I was completely ignorant of anything outside this debate, I could even say he seemed “Presidential”.

-Ron Paul just takes up space.

Couldn’t agree with you more. What we say and do is very important.

However, you do know that Duncan Hunter cares about America and it’s people and would do no harm to them?

[tomkat]

uhhhhhhh ... nope

(haven't watched it since belushi exploded)

[La Enchiladita]

Amen, my FRiend.
The list of McCain’s felonies and misdemeanors is seared in my memory too.
For real. It isn’t mentioned enough how he and Kerry betrayed their FELLOW Vietnam veterans/POWs.
Oh, and don’t forget how he co-sponsored the “anti-torture” bill, smearing our honorable soldiers and sailors serving at Gitmo.

[antceecee]

Geez...
I just can’t wait to wear my Fred GAP sweatshirt and my Fred UGGS out to pick up the Mornin’ paper!!!!
Hopefully the neighborhood thugs haven’t knocked down my Fred for Prez... sign in muh front yard!... especially since we have been manuring the lawn to get it greener...(Hey ...ya think they will write us off as loonies and maybe he will get a bit o’ traction?).

(Tee hee... they will never never know....)

[La Enchiladita]

No.
