Huck, you live with your head up your a$$. If you are breaking a LAW, you hide in the shadows!!! Good grief what an idiot.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Fred on “change” was a HOME RUN. “Change has been the talk of elections since the dawn of elections if you’re not an incumbent...” Then a great speech on speaking truths.

I'm not a supporter of Fred (my candidate hasn't been allowed in the last two debate), but Fred said here EXACTLY was I was thinking during the Democratic Debate last night regarding "change."

Huck’s immigration plan:

Send ‘em all home.

But, if they don’t go, give ‘em a tuition break!

[AmericanInTokyo]

These guys are offering nothing new tonight. After all, they are politicians. They have rehearsed this to no end.

[Wallaby]

What’s with FoxNews showing a slide of the very same Romney quotation McCain is using against him at the same time McCain is using it?

[HonestConservative]

I swear we are twins separated at birth...I was just thinking that this morning.

Rickels is actually funny.

[Political Junkie Too]

In McCain's mind, forcing someone who didn't say "Mother, may I?" to take two little steps forward instead of one giant step forward, is not amnesty.

“Watch them wiggle and squirm.”

Huckster is smooth about amnesty. He plays the “yahoo” card by claiming the imposition of all sorts of penalties and enforcement, then motions them meaningless to the money men by talking about “touch backs” and other code words for mass amnesty.

[rintense]

Huck’s panties are in a twist... doesn’t want to answer Mitt.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

McCain just made a little slip: “Many will be deported unfortunately——” and then he amended “or fortunately, depending how you look at it...”

[Road Warrior ‘04]

yeah, except Thompson does not appear to be subdued by handlers, a move that still baffles me.

He shouldn't be reigned in by handlers. He does his best on the move. Just honest speak. I admire him for that. The others are all talking from "talking points".

[taildragger]

IT’s obvious they have a hair across their butt against Fred, it sucks.

[Shortstop7]

OH oh......Mitt and Huck fighting again.

[joebuck]

Whine!!!! Huck’s doing bad

[mylife]

Beautiful wasn’t it? slapped down in 20 ft high letters!

[Def Conservative]

Why does Huckabee always say enforcing the law and not giving in state tuition will punish the child...if you’re 18 and going to college you’re an ADULT MORON! A person going off to college is not a child, stop with that line

[A. Morgan]

McCain screaming: Who stole the strawberries?

[StarFan]

Romney did say that McCain’s plan was reasonable HOWEVER that was the FIRST plan and not the AMENDED one in which 46 members of the GOP strongly rejected it. McNasty called the electorate vile names after the defeat and now tells us he got the message and wants to move on. Fred should call him on it.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Here comes that damned Huck “live with their heads up” crap. I guess grand larcenists and drunk drivers should live with their heads up, too. Sheesh. What a liar and a fool.

[spectre]

Go Chris, Go!!!

Mitt nails Huckabee!!!
