Republican Presidential Candidate Debate #14 – Milford, New Hampshire 01/06/08 - Official Discussion Thread
Fox News Channel; Roundtable format
Candidates the gatekeepers are allowing to participating:
I thought Romney was good at the end.
He helped himself a lot tonight!
Fred did super tonight.
He (Fred) was the adult at the table.
Consistant.
McCain spoke well tonite, he did his best to disguise his amnesty support.
Which clause in the constitution empowers the government to force citizens to purchase insurance? What happened to individual liberty?
Ok. I’ve listened to an hour and 1/2 of this, and followed along with the Fred love-in on this thread. I just don’t get it. He’s dull. He mumbles. He does not appear to want to be there. I’m sorry... There is no way this man can energize Americans enough to win. It shows in his polls, and this explains his poor polling... I’ll stay undecided until the circus comes to my town, but I’m afraid Fred is not on my short list.
Took him a couple of seconds to get going, but I thought Fred’s summation was very good. I was about to write the same on Mitt until he hit the ‘change, change, change’ pothole again.
Looks just like my scorecard!
Chuck Norris is an idiot for supporting the Amnesty loving Huckabee.
I’m going to beat up Chuck for this lol.
Wallace was about the toughest questioner I’ve seen in a debate.....some almost cheap shots.
Luntz. Not that idiot again...
my take is this
John McLettuce...........if I ever had a reason to kick this ahat aside it is his dissing of the real Donald, Donald Rumsfeld..........
Mitt .............too bad he is a liberal
Buckyahuck........he lies.......case closed........
Rooty ( are you wering this dress)
he is a serious man I give him that,he is however neither aconservative or a republican
Fred Dalton Thompson........he did not have the 9th inning homer tonight but...........YOU KNOW AND I KNOW THAT
FRED CAN LEAD US AND RIGHTLY SO.
I guess I shouldn’t repeat what one guy says.
My mistake.
Somehow I think there is truth too it, outside his church circles.
McCain is going to energize the base? The same base that he spends so much time pissing off???
WOW Romney won according to Luntz’s group.
the audience on Fox in New Hampshire thinks Romney won the debate and Huck flubbed.
Hey hey hey! Mitt wins with the voters!!!
Whoa, Ike cheating on Mamie has never been proved to even a shadow of doubt. And even if he did with his secretary, he was fighting a war, where he was a prime assassination target, thousands of miles away from home.
Whoa!
Mitt kicked ass with the focus group.
I’m stunned. I didn’t think he did that well.

Penalties for not obtaining health care in 2008 [Happy New Year from ROMNEYCARE]
This is a government MANDATED program. You have absolutely no choice about participation. I don't have healthcare and I DO pay as I go. I've been fortunate not to have extremely high healthcare needs but right now, I can't afford $400 - $500 a month for insurance.
