Why am I craving a cigarette?

[The Pack Knight]

Identity politics, pure and simple. Huckabee feels their pain, because he's "one of them".

I always thought the vast majority of Republicans were above that sort of thinking, and, really, they are. It's just sad to learn that such a significant minority, as much as 1/3rd, are not.

Unfortunately, 1/3rd of Republicans can give you the nomination this year.

CHANGE...drink

[advertising guy]

so it is ok for a likeable guy to LIE ?

[georgiagirl_pam]

Substance please.
If you have a complaint about his policies and plans, fine.
If you can only complain about his appearance or manner of speaking, you only make yourself look uninformed.
Go FRED!

[REDWOOD99]

Zotted in record time!

[SE Mom]

I liked that Gibson let them talk to EACH OTHER.

Wallace wants to get his face in there.

[commish]

Good god, McCain wants to hold hands with the Dems “Can’t we all just get along.”

[MHT]

Paul was such a distraction last night, except when he mentioned that government involvement accelerates the inflation within a market sector greater than that of general inflation. Otherwise, he was a Democrat plant!

[AmericanMade1776]

You don’t have to worry Mitt doesn’t swing that way.

[Timeout]

OK. McCain says he admires those with a plan and we’ve got to be straight about SS going broke.

But he didn’t PROPOSE ANYTHING! Drives me nuts.

[don-o]

And DOWN goes pickledelf

Mods have a quick finger on the trigger!

[mylife]

Mitt took hold of the third rail.

Bit Fred looks like the boogeyman for taking away grammas SS check. I told you all this was a bad thing to campaign on.

That said, I admire Mitt and McCain for sticking up for him even if Mitt made him look bad.

[trussell]

That’s not what’s important...and if you think it is, you are working on an agenda to discredit FT.

[Democrat_media]

Hope Huckabee gets exposed for being an open borders, pro-Amnesy, liberal.

[A. Morgan]

Hey HC

[Honeybunch]

sure are a lot of really new Freepers tonight....

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I missed a ZOT?

[Little_GTO]

Here is the question I submitted for the debate.

My question is for Congressman Duncan Hunter.

Oh, silly me, I forgot, you didn’t invite Congressman Hunter. How Fair & Balanced is that?

Oh well, you can ask all the other candidates the same question. Start with Governor Romney, since his campaign brochure has a picture of him standing next to a double layer border fence. It’s the same kind of border fence that Congressman Hunter has promised to build.

Question:

Once you take office, how long will it take you to complete a double layer border fence on the Mexican border as mandated in the bill signed last October by President Bush?
