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:
That’s my 2 as well. They may seem diametrically opposed but I believe 911 changed Rudy and that the WOT will determine his SCOTUS picks so I’m cool with him.
That being said, I pray every night for a miracle for Fred. It’s crazy how qualified he is and how little press he gets. Very frustrating.
You started drinking before the debate didn’t you?
Now he’s rambling......sigh.
Huckabee touting off his foreign policy experience sounds like Obama. “I visited here before, I visited there” Great, go join the Peace Corps
I bet they are proportioning the questions based on national polling percentages.
you should hone your skills :0)
Wow! Chris Wallace just destroyed him with that question. Huck is even weaker than I remember. This man is simply not ready for primetime
OOOOH can I come too!!
That’s why I get the big bucks, txrad.
Politicians want to be reelected. Nothing else matters.
I am not a social conservative. I am a “cut my taxes and protect my country” conservative. I’d be OK with anyone besides McCain or Huckabee getting the nomination. McCain lost my vote when he was against the Bush tax cuts. Huckabee is not as hard on islamic extremism as I’d like a president to be. And the FairTax plan that he supports is a croc of BS. I’m more of a flat tax person. Keep the current structure and get rid of the estate tax, reduce the income taxes lowering the marginal rates, eliminate the capital gains tax, then reduce government services and entitlements.
So that leaves Mitt, Rudy, and Fred. Mitt is going to have some real problems winning over independents and Reagan democrats if he can’t even win some of these early contests that he poured millions into.
So that leaves Fred and Rudy. Fred does not have the personality appeal needed to win over the country in the election. Rudy CAN win against the democrat while pulling in some independents and preventing a bloomberg 3rd party intervention.
You are not watching the same thing I am. Fred may speak slow but his thoughts are spot on.
McCain saying he knows Musharef
Reminds me of Pelosi’s Syrian peace tour.
Wallace is cutting Huck a new one!
Limbaugh’s truth of life #4
Liberalism is spreading misery equally.
Yep.
Chris Wallace just nailed the Huckster on national security.
I’ve been everywhere, man.
I’ve been here and there, man.
And now I’m not sure what to say cuz I have no foreign policy experience, so I’m gonna ramble on and on....
Might I remind you and the rest of the thread that last night you were very pleased that Huck supports a National Ban on Smoking, and stated that since he supports such a thing, you liked him even more.
Your thoughts on who is winning and who is not this evening do not come as a surprise to me.

Big time! He's not answering anything because he knows nothing!
How many actors? One.
How many haberdashers? One.
How many Generals? Two.
How many Governors? Many. We may see a change this election.
