Republican Presidential Candidate Debate #15–Myrtle Beach, SC 01/10/08 - Official Discussion Thread

McCain is maximizing face time and Fox has been helping him do that.

Slick Willard Slippery, per oooozual.

I think Fred has become the new Hunter, they are not asking him many questions.

[The Pack Knight]

I think the point is that, judging by his answer, Paul’s Rules of Engagement probably wouldn’t be much different than Clinton’s.

[no dems]

McCain has attacked Rumsfeld ever since he started running. That’s how he won NH.

Most people realize that Rummy did a sucky job of running that war. It took us getting our butts kicked in ‘06 for GW to fire him that week.

[Hoodlum91]

Paul is the entertainment. Hunter would just add substance. Just who the entertainment industry chooses

[Tarpon]

McCain kicks Rumsfeld because he thinks the drive bys love him for it.

In the Rep debates, the Rep candidates are constantly talking about Reagan and many of the questions were about Reagan and conservatism.

Contrast to the Dem debates. Any questions about the other recent two term president, Clinton? Where are the questions about “Clinton liberalism” or the candidates telling the audience how they would be the next Clinton?

Interesting how the Repubs embrace their hero and the Dems run from their party hero like scalded dogs...

[NordP]

Sanity being key to being President material, that is.

[big'ol_freeper]

Guiliani thinks every question is about Reagan now.

Easy Rudy question on Palestine...he hits it hard, shoots at McCain ??? WTF?

[RoseofTexas]

Is it my imagination or is FOX deliberately by passing Fred with questions. It’s looks a little lopsided!

[Forgiven_Sinner]

Brit got applause for pointing out R. Paul was attacking the other candidates for being war mongers, when he agreed with them. “What is the basis of your complaint? They all deferred to the commander on the scene.”

Paul seemed flustered.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I bet even Hillary would have answered to the right of Paul on that Iranian question.

[CASchack]

Rudy took it to McCain.

[jdm]

lol!

[no dems]

Oooooh. Rudy just went after McCain. Told him that he wasn’t the only one on stage who supported the surge.

[Little_GTO]

>I think Fred has become the new Hunter, they are not asking him many questions.

Part of the plan

[McGruff]

McCain attacking Rumsfeld???

It's not the first time either. He's done it in every debate so far.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Excuse me, but Christians aren't stupid. We know that Fred was exposing Huck's hypocrisy.

So what about Christians who disagree? They're stupid? What Fred is starting to flirt with is an anti-evangelical attitude.
