WRONG. Sarah’s non-participation is OUR loss, not hers!

No Onyx, it just confirms the rest of the field is the invasion of the Gelded Lilliputian's !!! For those in Rio Linda, that means, Oh never mind :-)...

Paul is wrong in Islamic terrorists. Suicidal warriors are the most dangerous. Especially if they get nukes.

He also claimed that Al Qaeda were not in Iraq.

Al Qaeda had training camps in Iraq

Why is Paul getting all the time? Maybe someone wants him to start his third party run and give zero the election.

Ron Paul reminds me (and always has).....of a grenade with the pin pulled, rolling around on the floor - ready to “go” at any second.

I agree with you. Sarah is smart (if she does indeed run) to wait for some to buy the farm. A couple have tonight IMHO!

Bachmann took the bait and validated the Newsweek article. May not matter in the end, but it is what it is.

T-Paw knows he’s toast so he’s just making sure Bachmann is toast with him. No way Bachmann could allow herself to be a punching bag all night but at the same time sparring with T-Paw doesn’t do her any good. Seems to me T-Paw is more interested in bringing down Bachmann than raising himself up.

What a circus! Entertaining but worrysome, too.

After tonight, the only one I could consider voting for is Cain, and I don’t think he can win.

We need new blood. Badly.

Fox is guilty of lack of institutional control.

This “debate” has gone bat-feces crazy.

David Plouffe will probably send Fox a Thank You bouquet tomorrow.
