i dont hate him. just dont like liberals pretending to be conservative.

[avatar4321]

Ron Paul just got some cheers too.

I thought he said he lowered taxes--maybe he said both. I'm realizing how much Gulianni DOESN'T belong on the same stage with these guys.

he is an actor.....hey i thought the sag writters were on strike.....:laugh2:

[avatar4321]

Paul just got humiliated.

[avatar4321]

McCain had a good reply to Paul. one liner but still amusing.

[avatar4321]

Thompson is being pretty impressive tonight.

[avatar4321]

Romney just has a great answer too.

[hjmick]

Thompson is being pretty impressive tonight.

It's a shame that his campaign does not seem to be getting any traction.

he is a supporting actor not a lead.......

[avatar4321]

From what Ive seen tonight. McCain, Huckabee, and Giuliani are taking shots at Ron Paul. Thompson and Romney are focusing on McCain and Huckabee.

Tells me alot about them. They think they can pick on Paul to look good. makes me think Huckabee and McCain can't challenge Romney or Thompson.

Well, I know if Romney doesnt get the nomination Thompson is the only candidate i could support with a clear conscience.

OOOOOOOOps Ron Pauls' comments on Israel !!!!! Step-child ???? :laugh2:

[avatar4321]

Romney just gave an excellent answer on fixing washington. McCain gets asked if he is part of the problem and he goes back to foreign policy.

[avatar4321]

haha they just asked Huckabee a question which pointed out his answer earlier about cutting taxes and spending was a total lie. its so funny. Huckabee didnt even deny it.

i like mitt....i like thompson.....and i like mccain......yes i know that doesn't make sense but for me it is about who i can trust to actually do what they say and don't bait and switch me......

mccain is a stubborn old prick ...he will win the war in iraq and then bring them home......can't make a prediction of what mitt and thompson will do.....

I trust McCain on Iraq------everything else is iffy as hell.

[avatar4321]

Huckabee answered the religion question very well. And they just asked Ron Paul if he is electible.

i like his pork barrell posistion ..... for me it is the war and money.....the rest will sort itself out.....

my wife just talked through his answer what did he say.....

[hjmick]

Oh for crying out loud! Would somebady tell Giuliani to shut up about 9/11 already?! We get it it, you were mayor of New York on 9/11. We will never forget. It is not enough to get you elected! If that's all you've got, go home!

[Dilloduck]

You may be right on that. Still have a hard time voting for a guy who sucked up to Kerry tho LOL

Is his portrayal of his position accurate? Has he really never taken a pork project? I honestly dont know so im asking.

And let Bush get away with some very cheap shots in 2000 then proceeded to buddy up to him as if nothing had happened.

you know mccain is a crafty old coot......i like that.....anyway look where mccain is and look where kerry is.....

He may be the most electable republican unless he is too hawkish for the rest of the country. Who knows?

its over. im curious who they thought won. im not sure myself.

The focus group says Thompson, the text message poll says Paul.

Paul may have gotten in some zingers but was far from being a winner.

I tend to agree. Thompson did well, perhaps his best showing to date. I think he did better than the rest of the field. I doubt, however, that it will be enough to propel him into the top tier ofcandidates.

thompson seems bored to me......this was his best showing though....

I get the impression that he is less than thrilled with the debates, particularly the questions and the formats. We know he has a fair amount of disdain for the media in general and I tend to think that those feelings crossover to the debates.

Thompson strikes me as a man who wants the job, he believes he can do the job and do it well, but he possesses a strong distaste and contempt for the process one must go through to get the job.

From what I have heard him say in interviews, that is exactly right. He will do the job but isn't interested in the politics of running.

I think Thompson would do well. But I dont know that he will be in the race much longer. even with the amazing job he did tonight.

Well then, the focus group said he won. I have yet to check any other polls. :)

the focus group also said too little too late.

That pretty sums up my feelings about Thompson. Though I don't think his late entry to the process is as much to blame as is his seemingly lackadaisical attitude towards campaigning in general.

That makes him sane, and even more likable to me.

It is one of the attributes that draws me to him as well. My concern is simply that he is going to fail to get any momentum at this stage of the game.

It seems to be my lot to like the candidates (Hunter) who never get any momentum. :(

Thompson is still my choice. He does disdain the media. I do too. The only reason he is not moving forward faster is that the media is not covering him and lauding over him like they are for gulliani and romney.

Huckabee showed that he's a flip flopper and a rino. Paul showed me that he's IS a complete nut case and doesn't even warrant consideration. He doesn't believe the conspiracy theories about 911 anymore. So he did at one time.

mccain's an appeaser and I don't want anything to do with him. He's everybodies buddy and that's not what we need in the presidency.

Well I just see Romney as much more "presidential-like" than Thompson - he doesn't want it bad enough IMO...

Regardless, I still think either way would be a great ticket against Shillary/obama...

For all the mud slinging I still thing it will be a hillary/obama ticket for the dems. I called it that way when the dem convention was on back in 04.

I really doubt that she will pick Obama, She has nothing to gain in doing that, because if she is the nominee, she will already have the black vote. If she is smart she will pick someone who can bring her more centrist/swing votes, like Richardson.
