Watching it

[ColonialMarine0431]

Romney nailed Huckster on his tax increases in Arkansas. :)

[PrezLeefun]

ok watching it.

I missed the first 15 mintues though.....

[PrezLeefun]

Listening to this whole thing is totally uncomfortable.

[ColonialMarine0431]

Listening to this whole thing is totally uncomfortable.


Whyso?:confused:

[PrezLeefun]

There is tension. I cant quite put my finger on it but it seems like there is more present than normal at a debate.


Or maybe I am sick of everyone saying the same damn thing.

[ColonialMarine0431]

True. Let's just vote NOW and get it all over with.

[UnkHiram]

McCain is Lying about his AMnesty Bill

[PrezLeefun]

True. Let's just vote NOW and get it all over with.

No no no no I am happy to have more time. I am already stressed out enough over it. I would hate to have that much pressure on my head right now.

[ColonialMarine0431]

McCain is Lying about his AMnesty Bill


He just dooesn't get it. :punish:

[Elgalad]

Fred stated it very clearly yesterday.

Does it send them home? (regarding each and every one of his opponents' immigration policies which Don't.)

If not, it's amnesty.

Simple as that.

-Elgalad

[Elgalad]

If I hear Huck whine that sending illegal invaders home 'punishes the children for the sins of their parents' one more time..

If we applied his logic to every criminal, our prisons and jails would be empty; all in the name of compassion. :rolleyes:


It's become blatantly obvious to the most casual observer that all of these clowns (with one exception) do Not see illegal aliens as criminals, but rather as refugees. Until they sort out their cranial-rectal inversion, they're going to continue spewing this rhetorical constipation about 'fairness' and make absolutely zero progress towards Ever resolving the problem.

[UnkHiram]

Huckabee is trying to have it both ways on Immigration. Don't punish the Kids (Instate Tution) but kick out every illegal. I will not deny that Huckabee is not my "Fav" but he is coming across like an idiot in tonights debate.

[PrezLeefun]

I disagree. I got what he was saying. I dont completely agree but I get it.

[Longhorn_Platinum]

PrezLeefun:
No no no no I am happy to have more time. I am already stressed out enough over it. I would hate to have that much pressure on my head right now.

:moo: Here, let me take the pressure off. Vote for Thompson. Problem solved.

[UnkHiram]

Rudy is defending his rather pathetic record on Immigration. Gotta admit he is doing a real good job of spinning it.

[UnkHiram]

Fred Just made an excellent point about Mexico's exporting of its own people

[PrezLeefun]

:moo: Here, let me take the pressure off. Vote for Thompson. Problem solved.

I dont like him at all. Ya'll know that.

[ColonialMarine0431]

:moo: Here, let me take the pressure off. Vote for Thompson. Problem solved.

If we applied his logic to every criminal, our prisons and jails would be empty; all in the name of compassion. :rolleyes:
Being a BAPTIST minister, he oughta know that "the sins of the father are visited on his children, yea unto the SEVENTH generation."

Hey, Huckster!! Why do you think Christ was born of a VIRGIN?? So the sins of JOSEPH wouldn't be passed on to HIM!!!

It's become blatantly obvious to the most casual observer that all of these clowns (with one exception) do Not see illegal aliens as criminals, but rather as refugees.

Oh how I wish I was the moderator!! "Fair? Whoever said life was fair? Yes, that is my next question to you all."

This el torro poopoo about "fairness" chaps my ass. HOW is it fair to the American taxpayer to allow half of friggin' MEXICO to bankrupt the country?

ANY candidate who supports this miscarriage of JUSTICE better hop the next bus to the DEMUNIST debates, cuz they sure as hell ain't no Republican.

[Maggie_T]

If I hear Huck whine one more time about how sending illegal invaders home 'punishes the children for the sins of their parents' one more time..

Elgalad, I SO agree with you.

I hereby officially nominate the Huckster as the Republican Jimmy Carter: all kissy-feely mush, no substance.

He wants to close Gitmo. 'Nuff said. He bleats and simpers about illegals. Again, 'nuff said.

And in the meanwhile, Fred Thompson, the only one who says all the things a TRUE CONSERVATIVE should say, is barely being given the time of day. As I post, the only one saying the right things about illegal immigrantion is Fred Thompson. Fred is the man, and he's getting lost in the namby-pamby, kissy-feely, mushy rethoric of all the other pandering morons. And please, DO NOT tell me that "he's not trying." Anyone who really cared about the future of the country would do some research after hearing Fred on basic things ... oh, sorry; I forgot. 90% of Americans are too lazy to do that. They want things given to them on a silver platter. They want instant gratification. They want to be made to feel "special." They are not too different from liberals. No wonder Pharisees like Obama, Edwards, McCain, and Huckabee get all the attention.

I see mealy-mouthed, why-can't-we-get-along imbecility that so far, I thought we could only get from demunists. I see the country slipping through our fingers ONCE AGAIN, and there's nothing I can do about it.

And people wonder why I'm losing interest in the whole bloody farce.

Oh, thank you, Elgalad! I was hoping I was not the only one who saw that. Great minds, and all that.

Pandering, pandering, pandering. That's all it amounts to. Got to get a hand on those juicy Hispanic votes.

How revolting. :sulk:

[UnkHiram]

Romney (Paraphrased) I ran "happy" record adds, they didnt work. So now I run "Fact Based" (ie Attack) adds

[UnkHiram]

Huckabee bragging than people in Arkansas liked him, They liked Clinton too. Not exactly a reassuring thought

[ColonialMarine0431]

Huckabee bragging than people in Arkansas liked him, They liked Clinton too. Not exactly a reassuring thought

Amen!

[Maggie_T]

Double Amen!

[UnkHiram]

Rudy on Ethics, sorta like asking the Pope about being a Baptist

[Timberwolf]

ROTF!! :biglaugh:

[Maggie_T]

Being a BAPTIST minister, he oughta know that "the sins of the father are visited on his children, yea unto the SEVENTH generation."

YES, to very word.

Again, Fred is the only one who's saying the righ things ... as if he FELT it, mind.

The Huckster is making me physically ill. Jimmy Carter, all over again. YECHT!! Don't Americans EVER learn?!

[Elgalad]

OMG, McCain is quoting Reagan.

:smack:

Debate must be over.

I'm sure as hell done with it. :flame:

:moo: Do you have one with orange & white pompoms?

[Maggie_T]

Oh, brother.

"ME, ME, ME!!! I am the Second Comming! ... Vote for me! ... I will save the world! ... I can keep this country safe and give it a better future!"

Somebody please hand me a barf bag.

Oh, man. Now we're given the benefit of the "people's wisdom." :rolleyes:

[Elgalad]

YES, to very word.The Huckster is making me physically ill. Jimmy Carter, all over again.

Yep, and now I gotta go change my NH poll predictions.. muahahaha

YECHT!! Don't Americans EVER learn?!

We'll know tomorrow night, but I'm not having a whole lot of happy thoughts right now.

[Timberwolf]

Watching the streaming video on Foxnews.com...the Paulbots are marching outside with their posterboards.

LOL

[ColonialMarine0431]

:moo: Do you have one with orange & white pompoms?

Sorry. I do have these though...

[UnkHiram]

The "Independent" Crowd overwhelming say that Romney won, and Fred did the worst.

[Maggie_T]

Again, they are bleating about Fred "not being enthusiastic enough." They are SO used to the populist hysteria, it's depressing. Unless you overact like a drag queen, the "people" are not satisfied.

This country has a death wish.

These people couldn't have been paying attention...unbelievable.

If they are the future of our country, we're doomed...DOOMED!!

[Longhorn_Platinum]

Oh, well. That's SOME good news, at any rate. :rolleyes:

[Timberwolf]

Frank Luntz's "focus group" isn't a cross-section of the country...I hope.

[Maggie_T]

These people couldn't have been paying attention...unbelievable.

If they are the future of our country, we're doomed...DOOMED!!


Amen, Wolfie, amen. I've been saying this for a long time.

[Longhorn_Platinum]

Maggie_T:
Again, they are bleating about Fred "not being enthusiastic enough."

:unsmile: And I was so hoping we'd be spared more nitwits like that airhead in Iowa who said she was "issues-driven", then said she wouldn't vote for Thompson because he "looked tired".

[UnkHiram]

Now the "Experts" are gonna tell us what we just saw and what we should be thinking. Give me a king sized break.

[ColonialMarine0431]

Frank Luntz's "focus group" isn't a cross-section of the country...I hope.

I believ theyre all NH'ers. People in NH are a little weird anyway. One hag said she liked the way Romney "came across" on TV.

Lord help us.....

[UnkHiram]

According to the "Scrawl" Huckabee is now ahead of Rudy in the Polls in New Hampshire

[Elgalad]

Yep, it's New Hampshire.

The Granite state.

Four Electoral votes.



Grain of salt people, South Carolina's coming. :)


-Elgalad

[UnkHiram]

Question of the night! Will the NH Primary be 1) McCain 2) Romney 3) Huckabee 4) RUdy 5) Fred

and if it is Does anyone drop out of the race?

[Timberwolf]

Ooooh, but E!! It's all about MOMENTUM!!!!

Man, I can hardly WAIT for South Carolina and getting some...er...?sanity?...into the process.

Just watched Luntz's fawning over Romney...gosh, didn't Romney just cite Thompson's entire platform on Education, Taxes, and Immigration??

[Maggie_T]

Ok, I'm having a MEGA fight with hubby because I scream piss and venom against the Huckster. Hubby says that if I don't vote for him, I'm voting for demunists ... the usual stuff.

But I say that where illegal immigration and national security are concerned, the Huckster is no different from demunists.

And I stand by my words!!!! :flame:

I HATE Mike Illegals-Loving Huckabee! I thought we were ok because we got rid of Rupaul. Boy, was I wrong!

Do you understand now why I am so disillusioned, so disappointed, so cynical about politics?

THIS COUNTRY HAS A DEATH WISH! And she very possibly will get it.

How depressing.

[UnkHiram]

Not sure the "Experts" were watching the same debate as the rest of us.

[ColonialMarine0431]

Maggie_T,

Withold sex. That'll change his mind. :)

[UnkHiram]

Excuse me while I throw up. Hillary has just said that "This election focus' how important it is Who is sitting in the White House"

[Maggie_T]

Maggie_T,

Withold sex. That'll change his mind. :)


http://freeconservatives.com/smilies/doggie.gif

Well, honey, that would be self-punishment as well.

No. I like hubby to have his own views. I just don't like him to criticize mine. :evilgrin:

[Maggie_T]

:unsmile: And I was so hoping we'd be spared more nitwits like that airhead in Iowa who said she was "issues-driven", then said she wouldn't vote for Thompson because he "looked tired".


:eek: :eek: :eek:

People like her should have their voting rights revoked.

Yes, I said it. Bloody sue me. :sulk:

[Elgalad]

Wear a Huck mask to bed. :evilgrin:


That might do the trick.


-E

[Maggie_T]

:lol:

And he'll wear a Hillary/Obama/Edwards mask, and win the "debate." :rolleyes:

Aw, never mind. I'm not going to fight with hubby over the Huckster. A luxury the Huckster does not deserve.

[dajoga]

Again, they are bleating about Fred "not being enthusiastic enough." They are SO used to the populist hysteria, it's depressing. Unless you overact like a drag queen, the "people" are not satisfied.


Sorry, Mags, but I agree with them. Fred just doesn't light any fire in folks and that's what put Reagan in the WH.

McCain said we should vote for him b/c America's best days are still ahead and he can bring them on. Sorry, johnny-boy, but that ain't gonna happen. The USA is still the best in the world, but our best days are past, unless Almighty God still has a little mercy left for us!

[The_Elucidator]

Ooooh, but E!! It's all about MOMENTUM!!!!

Man, I can hardly WAIT for South Carolina and getting some...er...?sanity?...into the process.

Just watched Luntz's fawning over Romney...gosh, didn't Romney just cite Thompson's entire platform on Education, Taxes, and Immigration??

TW, it is about momentum! You are seeing it with the 'Rats as we speak. Obama went from a dead heat to being up double digits in all but any poll that has CNN involved. Obama WILL win the nomination!

However.com, on the GOP side you can bet Elgalad's next paycheck on whoever wins SC will win the GOP nomination as it's the first state that has diverse demographics and common sense. Book it!!

[Maggie_T]

Sorry, Mags, but I agree with them.


AAAARRRRGHHHHH!!!!! Stop, please! I can't take it anymore! :banghead:

For crying out loud, what do people want?! A performing seal? A clown? A ring master? We're electing PRESIDENT OF THE USA, guys. Not president of Barnaum & Bailey. :flame:

Are you all really going to sit there and tell me that you prefer the histrionics of a Rupaul, or a Huckabee, over the substance of Thompson? Well, if histrionics is all it takes, why don't you all go out and vote for Obama, then. I mean, nobody is putting a finer act than he is.

What about principles? What about what a candidate stands for? Doesn't that count at all? What's the matter? Are people too stupid to do their own research? They have to have it handed to them in a silver platter, is that it?

Let me tell you this for nothing. If people (and I don't care if they're 'pubs or demunists) are going to vote based on how a candidate looks, or on his/her histrionics, or how "special" a candidate makes them feel, if they are willing to jeopardize the future of the country, and that of their children, by confusing the presidency of the USA with a Miss Congeniality contest, then maybe the end of this great country is indeed near and we might as well bloody resign ourselves to become like Europe. Nothing is eternal, right? Europe was the first to go, now it's our turn. Maybe those who think this country should be brought down a peg or two are on to something, after all.

By all means, bring on socialized healthcare. Open the borders wide so that all those nice unskilled workers who hate America, but love the Dollar, can come in and "enrich" our multiculture. Bring on Nanny Government, who needs freedoms, anyway? Just as long as we are free to smoke pot, to abort a baby every nine months, just as long as Adam can marry Steve, who cares about the rest? Who cares if Islamofascists finally conquer the world. Western culture has to go, right? It's the other guys' turn now.

And anyway, when all of the above happens, and we see how much it sucks, we can always blame it on that lazy candidate, who did not make us feel special enough to convince us to vote for him.

Fred just doesn't light any fire in folks and that's what put Reagan in the WH.

WRONG! What put Reagan in the WH was the fact that people were UP TILL HERE with Jimmy Carter and his inefficient, ineffectual, mushy, kissy-feely, economy-devastating administration. Jimmy Carter's only success was to make the oval office the laughing stock of the world. Not even Clinton's turning it into his private brothel was so devastating. After all, sex is always titillating. Incompetence is humiliating.

THAT's why people turned and voted for Reagan in droves. I'm not saying that Ronnie was not charismatic. But I'm ready to bet that people would have voted for him anway. The second time they voted for him, it was a definite triumph for Ronnie. The first time had a great deal to do with voting against the peanut-planter-turned-Keystone-Cop, who folded like a cheap suitcase to Khomeini.


Aw, what's the use. And what a fool I am to worry. I wasn't even born here. :sulk:
