[still_one]

4. It is only Michigan that is experiencing inflation, hmmmmm /nt

[cboy4]

5. He already lost his train of thought during the first

question!!!

I guess all of the lies spinning around in his head is overwhelming.

[Eurobabe]

SNL pinned him perfectly.

[Beaverhausen]

6. Does Mitt have enough make-up on?

how many times has he said "unacceptable?"

[still_one]

8. so far, typical softball news media kiss ass questions. Put on Jon Stewart

[still_one]

12. Maybe Ron Paul will keep them honest /nt

[Eurobabe]

41. Ron Paul would be better than most of these jokers

:eyes:

[still_one]

47. compared to the other republicans, absolutely, if nothing else than Iraq

but for the country a disaster

[Eurobabe]

75. don't get me wrong, we must elect a DEM in '08

but of this current crowd, Paul and Huckabee are better than the other idiots.

[still_one]

29. I guess the republicans are going to insure that drug dealers, pimps and prostitues pay taxes

at least that is the message I am hearing

[rurallib]

62. Almost fell out of my chair laughing at that.

[Snarkoleptic]

9. Whenever I see Fred, the Deputy Dog cartoon theme runs through my head.

[Eurobabe]

14. perfect, LOL

[Cameron27]

10. Over spending on the Democratic side?

That's rich.

[Beaverhausen]

13. Yeah- just who has been overspending for the last 6 years, Rudy?

the last 7 years?

[Eurobabe]

11. Rudith up: Repubs are pillars of growth

:rofl:

[Beaverhausen]

15. Rudith!!!! I love it!

[Cameron27]

17. Rudith !

[Eurobabe]

21. y'all never heard that one? i certainly didn't coin it

it's been around for awhile, but it is a scary foreboding omen.

[Cameron27]

27. Nope, but I love it,

Walnuts---> McCain is great too.

[smalll]

18. Is Freddy doing the vigorous-head-movement thing again?

Will the other candidates start making fun of him? Please keep those of us in the Rabbitears and Dialup Brigade posted!

[Eurobabe]

52. No he is getting ignored, and is stiff as a pole up there on stage

It's the Mitt and Rudith show.

[Eurobabe]

19. MCain: Wealth creates Wealth, oh REALLY??

[Beaverhausen]

20. Answer her question, Senator

way to deflect.

[Eurobabe]

24. I truly think McCain is whacked

[still_one]

25. What he is saying is that those who have money make money

what he didn't say is those who don't, don't

[Cameron27]

22. Get spending under control sez McCain

apparently only for domestic programs NOT the billions and billions used in the war he's promoting.

[onehandle]

23. How big is his drool cup? nt

[Beaverhausen]

26. Why doesn't he answer her question?

Jesus- what an ass.

[Eurobabe]

28. Fuckabee up

Hi weinerdoggie! :hi:

Perhaps sounding reasonable? Too bad he's a creationist. Watch this guy, long term.

[Beaverhausen]

31. He does sound reasonable. He is on the right side of some issues

and of course the wrong side of others.

[Eurobabe]

33. he's the only Con that I can actually listen to

the rest are a bunch of bad apples.

[TwilightGardener]

106. LOL! Hi, 48. I'd like to watch him go back to Arkansas and teach Bible classes to Sunday school.

Because he's nucking futs. He's GWB without the breeding.

[cboy4]

30. I wonder of Rudy's wife is going to "call?"

:eyes:

[tandot]

34. I just had the same thought...but I don't think he'll pull that again this time

[Eurobabe]

40. what if Osama checks in?

ala Daily Show?

[still_one]

42. Do you think rudy can work 9/11 into the debate on the economy?

[Eurobabe]

Dunkin Donuts up now: I, I, I, I, I

[Cameron27]

Is there anyone here that can't regurgitate all the things that have been said already?

Taxes bad
Spending bad
Social Security, social programs bankrupt the country.
On and on, you all know the tune.... blah, blah, blah.

[still_one]

45. you did an excellent job. People who are hurting out there, are not that stupid, are they?

[Bake]

44. Tancredo whining about Social Security and Medicare

They're the budget-busters, acc. to TT. Privatize 'em!

He's gone.

Bake

[gumby]

46. Mitt says "Bad Rudy"

Rudy used the Supreme Court to take the line-item-veto away from the President.

Rudy says "Bad Mitt", you Raised Taxes!!!

[still_one]

48. Mitt says to rudy you don't know your facts /nt

[Eurobabe]

49. Laugh a minute, all these cut and refund republiCONS

Rudith took Bill Clinton to the Supreme Court re: line item veto?

What a fucking ego this joker has!

Mitt going after Rudith

[truebrit71]

[Cameron27]

51. Mittens and Rudith attack

:rofl:

[Eurobabe]

54. Freddie: in a dynamic economy, jobs gained and jobs lost

He is still in the magic bubble that everything is rosy, wonderful, etc. Michigan is not going to be impressed with him.

[Beaverhausen]

56. Exactly. I keep thinking how different these answers would be when asked of Dems

[Eurobabe]

59. Hunter going after Thompson

basically saying you have no clue about how the economy functions. McCain being realistic about the state of the economy and US employment picture, not so rosy.

[cboy4]

55. Every time Thompson lies, a new wrinkle forms on

that head of his.

[cboy4]

63. Tancredo is speaking very fast and is quite sweaty as

though he's all hopped up on methamphetamine.

[Cameron27]

57. Tweety's lobbing softballs at these assholes.

[still_one]

60. because o'liely labelled him as a libural /nt

[Cameron27]

61. Ahhh

[still_one]

58. Duncan Hunter is living in the cold war period. He loves to throw around communist China

It would serve himself better if he said that China and al queada were the same entity, then he could compete with rudy

[Eurobabe]

64. Mittens: I spent my whole life (almost) in the business world

note to Romney: We don't need another one of YOUR KIND!!

[durrrty libby]

65. Mitt loves Mitt

[Eurobabe]

67. He moonlights at a Caddy dealer

this guy is such a used car salesman, it isn't funny. Maybe the cons should nominate him, he'll never win.

[still_one]

66. listening so far, the Democrats have no excuse NOT TO WIN IN 2008 /nt

[Eurobabe]

68. I agree, Rudith is so dour

he reeks of negativity. :eyes:

[Cameron27]

70. No kidding

the GOP couldn't come up with more bumbling assholes....well, hmmm. :rofl:

[Thickasabrick]

107. They didn't have an excuse in 2004 n/t

[soothsayer]

69. Onion: "Thomspon worried about being typecast as a politician."

[redqueen]

71. Wow... NOW? Bit early, isn't it? I saw a little Savage this morning...

can't stand the guy, but I record Olbermann so it's on the station when I wake up...

ANYway... he says something about how this is the candidate who people have the LOWEST expectations for... said so long as he doesn't drool on himself, people will think he's done great.

:rofl:

[still_one]

72. Should Dubai be able to own the NAZ? they don'tt have a problem selling our country

down the tubes

[gumby]

73. Saint McCain sez he's a student of history.

WOW!!!!! I'm soooo NOT impressed.

[still_one]

74. not a very good student or he would have learned from Viet Nam /nt

[Eurobabe]

78. He sounds really flat tonight

but then again, he's been flat for awhile...

[Cameron27]

76. Duncan Hunter

warrior guy.

[Beaverhausen]

77. Hunter at least has an opinion! He says NO!

that must be why he's Coultergeist's second choice!

[Cameron27]

79. Who's her first?

[Beaverhausen]

81. Are you sitting down? Mitt

I watched her for a bit on Hannity and Colmes - she was trashing Rudy and loving Mitt. bleech!

[Cameron27]

92. Mitt...

never would've guess that.

[Eurobabe]

80. Brownshirt going after Dunkin

on free trade, if Repubes give up on free trade, we are in trouble.

[gumby]

82. Brownbeck sounds like the Incredible Shrinking Candidate.

At least Tancredo has his racism.

[Eurobabe]

86. shrill little shill, say that 3 times quickly

[Eurobabe]

83. Thompson: AMT question from Tweety

AMT designed by Dems to get the rich guys. Lower taxes grow the economy, it's been proven in Bush presidency. WTF? :wtf:

[gumby]

87. Amazing, ain't it?

..... geeze...

[gumby]

84. 'Index for inflation.'

Well, there's a bright, shiny new idea.......NOT!!!

[Beaverhausen]

85. Ok- these guys are completely clueless that the economy is only good for those with wealth

completely.

[Eurobabe]

88. Like I said, lead balloon for Michigan voters, if they believe this

BS: the Bush economy is wonderful -- there's lots of swampland for sale in FL!

[Eurobabe]

89. I'm Tivo'ing the rest, I've seen enough for tonight....

Bye :hi:

[Beaverhausen]

90. Asking Thompson about Iraq

and Thompson? Lying, lying lying.

[gumby]

91. Hearing check???

Did Thompson just say we were going to 'civilize' Iraq?

I was experiencing pet interference, so don't know.

[Beaverhausen]

93. I've had enough of this crap. These guys are all so out of touch

Bye

:hi:

[Cameron27]

99. It's getting tough listening without gagging lol,

bye and thanks for starting the thread.:hi:

[still_one]

94. Great news, brownshirt and biden will be dividing Iraq up tomorrow

It would be nice for the Iraqi people to decide their destiny

[Cameron27]

95. Brownback likes Joe Biden's plan for Iraq?

Is that what he was referring too?

[still_one]

96. yes. I wonder how the Shia will like that, since they make up 2/3 of the population of Iraq /nt

[cboy4]

97. Brownback says we went into Iraq because of a

mixture of WMD's AND terrorism?!? :wtf:


LIE LIE LIE

[still_one]

98. Funny, answer the question MITT, do you need Congressional Approval for WAR?

[still_one]

100. Mathews is finally asking a real question. Do you need Congressional approval for war?

[still_one]

101. Ron Paul is the only one answering the question correctly. You MUST go to Congress for war

and the audience likes that answer

[Cameron27]

104. He was great,

unfortunately I only agree with him about the war, but he unleashed some mighty wrath on that one.

[still_one]

105. Exactly the same thought here /nt

[soothsayer]

102. Go Ron Paul! "Open the consitution--you can't go to war without a declaration

of war!"

[tishaLA]

103. Ron Paul. Sanity for a few seconds.
