Romney good answer on abortion: “...racks and racks of human life...”

[Vision]

I agree.

[Sprite518]

Guys that I will definatly not vote for

Sam Brownback
John McCain

[Disturbin]

“These questions are outrageous”

LOL, what did you expect? Serious questions about the border?

[kerryusama04]

Chris Wallace tee-s up immigration to Tancredo. Chris Wallace rocks. I like the conversions bit! Damascus/Des Moine LOL!

[TomGuy]

Tancredo is hitting it: conversions; they are undergoing conversions.

lol

[willk]

Rudy did answer the question why he is a conservative by showing he doesn’t believe in the socialist principals embraced by Hillary.
I’d support any of these guys.

The sawed off shotgun is already illegal, it's considered a distructive device.

WRONG! WHy do I have two of them then? Pay your transfer tax, you can own thousands. Pay for a Type 7 FFL Type 2 SOT, you can make them by the THOUSANDS.

A destructive device is any item over .50 cal that goes boom. Clinton put the street sweeper and USAS12 on the DD list as an amnesty. They are legal, you just have to pay a tax for them in an NFA of 1934 state.

Wikipedia can be your friend you know?

[don-o]

Nice strawman.

[Spiff]

Romney: "Roe v. Wade has gone so far as to cheapen the value of human life."

He sounds like he might get it. Too bad his record doesn't reflect it.

[Vision]

What did Tancredo say to cause the stir?

[NordP]

I agree... Good line by Tancredo..just now. I hope they address this same question with Hunter.

[Right_in_Virginia]

I WANT THE RIGHT TO CARRY ANYTHING I CAN BEAR.

Well, many of us don't want this right in the hands of the next maniac pointing at our sons and daughters during class.

Deal with it.

[Junior_G]

Lame abortion question to Romney...reminiscent of the “what if your wife was raped and murdered” question from Bernard Shaw.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Conversions on the road to Damascus . . . not on the road to Des Moines.

[Old_Mil]

"I'm hearing a lot of conversions here tonight; I trust these conversions on the road to Damascus, not on the road to Des Moines."

- Tom Tancredo, referring to Rudy McRomney.

He had a 90% dem legislature that would have passed an even more restrictive ban over his veto if he had not went along with extending the existing ban. He brilliantly kept it at a “flash hider ban” level instead of letting them ban ruger .22s and m1 carbines etc.

[Vision]

What was the line? I missed it.

[AliVeritas]

Will someone tell Goler that the law is rape, incest and life of the mother. Less than one percent of abortions are from those causes. Now it’s financial health, because the man doesn’t want it, the women doesn’t want it, it will stress me out. The choice is not having sex unless you’re willing to deal with the consequences. It’s called responsibility. They want privacy, except when they reach for our wallets to publicly solve their irresponsibility.

Don’t get me started on the child predators that bring in girls under 15 for abortions... not reported. I’ve seen 21 year olds that have had five plus abortions... does that make sense with fifty million forms of birth control?

Abortion is a huge business... and the selling of tissues makes it even bigger. People would be shocked.

Holdup, did Mc just say he doesn’t support amnesty?

[TomGuy]

McCain has never supported amnesty???????

Did he not read the McCain-Kennedy Comprehensive Immigration bill he helped author last session?
