So General Fudgepacker is a Plant. Interesting they would bash the Republicans right when Harpy is having her Homosexual problem.

Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops

Good job, I’m in favor of Thompson as the top guy, but I like what you *didn’t* say.

[Hunterite]

I would have answered the gay Brigadier-General subject differently. I would have said:

“The military has rules about public displays of affection; straight, gay, or any combination thereof. Even a straight person is under the ‘don’t ask don’t tell policy’, because the military isn’t neither a brothel or a place of worship. Being gay doesn’t entitle you any special treatment.”

Tuff call.
Its easier to not who sucked the worst tonight.

Rooty

Mitt

McCain

[Fishtalk]

Agreed totally.

[StarFan]

McCain emoted just like a Dem tonite. He uses the emotion ploy to suck in the politically ignorant. He did not do well tonite unless you like his constant appeal to the emotional level, such as on his waterboard torture issue, or his I visited the troops mantra.

He's done that during each and every debate and only seems to impress the talking heads that follow these debates. Case in point what most see as boring, tiring and repetitious, is contrary to David Gergen and Campbell Brown who are singing his praises now to Cooper. His poll numbers tell the story!

[A. Morgan]

I except next time I see you for you to have the proper tagline.. Thompson/Hunter 2008.

[mylife]

You gotta admit that was a brilliant response

[traditional1]

The same group that "donated millions in one day" to Ron Paul:

Dishwashers for RP

Homeless for RP

Gang-Bangers for RP

Faggots for RP

Dykes for RP

ETC., ETC.

They're now "voting" early and often for RP on Free Republic.

No wonder he polls above zero....

[GOP_Lady]

I agree with Mr. Bennett and you.

[volunbeer]

Check out the CNN poll on their website....

They do not even list Fred Thompson.... instead it is Tommy Thompson’s name and photograph. The questions are awfully misleading as well.

I know which candidate CNN seems afraid of from looking at that poll... can you figure out which one?

Hint - they don’t even list his name!!!!!!

[Chuck54]

Being gay doesn’t entitle you any special treatment.”

That needs repeating and repeating.

[calcowgirl]

That poll is for the June 5th debate.

Yeah... I looked at it quickly before posting, then realized my mistake.
Sorry about that!

[hocndoc]

Exactly.

[flaglady47]

“But we’re in the New Testament now.”

Oh, I see, you don’t want to talk about that nasty OT. Just the NT, so you skip right past half of the Bible and only claim to believe literally the NT. Nice try.

[seoul62]

Anderson Cooper and Trent Lott, please come out of the closet./Just Asking - seoul62..........

[NYC Republican]

Admittedly, I only saw the last 30 minutes, but my view

Huckabee came across the best, by far

Thompson- presidential but sickly

Rudy - absolutely awful, lisp, looked old and petty

McCain- same as Rudy, without the lisp

Romney - nervous. Seemed uncomfortable, was AWFUL on the gay question...

[roses of sharon]

Overseas? What’s overseas?

Boos, hisses, bibles, mexicans, gays, that’s what matters.

[mnehring]

Yep, Paul is winning with non-member votes at 36% but only has 4% member votes. That has always been the trend. Very few Freepers support him, most of his support in polls are from trolls.

Watching their meetup forums. They have started the spamming macros.

[CASchack]

They blindsided the candidates with General Gay. How many of his fellow General Officers would be in favor of gays in the military, and more specifically, what kind of soldier this guy was.
