IF thats true its a darn shame.

I remember the first time I saw and heard Mitt Romney. It was while he was Mass. Governor. I just thought, wow, this guy should run for president. Image is everything. The guy oozes charisma, not to mention his family life, his beliefs, his knowledge of world issues and the way he conducts himself is just an added bonus. The rest of them can’t compare.

Taxes and related at first...economic emphasis...

So far in this debate, I have switched my vote from Thompson to Hunter.

This is a front in a much larger war — glad Thompson made that point.

[eeevil conservative]

paul is a plant....

when Kerry and Al lost to Bush...they needed to create another “spoiler” like Perot....

Don’t get me wrong- I liked Perot.....but not Paul....when Moveon loves ya- you ain’t no conservative....

The Best Defense Hillary being in the White House oval office.

Great answer by Fred Thompson on the war in Iraq and the way that it ties into the global war on Islamic Fascism.

Hunter doesn’t want us to have the $250 BILLION EACH YEAR trade imbalance that we have with Red China, because of China’s CHEATING, and China is using that money to become a superpower.

[maica]

Why has Hunter never held a leadership position in Congress or elsewhere? I like his perspective but I doubt his team-playing or Aministration-building skills

“The average 20 year old in Iraq knows more about national security than a 20 year veteran on Capitol Hill” Very true, Fred.

I’ll add another:

Hi eeevil!:-) Here cheering on Duncan Hunter!!

[rodguy911]

Possibly I am not sure, they are on a buying binge worldwide.I am told many of the oil producing countries in the area banks with them. That alone probably gives them huge leverage in many deals.

Barf — McCain giving credit to Giuliani. McCain is running as Giuliani’s VP.
