Great line.
But after watching several of the cable news shows........ Ron Paul won the debate hands down, interesting spin by the so called political/news experts (LOL).

Gotta admit...that is one helluva good soundbite.
Romney was obviously waiting to use that line. In any event the guy is personable, bright and articulate. The more exposure he gets will only help him.
I know, there are issues....
Whether there was originally a good reason to go to war, the fact remains that the decision for war was taken long ago. Whining about what might have been is a pastime for losers, not leaders.
Likewise, politicians who start a sentence with "If had had known then what I know now . . . " only show that they are not ready to lead. (Are you listening, Mrs. Clinton?) Waiting until one has all the possible information before acting is a formula for paralysis.
He's in the debate because he's a candidate. He has many supporters who are willing to keep sending him money and keep voting for him in online polls. He'll never win a primary and never win another election, but his supporters can keep him in the debates until whoever sponsors the debate limits participation to people with a certain percentage of support. The problem with imposing that limit is that several other candidates would be excluded as well, and at this point in the game, many of the people most interested in seeing a debate are the supporters of the other candidates.
When a few more candidates drop out of the race and the field starts to narrow, debate sponsors will be in a position to drop some of the candidates who don't have much chance.

replay of the debate on CSPAN at 6:30 pm Pacific time (9:30 ET)
That was quite possibly the best line I have ever heard in a debate.
I also liked it when rudy took the questioner to task asking about “is it time to raise taxes to fix the infrastructure” in talking about the bridge collapse. Rudy told the poor guy — hey, that is nothing but a liberal democrat point of view, we get more revenue when we lower taxes, not raise them. The guy asking the question (who was with stephie but whose name i cannot remember) got pretty snippy about it also. This is one area where Rudy really excells in the debates, he is always questioning the media and the democrats. He gets high praise from me for constantly doing that. I hope more of the candidates start criticizing the press.
My thought's exactly. Heck, Romney wasn't even on my radar but I'll give him another look on the quality of that zinger along. Do you McCain could come with something that good in a million years?
I agree and I also thought that Duncan Hunter gave some really great answers. All in all it was an excellent debate.
Didn’t get to see the debate but it sounds like Mitt did well.
C-Span site shows “error” on the TV schedule. Anyone know if they will be airing it?
The reason is quite simple: the difference between a "liberal" and an "objective journalist" is a job in the MSM - neither more nor less.
It’s on now.
Thanks....I just got back on the net and got your post!
You’re welcome. They came out swinging at Mitt but he handled them well.
He seems to doing well! I wish they would cut the field so we can spend time on the major candidates.
