  1. Guy Montag   19 years ago

    And reason has banned live blogging of Republican debates on FOX, but not Democrat debates or Republican debates on MSNBC?

    Come on guys! Ron Paul is in full rave tonight!

  2. Jonathan Hohensee   19 years ago

    I'm missing the deabtes? Stupid, awesome House and Veronica Mars.

  3. Lamar   19 years ago

    Ron Paul's got some fire in his britches tonight.

  4. Lamar   19 years ago

    C'mon Rudy, just say that you like freedom...say it....unless you don't.

  5. SIV   19 years ago

    Huckabee had the best line so far
    unless you want to count the Fred Thompson video reply to Michael Moore earlier today

  6. Lamar   19 years ago

    The basic question remains, is a fetus a person? Since we're ending the life of a child, then we can't end the life.

    Sounds to me like the question doesn't remain for Brownback.

  7. Lamar   19 years ago

    Romney says that Roe v. Wade is responsible for embryo farming, don'tcha know?

  8. Guy Montag   19 years ago

    Guilliani (french for "spaghetti bender) babbled on a bit on his modified "King Herrod" program of national ID cards.

    Just one chip away from his NYC program of genetic fingerprinting of babies.

    OMG, Ron Paul is babbling about not defending America from foreign threats.

  9. Lamar   19 years ago

    The Congressman didn't say we invited 9/11, the moderator did.

  10. Lamar   19 years ago

    Ron Paul, stirring it up!!

  11. Guy Montag   19 years ago

    Point "spaghetti bender" over Paul on the "enviting attack" bullshit.

    Side note and "on topic":

    XM suspends Opie and Anthony for 30 days for a homeless guest's comments about having forced violent sex with Condoleeza Rice and the first lady.

    I disagree with this action.

  12. Guy Montag   19 years ago

    inviting, whatever (just to the spelling Democrats)

  13. Jonathan Hohensee   19 years ago

    unless you want to count the Fred Thompson video reply to Michael Moore earlier today
    I loaded it on YouTube and asked myself "how much can he say in 38 seconds?" but then 38 seconds later I told myself "wow, he said a lot in only 30 seconds."
    Moore will probally back peddle and give some smug knee-jerk "you think Castro is bad? You people are the anti-christ" response.

  14. Lamar   19 years ago

    God forbid we understand our declared enemies. And yeah, the Opie & Anthony thing is stupid.

  15. Guy Montag   19 years ago

    Is that Tancredo or Paul babbling on about something?

    Ah, it is Tancredo, Paul is taller.

  16. Guy Montag   19 years ago

    Moore will probally back peddle and give some smug knee-jerk "you think Castro is bad? You people are the anti-christ" response.

    The only time he will admit to a being higher than Albert Gore, Jr.

  17. Jonathan Hohensee   19 years ago

    His response on the website isn't what I called (yet). Instead he's resorting to his old Roger and Me one-trick where anyone who doesn't come crawling when he wants to do an interview (or debate or "admit they have wronged the people") is a coward or "hiding behind their desks".

  18. Guy Montag   19 years ago

    Too bad Paul did not get the terrorist/surrender monkey question. Guessing they ran out of brie.

  19. Guy Montag   19 years ago

    Nice softball to Paul! Never thought it would come from Brit Hume.

    OMG, Ron, shut up! They are out of brie!

  20. Lamar   19 years ago

    In the event of a terrorist attack, Ron Paul is going to look for programs to cut? Blamed if that's not politically saavy.... [shaking head]

  21. Guy Montag   19 years ago

    Nice softball to Paul!

    About lowering taxes after 9/11, sorry for leaving out that detail.

  22. Lamar   19 years ago

    Education, schmeducation. I still think you have to pay teachers (private or public) a wage that will bring in the type of person you actually want educating your kids.

  23. SIV   19 years ago

    Mitt Romney supports Federal Education

    That is why politics sucks- they are all out for the chick vote. Any of these mofos said "Working Families" tonight? That no one has said "affordable child care" is why I lean Republican if I vote.

  24. jkii   19 years ago

    unless you want to count the Fred Thompson video reply to Michael Moore earlier today

    Info on Nicholas Gien(sp??), por favor.

  25. Guy Montag   19 years ago

    Ron Paul is as "sane" as Rosie O'Donnel, Noam Chomsky, Gore Vidal, Al Gore and Michael Moore.

    Good show with Guilliani calling his crazy ass down on the '9/11 was because Clinton bombed Iraq' insanity.

    Expecting apologetic-for-Paul posts from most of the Reason staff in the morning, in lockstep with Kos, Ezra Klein, the Worker's World Daily, Hamas, Hezbolla and others.

    Nice tha Nick took a pass on mentioning this flakejobs name during his run through the gauntlet of Leftism on PBS last week.

  26. Lamar   19 years ago

    Ron Paul should have responded to Giuliani by saying I see your concerns, and what I am saying is that bombing Iraq isn't responsible for 9/11, but it is part of a foreign policy that exacerbates people, who already hate us for our freedom, it wastes money and history shows us that wars cooked up by Pentagon intellectuals just don't seem to end or accomplish their goals.

    Maybe Rudy's characterization of what Paul said (as inviting the 9/11 attacks) was accurate, like Bill O'Reilly slapping Rosie down.

  27. Lamar   19 years ago

    I thought it was slick of Rudy to mention in the post-debate interview that the terrorists hate us for our freedom of religion and our women's freedom

  28. noname   19 years ago

    "I still think you have to pay teachers (private or public) a wage that will bring in the type of person you actually want educating your kids."

    And how will this stop the the bad ones from receiving that same pay???

  29. Lamar   19 years ago

    The same way a business does it. Interview the candidates (i.e., don't hire bad ones) and fire people who don't measure up.

  30. Maria Sharapova   19 years ago

    Um... did the comments get mixed up? What thread is this? Who am I? What are you going to do with that needle?!!

  31. Lamar   19 years ago

    We started commenting here because there wasn't a debate thread during the debate.
