It was dominated by Guiliani and Romney, oh and don't forget about Thompson and McCain. It was dominated by them because they were the ones that got to talk the most. I think the debates should allow equal time to let the American people make the decision on who is the best candidate for us, instead fo the media doing it for us.

Anyways, I am a big supporter for RON PAUL and I believe he did very well with the total of 3 minutes he recieved to talk during the nearly two hour debate. He held a rally after the debate and approx. 3,000 fans showed up to show there support for him. No mention of that out there in the media. Just more news about how Romney and Guiliani went at it. And how Thompson held his own in his first debate.

When did all journalism become opinionated stories instead of just handed over the cold hard facts? Not talking about you Max, talking about the MSM networks.

>>Anybody hear it? "Refusal to support" the SCHIP veto? Did he actually say he would have signed the legislation? Big difference.<<

I didn't hear it and I just finished my second viewing of the debate. Huckabee did (as AT previously maintained) say that Bush's handling of expanded SCHIP was a huge political loss for the Republicans.

In his discussion of the issue he said he didn't trust the government with insurance nor did he trust the insurance companies. He's still on the mantra of each person "owing their policy." What shit. The company that issues policies owns them in terms of dictating premiums, coverage and cancellation rights. Now if Huck wants to pass laws restricting insurance companies' right to change any of the terms of the policy then he will have some strong industry adversaries, much stronger than the Stephens.

And while he doesn't trust government for insurance have him run a quick poll with Medicare beneficiaries. Ask Medicare recipients if they trust government or private insurance. No chance a charlatan like Huck would ever do a realistic thing like that.
Screw Republicans.

I have to admit that my life is not happy enough to continue watching 9 old white men who have as much chance of being the next President as I do. Add Chris Matthews and I think I'd just rather get circumcised again.

Maybe not all of them are racists, but they'd not be interested enough to pluck dead people out of the murky waters of New Orleans. We've seen that movie once...that's enough. Most of them like George W. Bush, thinks he's cool, but their PR man tells them to hide that crap until after the election because Bush is as cool as semen on your dashboard at the moment.

I think I'll save my pixels...why list 58 more reasons these guys, with the exception of the unelectable Ron Paul, aren't even good human beings, much less Presidential material. We've been witness to the Cheney partial birth abortion these last 6 years.....no country is dumb enough to sign up for 4 more years of this abomination. We need to cancel the War on Drugs and use the same resources to launch the War on the Republican Party. I think that's a war we might be able to win if we act fast.

What's far more important is that we very very very quietly passed the 3800 mark in Iraq last week. The number is 3818 dead US troops....dead for nothing....dead for oil....dead for a pack of lies. That number is the entire population of Kellogg-Yoncalla, Oregon, every man woman and child in Dublin, Texas, everyone dead in Gardnerville, Nevada, every single female in Duquesne, Pennsylvania.

You'd have to import 40 more people to Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas and then kill everyone there to reach this same total. Madness!
