Oh-eight (R): Rudy’s prospects in IA

It must be very hard to pick a candidate when your party can't tell you who to vote for. Too many choices breed confusion to VALUES VOTERS. Where is the value of being told who you should vote for based on the perception that these people have your values.

So, McCain ran against the republican party in 2000 and Bush ran with the republican party in 2000. Boy, that worked out well. Bush has lead the republicans to a low point in moral. McCain probably would have done better.

I also praise Bill Cosby on his tough talk. It is a facet of the civil rights movement that I feel gets neglected. It was a fascinating interview to watch on 'Meet the Press.'

I hope Romney can get his act together and figure out a real platform.

Kind of hard to vote for anybody who talks about cutting and eliminating earmarks and entitlements, since that will also be the day the Beatles reunite.

Yep, it's hard to vote for someone when those who lead your congregation can't make a choice and tell you who to vote for. Someone might actually have to think for themselves for a change. What a concept!!!!

The other 37 per cent of the Conservatives supported David Duke.

Huckabee was also asked about Wayne Dumond, a convicted rapist who killed a Missouri woman after being paroled during his term as governor.

-- this is the classic Republican smear tactic with the names changed from Dukakis and Willy Horton. What is surprising is that the question supposedly came from a reporter. I would be interested in knowing about the reporter who is employing such smear tactics. It seems out of line for a responsible media person.

FIRST READ, can you supply the name and organization of the question asker? Got a truth squad? I am interested in seeing these tactics nipped in the bud both on the Republican and Democratic sides.

I wish they would start a Macho Party for all the tough guy war-mongers to migrate to and stop poisoning the major parties.

Again, folks Huckabee is cross-eyed and has a zero percent chance of beating anybody from the Democratic side, so please if you value anything GOP-ish move with Mad Eye Huckabee.Again folks, Huckabee is cross-eyed and has a zero percent chance of beating anybody from the Democratic side, so please if you value anything GOP-ish move with Mad Eye Huckabee.
The Daily Show made a good joke on Rudy and 9/11 in bed, which speaks to the fact that Rudy is obsessed with 9/11. I think it’s ironic that his tough guy image is loved by some members in the GOP ‘s Christian coalition. Shouldn't Christians love their neighbor? I seriously think that the religious right is more of a business than any thing...
This article made a good assessment on Romney. He should not worry about the other candidates because most of them don't even know what they're doing, outside of referencing 9/11. He needs to continue to paint euphoric pictures from problematic canvases and get above the he-said/she-said garbage...Also, if Mitt can improve his likeability factor and I think he can take the nomination and to do that he needs to tell folksy, simple stories that the Southern GOP-ers can related to…
