#1 DDOSing every bloody venue, online and off, they can get their keyboards near.

That explains the massive broadcast requests on ports 137 and 138: Damn Paulites!

#2 Ron Paul supporter? It's a nice night. Maybe the UFO's are running? Why don't you check it out...

#3 The more you know Giuliani the easier it is to see his arrogance. His leadership qualities and drive are obvious, but does he have the flexibility necessary for a good President?

Unfortunately, the marriage to his cousin issue, won't play well in Iowa.

#4 But it'll probably lock up the Southern vote...

#5 Dear Ron Paul supporters:

In the last debate, your guy said that we had no legitimate security interest in sending troops to Afghanistan.

May I remind you that Afghanistan was the operating base of al-Qaida on 9/11/01. You might remember that date--you know, worst terror attack on American soil? Remember the WTC?

Your guy apparently would have left the place alone, even after that.

That is not merely worng, not merely unwise, but sand-poundingly stupid. The kind of sand-pounding stupidity that only a pot-smoking anti-semitic nutcase is capable of.

As a matter of historical fact, pot-smoking anti-semitic nutcases tend not to do well in Republican primaries. In fact, even drug-free anti-semitic nutcases tend to do poorly. There is another major political party that is more favorably disposed to drug use and anti-semitism and certain other things your guy seems to be partial to. He might do better with that bunch, but even they have their limits.

Bottom line: your guy will never be president. He will never be vice-president. He will never be a cabinet secretary. He will never be a deputy assistant undersecretary. He will never be so much as a GS-7 worker bee in a cubicle in the administration of anyone that does get elected president.

Deal with it.

#6 The Paulite concern is understandable. The next few months are crucial and will determine whether Lyndon Larouche is Ron Paul's VP or vice versa.

High stakes. So to speak ....

#7 I like Giuli too... but remember when he told the police to start ticketing jaywalkers? That was a laugh-riot: with the police laughing louder than anybody.

#8 Ron Paul is an isolationist, we tried that before WW1 and found it to be extremely ineffective. The things that come out of that guys mouth worry me. I thank my lucky stars that he isn't a serious contender.

Mike, he was asked that during the Fox debate that Fred Thompson missed to talk to Jay Leno's audience. Mr. Paul (I seem to recall he's a senator or something, but I can't remember) actually said 9/11 changed nothing. Mr. Guiliani tore him apart, I think completely out of turn. There's a YouTube or two of that out there somewhere.

#10 I would think that Fred would be for Fred. It's only natural :-)

This is the issue that will kill Rudy.

#11 UM, Yeah, that's what's bugging me about Giuliani, too. It's important enough to me that I am suspending my endorsement of Giuliani in order to consider other candidates.

Gotta be someone who can win. Gotta be someone who can hold his own against starpower-this election, dazzle will factor big in the outcome, I think. Gotta be someone who remembers a concept long enough to finish his persuasive argument. Gotta be someone who can correctly identify the enemy in the WoT. Giuliani is those things. That said, who else is those things?

#12 Ron Paul's philosophy is what allowed the mushrooming and spread of radical Islam throughout the world. Islamic militancy is a menace which must be confronted on all levels and how to do so may constitute the most pivotal issue for our next president.

From my vantage point, only Giuliani and Fred Thompson understand that.

#13 I think McCain understands that. He, though, is unacceptable for a wide variety of other reasons, starting at illegal immigration, another knock against Rudy and for teh Fred

#14 Fred Thompson belongs to the Center for Foreign Relations, you know the North American Union thing ? I think the reason Fred was held back was to assess the progress of their other candidates, Hitlery, Obama, Mitt Romney, and McCain. If Thompson fades, look for Al Gore to make a late splash. The CFR doesn't really want a debate on their project, like NAFTA, they expect a misinformed public to swallow the bait post haste.
Not this time, traitors, in fact lets call NAFTA back for a review.
