June 5, 2007 - 19:07 ET by bigtimerThanks for having this so much.
Check in and out as it goes.
Weird buzzer sounds going on twice so far just like Jeopardy....lol!
I see Wolf Blitzer is the star tonight.
June 5, 2007 - 19:36 ET by SportPoliticsI see Wolf Blitzer is the star tonight. He can't sit down in "the well" below the candidates and their podiums, no-no - he, the most important man - a liberal on stage - must be the "free walker" on his white catwalk... "elevated above the candidates".... those lowly republicans...
Oh wait, the pecking order, I see, has two people sitting down at some red desk asking questions.. in " the well" I guess. Oh wiat again, I see they are on an ELEVATED platform above the audience and the candidates...as if they are JUDGES over their courtroom...LOL ( libs are BAD PEOPLE)
CNN's speaker system is breaking now "due to lightning" says wb, with his Pontius Pilate Jesus question... the one the left wing wackos just can't resist. I guess their mic fails only when Guliani is talking, and a bit when McCain talks, otherwise cnn lightning doesn't strike. Gawd how pathetic they are.
CNN you are amateurs.
Ok this jackass wb has asked the last idiotic left wing question I can take... " McCain , do you HAVE a PROBLEM with these oil companies making insane profits in their bloated sales..."
Ok, I turned it off, I'm boycotting the jackassed demolib idiots of CNN.
Grrr... ok boycott over, for now.

June 5, 2007 - 21:11 ET by Del DolemonteWolfie did the exact same thing Sunday night with the Dems. And believe it or not, he got called out on it today by the head of the New Hampshire Democrat Party!

June 5, 2007 - 20:43 ET by newstalkmachineWolf Libzer
June 5, 2007 - 20:55 ET by SportPoliticsDid you hear how quickly Wolf Libzer zipped in the question about what's the worst mistake of this administration,then tried to make sure everyone took the bait and got a chance to answer....
I wonder if they asked the democrats what's the worst mistake of their party... Yeah, I lied, I know they never asked them... that would be heresy for Wolf - he knows the demos are faultless.

June 5, 2007 - 19:14 ET by Matthew SheffieldNotice the overwhelmingly hopeless tone on Iraq. Romney correctly pointed out the ridiculous nature of the hypothetical by posed by Blitzer.
Later, the negativity continues. What if Petraeus says the surge hasn't worked? Asked repeatedly.
Yes I noticed this.I also did
June 5, 2007 - 19:20 ET by bigtimerYes I noticed this.
I also did not know Tancredo wasn't for the surge, unless I misunderstood.
That buzzer was not on the Democrats debate...it is annoying, it is still going on....purposely IMO.
McCain made a great point about Hillary calling this Bush's war too.
I am standing writing this...have to listen for a second now...lol!
My guy Hunter is doing great so far also ......JMO.
Duncan Hunter
June 5, 2007 - 20:59 ET by SportPoliticsYeah, Duncan Hunter , " their best friend, Romney, Guliani's and McCains' is Teddy Kennedy "....
LOL - Thanks for telling the truth again.
I'm sure the vast majority will miss it BT, but Hunter is the one who stands for what EVERYONE has been claiming they want.
q. Wolf Libzer " ~ Shouldn't the republicans be bringing it together with the democrats like Romney did...blah blah."
A+. Hunter " ~ NO. They should be getting further away from them ....."
OK, it's Duncan Hunter, but I know - he's not pretty or smooth enough ? or tall enough or slim enough or his hair isn't great or something... wrong State he's from or whatever it is...
Yeah, the guy telling it like it is, get FURTHER AWAY from libs and the democrats- the guy with the BALLS to say it .
NO. Ted Kennedy is those three's best friend....
lol - Oh well........
My son signed up for Service on September 12th the day after the attack...

June 5, 2007 - 21:12 ET by SportPoliticsSome cnn lady called Hunter's answer the best of the debate. I wasn't looking - only heard it.
They're pushing Guliani - he gets first interview with Larry suspenders. lol- Guliani didn't shake his hand! roflmoa Left him hanging...
Now figure- Guliani is gun control and abortion is great - just what 2 of the MAIN lib issues are.

June 5, 2007 - 21:28 ET by bigtimerEvening bot,
He really did well tonight, he got a little more time for once.
I would have it Hunter/Thompson if I had my way because I have followed Hunter so long, but I did Thompson too when he was in the Senate...Hunter is just more outspoken and conservative.
Like he said, he wrote the bill for the 854 mile fence on the border...he also said it has been purposely halted with only 11 miles built so far to cram through the McCain/Kennedy Immigration Bill down our throats....he is right!
Great points made...the spin room can ignore it....people that watched it hopefully won't.
Unfortunately...some will just grab on to soundbites...like they are promoting McCain right now.

June 5, 2007 - 21:34 ET by botgAnd a fine eve it tis. Duncans a hometown favorite for me. As i've said before he would be my pick but lacks the national exposure so a VP spot would be great. (Speaks his mind so Sec of State is out) I get to hear him on Rick Roberts and Roger Hedgecock fairly often, he has not changed his postions to tune up for the race which i consider a good quality.

June 5, 2007 - 21:40 ET by RESTLESS 1Duncan did well tonight. It's the first I've been able to listen for any length of time. I could go with Hunter/Thompson for eight years. If Thompson were younger, I would say we could follow that up with Thompson/? for another eight.

June 5, 2007 - 21:46 ET by BlondeBruce,
It seems like the "second tier" candidates kicked a$$ tonite....
The overall tenor of the debate was serious....and so unlike that travesty the other nite.
I thought McCain's grandstanding was just that...he's a nice old war hero, but he is so, uummmm, yesterday.
On the whole, a good conservative effort.
I'm not sure who "won"...but then again, I didn't stick around to hear the liberals tell me who did the best.
Can't wait until the conservatives (or the dummy dems, for that matter) actually have a forum that suits.

June 5, 2007 - 21:52 ET by botgBlonde,
Indeed we did get to hear from some of the other voices tonight. I really wish that McCain would realize that he 'shot a hole in the bottom of his boat to get the water out' and just leave quietly.

Yeah botg Duncan is the real deal
June 5, 2007 - 22:09 ET by SportPoliticsYeah botg Duncan is the real deal. You know with this preliminary vote thing, whoever gets the nomination is the national exposure then. Too bad it's already so set in stone.
Really, we have Guiliani, then McCain and Romney. Not sure how Thompson will fit in.
Duncan Hunter is the real conservative, though. No doubt about that, and he's, I agree, not really in the running for the nomination. I'm sure the msm will make certain it stays that way.
I mean how the HECK can the msm claim exactly what a republican is - then when one is staring them in the face, with his son MAKING THE SACRIFICE - being the FENCE BORDER BUILDER - and all the rest... and gee... forget it...
I just... it's so daggone slanted...
Honestly, might as well forget real conservative republicanism, I see it's already hammered far left against it.
The whole thing is going left again.

Why doesnt Wolf just ask
June 5, 2007 - 19:20 ET by E4PukeWhy doesnt Wolf just ask the only question really on his mind? " With democrats right about everything, including that we lost the war, socialized medicine works, higher taxes stimulate the economy, the war on terror does not exist and is only a slogan, and that Bush sucks, how can any republican hope to win?" Or another question im sure Wolf wants to ask "What is the best thing about President Bill Clinton having another opportunity to be back in the White House?"

Best commercial with Military angle
June 5, 2007 - 19:25 ET by SportPoliticsBest commercial with Military angle:
The "Tide to go Stick"...
The recruits are lined up for inspection and one is found to have a stain on the lower front T.
The Sgt. starts face to face chewing winding up with the recruit disgracing amongst other things, his "Momma".... as the Tide Stick is secretly backpassed and the recruit scrubs it clean - at which point the Sgt. notices the stain is gone and does the backstep curdling freakout asking loudly " What did they send me a freaking Houdini!? "
Great commercial. Not too often I like a commcercial but that one is great.

Romney is a fool. It is not a
June 5, 2007 - 19:32 ET byRomney is a fool. It is not about what is "fair." It is about that the illegal immigrants are criminals because they came here illegally.
----I tuned in late, did they let Tom Tancredo talk on the topic of the illegal immigrants?
Also, why has no one mentioned the fact that only the President can grant pardons for offenses against the United States? Why is Congress even voting on an amnesty bill? Amnesty is simply a group pardoning. If the offense is against the US, then only the President can do the pardoning. (This is as per the US Constitution.)

Romney did fine....To others
June 5, 2007 - 19:41 ET by bigtimerRomney did fine....
To others here....so far they have spent quite a bit of time on illegal immigration...more than they did with the Dem's, and they only asked three candidates direct questions too, unlike here tonight...with the exception of English being our Official Language.
....as for this lightening strike crap...I believe it is just that....CRAP.

Rudy says he is against abort
June 5, 2007 - 19:45 ET byRudy says he is against abortion, but he is fine with letting mothers kill unborn babies while in the womb? hmm....
And for the record, the Hebrew word used for "day" in the Biblical account of the beginning, means 24 hours.
Did you notice that McCain double talked about the teaching of evolution?
And Romney leaves out that he believes that Jesus is a man who attained a position of being a god, as well as who he calls "the father." He talks as if he believes in the same God as evangelical Christians, when he does not.
Where is Tom Tancredo? Are they scared to ask him a question? Nothing like the enemy controling the show.... jeepers!
What is Ron Paul getting at? Is he saying that the war that we are in, is about oil?
What a riot that the man is questioning these men if they would undo what Bill Clinton did. Will he ask Hillary this?

June 5, 2007 - 19:59 ET by Airforce_5_ODebra, For the last time I will ask you to keep religion, your prejudice against another’s religion out of it.
I am sick and tired of your religious bigotry.
One more remark and I will make a complaint against you to the rest of the site.
I hope I am clear.

June 5, 2007 - 20:11 ET by Airforce_5_OWell you reap what you sow.
It is been obvious to most here that you hate Mormons.
You can only insult them.
I have never spoken disrespectfully on anyone else’s religion.
Anyone who preaches hatred of a religion is no Christian.
If you represent all evangelicals then it is clear I do not want to be any part of it.

June 5, 2007 - 20:51 ET by TruthMongerI don''t see any hatred from Debra - it's just very detailed doctrinal differences she's articulating...along with an absolute ton of patience in the face of the daily pounding she can get around here...
I'm an evangelical and I understand and agree with her doctrinal points. I just wouldn't express them the same way at all. And right now I prefer Romney for the presidency. He's an incredibly decent and accomplished individual who has a very strong conservative track record - and re-elected as governor in one of our most liberal states no less, and he has an astounding reputation for swooping in and fixing very big messes...I'm impressed...

June 5, 2007 - 21:03 ET by Conservative Voicemaybe not on this thread Truth, but the label fits her.
Good for you for recognizing that voting for a Mormon doesn't mean you have to convert to Mormonism...she can't make that leap...has stated that she can't vote for him because he is Mormon...has judged Mormons to be Blasphemous and could not find one positive thing to say about my Church.

June 5, 2007 - 21:13 ET by TruthMongerWell thanks CV - appreciate that - like I said - her comments maybe technically "accurate" stuff in my camp but ouch it's harsh!!!
I'm an evangelical Christian - I have different doctrinal beliefs - but I'm grateful for Mormons, also Catholics, even Muslims...we share many critical values - let's build on that...
And I also believe the "people on the street" are devout and sincere about the same God - regardless of doctrinal differences...
And while they are important - I don't like to obsess about belief differnces like Debra...

June 5, 2007 - 21:21 ET by Conservative VoiceTruth, then we are indeed brothers, because that is exactly how I feel as well. We are at war on so many fronts...let us build on what we have in common, because we have so much in common. I am so tired of all the divisions, if we continue to fight each other we will lose everything. If Glenn Beck can find something he can agree with Al Sharpton on, then by all means I can do the same.

June 5, 2007 - 21:31 ET by Del DolemonteActually, WMUR used to rule, but sadly has become just another affiliate. As a Granite Stater I can tell you they ARE preferable to Clintoon News Network, however.
WMUR got its start in a modest brick building in Manchester in the 1950s, and was owned by the infamous Manchester Union-Leader newspaper. In the "old" days their major money-making show was "Uncle Gus" every afternoon, a live kid's show with Gus Bernier doing the standard combo of Buffalo Bob Smith and Captain Kangaroo material, broken up with Dick Tracy and Popeye cartoons.
Nowadays, WMUR has sleek studios, and a very rich owner, Hearst-Argyle. To their credit, they stick with their major anchors, including longtimer Tom "Ted Baxter" Griffith.
A couple of years ago I went to Hawaii on vacation, and when I turned on the tv, there were all of 'MUR's same station logos, news theme jingles, etc. Turns out KITV-4 in Honolulu is one of WMUR's sister stations.

Plus the surge has not even been completed yet.
Debra has to know what the surge is or she would of already asked me earlier...you would think.

June 5, 2007 - 21:03 ET by BlondeWhat is the surge?
D'oh!
Deb had her head buried in her bible, apparently.
McCain was a pandering fool....but he played rather well to the crowd. I'm not buying it....but for the non-junkies around...it might resonate.
For those of us who are real pol junkies...the second tier candidates are great...they won't gain any traction here, but it will give them a national identity...if the worst should happen.
On the whole, not a bad debate....well, except for the idiot moderator.

June 5, 2007 - 21:08 ET by Conservative Voiceshe is back peddling, because Tancredo is her man, and she doesn't like that there is a major flaw in his platform that makes him unelectable. Since she is beginning to post on the war (which is a breath of fresh air that she isn't posting anti-religion garbage) she is realizing the importance of taking this war seriously.

June 5, 2007 - 21:06 ET byYes, David (CV),
I have never connected that term to sending in more troops into Iraq. (I don't see what is happening as a surge, either.)
I just saw what I think was a replay of what was being spoken of here. (I had missed the beginning of the debate.) On watching the replay, it appears that Tom Tancredo would simply like those in Iraq to get to the point that they run their own nation. Isn't that what most want?
Debra...

June 5, 2007 - 21:12 ET by Conservative Voice"Isn't that what most want?"
Deb, that is the problem. The only people who don't want us there are people who are isolationists like Ron Paul, those who feel guilty (liberals) and the terrorists. It is a silly question...of course we all would love to bring the troops home and have Iraq manage itself, but here is the reality...we are still stationed in Japan, Germany, Korea....it is dangerous to be forcing the issue of coming home when the war is still going.

I am going to have to look into this more. I do not believe that Tom Tancredo would want to stop more troops from going over if more troops are needed.

Its deffinitely a WANT, but it won't happen. I think of the troublesome Middle East countries as 3rd offenders and should have their land taken away because they can't place nice with the other people. Just like a baby, or juvenile delinquint. The id who keeps coloring on the wall gets his crayons taken away and sat in the corner. The ME needs some quality time in that corner.
My impressions of the debate-if that was what it was.....
June 5, 2007 - 20:20 ET by Dave RMy impressions of the "debate"......
1) Wolf Blitzer is an idiot.
2) Rudy wears green boxers (with red socks)
3) Wolf Blitzer is an idiot.
4) Ron Paul is a hopeless isolationist. :-(
5) If Wolf Blitzer, Larry King and Andersen Cooper are the "greatest political team on TV" then the apacolypse is right around the corner.
6) Did I mention Wolf Blitzer is an idiot?
Fred, I implore you, please, please get into this race. And soon. :-)

Same here. I guess no one on his staff spends any time in here. Sad.
The other thing that really frosted me was all this talk of forcing the oil companies to do whatever the government felt they should do with their profits, as if it were any of the government's business. If the government wants to tell an oil company what to do with their earnings, then let the government start its own oil company and compete with the private ones. Than they can do whatever they like, if they actually make any money.
Each of them should have responded that the question was not legit, as it clearly was not.
Funny, I didn't hear any of them suggest what Wolf should do with his net income. That would have been my response had I been up there. I don't think Wolf would have liked being told what to do with his money.
Damned RINO fest, if you ask me.

I guess the tards in the media and on the left (gosh don't those characteristics intersection often?) cannot comprehend that a Conservative can be pissed at the sitting president, yet still be Conservative.

June 5, 2007 - 20:41 ET byThat on senator is right about needing to vote someone in who is pro-life, but he is wrong to say that he would stand by someone who is not pro-life if the person was who his party backs.
Oh, watch Romney dance around answering this question about our language being English. He turned the question into one about illegal immigration. What a doofus!
Note what Tom Tancredo says about our English language. English is the language of our country....Yesssssss.....!!!!!!!
What is McCain getting at? That we should have Spanish as a second language cause there were Spanish people who fought in our wars? My Italian born grandfather fought in WWI, should we have Italian as an official language also?

June 5, 2007 - 20:54 ET byTom Tancredo was not saying "No new legal immigration at all." He was saying only that which is benefiting to American's who are here now --for a while, till things get straightened out. He is saying that until we can figure out who is here legally and who is not, that we should holt most immigration all together.
And where did Rudy's heavy NYC accent go? Interesting how he can turn that right off.

Tancredo may have went too
June 5, 2007 - 20:55 ET by RESTLESS 1Tancredo may have went too far right on that one. I don't have any problem with LEGAL immigration at all.
H1-B Visas
June 5, 2007 - 21:00 ET by LionKingI have a problem with H1-B visas. Those are supposed to be used for jobs Americans cannot fill. That has not been the case especially in field of IT. Those visas have been used to drive down consulting rates.

June 5, 2007 - 21:09 ET by RESTLESS 1I don't particularly care for people coming here at all if their primary reason is not to become an American wholly and fully. I understand your complaint, but I prefer that to what is going on at the Southern border.

Sure some percentage MIGHT be valid... but that isn't saying much.
