Rudy and Ron | 5 p.m. Mr. Giuliani jumped on Ron Paul, who had gotten a big applause when he asserted that of course a president should seek Congressional approval before launching an attack against Iran. He said there had never been a time when the president did not have time to consult with Congress. Mr. Giuliani pointed to 9/11.
Mr. Paul said the 9/11 attacks were committed by “19 thugs” who were not a country. Mr. Giuliani countered that there had been 23 plots by Islamic terrorists against the United States since 9/11.

6 p.m. Fred Thompson is asked about his first debate. He says it was “a lot like home. I didn’t say which kind of home.”
He added: “I’ve enjoyed watching these fellas. I’ve got to admit, it was getting a little boring without me, but — (laughter) — I’m glad to be here now.”

4:02 p.m.: Newcomer Fred Thompson gets the first question. What will he do to ensure economic vibrancy in this country? He says there is no reason to believe we’re headed toward a recession. His voice is a little froggy and he drew a blank there for a few seconds, apart from not offering his prescription for the economy.
From the Transcript:
The stock market seems to be doing pretty well. I see no reason to believe we’re headed for — (pause) — for economic downturn. As far as the economic prosperity of the future is concerned, I think it’s a different story. I think if you look at the short term, it’s rosy. I think if you look at a 10-year projection, it’s rosy. But we are spending money we do not have.

If Rudy had bought fucking radios that worked, over 100 or more firemen would still be here...

And Brownback, kid of a dick, but at least he's talking about Iraq in terms of a political solution...

I liked Tancredo's response to Matthews asking him if he'll support the nominee unnamed.

Paraphrase: "I'm tired of being put in a position of supporting the lesser of two evils."

I think all Americans should think this way.

If I had a sex change, becoming a Republican, I'd vote for Ron Paul.

But I'm keeping my nuts, so.....

Oct. 9, 2007 - Fred Thompson stood a head taller than his fellow Republicans but he seemed in over his head as the CNBC debate began here. He wore the pained look of a man in need of a powerful digestive pill. But by the time the two-hour marathon ended, the new guy on the trail had gained just barely enough confidence, composure and credibility to make it to the next round of the GOP food fight. “Fred didn’t die today,” said Ron Kaufman, one of Mitt Romney’s top spin doctors.

We could let those of you who have married from within double your points, and we'd still walk away with it.

George Allen and George Bush alone only get you 26 points.

Romeny had the best zinger at freddie's expense with the L&O shot.

Romney had the worst blunder, where he said he'd have to consult his lawyers before any kind of pre-emptive strike..

Ugh.

Paul socked him good on that one.

You know what? I'm no fan of Romney, but that's not actually what he said, despite the fact that MSNBC and Chris Matthews blowing it way out of proportion...

He said something about "letting the lawyers work it out afterwords..."

The question in Tuesday's Republican presidential debate in Michigan came from MSNBC host Chris Matthews, who asked, "Governor Romney... if you were president of the United States, would you need to go to Congress to get authorization to take military action against Iran's nuclear facilities?"

Romney's responded, "You sit down with your attorneys and (they) tell you what you have to do. But obviously the president of the United States has to do what's in the best interest of the United States to protect us against a potential threat. The president did that as he was planning on moving into Iraq and received the authorization of Congress..."

Matthews interjected: "Did (President Bush) need (a go-ahead from Congress)?"

"You know," Romney replied, "we're going to let the lawyers sort out what he needed to do and what he didn't need to do."

But that removes his answer from the larger context brought up by your Paul no less, of the legality of unilaterally launching military operations without a declaration of war...

It's amazing how fucking stupid these MSNBC dickweeds are...

They don't deserve Olbermann! Jesus, why can't I get a job in this analysis shit? Half that panel had a sum IQ of 30!
