Thoughts on the Rebublican debate tonight

[andyfox]

Any thoughts on Fox posting the candidates' religion as the first vital statistic?

That was creepy. I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed that. Also, Hannity interuptaments. He's not letting 2 words out of Paul's mouth and the text poll thing at the bottom showing Pauls crushing everybody. Too funny.

Romney: "I am a strong supporter of the 2nd amendment but I also support the assault weapons ban."
LOL that dont make no sense Mitt.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm no fan of Romney, but it's not that hard to differentiate between muskets and machine guns. No "militia" needs assault weapons. The constitution was written back when colonists needed protection from wild savage Indians and tory Brits.

Not relevant. There's an amendment process for the Constitution. Feel free to use it if you don't like the "outdated" rights it's protecting.

[/ QUOTE ]

The assault weapons ban Romney alluded to would not require the constitution to be amended, would it? Just another piece of legislation. And regardless, I was only commenting on the difference between supporting the 2nd amendment and supporting assault weapons.

Considering your "machine gun" comment, it appears that you have no idea what an "assault weapon" is. (Hint: There is no such thing.) Before you advocate trampling on individuals' rights, you should at least learn what you are talking about.

I need a (so-called) "assault weapon" to protect myself (among other reasons) from people who don't think I "need" one.

Supporting the "assault weapons" ban absolutely contradicts supporting the RKBA and the second amendment. It is equivalent to a politician claiming he supports free speech and the 1st amendment, except when he favors government censorship.

I'm trying to find the results of the text poll on the fox news website. it appears they are not making it easily found possibly because they didn't like the results. Any body got a link, I'll repost if i find it.

When searching "debate text poll" the first thing that comes up is roudi is winning in some other poll.

edit:
Poll results from paul's website:
Mitt Romney: 29%
Ron Paul: 25%
Rudy Giuliani: 19%
Mike Huckabee: 8%
Duncan Hunter: 5%
John McCain: 4%
Tom Tancredo: 3%
Jim Gilmore: 0%
Tommy Thompson: 0%

Who was the dude who said America is the last hope of Western society? He was a congressman, about 55 yr old with white hair.

Thanks. Who was the guy in the first debate who said overturning Roe v. Wade would be the greatest day in US history?

Why is the video on msnbc.com incomplete? It stops after 1 hour, in the middle of Ron Paul's response (the one I'm ASSUMING is when he accuses America of flying planes into the WTC and Pentagon...Oh, I guess he didn't technically say that, but whatever)

Anyone have a link to the complete debate? I'm trying to get at it on foxnews.com, but the way they set up their videos is ridiculous and filled with commercials.
