When a politician says, “we should be humane”, hide the women and the booze!!!

Yeah, you’re right.

If a kid whose parents are illegals tries to get an education, lock the parents up and put the kid into a foster home.

If an illegal alien with a ruptured appendix walks into a hospital, take him to jail and let him die there.

If an illegal alien reports being raped, arrest her.

Any mayor like Rudy Giuliani who won’t order his PD to do these things is running a SANCTUARY CITY!!!1!!one!1!

I think we should also send SWAT teams door-to-door to search for illegal immigrants. The real Americans aspiring to be gardeners, janitors, dishwashers and bus-boys are counting on us…

I’ll never get tired of that. :)

He did say we should be humane. Anyone who has a problem with that, Rudy is probably not your guy.

I’d be interested in knowing who everyone thought won, and who tanked the most.

Fred pwnd them all. He was the only adult on the stage.
I thought the rest of the candidates came off like 7th grade girls argueing.

Senator McCain,

I agree with you – your plan on illegal immigration is NOT amnesty, because you include a minor fine.

But your plan is WORSE than amnesty – you REWARD illegal aliens by offering them the ill-gotten goods they came here to steal – residency in our country and the most precious gift in the world – a pathway to American citizenship.

How do you expect to stem the flow of illegal immigration when your plan encourages MORE future illegal immigration?

I’d be interested in knowing who everyone thought won, and who tanked the most.

Obama won. Hillary tanked the most. That’s out of both debates.

On just the Rep side, I think that Romney won, but it’s very difficult to tell from the sideline ’cause I don’t know how McCain and Huck’s potshots will play in NH. He played the role of front-runner in this debate and got a lot of airtime. That will help him.

Fred did good, but he didn’t talk much and I was really surprised because I thought this debate he would really put himself forward. He is a candidate that expects his words to resonate with the voters, but he doesn’t educate or rally undecideds with him. In other words, he is compelling if you know where he stands and agree with him.

Rudy did fine I thought. He explained some things I was curious on and I thought presented himself in the context of detail tonight.

Huck and McCain if their performance has an impact, it will be negative on Mitt. This was Huck’s worse performance I thought.

If we keep this same thread for the debate tonight, it’ll push 2500 comments.

Nah, we should get a seperate thread. Just start an off-topic religious debate and this one will be up to 2000 in no time.

I’m watching tonight though, definitely.

Ok, I’m back, with a hell of a hangover

I’ve never seen so many garbled comments, ever on HA.

Must’ve been a lot of alcohol involved among our commentators.

What does that tell you about our political climate?

Question: Who best to run against Obama, to challenge him on the issues with minimum vulnerabiulity to the PC bigots’ counterclaims of racism?

Romney, because he and his father marched with MLK!

In the teeth of Republican primary opposition, both insist on letting every illegal alien stay in the United States forever. They insist that that’s not an amnesty, because the illegal aliens would have to pay a fine.

Rudy said no such thing.

He said you start by deporting the felons as a priority while physically securing the border and setting up a tamperproof system to track everyone who comes in. Then in a few years, once you’ve accomplished that, you decide about what to do next.

He did say we should be humane. Anyone who has a problem with that, Rudy is probably not your guy.

This isnt a popularity contest, this is voting for the ruler of the free world, and people should vote for the candidate who BEST represents them, no matter what party they are in.

Unfortunately, our electorate HAS become a veritable “beauty contest” with the one who performs on stage the best winds up getting elected. It’s sad but true, and it’s very disheartening.

Paulnuts (with handmade signs left over from their last Libertarian campaign) gave their idol 39%

Republicans, dividing the rest of the 61%:

McCain – 16%
Thompson and Hunter – both at 15%
Mitt – about 10%
Huck – 5%
Rudy – ZERO! No votes. Nada.

I enjoyed the debate vicariously from all the comments here;
thanks all! Hotel cable could not get the debate during our breaks!

Fred/Dunc – 30%!!!
