Comments on: Iraq Dominates Dems' Presidential Debate

8 Presidential Candidates Try To Distinguish Themselves In First Debate Of '08 Race

Amazing! Now folks the Third Reich would be PROUD of our Nazi's. Talk about hate for those who don't agree with you? LOL The good part is that the Democrats have some good ideas as to how to get this nation back on course again and how to stop Bin Laden. It will not be easy though as most experts say he not only has rebuilt his machine of Terror but is now stronger than when he attacked us. Most of these canidates could again produce the kinds of Ally support we had in the FIRST Gulf War and in Bosina. If not for our previous leaders and the good will they produced in the world we'd be in much worse shape. That has got to be priority ONE, getting a President that can at least visit other nations without an Army surrounding them.

Well, I can see by the intellegent comments on this message stream, that the Republicans are running scared. It really is sad that so far they have no candidate that is inspirational. The Democrats have two candidates that I would vote for (as in independent) but the Republicans have no one. Come on Republicans, this is a wide open election. Can't you find one person that doesn't have a bunch of baggage, or knows where they stand, or cares about American instead of GWB's failed agenda.

Hey all you redneck neo-con clones. One of these candidates will be your next president. Get used to it!

Am I reading this right??? You're gonna vote republican??? The party that does the right hing, right??? Right!!!! :)

Actually, I agree. The field of truly honorable candidates is pathetically slim. If McCain were 10 years younger and not a RINO turncoat, I could maybe back him. He's the only one I consider a man of honor - just because of his Vietnam service.

Dembots running for office are hysterically funny to watch.

And listen to! I LOVE the Hillary "southern accent" when she's in front of blacks. Oh, Gore too...remember that?? Doing his black southern preacher??? I honestly don't know how they sleep at night.

From realclearpolitics.....our next President:

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney accused Democrats of cowardice in ducking presidential debates hosted by sponsors they dislike, saying that Republicans have proven more willing to appear in potentially hostile forums.
Romney said the May 3 debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library -- co-sponsored by The Politico and MSNBC -- proves that Republicans "have a lot more courage of our convictions," because they are willing to take questions from a moderator who earlier in his career worked as an aide to Democratic politicians. Democratic presidential candidates have refused to take part in two debates co-sponsored by Fox News, arguing that the network is slanted toward Republicans.

"Why is it that the Democrats wouldn't even go on Fox, but we Republicans are happy to sit there and have Chris Matthews of the Carter administration, former chief of staff to (ex-House speaker) Tip O'Neill?" asked Romney, in a Tuesday evening interview here with The Politico. "We're happy to sit there and have him dish questions to us, but they won't even go on Fox."

Dembots running for office are hysterically funny to watch.
They try to out-do each other in how conservative and Republican-like they are to get elected. Because if they ran on what they REALLY believe, they would never win a national election.

[antoniof123]

The Democrats at least have something to say The Republicans have already said it. The top three canidates of the family party of god have 6 divorces between them 9 marriages, at least 3 cases of cheating on their former wives. The Democrats no Divorces and the only case of cheating was forgiven. So the real question is do as I say and not as I do party or one that just does the right thing.

.. all smiles and.. fancy hair.. and fancy fair.. and "men of the world". WHO DOESN'T HATE THAT STUFF? Huh?

This is not some god damned Walmart. THIS IS AMERICA! THIS IS AN ELECTION! We're electing a statesman! Not an embarassment. You got dem der fancy grey hairs! Now git on the ball, and stop reading from yer god damned scripts. There's people out ther hungry.. HUNGRY LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE! Fer the truth! Give it to'em. And quit knocking each other, nor pat'n each other on the back. This ain't no ******* freak show.

[booyaw_77]

Gore was likely one of the best presidential candidates we ever had. I mean, I'm talk'n upsidedown stuff. No war with Iraq.. Environmental revolution? Getting rid of all those eyesores? Disease? You name it, Gore was one of the best. But it was the debate that killed him. He "sold the farm". He looked like a god damned cheap shoe salesman. NOBODY gets what dat guy was debate'n about. NOBODY! It was amazing.. I walked away from the Gore debates think'n it was a slam dunk to not vote for him.

I was unaware of the debate tonight until just now reading this. I must say that I am interested in what these candiates have to say. The republican debate will be held in Columbia, SC on May 15. At 5:00 that afternoon, across the streen from the building housing the debate, there will be a Fair Tax rally, which has not been widely publisized yet.

I would love to see a non partisain debate between all the hopefulls...on big room, all the canidates. Make it about a 4 hour debate, on every issue from Iraq to Immigration.

The worst thing a candidate can do is "sell him/herself". Thats the worst thing. Because democrats have what I call "vacuum cleaner salesman syndrome". They all too often appear like they're hairy krishna shoe salesman knocking at your door trying to sell you a non-brand name product.

Think of it as a credit card. Ya git a whole buncha credit card offers in the mail, but it is an unsaid rule that if its a good credit card, you gotta go to it, and it doesn't come to you.

Thats what Bush is: One of them there credit cards that we went to think'n it was better.

[booyaw_77]

The worst thing I find about the debates is that its a resume. They'll often give us their resume. Comparing themselves to each other like they're on Trump's "You're fired". And thats not what a debate is supposed to be about. There should be no comparisons to each other. There should be no knocking each other. This is not a business. This is an election. Let us decide whose the best candidate, not the candidates.

[booyaw_77]

There weren't nuth'n more embarassing than the democratic primary debate. Nuth'n. Disorganization? Crazy hairy spaz attacks? Back stabbing? They say they're running against "the republicans", but I don't believe'em.
