O'Reilly was tough on Bush (he stomped Bush.) Here they are squaring off; and few are ever ready for Bill O'Reilly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYxKOyWHaTw&NR=1 Rosie O'Donnell claimed she got diarhea before the show, out of fear (so Bill went easy on her.) Ron is excellent - O’Reilly is tough, and when you hold him off or beat him you can look good.

He didn't say whether or not most of it got on to him for making an ass out of himself. One writer upbraided him for his rude behavior towards Paul by his interruptions and trying to talk over him. Billo's response was that the congressman wouldn't give a direct answer to the question and tried dodging it. As for trying to talk over him Billo says he wasn't doing that and the writer must be a cockerspaniel to have heard that. I regret he didn't read my letter based on the post above. As sanctimoneous as Keith Obermann is, I hope he continues to give O'Reilly hell. Tory,

I'm not done answering your question, and I'm not going to answer another until I am. Lower your volume or I'm leaving. I'm not giving you an hour to answer a simple question. Then don't ask me questions that will require lengthy answers. You either know what you're doing or you don't. And if you get loud or can't behave civilized I'm leaving. The first order of business:

Bill was his usual obnoxious self, employing his favorite technique of argument. That is to say attempting to win it by getting loud and trying to talk over the person. When Paul tried to give him some historical background Bill replied back with "I don't have time for a history lesson." That is the problem with people like him and the biggest fool on tv and the radio, Sean Hannity. They never learned history and wind up repeating it. Paul conducted himself with his usual dignity and intelligence. Jim,

Chris Wallace should get a ass whipping from his father. He tried to disgrace Dr. Paul with his view of getting rid of the IRS and equating that with getting rid of the CIA? Well, we only have 15 intelligence agencies running around, and all of them couldn't prevent 9/11? What a better reason to get rid of them. But the thing that gets me with the media, and refusing to get Dr. Paul's views on domestic issue is on health care. They haven't asked this candidate a question about health care, and he's a freakin doctor for Christ sake.

The national ID might grow out of an ID for aliens. In the same debate Huckabee called for automated tacking of aliens. Perhaps, the national ID would be RFID and could not be removed. The tracking feature might require a lot of infrastructure. “We have a national ID on our doorsteps.”

Thankfully, there were a good number of cheering audience members. It is hard to believe how twisted Chris Wallace and Sean Hannity really are and Ghouliani Nosferatu's grimace is unnerving - this man needs to return to his crypt.

Amazing to hear a Republican make sense, to give proper value to reason, history, and evidence. I had given up on the GOP ever being rational again. Even if Paul doesn't win, I hope his supporters get a lot more active within the GOP. Take it over. It will be good for everyone on the planet.

There is a BIG difference! Paul strongly believes in national sovereignty, and every year, Paul introduces a bill that will keep the US out of the UN, and vice versa (but it dies in committee).
