Giuliani and Romney butted heads last night on the Youtube republican debate. Who would you say was more convincing?

They both convinced me equally that they should not be president.

At least Giuliani has the honesty to standby most of his beliefs. Romney just does a 180 degree turn on everything and he's as big a liar as GWB.

Mitt doesn't know what waterboarding is? Good grief. He'll appoint cabinet members from the high percentage ethnic, religious groups? Good grief. I have already caught Rudy in several lies. He wanted to attack Romney on his fiscal record and pretended his was a good track record. The fact is he added $12 billion to the NYC debt. At least his wife didn't call and interrupt the debate.

I did not like McCain's "Vietnam" cheap shot at Ron Paul.

So can anyone convince me that any of the front runners for the GOP would be a serious change of directions from Bush?

Is America going to vote for four more years of the Iraqi quagmire? With the exception of Ron Paul, everyone else needs to get held in an extreme wedgie until a direct answer is given.
I think Rudy would be bush V2. I think Romney is more fiscally Conservative, and more socially liberal by far. Romney's main problem is that he's trying to hide his more liberal social positions to get the nomination, which could lead to him being called a flip flopper.

McCain is shotting himself in the foot every time he attacks Ron Paul. He's a big time War Hawk, and can't stand the thought of anyone being against his wars. So instead of attacking those in front of him, he's going backwards and attacking Ron Paul for being anti-war, and is only giving Ron Paul more time to get his anti-war message out there.

I don't believe either Romney or Giuliani when they say anything. On almost all the issues, Romney has flip-flopped just before the election, and Giuliani's I just don't like.

Until last night I would have supported Romney if he received the nomination, but he then answered the question on the CS Navy Jack so stupidly, first he looked flabbergasted that they dare have him answer a question that may alienate South Carolinians, second his answer didn't actually answer the question, all he said was that is shouldn't be flown. The answer probably alienated at least 1/2 of the South Carolinians who saw the answer, and then probably another half of those who will hear about it, so goodbye South Carolina if the voters there pay attention. I mean how many general election plebiscites have they held on the issue, and all have succeeded, plus the legislature and governor won't take it down.

Nether Mike Huck did the best last night

And I think McCain did a good job as well even though I disagree with him on water boarding. All always like McCain though he’s one of my heroes.

I still don’t know who I prefer though

Guilani by default.

Giuliani made less of a fool of him self last night than Romney. Romney flip flopped and got crushed by McCain when it came to the torture question.

I liked both of them last night.

























It showed how two-faced, vile and ignorant top-tier candidates can be and how many times will he mention the words "9/11"
